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.

actually ...
DrQ - in fairness, yes. And Chalky - no.
Is it something that we can see?
Is it an idea?
... yes, I was wonderin' about your answer to the 'solely on earth' question
Is it fictional?
Chalky - no. (re 'solely on earth' - 'no' is accurate, in one way, but just not fair). Raak - er, yes.
Has it been written about?
Chalky - quite possibly, but only incidentally.
Is it used to scare small children?
Does it have a basis in a religion?
Do many people believe it exists?
Do many people believe it doesn't exist?
Do many people have no opinion either way?
Boolbar - no; Btd - no; Raak/Darren - its existence is not in doubt.
Is it singular?
Is it something we can see?
Repeating Boolbar's one that appears to have been missed unless my eyes are playing up again...
Ibid - it's collectively a single thing; and no (sorry, Boolbar!).
Is it a religion itself?
(though I suppose it could scare small children)
MF - no.
Is it something associated with living things?
Could it exist without the presence of Man?
I'm stuck already!
Is it an organisation?
Is it connected with the arts?
Darren - no, not really (I think I'm not entirely sure what you mean, actually). Inkspot - well, it's (er) fictional (see Raak above), so it needs/ed a creator. Other than that, I suppose it could. Raak - no. Chalky - YES! (Is this the breakthrough we need?) Night night all ...
Music?
Is it a particular artwork?
I think I've got it!
Is it the second violin's part in the third movement of Mendelssohn's 4th symphony?
Is this a particular painting?
Darn it; sorry, Darren - I still have not replaced my spectacles (the ones which are well past their 'use by date'. The brain is still being analysed by the experts.
Is it an opera?
Is it rock music? (abstract & mineral, hehehe)
Is it a collection of some kiind
kind, rather
Morning folks. Chalky - yes (so, Dujon - no); Darren/MF - it's collectively a single thing; CdM - do you really think I'd do that? Raak - no; Darren - no.
So is that a yes?
...like the Four Seasons or something?
MF - yes; like that, or something.
Is it European?
Has its existence been known about for more than 100 years?
Is its composer still alive?
Raak - yes; Inkspot - yes; Bm - no.
Was it composed in the eighteenth century?
German?
Vocal music?
Elgar's Enigma variations?
The Planet Suite - Gustav Holst?
Boolbar - yes! rab - yes! Raak - no. Ibid/Chalky - no (Chalky - 1910 or thereabouts, I think!) Nearly there, surely.
Beethoven?
Was it composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart?
I always get confused between German and Austrian composers.
Chalky - no. Boolbar - no.
Schubert?
Boolbar - Me too. I have a feeling that Schubert was Austrian. *wnaders off for a google*
Wagner?
Noe he was definitely deutsch.
Brahms? as in Lullaby
may as well eliminate the obvious
Handel? as in Water Musik
am I the only one guessing now?
Franz Joseph Haydn?
Canons by J. S. Bach?
Brandenberg Concerto No 3?
Something by Bach?
Something by one of the Strausses?
[Chalky] Wasn't Brahms Hungarian?
[DrQ] Definitely German - born in Hamburg. You may be thinking of the 'Brahms & Liszt' euphemism? Now Franz Liszt was Hungarian. Also, the Strausses were quite Viennese - Austrian.
Wonder where Wol's got to - leaving us all-a-dangling ....
Sorry, sorry - life impinged for loonger than it should have done this afternoon. Where are we? Chalky/Chalky/Chalkiy/Boolbar/Inkspot/rab/DrQ - no. Raak - yes! (and I'll be kind - there were some 2 or 3 dozen Bach composers spread over 7 generations; it's JS you'll be meaning, I suppose).
Is it a sonata?
Bach's Toccata & Fugue in something minor?
Well-tempered clavier? Concerto?
as above - in 'D' minor?
Re-phrasing - Toccata & Fugue in D Minor?
sorry - simulposted with the rabster and missed the alert
Is this music to be played by a single performer?
The St John Passion ?
Bach's complete works?
Raak - a bit wide!; Btd - no; Chalky/Boolbar - no; rab - YES!!!! and no ...
Bach's 48 Preludes and Fugues it is. Well done, folks - and over to rab.
Bows
Crikee, I wasn't expecting that.

Ok mine is mostly VEGETABLE and ABSTRACT.

I'm leaving the office now, so unless I log on at home tonight, don't expect any answers until tomorrow.
