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 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.

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?

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
