mc5 - Animal-Vegetable-Mineral-Abstract: The Pants Memorial Game

[GL] No, its 2

Is it an anthropomorphism?

[Inkspot] Not exactly but the answer may display some characteristics of this. I hope that is not mis-leading. There are better descriptions.

Software

cognative thought?

Assuming that animals can't have them?

[Software] Warm! but No

day dreaming?

[Inkspot] No, colder

Is it something the brain does?

clumsy question!

deja vu?

Have I already asked that earlier? or was that a different game?

Tuj

Deja vu

I'm sure I saw you ask that... (joke) Is it a quaint old turn of phrase?

[Inkspot] No, well not exactly
[Inkspot revisited] No
[Tuj] No (I've had deja vu before you know)

Software

Self-awareness?

[Software] No, but its that kind of expression.

Does it refer to the first person singular?

[Inkspot] I would say not!

Racial Memory

?

[all] No
Time for a clue?

Is it fictional?

Clue...oh yes please!

Intelligent Life?

Actually that wouldn't apply to humans either.

[Inkspot] In its context it may be thought of as fictional but not in a literary way.
[GL] No but you are so close I'm going to hold off on a clue save to say oxymoron.

Military Intelligence?

[Gusset Login] Y E S . Gusset Login has correctly guessed that the answer was Military Inteligence.

So when the frantic applause dies down its over to Gusset to entertain us with another conundrum!

Lineman

Gusset Login
OK, time for a MINERAL

Time Warning

I will be leaving for the weekend in about an hour. Any questions not posted before then will be dealt with on Monday.

Breadmaster

Is it man-made?

Is it a geographical feature?

Good to see that the classic openings are still popular.

Stone?

plump

smaller than a shoe box?

Made of metal?

Is it a building?

[Bread] Yes
[Kim] Not usually, almost never in fact
[Snod] No
[plump] No
[Inks] Partly
[Raak] Most people would not count them as such

Is it bigger than a phonebox?

Does it run on electrical power?

Is it a cave?

[all] No
[Ink] Electrical power is involved, but it would most likely still function without an external power supply
[Kim] No

Is it actually a phone box?

[Snodgrass] OK that clearly wasn't as hard as I'd hoped, either that or people just knew which questions to ask.

SNODGRASS WINS

Audience

*Shouts, screams and generally goes wild for Snodgrass*

Oh, B****r, that was a pure guess, so thanks to [all] for the assist.

OK. So its thinking time again and the next item
ABSTRACT with Animal, Vegetable and Mineral influences

Is it the title of a piece of music?

stunning win snodgrass

[Inkspot] Why thank you - lucky guess really.
No. Not a misical piece, let me guess - were you thinking of The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy?

Is it the title of a piece of fiction?

[Snodgrass]Guess, perhaps, but still impressive.

[all] I owe it all to your previous question. No not fiction.

Is it a popular phrase or saying?

all has just confessed that he saw me write down the answer. (cheating little git)

[all] Shame on you !
[GL] Not popular, (as in Nice to se you, to see you Nice!) but I suppose it is a well known. phrase

Is it the Abominable Snowman?

[Kim] No. And unless he has a carrot for a nose I couldnt see a vegetable reference!

Life, the Universe, and Everything?

42?

[Raak] No, more Earthly than that
[all] No, too many

8?

[Tuj] No. Not 8. !?!

Less than 10?

[all] Assuming there is a numeric component, which you all seem to be, then Yes, it is less than 10 (in a One Flew Over The Cookoos Nest kind of way)

Is there a numeric component?

Given that you said 42 was too many it's safe to assume there is

[GL] Yes and may I refer the Honorable Gusset to the answer I gave a few moments ago (to all)

Is the numeric component larger than one?

Your response to the Dishonorable all stated that it was an assumption, I wished to have the point clarrified

[GL] No, and to save everyone a question it is not less than one either! Therefore .........
I assume that you and all are still not talking then!?

Is it a title of a book?

Is the animal refered to a person?

[Inkspot the first] There are books using this in the title but my thought is the phrase. The book is incidental.
[Inkspot the second] It would be a person having influence here but is not referred to in the phrase.

Is the vegetable a carrot?

[all] Nope - Vegetation is loosly involved not vegetables. Similarly loosly involved are the mineral and animal influences.

How green is my valley?

[Inkspot] I have no idea. I've never seen it. What sort of a chap do you think I am? No

Is there a reference to a country in the phrase?

[all] No

An House in the Country?

[all] No but I like your direction.

A walk in the park?

[Inkspot] Getting closer, but alas, No.
The right relationship between the abstract and the physical though.

Sex in the City?

[all] Now thats not abstract is it? Or is it? No, nothing like it (although there are certain.....)

Phahad

The apple of my eye?

Tuj

Does it include the word "one's"?

[Phahad] Greetings and No. Sorry
[Tuj] No, not "one's" but almost! OK I'm in a mellow mood. It contains the word "one"

As I walked Out One Midsummer Morning?

A room of one's own?

[Inkspot] No
[Raak] No

Does the phrase contain an action?

[Inkspot] Not contain, as in "dance" etc but the phrase is synonymous with an action.

One foot in the grave?

[all] No but I see some common ground!

Is it associated with a particular pert of the day?

[Inkspot] No. Time is not important - but its not likely to happen in the dark!

One light in the darkness?

[all] No
Clue. 4 words, 10 letters, 3 spaces. Happens Outside.

A hole in one?

[all] Yes Yes thrice Yes
all wins with a slash of a seven iron. I didn't think it would be that hard.
Well done [all] and over to you.....
