mc5 - Animal-Vegetable-Mineral-Abstract: The Pants Memorial Game

The chairperson selects an object/idea/whatever and announces whether it's animal, vegetable, mineral, and/or abstract. The others have to ask questions to figure out what it is. Whomever guesses the object correctly is given the chair for the next round; repeat ad nauseam.

Inkspot

Is it a single item made from wood that I can throw at my pc?

I'm only doing this because the server has been down all morning....STRESSED!!

Raak

Is it something manufactured?

rab

Does it have a practical application?

[Chalky] Spat is not the word I would have used, friendly banter seems more appropriate somehow. Do we agree though that the classification is purely on composition, and method of production doesn't come into it?

Boolbar

[Inkspot] To answer your Q as a whole. Not likely.
[Raak] No.
[rab] By-products could have practical applications.

Chalky

Is it A vegetable in its natural state?

[rab] Agreed - I should have prefaced the word 'spat' with the adjective 'friendly'. It was pure mischief on my part and I really should have remember that such posturing doesn't necessarily transfer well on to the screen. [Material composition - yes, which is why I still think milk should have in part an 'animal' classification :-)]

Chalky

Riff's question?

[Boolbar] The food one.

Chalky

Aha - just seen the answer to Riff's question

[Boolbar] Sorry - now where are my specs?
