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.

snorgle - no. Bob - no. Chalky - yes. rab - no. Boolbar - no.
Is this character 'voiced' by an actor/comedian?
... meaning - is this a comic creation?
Alan Partridge?
Does this character speak in the English language?
Does this character 'live' in England?
Samantha?
Probably down in the archives this very moment.
Inkspot - Is Samantha a man? I may find out later - am off to Winchester to see Humph, Barry, Graeme, Tim et al.
Is the character still on the radio?
Forget my last guess
Must remember to pay attention, male has already been established by Btd
Chalky - (1) yes (2) no. Bob - yes. Boolbar - yes. Inkspot - (1) no, (2) no.
A Hollywood movie?
Chalky] If you see Samantha - you will be the first! But I am very jealous of your trip to Winchester! I saw ISIHAC at the RSC here in Stratford with Willy R - and my sides still ache just thinking about it.
Are you sure his appearance was less than twenty years ago?
:-)
Is this character still on TV?
Not including repeats.
Bob - no. CdM - 99.9% sure, yes. Boolbar - well, he's supposed to be making a new appearance, but then again you can never tell these days. But I'll say YES in this case.
[Darren] Now that should ring a bell - but it doesn't.
The Doctor?
I guess he's not human, but I'll throw him in anyway..
Ken?
Manager and next-door neighbour to John Shuttleworth?
In that case, is it John Shuttleworth?
David Brent?
Winchester...
Chalky] Winchester as in Hampshire, England? I live not more than 20 miles from there! Have I missed it?
As we speak...
Zounds! They really don't publicise these things, do they?
Or am I just not alert?
Anything to do with Monty Python or related personae?
Better take a proper stance...
Alf Garnet
Silly Moo
snorgle - no. Boolbar - no. Bob - no. Tuj - no. plump - no. Raak - YESSSS!!!!
Raak is CORRECT!!!! Raak is the next chairhostpersonman.

AUDIENCE GOES WILD!


Woohoo for Raaaaaak
Well done Raak - s'about time you had a crack at being in the chair.
[Darren] Was David Brent really on the radio at first?? If he was, I certainly missed a trick - that's why I didn't offer him as a guess.
[Tuj] Re ISIHAC I'll transfer to the Banter Game with my reply.
[Chalky] Well, I don't think he had that name. I was going by my recollections of the documentary on the Office series 1 DVD, where they mentioned Ricky Gervais was working as a DJ and had a character called "Seedy Boss" or something, which Stephen Merchant made a short film about which became the precursor of episode 1. Of course, I might have got that all screwy in my head.
(that's a radio DJ I mean)
Showing Ignorance
Who on Earth is David Brent? I suppose I could google, but couldn't be bothered. ... :-(
Personalities
I suppose that I should post this elsewhere but, whilst we await the ghost of Raak to appear: Being resident of territory outside the U.K. things can, and do, become difficult at times. Take Celebdaq; I try hard (sniggers) but honestly do not know 90% of the names which appear on the various lists! Sigh! Still, maybe it is not such a disadvantage? Whilst any refugee from MWP will now proceed to howl me down, I partake in a 'football' league which concentrates on the EPL. After the first month, guess who led the pack! All right, sorry; I shall now sink back into anonymity ... ;-)
Even more ignorance
Dujon] I am a UK resident and I don't know who David Brent is either...
This is MINERAL and ABSTRACT.
For those not yet on the same page, David Brent is the principal character of the award-winning sitcom "The Office", and is played by Ricky Gervais. I've only seen one or two episodes, but it is truly excellent. I didn't know it began as a radio show though.
Is it fictional/mytical/...?
