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.

[BtD] Technically, yes, but I don't know anyone who would.
Is it a manufactured object?
Hate having to answer vaguely!
[Raak] No. If it was (in this case) I'd have to call it mineral.
Coal?
Ooh
[BtD] No.
Oil (the stuff pumped out of the ground)?
Still vegetable
[Raak] No. I thought oil was made of long-dead sea creatures that had been crushed and whatnot?
Is it something made from a vegetable?
[Beth] No.
Is wood involved?
Isn't oil made of fossilised vegetable matter, like coal? Particularly squishy vegetable matter, maybe...
Lol at squishy
[Breadmaster] Yes. I don't know about the composition of oil, to be honest. But let's just say for now, definitively, it is not oil.
Is it something fashioned (ie manufactured, to go back to Raak's first question) from vegetable matter?
Eg: Vegemite.
Is it wood from a particular tree?
Is it hard?
[Kim] No.
[Inkspot] Yes....mostly (audience muttering excitedly)
[rab] Hard or solid?
A cricket bat?
[Riff] No.
I'm worried my answer to Inkspot's question might be a bit misleading...
A Christmas tree ?
'Twas the first day of advent, and all through the house...

Yes! It is indeed A Christmas Tree. Not very challenging then, but worth a go!
Over to Inkspot!
*peels off the label from computer reminding self of own answer :)*
Cheers and wild clapping as Inkspot flicks the switch on the lights of the Christmas Tree.
lucky guess
ZK]Your clues at the end about a tree were just enough to tip the balance.

...and the next one please, Vegetable *gasps from the audience*

Sprouts?
Is this vegatable associated with Christmas dinner?
Is it edible?
Whether or not that would preclude its being sprouts, I won't comment.
Is it native to the UK?
and we're off...
[Bob the dog]No
[Kim] No
Bread Master [No] But this is misleading as the 'whatever it is', is not meant to be eaten but eating it would do you no harm, "Edible-Something fit to be eaten" def Dictionary .com
[Software]No
A banana skin?
Orange peel?
[Raak] No
[Kim] No
Would it be classed as a fruit?
[Software] No
Is it customarily eaten by some animal?
Is it processed an any way?
[Raak]No
[Bob the dog] Yes
Is it something made of paper?
And if so, is it the recently-released fifth book in Stephen King's Dark Tower series, Wolves of the Calla?
Might it be found in the average household?
Is a beverage made from this?
[Riff]No *oooo's, two claps and a murmur from the back row * what do you mean harsh.
[Breadmaster] Yes *brief clapping and a cheer from the back*
[Dazed5] Yes *more clapping and a chair from the back falls over*
A tea-bag?
Coffee beans?
[Raak] YES!
[Riff]No
A Tea bag it is, well done Raak, your chair is ready, two secs while I rearrange the cushions to how you like them ;)

The next object is MINERAL.
Is it found in the average home?
I am going to get one of these, doggonnit!
[Bm] No.

Come to think it of, I'm not entirely sure what this is made of. It's at least partly MINERAL, but might be partly VEGETABLE.

Is it often seen on a road-side?
Is is manufactured?
[Boolbar] No.
[Lib] Yes.
Could I use it to shelter from the rain?
[Boolbar] Yes.
Is it colourful?
[Lib] No.
Is it movable?
Is it bigger than an averaged sized car?
Well - is it an umbrella?
[DrQ] With difficulty, even if it isn't screwed down.
[Lib] No.
[Wol] No. (You could use it to shelter from the rain, but that's not its purpose.)
Is there more than one of these?
Could it be a form of transport?
[Boolbar] Yes.
[Bm] Er...no. (Audience goes "oooooooooh".)
Is it some form of structure?
Does it have moving parts (even when screwed down)?
Is it something that would normally be screwed down?
[Dazed5] Yes.
[Chalky] No.
[Riff] Well, fixed in some way, yes.
Does it use electricity?
A tent?
[DrQ] Yes.
[Software] No.
Is it a telephone box?
wild cheers
