Heylo. **Yo** (and **White Lightning** ) is back with another game of 20 Questions! The usual:[ul][li][For an idea of how the game runs…](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=107478)[/li][li]A doper asks a yes or no question, I answer it. [/li][li]You all get 20 questions total. It’s not per person. [/li][li]First one to figure my ‘it’ out wins absolutely nothing. Enjoy. [/li][li]There are stupid questions. [/li][li]Stupid questions count as real questions, so I advise you not to ask stupid questions. [/li][li]Number your question (1-20). [/li][li]If you make a guess at what my ‘it’ is, it counts as a question. [/li][li]I retain rights to “make fun” of your username. (it’s not bad, for examples go to an older game) [/li][li]White Lightning is second in command. If I die, he’s in charge.[/li][li]You must get it on or before your 20th Question. You don’t get 20 questions and then a guess.[/li][li]Throughout the game, I refer to the thing you’re looking for as “my ‘it’”[/ul]My ‘it’ is always something that everyone has heard of before. My last ‘its’ were time, love, blah, fire, blah blah blah and music. This game is no exception.[/li]Now that we got that out of the way… I’m calling this ‘it’ a toughy. I was even surprised with myself. Then again, I thought the same way with fire and love and all that fun stuff, so I could be sadly mistaking. Me and **White Lightning** are ready. This is usually the part where I say something cool (or dumb, perhaps, IYO), but I’m out of good lines, so I’ll just say Go. Signature… check Email Notification… check Lots of free time… check ---

You forgot that ‘breadbox’ was 6.0’s ‘it’. Ok, my question: 1. (if there’s no simu-post) Is it a material object? ---

Do you mean this?: > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Yo La Tengo_ > **My ‘it’ is always something that everyone has heard of before. My last ‘its’ were time, love, blah, fire, blah blah blah and music. This game is no exception.** Yes, I do suppose I left out breadbox, but I also left out numerous other things. Also, notice all those “blahs”? That’s just me getting lazy. Pay no attention to it… (also, I wanted to see if someone was actually reading that, which answered my question) Anywho, the question… **Anubis** asked: 1) _(if there’s no simu-post) Is it a material object?_ **Anus** , nope. ---
