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.

Is it Stonehenge?
I am starting to think this is much better as a spectator sport....
Darren - no. Raak - no. Inkspot - YES... Kim - no.
I think Inkspot's got it.
Is it the Giant's Causeway?
DARREN IS CORRECT!
Sorry Inkspot....Darren gets the chair.
Thanks DrQ. OK, this new thing is ABSTRACT.
...and, unlike on Pants, I shall be continuing with this until someone gets it. ;)
Is this a construct of the mind rather than a physical action/reaction?
Meaning; is it more like time/space/imagination rather than itch/sigh/dodge? If that's too broad, just say so, Darren.
Is it real or fictional?
Not sure how to play abstract yet...
Dujon - it's more a physical action, but arguably it's a construct of the mind too. Bob - it's real.
Is it a crime?
Goddamit, well done Darren!
Is it an everyday occurence?
BtD] With a straight bat, I guess...
A phenomenon?
Have just realised that one can't 'submit' without having a 'stance'. Ah well, who needs an excuse to twitter inconsequentially - not I!
Is it done solely by humans?
[Chalky] You can put   in "stance" to make it blank.
Breadmaster - no. Tuj - not usually. Chalky - no. DrQ - yes.
Or you can do what I do - type <b> </b> when you don't want to say anything. Chalky - almost anything could be called a phenomenon of some sort, of course, but in this case, you wouldn't really call it one.
Does it have anything to do with Mornington Crescent?
Are most humans likely to have done this?
Is it legal in the UK?
Proud as a goat.
Raak - yes and no. Breadmaster - yes. snorgle - yes.
For Raak's question, I can't really be more precise without either being misleading or giving too much away.
I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue.
 
Is it broadcast?
Jolly as a kipper
Is it inappropriate to do this in public, or with others present?
Glum as a bison.
Think of a MC move?
Hi Rosie!
Does it have anything to do with pilgrimages?
Apathetic as a flamingo
Is it a form of travelling?
Gyrating as a tuatara
DrQ - no. Chalky - it has been, but it's not usually. Rosie - no. snorgle - no. LotUS - no. Breadmaster - in a way.
Waiting for a train?
Would most children be able to do it?
To recap:
It's a physical action.
It's real.
It's legal.
It is not normally done every day.
Not a phenomenon.
Done solely by humans.
It has an unclear relationship with Mornington Crescent.
Most people have done it.
It is not I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue.
It has sometimes been broadcast but isn't usually.
It can be done in public.
It is not a MC move.
Nothing to do with pilgrimages.
It is a sort of travelling.
Is it humourous?
...in your opinion, I suppose
Raak - no. Breadmaster - yes. Tuj - often is.
Breadmaster's looking in vaguely the right direction here.
Playing conkers?
Although they all fell early, I almost got hit on the head by one a fortnight ago, as I looked up, wondering what the rustling noise was..
Is it a game?
Smug as a lobster.
Orienteeering?
(e)
Going on a pub crawl?
Dancing of some kind?
(Chalky) Ahhhh! Lobsters! Beware, Thrax and I are at large.
Is it done in the home?
Could someone clarify as to what a construction of the mind is following Darren earlier answer "it's a construct of the mind too".
