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 ....

Projoy

[ISP] We know it is. :) You already told us it's larger than a toaster :)

Projoy

An example of a craft?

*quietly points out that, etymologically at least, the word "manufactured" means "hand-made"**

I Say, Porter!

[Pj] Crafted? YES.
[Man-u-facture] Pardon me for using dictionaries to look up definitions. It won't happen again.

Uncle Korky

Is it light enough to be carried?

I Say, Porter!

[UK] Portable? YES but unhelpful I expect. Not my first unhelpful answer, either.

Tuj

A household item?

...however you wish to interpret that.

I Say, Porter!

[Tuj] One in every home? NO

Tuj

Does it belong outside?

Irouléguy

Is the particular country/culture European?

Projoy

Metal all the way through?

I Say, Porter!

[Tuj] Out of doors? YES audience applause
[Irouléguy] Europe to something? YES indeed

Red in colour?

[Pj] NOT street furniture.
[Irg] NOT used in sport
[Lib] Red? NOT AS SUCH.

CdM

A sculpture?

I Say, Porter!

[CdM] Sculpted? YES audience goes wild. I still maintain that it is not ars gratia artis as such.

CdM

Does it have a purpose beyond aesthetics?

(particularly since you claim it is not beautiful)

I Say, Porter!

[CdM] Purpose? YES it does indeed. (particularly since I think it's just a gimmicky piece of tat)
