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 ....

CdM

Connected to some specific Christmas tradition?

ImNotJohn

Does it describe a period of time?

Projoy

[CdM] Specific Tradition? YES
[INJ] Period of time? YES *applause

Phil

New Year's Day?

Gusset Login

Christmas Day?

ImNotJohn

Boxing Day

To complete the set

Projoy

INJ has it! Whereas the other two are Xtian (in general) dates, Boxing Day is more a Commonwealth affair. Over to INJ. *hands box-shaped baton to INJ*

Line-Tamer

ImNotJohn

Pausing only to take the ribbon and bow off the baton

OK then, this one is Animal or Vegetable (with Abstract connections)

Raak

A musical instrument?

ImNotJohn

[Raak] Instrumental? - NO

Tuj

Is it edible?

ImNotJohn

[Tuj] Food, glorious food? - NO

Projoy

Manufactured?

Chalky

As you state Animal OR Vegetable - is this an either/or - or can it be both?

[and thanks INJ for welcome back. I am healing - slowly but shurely :)]

ImNotJohn

[Projoy] Manufactured - YES
[Chalky] Animal/Vegetable? - Either/Or is probably the most helpful, but in both cases that would be predominantly, rather than entirely.

Chalky

Is it found indoors?

Rosie

If animal, then a specific part of an animal?

ImNotJohn

[Chalky] Indoors? - YES
[Rosie] Specific part of an animal? - YES (at least for the predominant part)
Thinking about my answer to Chalky, the 'predominantly' bit, although true, is probably not helpful. From now on I will ignore the minor elements in my answers unless specifically asked.
