Animal-Vegetable-Mineral-Abstract: The Pants Memorial Game
help
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.

Cerebus?
Riff: No
Is it mythological?
Is it a cartoon?
Is it abstract solely because it is fictional?
Has it featured in a disney/pixar movie?
I say! Well done Inkspot - that must be a record? 6 questions and straight to the answer. Strikes me that you didn't get enough recognition for that, so to make up for it:
*Audience gasps in amazement, hesitates a bit, then breaks into rapturous applause for Inkspot!*
Is it an action connected to an animal?
*shuffles in late and starts handing out placards bearing the words "Congratulations Inkspot!!!!" for people to wave*
Thank you, both very much, *blushes*

I too was most impressed by Inkspot's apparent use of ESP in the last one.
Chalky[Yes]
Zooological Keeper[No]
Breadmaster[No]
Is it a 'character' i.e. from a movie or play?
Zooological Keeper[No]
Flaubert's parrot?
Is it Gilgamesh?
Well, one-third human.
Is it someone we might have been told about in Childhood - like Jack Frost?
[Chalky] Wouldn't that be considered mythological?
Raak [No]
Breadmaster [No]
Chalky [Yes]

[barbacoa]in my mind, if is something is fictional it does not always follow that it 'mythological'.

Is this a Biblical character?
The sandman?
Raak [No]
Software [No]
Is this a character in a folk tale?
Father Christmas?
Jack Frost is though, isn't he? I don't mind if I'm wrong :)
The tooth fairy?
Raak [No]
Zooological Keeper [No]
Chalky [No]

[barbacoa] mythological and fictional is an old chestnut, and I still think there is a difference, even though it may be subjective and open to personal interpretation.

Summarising...
The answer is:
  • abstract solely because fictional
  • someone we might have been told about in childhood
The answer is not:
  • mythological
  • a cartoon
  • in a Disney/Pixar movie
  • a hobbit
  • a character in a movie or play
  • originally in a book
  • in a folk tale
  • in the Bible
  • Gilgamesh, Father Christmas, Flaubert's parrot, the Sandman, or the tooth fairy.
The bogey man?
Father Time?
Is it one person or a group of people?
Irritating curiosity
