The noun is fixed. Read my mind.

All you have to do is ask questions. It's easy. I wrote it down so I won't forget. I know it's a stupid game.

Who's a hound dog?

LessThanZero · Post by **LessThanZero** » Fri Aug 01, 2003 11:30 pm

What?

How was that?

How was THAT?

I said "read my mind"!

I'm thinking of a noun. Ask me questions to find out which one. It's easy, and scientific...

Is it a person?

shabbydoll · Post by **shabbydoll** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 4:34 am

Is it alive (in the conventional sense of the word)?

A rope leash · Post by **A rope leash** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 6:27 am

It is not a person, and it is not alive...

I'll be absent for a few hours. Keep asking!

Is it vegetable or mineral?

shabbydoll · Post by **shabbydoll** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 8:01 am

Is it man made?

stormwarning · Post by **stormwarning** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 8:07 am

is it a stuffed dog ?

pip_52 · Post by **pip_52** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 12:31 pm

Is it a place?

How direct/subtle/inappropriate/misleading a clue is 'Who's a hound dog?'.

My guess, based on it as a clue, is 'rope', but that's too obvious.

Is it within a 100km radius of you? If not, is it in the USA? Where are you, btw?

It's a ham sandwich isn't it?

A rope leash · Post by **A rope leash** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 5:34 pm

O, how I would like to say that it is a ham sandwich...

Ah, Gilli, where ya been? It is generally mineral, I'd say.

Pip, it is not a place, or a person, so now we can say it is a thing.

Shabbs, this thing can be man-made, but only here on Earth.

It's not a stuffed dog, but I'm wondering if you meant a play doll or an taxidermied real one, Storm.

Bambo, I don't believe there's an active one within a a hundred kilometers of anyone, although some may be that close. If you want to know the whereabouts of my domicile, get with Mood...

Who's a hound dog? Smell my mind!

laughingcrow · Post by **laughingcrow** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 5:43 pm

is it made of a natural substance? (i.e occurs naturally in the environment)

A rope leash · Post by **A rope leash** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 6:03 pm

The natural ones are, for sure...

sulkygirl · Post by **sulkygirl** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 7:25 pm

So, iif it's an inantimate object, why, "Who's a hound dog", as opposed to "What's a hound dog??"

A rope leash · Post by **A rope leash** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 9:03 pm

We'll know who is a hound dog when they get the right scent and head down the right trail. (It's not a clue, I'm literally asking if you're a detective dog. A real one, not a stuffed one with a tartan cap and briar pipe.)

There is a clue in my second post on this thread. The noun is fixed. Smell the noun. Go get the noun. Bring me the noun.

stormwarning · Post by **stormwarning** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 10:10 pm

it's a human skull, or skeleton or bone of some kind.
now what do I win ?

A rope leash · Post by **A rope leash** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 11:08 pm

I see that Storm is using the "wild guess" method. A human skull or bone would be within a 100K of someone. This could work, though: I'll keep thinking of the noun as I sleep tonight, and try to project it to Tokyo, perhaps on some thought frequency.

The only prize in this game is the satisfaction of discovery, and perhaps a small party.

Got your thought projection Rope.

It's a nuclear bomb. (The real type as owned by the USA, not the imaginary ones as owned by Saddam)

A rope leash · Post by **A rope leash** » Sun Aug 03, 2003 9:40 am

While a nuclear explosion could be both natural and man-made, I don't think Mother nature actually intends to hurt anybody with hers.

But that's a better guess than dog mummies or man bones.

My thought projection must have encountered some atmospheric distortion. That's a minor clue. I'll keep trying to transmit.

Smell the frequency.

An active volcano.

I have no idea what's going on here.

You have picked up on a relavent adjective there, Pet. Ask the right question that will give you the hint of the scent of the right dirction.
