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.

[rab] Oooh, sort of.
One of those tardis/police box things you get in Edinburgh?
Or some sort of booth? Maybe Cherie?
Just recapping
MINERAL. At least partly MINERAL, but might be partly VEGETABLE.
Is it found in the average home? No
Is it often seen on a road-side? No
Is it manufactured? Yes
Could I use it to shelter from the rain? Yes
Is it colourful? No
Is it movable? With difficulty, even if it isn't screwed down.
Is it bigger than an averaged sized car? No
is it an umbrella? No. (You could use it to shelter from the rain, but that's not its purpose.)
Is there more than one of these? Yes
Could it be a form of transport? Er...no. (Audience goes "oooooooooh".)
Is it some form of structure? Yes
Does it have moving parts (even when screwed down)? No
Is it something that would normally be screwed down? Well, fixed in some way, yes.
Does it use electricity? Yes
A tent? No.
Is it a telephone box? Audience - wild cheers Oooh, sort of.
[rab] I think rab gets the prize. It is a police box.
Audience cheers, claps, and goes wild for rab.
So not Cherie Booth then...
Predictable, I know, but this one's ABSTRACT.
Is it natural?
... as opposed to 'created'.
Well done rab. I've always wondered what a police box was - and now I am none the wiser :-)
Is there only one of these?
So if police boxes are not often seen on road sides, where are they often seen then?
Is it fictional?
[Boolbar] They aren't, these days.
Should be working...
[Chalky] Yes.
[Boolbar] No.
[Raak] No.

The only place I've ever seen police boxes is in Edinburgh. Some are now used as police 'info boxes' (with a computer touch screen thinghy), others have been converted to coffee-vending booths.

Is it pleasant?
Would it exist if humankind didn't?
Is it a mathematical entity?
Effective repulsion
[Chalky] It can be.
[Boolbar] Yes.
[Raak] *an audience member nods sagely*... but no.
Is it something astronomical?
Like the orbit of Jupiter, the age of the universe, the constellation Orion, etc.
Has it always been known about?
Would it exist if there were no animals?
[Raak] No.
[Inkspot] I would say so.
[Breadmaster] Yes.
Is it anything to do with the passing of time?
Can we measure it in any way?
[Dazed5] No.
[Boolbar] Nnnyieahh... Possibly, although I probably wouldn't follow this avenue of thought just now.
Would a child [under age of 10] know about this?
Is it a natural reoccuring event?
[Chalky] Oh yes.
[Inkspot] No.
Can we see it occuring?
[Boolbar] We can see it, but it's not something that occurs.
Is it a term for a collection things?
When we see it, does it usually have the same colour (if any)?
[Inkspot] No.
[Boolbar] Yes. *Audience begins whispering excitedly*

I have a feeling Boolbar really wants to get this one...

Is it the sky?
Is it a symbol of some sort?
So, if it doesn't occur does that mean its there all the time?
Is it a rainbow?
[rab] I'm just bored . . . .
[Breadmaster, Raak] No.
[Lib] Um. I could get all philosophical and ask how would we tell... All I can say is that it just 'is'...
[Boolbar] No.
Shadows ?
Not the guitar plucking popular beat combo.
