Who's up for a game? I was thinking of trying a Fluther variant on the old Animal, Vegetable or Mineral.

The category is: Famous Person

Male or female?

Golly. Oh, why not.

Is it an American person?

@shit Yes or no answers can only be given.

@Fyrius No

Too many fuckin’ rules.

@janbb Sorry, my apologies. Is it David Cameron?

I’m just going to try every continent one by one. >:D
It is a European person?

@Fyrius Yes

Is it a female person?

No

Is he English?

Is it Arthur Godfrey?

@Fyrius Yes

It’s David Cameron, it’s David Ccameron. She never answered that one!!!!

Was he in Monty Python’s Flying Circus?

Is it Lord Beaverbrook?

@dpworkin No

“No” what?

No, no and no. Ask more questions before guessing.

@dpworkin what do you want, “No SIR”?

Is he somewhere in the entertainment business?

Do these pants make my ass look fat?

One at a time is better. Yes, to he’s English, not to all the other guesses.

@dpworkin
Yes.

@Fyrius Yes.

Is he an actor?

Is he alive?

Is he John Clees?

@Fyrius Sometimes

@susanc No
@dpworkin No

Oh, dead guy, eh? Did he ever make a silent movie?

@dpworkin No

Was he alive in any of our lifetimes? For example, in dpworkin’s extraordinarily long lifetime?

Did he ever appear in cinema at all?

You are now aware that in this thread there are three dogs interrogating one penguin.

@susanc Hard to believe e but not even that!

A lying, cheating penguin.

@Fyrius hehe!

was he W Shakespeare?

@susanc Yes! Yes! Your turn and good luck with it!

That guy didn’t even write his own plays. And I’m getting back at you @susanc.

O god. I have to go though. I’m proud and happy to be the dog who defeated the penguin, liar and cheater though she is. You guys go. Good luck with it!!!!
Oh hey, dopwerookfy, don’t even try it. I’ll beat you to the punchnext time too.

Someone else want a go?

I’ll do it.
I’m thinking of a vegetable.

Is it a root vegetable?

Yes it is.

Is it white inside?

No.

Does it have Alzheimer’s?

It most certainly does not.

(not my Mom then.)

Is it orange?

(that’s what I was thinking)

Yes, @janbb.

Is it generally eaten by human beings in Western culture?

It generally is.

Ahh! James Arness! The carrot!

Bit obvious, huh?
Your turn.

Give us a hard one, doggyworkin.

It is au fond animal.

Does it have other componet parts?

Is there one on your avatar?

@janbb That question cannot be answered yes or no.

@Fyrius It is much, much more subtle than that.

@dpworkin It is still a living animal?

Is there one on @janbb‘s avatar?

(Jan, I should have said, that answer has not yet been answered satisfactorily.)

No

Well he is fond of this animal.

Does it live on dry land?

Hardy-har-har. If you don’t pay attention to the clues, you will never guess the answer.

Is it a single-celled animal?

@Fyrius that question cannot be answered yes or no.

Is it still extant in the world today?

@CW that question cannot be answered yes or no.

Jan, yes, if “extant” is loosely defined.

Does it exist in the real world?

@Fyrius There is currently a debate on that issue.

@dpworkin Does it exist now not in its prior form?

Is it metaphysical in nature?

@janbb that question cannot be answered yes or no.

@janbb that question can’t even be parsed.

@Fyrius that question cannot be answered yes or no.

Hah! CW.

@CyanoticWasp I’ll parse you! Sure it can.

Is it a fossil?

BRB I have to get something out of the microwave.

@janbb No

Does it eat carrots?

And write plays?

Are there extensive discussions on Fluther about its existence, where I keep saying there’s no reason to even consider the possibility and @mattbrowne insists the question is outside the scope of science?

Can it be very big?

@Fyrius You are getting warmer, but no.

Yes, very, very big, or extraordinarily trivial.

It it an act rather than an entity?

Is it a being featured mostly in ancient mythology?

@Fyrius No.

what about mine?

Are its origins on the planet Earth?

@janbb
Are you thinking of “the beast with two backs”?

I am indeed.

@janbb no, and your previous question, that question cannot be answered yes or no.

Is it from outer space?

For this exercise we will restrict the answer to this planet in the absence of empirical, although not inferential evidence to the contrary.

Has it been claimed to be sited in outdoor areas?

Sited? that question cannot be answered yes or no.

seen, I mean.

Is it amphibious?

@janbb no
@Fyrius no

Is there only one of it in the world?

dpworkin is having a technical problem and will be right back.

@dpworkin is still having problems with his computer. The answer was “an idea.”

Want to do one, @Fyrius or should we wait for more people/ Are you still around @CyanoticWasp?

Barely.

An idea?

Ok i’ll give it a whirl, famous person.

Let’s just see if @Fyrius has one first since it’s his go.

Nah, that’s okay.

I didn’t guess it, either. I just repeated what you said.

Also, I should say I believe he currently lives in the US, though I am unsure, but he definitly has in the past.

European?

He is European

Has he been involved in a scandal of any kind in the recent past?

Yes, but in such a small story, it’s not worth considering. I am sure you are unaware of it.

Over 65?

@Draconess25 You said you had one if you want to go ahead, I am late in coming to the game . . . I get the general rules but not the particulars . . .

Okay….an animal!

mammal?

Nope.

bird

335 responses and not one GQ? Just sayin’

No bird.

Is it bigger than a chicken?

Yes.

Does it have feet?

Most do.

In that case, I’d want to say “Lizard”, instead of delving further and naming a more specific animal.

Nope.

Wait, there’s legless lizards?

The Glass Lizard is legless. Though, it’s smaller than a chicken.

Okay, a non-mammal, non-bird animal, bigger than a chicken, and comes with and without feet.

Is this animal currently extinct?

Some species.

I think I need a hint.

A reptile.

A reptile, larger than a chicken, that may or may not be extinct, and may or may not have feet.

Yesh. XD

The Loch Ness monster?

Close.

The tuatara?

“Zeffie”? The Lake Zephyr monster that some drunken hillbillies near me swear they’ve seen?

Let’s not deny the obvious:

Dinosaurs?

Very close.

A sea turtle.

No, it’s not a turtle.

Dang, I really thought I had it.

Some don’t have feet (flippers); larger than a chicken; some species are extinct; reptile.

Need a hint?

komodo dragon

SO close!

Dragon?

A normal dragon? The kind that flies around breathing fire and all that.

monitor lizard

If I may suggest, this game might be better in a chat room or a different string, since it has gotten so long, and takes time to load.

Dragon, but not all fly or breathe fire. Knuckers don’t.

@Seek_Kolinahr beat me by 4–5 seconds.

@Seek_Kolinahr @FutureMemory If you’re willing to break the rules/not interested in coming up with something, I want a go. I have one that you guys will never ever guess. But I don’t think you’ll give up that position, though it never hurts to ask.

Please?

Awww, let ‘im!

@Fred931 Fine with me :)

Hell yeah. Ok…

Famous (In A Sense) Person

Male?

((Thanks for carrying on without me. I had to put the youngling to bed))

Yes.

You’re welcome @Seek_Kolinahr.

Alive?

Yes.

are we still playing?

F*ck yes.

Is he on TV?

No.

Is he in movies?

Fluther won’t let me say no. But I need to say no.

Haha, lol. When I was answering I had to make longer answers too.

Is he infamous?

Yes. And I’m sorry that you’re the only one playing. That was a disappointment for me, too.
