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.

Raak

[Inkspot] No.

Kim

Does it contain alcohol?

Inkspot

Is it a drink?

...and there was me ready to suggest a slice of burnt toast

Raak

[Kim] Yes.
[Inkspot] Yes.

Inkspot

Bushmills Whiskey?

Well, it covers most bases including medicinal;)

Kim

Is the vegetable constituent grapes?

Raak

[Kim] No. [Inkspot] Well, I had any type of whisk(e)y in mind, but I reckon you're close enough. Inkspot wins!

Inkspot

...and a small nip for everyone, seeing as it's a bit parkey out there today.

Let's kick this one off then, ANIMAL

Chalky

Is this human?

Well done Inky. Cheers for the wee nip. I understand that we are about to be subjected to extreme parkyness this week. *wondering how that word originated*

snorgle

Is it alive?

Maybe parky is from parka jackets? Googling for it, I haven't had any luck with the etymology other than the fact it seems to have been around since before WWII.

Inkspot

Chalky] Yes
snorgle]Yes
Some in the office are claiming that its probably too cold to snow. In this part of Wiltshire I've only been able to build two snowmen in the last 14 years, so my wife is looking forward to a couple of inches.
