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 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 :-)
[Breadmaster] No. [Chalky] Yes, technically. Generally, probably not. *wonders what kind of questions you'd be asking otherwise* :)
Is it a Christmas tale or story?
Is it connected with the giving of presents?
[Chalky] *Echoes ZK's thoughts* Explain! Explain!
[Inkspot]No.
[Kim]Hmmm...that depends...possibly. I'll say: for me, personally, no.
Is it festivities?
[Software] No. It generally involves them but is not festivities themselves. The usual questions seem to be missing from this round; they might help.
Is it fictional?
[Raak] No.
Is it an emotion?
[ZK, Kim] ahem ... like Ann Elk - I have a theory. However, it would be unfair to hijack this game in order to expound it. I'll mention it in Banter one day, I'm sure :-)
Is it an expression or saying?
Is is a measure of time?
[Chalks] I'll look forward to that. P.S. I think it's Anne, not Ann.
Seasons Greetings?
Is it Christmas?
Is it a 'sin'?
[Chalky] No.
[Inkspot] No.
[Kim] In a way.
[Software] No. [Raak] (excited murmurs from audience)OOOoooh....no.
[Chalky] It depends what you do with it :)
Is it the season of goodwill?
ZK] Not a bloke? That means we males are outnumbered.
[BtD] No.
Was everyone assuming up to this point that I was? Ah well.
It might help to follow Kim's lead. Or Raak's.
Boxing Day?
[Raak].........no.
Is it the Twelve Days of Christmas?
Is it a film?
[Kim] No. [Inkspot] Not to the best of my knowledge. I daresay it has featured in many.
Christmas Eve?
New Year?
is it an event like the Queens Christmas Address to the Commonwalth?
[Chalky, Inkspot] No.
[Kim] Yes!
*whooping, cheering, goes generally wild for Kim*
Gosh!
Thank you one and all and especially to ZK for a festive and entertaining go. Right: this one is.....*flattened trumped makes ham-fisted attempt at fanfare*....ABSTRACT!
New Years Day?
Can we discard the seasonal theme now?
Is it a fictional character?
Is it an action? (oblig.)
I had assumed that ZK was male, on the basis of my theory that the more strange the nickname, the more likely the person is to be male. But I really want to hear Chalky's theory now.
Is it a measure of time?
I want to hear Chalky's theory too! My name is filched from "Insurance - the White Man's Burden", if anyone ever wondered...
Is there only one?
isn't my nickname strange?
Is it alive?
Is it related to ISIHAC?
Sorry I'm late!
Sorry, everyone, but I had no chance to get to a computer today. Right, let's see..
[Raak] No.
[Software] Y..y..y..y..y...just about.
[Inkspot] No.
[Breadmaster] No.
[ZK] No. That's my favourite opener!
[snorgle] Strictly, yes. And Yes.
[Lib] No.
[Tuj] Not in any conventional sense.
Would all adults recognise this concept?
[snorgle] Yes, a bit. It's not a hard and fast rule. But your name is less silly than, say, "DrQu+xum", "I Say! Porter!" or indeed my own. What is the origin of "Snorgle"? Or do I not want to know?
[Breadmaster] Almost certainly not all adults. P.S. Wan't to know why I call myself Kim?
Is it connected with the arts?
OK, why do u call yourself kim?
Is it a scientific concept?
I too would be interested to hear the origins of 'snorgle'
Would all of us recognise this concept?
This is all getting very intriguing, isn't it?
Would all children recognise it?
Snorgling is a noise my dog makes - it sounds like a snore and a gargle - usually when he wants some food or attention. It's quiet but effective at getting your attention, although it can be quite annoying! (I also saw the name in a comic book letters page once, and fancied it...)
Is it connected with religion?
View Halloo!
[Chalky] No.
[Fridge] Sorry, you have to post a question or a guess as well.
[LotUS] No. I'd be interested to hear the origins of a lot of these names. Perhaps we could turn it into a game.
[Breadmaster] No.
[snorgle] No.
[Raak] Yes. *The Snark is sighted in the distance. Raak rallies the hounds with a clarion call on his bugle and sets off in hot pursuit.*
Is it connceted to Judaism?
Picky, picky
It is connected to Judaism.
Chanukkah ?
So why Kim? The origin or Lib is rather underwheling, but i still and quite fond of it!
Ok, that makes no sense. I meant to say.... The origin of Lib is rather underwhemling, but I'm still quite ford of it. (I've got a cold and my head isn't working!)
Innocence?
Passover?
Is it a particular event?
[Lib] No.
[snorgle] No.
[LotUS] No.
[Raak] Nnnnnnnn...no.
Is it a ceremony particular to this faith?
[Inkspot] No.
The Exodus?
Is it a place?
Is it unique to Judaisim?
[Raak] No.
[Inkspot] No.
[LotUS] I cannot answer that definitively, without researching other faiths, which I am not in a position to do. I *think* that it is uniquely associated with Judaism.
Is it a name for a collection of things?
Is it a Bat Mitzvah?
the girl's version..
Yom kipur?
