Quendalon must be right. I trust he/she has a pornograph.

[Quendalon] Indeed, YES!. Lady C and John Thomas it is.

[Projoy] What was the vegetable connection? Is there a notorious scene set in the kitchen garden, involving provocatively-shaped parsnips?

[Raak] Lady Chatterley's Lover is a novel, thus printed on paper.

(well, until recent digital innovations)

Incidentally, I'd never noticed before that the prosecution's "wife or servants" remark, although it certainly was out of touch, is a rhetorical way of activating the jealousy of rich husbands. Don't put ideas in their heads, it suggests, or you too may be cuckolded. Had always assumed before now it was just a general appeal to protect the weak-minded from moral corruption.

[Projoy] I was going to guess LC'sL, but the wry smiles at the Sci-fi question put me off...

[Phil] They were just the more imaginative members of the audience picturing the whole thing done in foil suits on a flying saucer.

For your pleasure: ABSTRACT

[Projoy] Human construct? YES.

[Projoy] I think I've seen that website ;-)

[Projoy] You know, there is such a thing as being too imaginative.

[Phil] A philosophy? NO.
[Darren] Related to science? NO.

[Darren] Connected with emotion? YES. (laughter from the audience)
[ImNotJohn] Related to the arts? YES. (more laughter)

[Darren] It least it was foil not fur ;-)

[Phil] An emotion? NO.

[Raak] A type of comedy? NO.

[Inkspot] An action? NO.

[Projoy] Connected with positive emotions? YES. (another giggle from the audience)

Going by the giggles and titters.

[Darren] Connected with sex? NO. (The audience is giggling because the last three YES answers, while technically correct, are all somewhat misleading. It's not a nice audience.)
[Projoy] Connected with fetishes? In the supernatural (not sexual) sense, YES.

[Raak] To do with religion? NO, not really.
[Irouléguy] Specific to a particular culture? In its original incarnation, YES; in its modern incarnation, NO.
[Rosie] Worship of some unusual object or event? NO.

To clarify things a bit: the ABSTRACT in question experienced a shift in use and meaning over time. The connection with emotion and the supernatural apply only to the original version, not the current one.

(Next time I choose an object for AVMA, it'll be something simple like a tomato.)

[Chalky] Feng Shui? NO.
