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.

Is it from a book?

[snorgle] I've made mistakes with these things before, but are you sure Central Park contains a forest? and is fictional?

Breadmaster

Is it an old oak tree with a yellow ribbon tied around it?

[GL] I don't think the Hanging Gardens were fictional either, although not much is known about them.

Gusset Login

[BM] There's no proof that it ever existed apart from a book written by someone who never went within a hundred miles of the area it was rumoured to be. But I take your point

Inkspot

Was the book written after 1900?

Snodgrass

Nottingham Forest?

I know Sherwood was mentioned earlier but Notts Forest are a fictional entity, ie they are alledged to be footballers - but nice people all the same who always invite me to their end of season party in January each year.

[Gusset] No.
[snorgle] Alas, too real.
[all]Erm. The work in question is commonly found in books but it is not a book per se. Does that make sense?
[Breadmaster] No.
[Inkspot] No (bearing in mind the above caveats about the phrase "the book").
[Snodgrass] LOL. No.

Brendan

PS [Snodgrass] Are you also alleging that all the players are vegetables? ;)
