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 a man made?
Congrats Software, a standard opening to begin with.
Is the mineral metal?
Is it an anthropomorphisation?
I can't help it, I just like the word!
Is it the Grim Reaper?
Sorry, I'm in a strange mood today
Is it Rocking Horse Droppings?
Is it some sort of chalk figure carved in a hillside?
Like one of those horses, or the Cerne Abbas giant?
Goddamit! That was my feminine side expressing itself, yeah, that's it ...
Thanks, all:
Ink: yes
Raak: Undoubtedly.
Kim: Some might say.
GL: ditto.
Snod: No.
Brendan: Don't be ridiculous. (That's my feminine side).
Is the Animal part made to be eaten?
Are those who would say it was the Grim Reaper just being rude?
(I sold my feminine side to a porn site, years ago)
Is it a homicidal cyborg or some other kind of killing machine?
Just so I know.
Is its function to produce sound?
Playing to your strengths, eh ZK?
A knight in shining armour?
Is it a fictional character?
Is it the Borg?
One of the terminators?
Or a presidential candidate?
Sorry, I only work days :-)
Inkspot: No.
GL Yes.
ZK: That's a matter of opinion.
Tuj: Not mainly.
Raak: Absolutely not.
Kim: No.
BM: Err..
Snorgle: No.
all: No.
Is it the army? or assosiated with the army?
Is the animal a horse?
No and No.
Kevin Warwick?
Microsoft?
Is it a company?
Seven of Nine?
Ah, great insight!
Brendan: Who?
GL: Yes.
Raak: Are you not confident? Your first answer was spot on!

WELL DONE RAAK! Over to you!

The next item is MINERAL.
Is it a single item?
1. e4
Does it have a specific function? (ie man-made non-decorative item)
Is it made from metal?
[Kim] No.
[GL] Yes.
[Inkspot] At least partly.
Is it found in the home?
[Software] A not entirely accurate, rather out of date, very biased answer to your question can be found here.
Is it man made?
-Brendan. I see, I think...
Did it exist before 1801?
[Brendan] It can be.
[Software] Yes (see GL's Q)
[Bm] No.
Is its function to produce sound, images or a combination of the two?
Does it use electricity ?
Is it a bridge of some kind?
Is it portable?
This is to replace my previous question, having seen Brendan's. *administers sharp rap to own wrist*
Is it made also from glass?
[Kim] Yes!
[Inkspot] Yes!
[Bm] No.
[Bm] Yes!
[Toby] No.
Is it a communication device?
Is it a laptop computer?
[Inkspot] No.
[GL] No.
A CD Walkman?
A camera?
A TV?
[B] No. [S] No. [GL] No. But one of those three is closest.
A DVD player?
A radio
A walkman (non-CD variety)?
A camcorder?
A portable DVD player?
CCTV?
[Inkspot] No. [GL] No. [Brendan] No. [all] No. [Kim] No. [snorgle] No.
One of those six is precisely as close as one of the previous three.
A mini-disc player?
Is a video component a necessary part of this thing?
[Inkspot] No.
[Toby] No.
Is it a media player?
Is it a pair of headphones?
MP3 player?
[Inkspot] Yes!
[GL] No.
[Kim] YES!
So who can get the bullseye?
An MP3 walkman?
If so, I guess Kim already hit the bullseye
[GL] Isn't that the same as an MP3 player?
The answer is a particular one.
When you say a particular one are we looking for make and model?
Not all MP3 players are portable
[GL] The brand name will do. It's quite well known.
[GL] Oh, and it is portable.
A Sony mP3 player?
(poach what?) :)
[ZK] No.
The brand name, btw, is not the manufacturer's name.
An iPod?
[Toby] *dingdingdingdingding* YES.
TRUMPET FANFARE:*doop-diddy-doop-diddy-doop-di-dee-doo!*
ABSTRACT
Is it the fearful symmetry of a tiger burning bright in the darkness of the night?
Ok, and I might win the lottery as well. :-)
Is it an action?
That'll learn me to have a days leave, and after go for a days shopping in Bath with Mrs Inkblot;stressed!!!!
[Raak] I do so want to say yes - I even thought on my way home tonight, "Raak's just going to flat-out guess this." But sadly no. Strangely, however, the general idea is pretty much spot-on.
[Inkspot] No.
Does this have anything to do with Katmandu?
[Dujon] No, nothing whatsoever.
So is it in some way taken from a poem?
Is it related to mispelling the names of animals?
[Brendan] Not a poem.
[Tuj] No ;-)
Is it a phobia?
[Inkspot] no.
Keeping with the mountain theme - is it associated with Kilamanjaro?
It's all right, I just get fixated from time to time.
[Dujon] Nope.
Is it a bear with a headache?
Is it a human concept?
OK, now all the standard guesses have gone, let's try something off the wall.
Is it connected with religion?
[Inkspot] Mmmmmm - no.
[Tuj] Definitely.
[Kim] No.
Is it fictional?
Is it a saying or expression?
[Raak] The source is, yes.
[Inkspot] Yes.
Is the source later than 1900?
[Raak] No.
Is it from a play?
[Inkspot] Yes.
Is it taken from a Shakespearean play?
[Chalky] Yes indeed. That narrows it down a bit then ;-)
Is it the fact that a rose, by any other name, would smell as sweet?
Does it involve Weaponry, a dagger before me for example?
Does it end well?
Does it involve Music being the food of love?
Or the winter of our discontent?
Our fate, that is written not in our stars, but in ourselves?
The Quality of Mercy?
Is the play it's taken from a tragedy?
Is it the Title of the play?
The Taming of the Shrew?
Is it from one of the histories?
Is Toby ever going to answer these questions?
Is it all the world being a stage, one man in his time playing many parts, etc.?
Isn't Toby in some other time zone? Hence the asynchronicity. (Is that a word?)
[A Non - c'mon out the closet!] FYI Toby is in Seattle USA and is hopefully enjoying a nice sleep at the moment. [GMT minus 8 hours]
Toby lives in one of the colonies and will be with us after a morning revelie and bed inspection.
I only asked. I wasn't exactly serious. [Chalky] what do you mean out of the closet? besides I've been using A Non as an avitar since Camdon Lock in '97
Much ado about nothing?
The Comedy of Errors ?
[A Non] No worries. You only asked - we only replied :-)
Is it Alls Well That Ends Well
The unkindest cut of all?
Are we such stuff as dreams are made on?
Poor Toby, he's going to have his work cut out for him....[Snodgrass] I've already asked that....
Well .... Toby will certainly have her work cut out if she's hoping to fit in a sex-change before she returns *ba-boom-tish* [sorry K - cheap shot, I know]
Toby will have its work cut out dealing with peoples comments
Is it This Too Too Solid Flesh?
Oh I dunno, Gusset, it's rather pleasant having a little natter while we're waiting. I'm sure Toby won't object.
Is it a Midsummer Night's Dream?
True, but if I can't spell my name correctly I'm in trouble
All's Well That Ends Well ?
GL]That one is definetely fictional, and a favourite.
Does it concern the quality of mercy?
I think "Guset Login" is a great name!
Hmmm. Lots and lots and lots of no's, plus one yes: Guest Login got it what was apparently hours ago with the "winter of our discontent." But it looks like you've been having fun in my absence ;-)
OK, That was unexpected. Umm... Animal
Human?
Just for the sake of originality ...
[Brenda]n yes
