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.

Is it the passage of time?
This month?
[Kim] Bzzzzt - Repetition!
Is it "Now"?
[Chalks] Saaary! Must remember to read through previous postings....
...on which the sun never sets.
Bit of a long explanation this. Some mumbling and rambling. My assumption begins with some events such as calender months and weeks are subjective 'man-made'. On the moon with on side always in the dark the normal definition of night/day does not apply nor would yesterday,sunsets/dawn, time zones etc.. I've tried to word the question to avoid confusion with as seen from earth events, eg crescent moon, except eclipses.
1. Does it occur on the moon, if you were to live there?
2. Does it occur on earth and on moon?
3. Is it subjective man made??
The more I try to think the more I get confused ;)
Do I have to mention it again?
[Zooo K] No.
[Tuj] Yes! *An audience member faints, the rest gasp*
[Kim] No.
[Chalky] No. But the right area (see answer to Tuj)
[Kim] No.
[Inkspot] (1) I suppose you could define it on the moon using some sort of astronomic framework. (2) It occurs on the Earth because we have defined it. If we visited the moon, we would just use the Earth system and definition. (3) Taking your definition, yes. The more I try and answer these questions, the more I get confused.
Is it one of the seasons? a previous season?
bzzzzt
Repetition!
Does it descibe a period of more than seven days?
ZK]apologies, and only six moves previous. I promise not to do it again till next time.
Back tomorrow
[Inkspot] No to both!
Big Clue
Tuj came the closest - in fact I could give it to him, but he didn't put something in the right place. . .
Is it 'today'?
Or just a day?
Nostalgic for yesterday! Not me I'm far too busy, it's not like in the old days but then the summers were longer and hotter.
...and on the moon there is only today, there is no yesterday and tomorrow never comes...Mr Bond
An answer, an answer, there's always an answer . . .
[ZK] Try again . . .
[Inkspot] Is there a question in there (or an answer?)
The answer has been mentioned so many times but not as an answer.
I think it has to be "tomorrow".
...but, if it is, I shall abrogate the Chair in favour of Tuj.
Boolbar]I was hoping Tuj was around to step in and take the chair, but he does not seem to have been around much yesterday.
Heaves huge sigh of relief.
[Kim] It is indeed. If you want to give it to Tuj then by all means do so.

* Audience awakens from a long snooze and breaks into huge applause shouting out Kim and Tuj's names and slapping Inkspot on the back before dashing for the toilets *

plaudits
Well done Kim & Tuj et al. Last night, on returning from 36 hours of 'celebrating', I was surprised to find that this one hadn't been 'nailed'. Good choice Boobar :-)
re: the next one - I think whoever is 'around' now and for the next few hours should take the chair.
We want Tuj!
Where is Tuj based? If he's out of commission for any reason, then I'll supply the next one, but I propose to wait until 5.00pm UK time, to give Tuj a chance to play. Any objections to this?
Waaaah! Combination of monitor failure at work (not to mention the slowest-responding IT helpdesk in Europe and a son distinctly under the weather at home have prevented me from posting since this lunchtime. Sorry, one and all for the hiatus. OK, I see that Tuj is otherwise occupied, so I will take the chair once more. OK, since collaborations seem to be all the rage (cf. Britney, featuring Madonna), lets say: Abstract, featuring Vegetable.
Is the vegetable a food item?
