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.

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

*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.....)
The apple of my eye?
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.....
Thank you
