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 made from more than one material?
shhhhhhhh! back in the office, eating a Mars bar
Darren-pretty much, with minor variations. Inkspot - it can be..
Off on my lunch now, so back in half an hourish.. :D
Is it a container of some kind?
Rosie - no, not really
I'm thinking of a container as in a box, bowl or similar type of thing. I wouldn't think of this as a container, as such..
Is it something one encounters in daily life?
Is it made of glass?
Huxley - yes. Inkspot - it could be, but isn't usually.
Is it related to eating or drinking?
(also bored at work on Friday afternoon and filling billable hours with online capers)
A tile?
Is it used only in the home?
If I get another could be, I'm going home early :)
Is it a toilet?
A wild thought, hehehe.
Huxley - yes. Raak - no. Inkspot - no. Darren, no... :P
Is it something you'd eat off?
A plate? A saucer?
Does it require electricity?
is it a piece of cutlery?
Is it a cup or mug?
Darren - sort of; Raak - no; Ibid - no; Huxley - Yes!; Darren - no.
But what sort of cutlery? :)
And at this point, I bow out as I dont have time to chair a round this weekend... so passing it on....
OOh! So what lucky soul is going to be next?
Or are you all TOO SCARED?!?!?!
Fish knife?
Never entirely sure about those.
nope.
Fork?
Spoon?
Ladle?
A spoon! Yes! (about bloody time..) :)
***goes wild for Darren***
WOOOH! YAY!
This is usually VEGETABLE and MINERAL and can be ANIMAL too.
Thanks all!
Something to do with clothing?
Raak - YES!
That was a quick breakthrough!
a shoe?
Jewelry?
Wol - YES. DrQ - no.
This is getting very rapid! But a little more precision is needed.
Is it worn usually by men and/or women?
Inkspot - yes.
A pair of slippers?
Inkspot - no.
A boot?
DrQ - no.
A training shoe?
Would such an item normally contain wood? ... :-)
A pair of socks?
A snowshoe?
Are they for a particular use?
eg ballet shoes
Associated with sport?
Is it a sandal?
A deck shoe?
Dujon - no. Raak - no and no. Inkspot - theoretically yes. BM - theoretically yes. Kim - no. Software - no. Bob - YES, CORRECT!!!!
I must admit it took you much less time than I anticipated! Well done Bob the dog, you're in the chair for the next round.
I got it!
Well - thank you! I really enjoyed that quick-fire round. How about another?
This next one is VEGETABLE and MINERAL.
Is this some sort of building?
Leather-lined steel manacles?
Made with, er, vegetarian leather.
Is the vegetable part wood?
Darren - no, Raak (!leather-lined steel manacles? :o) - no, and vegetable part not wood either.
The Shadow Cabinet?
At least that's what they look like to me.
Is it man-made?
DrQu+xum - No (although I smiled at the suggestion)
Darren - Yes
Is it edible?
Is it a single individual or a class of things?
Is the mineral part salt?
Darren - Yes Breadmaster - Not a yes or no answer question - but I think it is fair to say that I am thinking of a single individual item which is part of a class of things
Raak - Yes
Is it a salted peanut?
Hehehe, or a ready-salted crisp?
Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps?
A chip?
Salted cod?
We have a winner!
Raak - if only!
Ibid - No
Tuj - Cod - a vegetable?
Darren - Not crisp but YES, it was a salted peanut. Audience goes wild for Darren!!
Looks like you've regained the chair - back to you...
Thinks: Is getting it in 9 some kind of record? I shall have to be more obscure next time...
