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 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
Man?
[Kim] Yes
Damn this clearly isn't as hard as I thought
Was that the answer or do we still need to narrow it down? :)
A gentleman on business from Porlock who, by interrupting Coleridge during the composition of Kubla Khan, caused the latter part of said poem to be irretrievably lost?
Though, if we believe Douglas Adams, this may well have been a Good Thing.
Alive?
[ZK] pmsl
Is he alive now? (Or at least, when you last looked, as you never know, not in this day and age)
Have I just asked that?
Goddammit! I was too busy wondering what "pmsl" means to register the question.
[ZK] No, you still need to narrow it down a lot [Brendan] What? I don't think so, but I don't understand the question [Chalky] At one time [Breadmaster] No [Chalky] Not quite
[ZK] No, you still need to narrow it down a lot
[Brendan] What? I don't think so, but I don't understand the question
[Chalky] At one time
[Breadmaster] No
[Chalky] Not quite

darn it

Was he born after 1800?
[GL] If I was right, you'd have known, so not to worry. The short version is that Coleridge woke up from a drugged-up dream with Kubla Khan complete in his head (or so he claimed), and proceeded to write it down. But then he was interrupted by this guy who came visiting from Porlock on business, and when he sat back down to it he'd forgotten the rest, hence the poem is incomplete.
A sportsman?
An artistic or literary person?
Alan Rickman?
Take that Polonius!
Did he die in the last 50 years?
Alan Rickman isn't dead!
[Brendan] Yes [Inkspot] No [Raak] Not that I'm aware of [Tuj] He's still alive isn't he? [snorgle] No
Did he die in the 20th century?
[Chalky] No
Jack the Ripper?
[Inkspot] No
A political figure (including royalty or the Pope)?
[Raak] No
Is he British?
Brunel?
[Inkspot] Yes
[Raak] Yes
What an anti-climax!

Ok, the next is MINERAL, with ANIMAL and VEGETABLE connections.

A stainless steel kitchen knife?
A little bit knee trembling foreplay then straight down business.
Is it made of metal?
Sorry it was an anti-climax, I hadn't expected to be setting one so soon
[Inkspot] No.
[GL] You wouldn't really think of it as something metal, but metal is involved.
If not metal would it be thought of as being made of plastic?
Would I (or anyone else living in the country) find it on a farm?
Did it exist before 1800?
