This is an attempt to revive an old thread...

I will think of a famous person, whether alive or dead, such as Lincoln, Lada Gaga, or Socrates (now there's an interesting group; the possibilities for dinner-table conversation alone boggle the mind...).

Players will try to guess who it is by asking metaphorical questions like "What kind of weather are you?" "What kind of tobacco are you?" "What kind of music are you?" etc.

I will answer in terms of what that person might be if incarnated as that particular weather, tobacco, or music, not in terms of what weather, tobacco or music he/she may have preferred...

When you want to hazard a guess as to who I am, go ahead. If you win, you get to think of the next person, and field the questions.

This is not primarily an intellectual game, but depends on what one writer has called the 'metaphorical instinct'. The questions are not allowed to be categorical i.e., 'are you English', 'what genre do you write in', etc.

That's it. Here we go.

I am a famous person.

:D:D:D

I am a dark storm front set to blow over a coastal town.

Thanks for starting the game, Zonk -- it's a good 'un. :)

Nope. The closest I get to the sea is walking on the pier, along the front and maybe stumbling into it at the end.

Are you Pinkie?

Winner! :)

This is as hard a game for the settee as it is for the sofa! Finding the right thing to define the person from the question is a marvelously tough old business.

Over to you, Nymtoc. :)
