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.

Was he involved in politics?
[Darren] No
John Wilkes Booth?
or maybe not, given the way he died ...
[Brendan] No not John Wilkes Booth.
Summarising: White male, American but not "American Indian", died violently before 1900, born around 1850, not political but (clue) fame has serious political aspect.
Lets go from here.
Was he a civil rights campaigner?
[Inkspot] No
Was he shot by firing squad?
Did he fight in teh american Civil War?
[Inkspot] No [Gusset] No
Was he executed?
[all] Yes
Was he electrocuted?
[Inkspot] Yes
William Kemmler?
[all] YES
Well done, the first electicutee in 1890. An axe murderer who killed his lover Matilda Ziegler (theres and actress with that name - in Mr Bean I think) in 1889. Sketchy records about him but it was a botched execution. They fried him twice. Mmmm Nice.

So when the applause dies down its over to you [all]
Thank you, Snodgrass
OK this one is an ABSTRACT with MINERAL connections.
Does is appear in a work of fiction?
all] *cheers ans clapping* Congrats on another good win.
[Inkspot] It would be inaccurate to say 'No', but misleading to say 'Yes'.
Is this an area of the Earth's surface (ie. a country, region, ocean, etc.)?
[Darren] No
Is it something represented in sculpture?
Rock music?
Is it connected to the word "Antarctica"?
Can it be percieved by any of the senses?
The pot of gold at the end of a rainbow?
Just popping in with my occasional and totally selfish wild guess.
Is it man-made?
Money?
Is the mineral connection an element of the same?
make that "...of the name"?
Sorry to ask two questions but it's been a while.
[Brendan] Not to my knowledge, but you never know with some artists
[Darren] No
[Tuj] No
[Inkspot] Not really, though it's causes often are.
[Dujon] No
[Breadmaster] One of the mineral connections is.
[Raak] No
[Darren] Yes, And don't worry about asking multiple question, especially over the weekend.
Is the mineral, which is a part of the name of the item, a solid?
[Snodgrass] One of them is, one of them isn't
Is it a phrase or saying?
Is there a maritime connection?
[GL] Yes
[BM] Not as far as I'm aware
Does it have a religious connection?
[Inkspot] No
A bottle/can (depends where you come from) of elbow grease?
"Like chalk and cheese"?
Salt of the earth?
Thinking that only one thing is solid how about a Bucket of Steam?
Getting blood out of a stone?
Is the non-solid mineral part of the name, a liquid?
[Snodgrass] No
[BIGSmith] No
[Raak] No
[Darren] No
[Darren] In part
Is the solid part stone?
Or is the solid a Metal?
and is it Edible?
[Inkspot] I assume you mean natural stone. No.
[Snodgrass] No
[Snodgrass Clone] No, but it is assosiated with something edible

Summary: A phrase or saying, that uses the names of two mineral items, one solid, one partially liquid. One man-made. Not linked to Antarctica, nor religion.
A glass of some cocktail, Vodka Martini (shaken not stirred) with Ice for example?
[Snodgrass] No
Is the partially liquid thing a viscous substance?
[Snodgrass] No
A gaseous or vaporous form of a liquid?
[Snodgrass] The part of the non-solid mineral item that is not liquid is a gaseous or vaporous form of the liquid.
The boiling point of water?
Does this object have a medical purpose?
[Inkspot] 100 degrees Centigrade, which has nothing to do with this.
[Snodgrass] I can think of no medical use for it.
A quantity of mud which, when thrown at a wall, will leave some still adhering?
[Raak] In what way is that an Abstract. And what kind of mud do you get 'round there? All the mud I've seen is viscous rather than gaseous or vaporous.
Are the solid, liquid, and vaporous parts, different states of the same substance?
Is it a phrase to decribe a change in state?
[Raak] The solid part is a different substance. The vaporous and liquid parts are different states of the same substance.
[Inkspot] No.
Is the man made object a building or structure?
Is the solid part artificial stone, such as concrete?
[Inkspot] No.
[Darren] Yes

I will probably be away from Thursday to Tuesday. Therefore I will now provide a number of broad hints:
1 The liquid is water, but not refered to as water
2 The solid is found in most kitchens in the UK
3 Remember this is a phrase or saying that includes the names of the two items.
