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 ....

Raak

Is the mineral part the container in which it is served?

rab

Is it some kind of stew?

Inkspot

Is the animal a bird?

CdM

Mineral part = container? Yes. *applause*
Some kind of stew? No.
Animal = bird? No.
Clarification: my answer to "drink?" might have been unintentionally misleading. The answer is not exactly a drink, but it is not incorrect to think in terms of things that are. If you see what I mean. It always amazes me how hard it can sometimes be to answer even the simplest questions in this game.

irach

Is it a canned item?

rab

Is the alcoholic part a spirit?

CdM

Canned item? No.
Spirit? Yes.

Raak

Irish coffee?

rab

Is it always the same spirit? (And if so, is it vodka?)

*wonders what kind of animal Raak takes in his coffee*

irach

Is the animal component milk or milk-based?

Inkspot

Is the vegetable a fruit?

CdM

Always the same spirit? Yes.
Vodka? No.
Animal = milk? No.
Vegetable = fruit? No.

irach

Is the spirit brandy?

CdM

Brandy? No.

Raak

Mezcal (the Mexican spirit with a worm in the bottle)?

CdM

And a massive leap to victory by Raak. The words on the card were "A bottle of Mezcal containing a worm", but I had previously decided that I would award victory as long as the words "mezcal", "bottle", and "worm" all appeared.
*hands a small, wriggling, inebriated baton to Raak*

Raak

Apparently the worm in the bottle was invented in 1950 by one Jacobo Lozano Paez as a marketing ploy for stupid gringo tourists.

The next is MINERAL and ABSTRACT.

Projoy

Glass houses pierced by stones?

Raak

[Projoy] No, but you have the right general idea.
