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.

To amplify my answer to Inkspot: it is made of metal, but while there are no doubt metals which are more or less well suited to the purpose, it is not part of its nature to actually be made of a particular metal.

Inkspot

Does it have moving parts?

Chalky

Does it tell the time?

Raak

[Inkspot] Yes.
[Chalky] YES!! (round of applause)

Chalky

deliberately not guessing ...

... so that someone else can have a turn :-)

rab

A watch?

May as well get the easy one out of the way.

Is it a digital watch?

Since Raak had to look it up on the internet, and I can't believe he wouldn't have heard of clockwork watches, so it has to be a type of timepiece that you'd think would need a battery - except there are those kinetic ones which apparently don't. Hence my guess.
