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.

[Inkspot] Yes, but with an abstract slant to it.
The Man in the Moon?
Was the person referred to an author or poet?
[Bigsmith] No but you have the right kind of idea
[Inkspot] No
St. Peter at the Pearly Gates?
Confused!So the person is ficticious and the place real, I thought it were the other round, ho hum.
[Inkspot] Not St Paul and not the Pearly Gates
We are looking for a place, which exists but is itself abstract, and references a persons name in the way, say, The Heights of Abraham or Jacobs Ladder does. The person may well have been real but there is no certainty of that. There is also a mineral reference. How go to it!
Is the person a saint?
Was he a King?
Arthur's Camelot?
[Brendan] No, far from it
[Inkspot] No
[Inkspot Encore} No but thats the kind of phrasing we are looking for
The minerals may help. (a clue there) The name may have been a real person but we are not sure. There is a folklore component here.
Is there a mythological connection?
[Golfer] Yes. Mythology is key here!
Is water significant?
[Golfer] Yes. Very
Is it the Giant's Causeway?
[Darren] No.
Davey Jones's Locker?
[Inkspot] YES, a quite inspired deduction.

INKSPOT WINS

Davy Jones Locker, the sailors name for the sea bed, the place where drowned sailors go. Named possibly after a 16th century innkeeper who had a locker in which he kept his drink, or possibly a derivation of Jonah, possibly of the Whale persuasion. It exists all over the world but not any place in particular, but its not a place you'd probably want to visit, Unless you are Jacques Cousteau that is.

Well its over ti Inkspot to take over the chair just as soon as the applause dies down.
