mc5 - AVMA Take 2

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

Rosie

A piece of furniture?

Chalky

Would one find it in a pub?

Raak

[R] Not furniture.
[C] *a ripple of applause* Yes, one might find it in a pub.

Quendalon

Does it have a picture or pictures on it?

NotJohn

Is it a container of some sort?

Phil

Is it used for a leisure activity?

Raak

[Q] No picture.
[NJ] *applause* A container.
[P] A witty thought goes up on the laser display board. Laughter in the audience. Not used for a leisure activity.

NotJohn

Normally holds liquid?

Raak

[NJ] Can normally hold liquid.

Rosie

A barrel?

Might be my turn in it, innit?

Raak

[Rosie] *cheering* A barrel is involved. I suggest the abstract connection would repay attention.

Chalky

Is it a well-known phrase or saying .. like Roll Out The Barrel?

Raak

[Chalky] Yes! A well known phrase or saying.

Quendalon

"Over a barrel"?

Raak

[Q] Not over a barrel.

Dujon

So it's a colloquial phrase along the lines of "a can of worms"?

Rosie

Scraping the barrel?

Quendalon

Barrel of laughs?

Raak

[D] Yes.
[R] *oooooh!!* Not quite.
[Q] Not a barrel of laughs.

CdM

The bottom of the barrel?

Attempted lurker victories R us

Raak

[CdM] Yes! Rosie was nearly there, but you have nailed the exact answer! Have this recycled wooden planter. Ignore the rotten apple juice seeping out of it. And it can now be revealed that the Witty Comment on the laser display board was about the undemanding leisure activity of shooting fish in one.
