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 ....

Phil

[Chalky] Vinyl floor? I'm afraid not.
[Cdm} Linoleum? YES, dagnammit, YES!
It's made of powdered wood or bark, linseed oil, canvas or burlap (both of which are vegetable), with some pigments (hence the traces of mineral). And in 13 hours' time I go on holiday for 2 weeks. ttfn!

CdM

Well, I stood on the shoulders of giants that time. Excellent subject choice, and a very educational round. After Phil's clue I thought it had to be lino, but I needed to google to check because I realized I had no idea what it was made of. I'll be back later today to set a new clue.
[Phil] Have a good trip!

CdM

although I suppose maybe you could argue for a vegetable component as well

This one is ANIMAL and ABSTRACT.

ImNotJohn

An anarcho-syndicalist?

Making a welcome return.

Irouléguy

Is the animal human?

CdM] Well guessed

Rosie

A metaphorical character?

E.g. Essex Man etc

CdM

But does it begin with P...?

Anarcho-syndicalist? No.
Human? No.
Metaphorical? Yes, sort of. Character? No.
