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 ....

Bismarck

Remind me never to run a relay with Raak, won't you :-)

Raak

Oh, ah. Um. The next is ANIMAL and ABSTRACT.

Tuj

Snoopy's friend Woodstock?

Raak

Not Woodstock.

Rosie

A wildlife programme?

Tuj

Does it begin with P?

Raak

[Rosie] Not a wildlife programme.
[Tuj] Does not begin with P. (slight oohing sounds from audience)

Knobbly

Is the animal non-human?

Raak

(Some laughter) Not non-human.

Boolbar

Is the non-non-human not male?

Gusset Login

Is the non-non-human principally famous for literary appearances?

Raak

[B] Might or might not be male.
[G] Not literary appearances, no.

Rosie

Does the Abstract refer to the title or role of the non-non-human of indeterminate sex?

Tuj

Be there a sporting connection?

Raak

[R] (polite applause) Yes, the Abstract has to do with the title or role (but there is more to the Abstractness than that).
[T] No sporting connection.

Boolbar

Was this known of in the year 1900?

Raak

Was this known of in the year 1900? One could take different interpretations, about which I can imagine philosophers of language debating endlessly. I shall interpret the words on the card as implying the answer: Yes.

Tuj

Would you expect to find this mentioned in a book of World Records?

Raak

[Tuj] Would not be mentioned in a book of World Records.
