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.

Pierre Trudeau?
Snorgle - No. DrQ - No. Rosie - No.
snorgle's summary above is OK - but don't be misled by the 'entertaining' part - I refer to my comments to BtD further back.
Raak - I think we eliminated 'politician' earlier , so No
Was he black?
We're getting there!
Breadmaster - No.
A scientist?
Or an artist? (of the non-entertaining kind)
Darren - No. Artist [as in painter?] No.
A sportsman?
Raak - " I refer the honourable member to my previous reply ..."
**brief recap**
So a dead, somewhat entertaining gentleman of Canadian parentage who wasn't a sportsman, scientist, artist, or politican. He lived in the 20th Century but died more than 20 years ago.
Lenny Bruce?
"I'm sorry if I'm not very funny tonight, but I'm not a comedian, I'm Lenny Bruce."
DrQ - No.
Recap fine, but forget the 'entertaining' part of it - that was more of an 'aside'.
It's why I suggested Lenny Bruce.
Was he the bloke who wrote the Kinsey Report, i.e. Kinsey?
Was he a published writer at all?
Rosie - No. Darren - YES!
At last - a breakthrough. Bring on the literati . . .
Ernest Hemingway?
Uh-oh...
I would check if he had Canadian parentage, but then that'd kinda take the fun out of it a bit. Plus, I think I'd make a mad chair.
Of course, I did mean bad chair. And no I wasn't talking about carpentry.
Is he best known as a writer of fiction?
Is he on this list?
Tuj - No. Inkspot - Yes ... but. Raak - ahem.
Inkspot - His work is considered somewhere between fiction and non-fiction.
Raak - He was American, but of Canadian extraction, so he may or may not be on your list.
Was he a columnist for a newspaper?
The output of some political sketch writers blurr the line between fact and fiction.
Inkspot - No ... but
...I'm sure he wrote magazine articles from time to time as a sideline.
Mark Twain?
Who's got a scanner? TWAIN = Thing Without An Interesting Name, so I'm told. :-)
Was he best known as an essayist?
That is, as opposed to a novelist. Knowing what you have on your bookshelves I leave the poetry until later.... :-)
Edgar Allen Poe?
His parents were travelling actors, but I dunno if they were Canadian...
Jack Kerouac?
He had French-Canadian parents.
Died in the first half of last century?
Rosie - No. Dujon - not really. Bob the dog - No.
.... but ... wait for it ... *drum roll*
Darren - YES! YES YES YES!!
Well done, me old mate - here's the man ... if anyone's interested.
Underlining Darren's victoreeeee
Crikey
*General applouse for Darren*
