Gotcha, makes sense.cutuphalfdead wrote:Pretty much this. Buildings are just too big for what I had in mind here. You can't pick the Simpsons home. You can't pick the Simpsons kitchen.

Also, events or abstract things probably can't count. So, you can't pick Stop The Planet Of The Apes, I Want To Get Off!, and you can't pick the song "Help Me, Dr. Zaius!", but you could pick a prop from the musical if you wanted.cutuphalfdead wrote:Pretty much this.

Exactly. But one of those burning tires is fair game.EJ wrote:Gotcha, makes sense.cutuphalfdead wrote:Pretty much this. Buildings are just too big for what I had in mind here.

Well, that nullifies my first pick then:
Clothing counts. Body parts are part of a living thing, so no they don't count.Simple Torture wrote:Also, events or abstract things probably can't count.

Clothing counts; do characters' features count? Like a famous body part or something? Or should they only count if they've been modified? Does that question make sense, or is it too vague?

well I couldnt before

What about body modifications? I.e. something added to the body (don't want to get too specific).cutuphalfdead wrote:Clothing counts.

And yeah, tangible items only, so what you said about planet of the apes is true.
Something that works in conjunction with the body but actually isn't an organic part of the body? Yeah sure, that counts.Simple Torture wrote:What about body modifications?

You mean something that may have been surgically implanted?
