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.

bugger
ignore that last one - missed the "man made" clue
eh?
I'm off to lie down.
Is it the earth's core?
I do not usually enjoy ironing.
Is it in a national park?
Big Dave] have a cup of tea I'll put the kettles on .
Rock of Gibraltar?
Wworth a punt.
Raak - No. Breadmaster - Sorta. Software - No. Bob - No. Inkspot - Don't know, I'll check. Chalky - No.
I should say --- don't focus much on the metallic.
CORRECTION: Raak - Yes.
Ooh, partial giveaway.
Is it an island?
Intrigued by it's being "sorta" a hill or mountain...
BM - No.
I'll say it's a hill, let's put it that way.
Is it actually on land (ie, or in the sea)?
*light bulb* has idea!
Angus - Yes.
 
Does it have some sort of spiritual or mystical significance? (e.g. a burial mound, etc.)
Is it the Sutton Hoo burial mound?
I should wait for Darren's question to be answered, but as I'm here... BTW, are we keeping score by the number of questins it takes?
Is it in the Emerald Isle?
Trying to clear up location after your first rejection of Raak asking about 'in the UK'
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".
snorgle - no. Chalky - YES. Raak - (1)no,(2)no. Rosie - to a point. Inkspot - sometimes.
[Inkspot] I just took it to mean something which has been constructed or formulated by the human mind.
...and naturally, all games fall into that category.
Monopoly?
Brain hurts...
Is it a type of race (in the sporting sense)?
Is it "Twister"?
Charades?
Is it "Scrabble"?
<thinks> If not this then... </thinks>
Pop Idol?
A stab in the dark...
Musical chairs?
Or sunnink.
"Give Us A Clue?"
Not . . . you have to give us a clue, Darren, but the Lionel/Una show.
Is it a team game?
And to think Wales is seeded above England in the Rugby World Cup!! mmmm sounds right to me
Rosie - CORRECT.
Rosie got it! I thought it would take you longer! So anyway, Rosie is now in the chair for the next game.
Applause
Well done Rosie!
I have one in mind... Start asking....
It's Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, any combination thereof, or Abstract by itself. The answer is two words - the indefinite article and a noun.
Oops... sorry, Rosie, I hadn't realised the winner gets to go. I withdraw.
Awww! gil! You had a special one all thought up!
Mornington Chairs
[Darren] What's the unclear relationship between musical chairs and Mornington Crescent?
Musical Mornington
Raak] Perhaps Darren is unaware of the last time Musical Mornington Chairs was played, back in the late 1970's, when it was played by some very enthusiatic Chelsea football supporters on there way back from another local London village derby.
Unfortunately the most important part of the ie getting rid of a seat at each station was miss interpereted by the London Transport Police as wanton vandalism.
As a result, this unfortunate event is usually glossed over and not normally discussed in polite company.
[Raak] I thought they did play musical chairs on ISIHAC once, or did I imagine that?
This next object is ABSTRACT with Animal connections
(Inkspot) Supported the Blues since 1956. Don't go these days - prices are absurd and you can't even stand up.
Is it a mythical being?
Eager as a salamander.
Is it an action?
[Darren] I thought you were obliquely referring to/associating it with Humph as a 'musical chair[man]' of MC.
The Cheshire Cat?
Is it a symbol or emblem, e.g. the Austrian two-headed eagle?
