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 ....

Anything to do with linguistics?

CdM

Linguisticky? No.

CdM

(I don't think this one is inherently terribly difficult. It's just no one has yet come up with a question that unlocks it in any real way. And no, that's not a clue.)

Any connection with politics /public affairs?

CdM

Connection with politics? No. (Actually, the figurative meaning that I alluded to earlier is associated with a particular public policy question/debate, but as I said, I really can't imagine that will help you.)

Can this be used to help people in everyday life?

CdM

Rosie

Any connection with economics?

CdM

Connected to economics? No.

Is it lickable wallpaper?

CdM

Lickable wallpaper? Nope. Not abstract enough.
When I was originally thinking of setting this I wanted to describe it simply as "this has animal, vegetable and mineral connections". Then I descided that it was still technically abstract.

Is colour involved?

CdM

Colour? No.

Is the food a dessert?

CdM

Progress!

Dessert? Not usually a dessert as such, but (almost always) sweet rather than savoury.

FGZstar

Food Pills?

ImNotJohn

Cake?

CdM

Food pills? No.
Cake? No (but a *smattering of applause*)

Rosie

A sweet tooth?

CdM

Sweet tooth? No.

Brioche?

I'm sure I've seen an episode of QI in which Stephen Fry said that Marie Antoinette actually said "Let them eat Brioche, and so I wonder if that is the thing you are referring to?
