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.

[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?
Is it the Welsh Dragon?
Standing.
Chalky - No. LotUs - No. Software - Nice guess, but no. Raak - No.
Concentrate on the Abstract. The Animal connection is just a help. BTW this is very early for me; it's 11.30 am. Back in a couple of hours. :-)
An event?
 
Is it solid?
one o' clock time for lunch
Is it a genus, species, or other taxonomic division?
Gil and Raak: Both No. Inkspot: Can't be - it's abstract!
(Snorgle) Apologies. I missed your contribution. Can't think why but there you go. But the answer is no. :-)
Can it be heard?
you'll be telling me next that Welsh Dragons don't exist.
Is it something you can do?
Is it musical?
Rosie]the previous 'abstract' musical chairs has requires several solid objects and corporeal bodies, I was attempting to discern whether your object has a physical presence, in the same way as a smile:)
Is it an EMOTION?
A mares nest?
Are we looking for some kind of mental picture?
Inkspot - No. Darren - No. Bigsmith - No. Chalky - NO!. Software - No.
(Inkspot)It requires the presence of an "animal", i.e. the broad definition, for this abstraction to be manifested.
Sounds like a Pigs Ear to me...
Software - Another good'un, squire, but like Thames Trains, you're on the wrong track.
Allergies.
Although it has vegetable connections as well....
Is it some sort of mythical beast?
... as a ...
Is it a human condition?
Is it ENTERTAINING?
Dr Q - No. Tuj - No. Kim - Yes, sort of. Chalky - No. Mildly interesting to the observant, perhaps.
Would this normally be considered to be 'indelicate' in polite company?
Bringing down the level of decorum.
Is it (a) thought?
Not sure if this doesn't actually qualify under one of Darren's earlier questions.
RECAP:
It is NOT a mythical being
It is NOT an action
It is NOT the Cheshire Cat
It is NOT a symbol or emblem
It is NOT a Welsh dragon
It is NOT an event
It is NOT solid
It CANNOT be heard
It is NOT musical
It is NOT something you can do
It is NOT an emotion
It is NOT a mare's nest
It is NOT a pig's ear
It is NOT an allergy
It is NOT a mythical beast
It is NOT REALLY entertaining

It IS ... sort of ... a human condition

Is it something than can affect EVERYONE?
Trying to narrow down the options
Poor? Rich? Hungry? Thirsty?
 
Is it something most of us have encountered/experienced/had?
This is a tricky one.
Sorry Chalky - overlapped with your question there, somehow didn't spot it.
Dujon - No. Lotus - No. Chalky - No. gil - No. Breadmaster - Yes/No/No.
Anthromorphism?
Wild guessing.
Is the animal aspect merely corroborative?
Boolbar - No. Kim - No, it's fundamental
This is a property/feature/characteristic of some humans. Logically it should also apply to some animals but I'm not sure how well documented this is.
Would it have a negative impact on those who've ENCOUNTERED it?
[BM] No worries. At least you got a positive reply.
A dark horse?
Assuming not the one I backed in the 2:00 at Lingfield
Is it some kind of mental phenomenon?
[Chalky] Not necessarily a helpful one though...
Is it done with other?
Up a gum tree without a clue at the moment
