Let's play 20 questions! You go first...

[Elliott]

Elliott is thinking of something, and you have 20 questions to figure out what it is? Please play with me!

[Mimi]

Well, has it to do with the upcoming Holiday Sale on Janis' website?

Mimi

[Elliott]

NO, it does not.

[Mimi]

:confused: Let me think again and let someone else ask the next question!

Mimi

[gisli]

Well is Elliot thinking of a person?

[Elliott]

No.... Somebody ask me if it's animal, vegetable, or mineral!

[Mimi]

An animal?

MIMI

[Elliott]

NO.... not an animal, but it has a name. These should be yes or no questions. I love this game.

[Agnes]

I'll take the bait; is it a mineral? :D

[Elliott]

Yes, which means it's mostly mineral. Not an organic creature, or something that grows out of the ground, like a tree. (hint: it has a name).

[Dee]

Mostly mineral but non organic. Hmmm.

:confused:

[Eva]

Eeeeeeeehm... Pssst Agnes this is your specialty. Help us out here

Eva

[Agnes]

Is it green?

[gisli]

Well, hmmm.....a fossil is that a name:confused: must be that or somekind of a........stone.

[aabram]

Is it a ......lump of coal.....

[Elliott]

NO, but parts of it burn from time to time.

[aabram]

OK.... Peat?.... or Quicklime?

[Elliott]

Nope... it's something engineered by humans. It's a thing made of parts.

[aabram]

Robert....er... Robot????? :D

[Dee]

NO, but parts of it burn from time to time.

Is it a a wood stove? I'd like one of those about now. :p

[Elliott]

No, not a robot, but it may have robot components. Remember, these are yes or no qustions. The persons who guesses the answer I'm thinking of gets to pick the next one. I have always loved this game. My best game was when I guessed a birthday present was a sister coming for a surprise visit. It took about five questions to guess the correct answer.

[aabram]

How about a ..... :rolleyes: a computer?????

[Elliott]

No, but the thing I'm thinking of has computers. Dee, I just saw your response, and it's not a wood stove.

[aabram]

Space shuttle

[Elliott]

We have a winner! I was thinking of the space shuttle Discovery! Congratulations......... Your turn now. And thanks for playing!

[aabram]

Yea..... this thing is ..... :rolleyes:...OK....mineral

[gisli]

Is it a bell?????

[Elliott]

Is it some sort of machine?

[Eva]

Is it alive?

Eva

[Elliott]

is it used in most civilizied places?

[Eva]

is it used in most civilizied places?
Please define civilised...

Eva

[Elliott]

Civilized - that would be where people shop in malls rather than hit lizards with rocks while wearing diapers.

[hoops]

is it the rude girl?
peace
hoops

[Elliott]

Hoops, I think it's something mineral, like made of or consisting of metal or minerals. As oppesed to something animal or vegetable. Like a toaster or a heating pad. I think. Even alagator boots with steel stiletto heels would be considered mineral.

Is it bigger than a bread box?

[aabram]

Ummmmm......when I said "mineral" I meant mostly mineral with traces of animal and vegetable. Gisli is closest, as there are bells in it. Not a machine, but mechanical in nature. Not alive, but the living use them. Not rude girl. Definitely used in cilivised..er civilised places, and yes, Elliot it IS bigger than a bread box!!!!! :D

[Elliott]

Do most homes have these things?

[gisli]

...I´m lost:o

[hoops]

is it a bell tower?

[aabram]

is it a bell tower?

Congratulations, Noel, unless I was thinking of Peter Shipton's loft :p but I wasn't, so well done and it's your turn :)

Annabel

[hoops]

dang, what a lucky guess
ok i'm thinking of something

[gisli]

Does it have two wheels and has a bruuummmmm, brrruuuuummmm sound?

[Elliott]

Animal, vegetable or mineral?

[hoops]

no wheels or brmmm brmmm sound
i don't believe it is anilma vegetable or mineral

[gisli]

Is it a person?

[aabram]

Is it abstract...eg a song or a film?

[hoops]

not a person, i would consider that animal, not an abstract

[Elliott]

Is it bigger than a bread box?

[aabram]

Is it seasonal?

[hoops]

it can be seasonal and it can be bigger than a bread box, but neither is necessary. let me say this...it is a gas
peace
hoops

[Agnes]

Does it smell?

[Dee]

Is it a fart? Or just a burp?

[aabram]

Is it a fart? Or just a burp?

Is it essential for life? :)

[Dee]

Yah, well, you're in The Zoo now. :p

[aabram]

Yah, well, you're in The Zoo now. :p

I still think a sense of decorum should be maintained though

[Dee]

That's all well and good, but:

(and I quote)

The Zoo

The rough bar down the street from the coffee house. The only things prohibited are solicitiation, and discussion of beastiality or pedophilia. Unmoderated. Don't come crying to us if your feelings get hurt. We warned you.

[aabram]

Why do you think my feelings would be hurt?

[Dee]

What?

I said: The rough bar down the street from the coffee house. The only things prohibited are solicitiation, and discussion of beastiality or pedophilia. Unmoderated. Don't come crying to us if your feelings get hurt. We warned you.

:rolleyes:

[Dee]

Sorry for the derailment folks. :rolleyes: Now back to the game.

Is it a fart? Or just a burp?

[Eva]

You guys have lost me a long time ago. I am not smart enough for this game :eek:

Is it oxygen?

Eva

[hoops]

it is not a human produced gas, tho humans can use their gas for it...it is part oxygen, and yes it can be smelled and yes humans do need it to survive.
