Ok, I'm obviously coming out of hibernation today and feeling frisky, heehee <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> . Let's start a new game. I'm not sure how it will work on this board's format but let's give it a try and we'll find out. I will start by thinking of an animal. You ask me a question, but I can only answer with a yes or no response. One question per post. If no one guesses by the 20th question, I have to tell you. If someone guesses correctly, they begin the next round. Does that sound ok? Since this is an animal board, we'll dispense with the animal/vegetable/mineral part and just stick to animals.

Ok? On your mark, get set...GO ---->>>> <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

uhmmm <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

i guess ill choose parakeet
i don't know..what to do now..

Joe, try asking a question, to narrow down the choices. Ask me about its appearance, its habitat, for example. A parakeet isn't the one I've chosen, but if it was, you might ask, is this animal a pet? Or, does this animal have wings? Remember, I can only answer with yes or no. Does that help at all?

No. (that was question #1. I won't count the parakeet one <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> )

Is this animal likely to be spotted in an urban or suburban backyard in the USA or Canada?

No. (#5)

Is it likely to be spotted in the wilderness of North America?

Would it happen to be the subject of a recent holiday?

<img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Yes. (#15)

haha now it's pretty obviously a groundhog

....AKA Woodchuck, which means that clues were being dropped left and right. :rolling:

Groundhog/Woodchuck/Eastern Marmot

<img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> You're right!!! :music:

Ok, Ice, do you want to start the next round of 20 questions? If so, think of an animal and say when you're ready....

Hey now, I think I deserve a little credit for the holiday question. That was a big give-away. I had a feeling when I saw your valentine card to everyone that maybe you were hinting to us again. You are a clever one Shelley.

PS. This is a cool game.

I almost gave it away then, too! I came *this close* to saying "you're getting very warm, Lois!!!" <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> You should have come right out and said it! I DO give you credit <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> , although I think Leequi came close, too, at one point. And yes, the minute I saw that card as an option on that great card site, I knew it would be perfect, for the discerning eye...

Ice isn't quite a regular here but I hope she comes back and starts the next round, but if she doesn't, I will hand the reign to you, my friend!

I would like to hand it over to lois ann please, is it ok Shelley?

I think it was more her than me who really got it.

Ok, no problem, Ice. I hope you will stick around and join in the game, though!

Ok, Lois, you ready?
