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.

Beltane?
[rab] The Snark's tail has been grasped.
[Inkspot] The Snark gulps them down and burps.
[Chalky,Penelope] The Snark flings two of its hunters into the top of a tree.
[Software] Wielding the Sword of Truth and the Shield of Fair Play, Software has captured the Snark! (Hogmanay, actually, rather than the festival of stocktaking at the piggery, but I'll give you that.)

Audience presents Software with the mounted head of a Snark.

The longboat is nearly ready for Hogmany or a some call it Up Helly Aa .
[Shetlander] Alas, the audience were insufficiently knowledgeable to give the necessary applause for the near miss.
A pre-emptitive guess. Is it man made?
*muttering from top of tree* ... pesky Snark ...
Is it alive?
Hey! There's a whole new game here. We ask a whole load of questions (say, 20) and then, only when 20 questions have been asked, the winner of the previous round thinks of something that fits some of the questions, but not all of them. On second thoughts.....where is Software, anyway?
A most unexpected surprise! * Takes Bow *. Now What?
Ah a little complex I think but Animal and Vegetable with Abstract connexions.
The Abominable Snowman?
Is it a place?
Is it customarily eaten?
Is it something someone would normaly wear?
Is it alive (in real or fictional terms)?
Hello everyone, welcome to the first batch of answers.
Chalks: No
Raak: No
Inky: No (although slight fidgeting in audience)
Lib: Yes (mostly)
Is the animal human?
Is the Vegetable part a vegetable product?
Raak - I nearly simulposted exactly the same question as you. I have adapted.
I will be away from a PC for the weekend, so no hair tearing, please. My last dip into MC will be about 1700 hours tonight.
Raak: Yes.
Chalks: No.
Is it anyone or a particular person?
Does the answer have to do with the forthcoming holiday season?
Is the vegetable part a fruit?
One more go:
Inky: No
Raak: Yes (slight ripple of clapping and murmering from audience)
Chalks: No, well not exactly, oh, all right, technically yes. (one lonely individual in audience claps a loud, embarassing single clap).
Anything to do with the story of the Nativity?
Is it a party game?
Is it the fat guy who dressses in red?
Sorry, his name escapes me right now. Father something?
Sneaking in a quick visit to MC
Chalks: No
Raak: No (Slight titter from audience)
Tuj: No. No transvestites, please.
Is the fruit mistletoe berries?
Does it involve alcohol?
Sneaking in to MC away from the entertaining.
Inkspot: Yes (Audience: ripple of applause)
Raak: Err.. yes and no (audience titters)
Kissing under the mistletoe? (or involving doing so?)
Quite abstract though in the main, I grant you...
Amazing! ZK has it.! (Audience, goes wild, stamping feet and cheering.)
Shock and surprise
Ooh! Goodness! *stands up and takes a brief bow, blushing furiously* I apologise for keeping you waiting so long, have been out doing the Christmas necessaries with the relatives. Okay, the next one is ABSTRACT.
Is it to do with Christmas?
Are you a bloke?
Is it an activity?
[Software]Yes (clapping from audience)
[Chalky] Not last time I checked. Why?
[Raak](audience mumbling) Settling eventually on no.
Is it a carol?
Is it connected with religion?
[ZK] Well - mainly because it makes a difference to the sort of questions I would ask :-)
