that's because I'm an idiot and thought it said Boromir!! Hence, the shield in his hand!!

That was absolutely brilliant! Well, done all. Except for Hookbill :p ;) and that hideously long sentence!!

The Might 03-08-2007 01:09 PM

Know I realize what it's supposed to me
I first thought it's Saruman's hand on a plate or something...

THE Ka 03-09-2007 05:32 PM

Gollum looks awesome in Lommy's... I love it :)

All of them are awesome and I like how somehow it ended up as a case of disco fever...

If there is room, may I join the next paper telephone?
Thank you!

Nimrodel_9 03-10-2007 01:33 PM

That was excellent!

and Nimrodel's (good observation with the hair, I was first wondering where did you get it)
Ohh, so that's Sam with a hand shovel and shears.... they looked like scissors and a mirror to me! :D
I love your pic, Spawn! :D
I'd like to write in the next round if there's room. Let someone else have a turn before me, though. :)

Volo 03-11-2007 05:35 AM

Haha! :D Especially liked all of it!

If it's possible I'll go for the next round. And now that I have had the role of being nasty, I could be in the drawing role next.

Hookbill the Goomba 03-11-2007 07:02 AM

I'll play again, if that's okay! :D

Although, if I have to write a sentence again, I'll make sure it's not so long... :p @ Holby.

The Might 03-11-2007 07:33 AM

I'd also like to take part in the next one. :)

Firefoot 03-11-2007 11:41 AM

I'm considering sitting this round out - is there someone who would like to moderate next? Otherwise, I'd be available to do it.

Hookbill the Goomba 03-11-2007 11:44 AM

I can mod once again if no one else wants to.

Legate of Amon Lanc 03-11-2007 12:00 PM

If you take it, Hookbill (or anyone else), if the persons who wanted to sign up are not already too many, I'd like to sign up as well.

Lord Melkor 03-11-2007 12:07 PM

Signing up as well if there are still some open spots! :)

Precioussss 03-11-2007 03:40 PM

pick me pick me!!!!

*waves arm wildly*

PLEASE!

Hookbill the Goomba 03-11-2007 03:55 PM

Okay, I'll mod the next game. So, here is the list of peoples who have signed up so far...


Hookbill (mod) - Write
Precioussss - Draw
Rikae - Write
Thinlómien - Draw
spawn - Write
THE Ka - Draw
Nimrodel_9 - Write
Volo - Draw
The Might - Write
Legate of Amon Lanc - Draw
Lord Melkor - Write


Any more takers? We could do with two or three more.

Damrod 03-12-2007 04:32 PM

Another great call! It went from a pretty lame birthday party to a huge disco. I loved how Ghan-buri-Ghan turned into a naked Bombur/mir....
the art was great!
I think I'll sit out #7 because my computer is actively working against me.

Precioussss 03-14-2007 04:59 AM

Can we start anyway, with the number of players we have?

Thinlómien 03-14-2007 07:00 AM

If someone joins later we could always add her/him to the bottom of the list (of course unless we are there already)...

Good idea. We'll begin... NOW

Precioussss 03-22-2007 05:34 AM

Ok, I'm an idiot, and I can't use email. Anyways, the first picture is now sent, so the game can continue as if I'm not stunned.

Don't worry. It's old News, Precioussss, old news. :p
I've just sent a sentence to THE Ka. I can tell you it's looking like a good 'un this time! :D

Precioussss 03-29-2007 09:50 AM

Are we there yet??
 
Are we almost finished? I really want to see what Rikae wrote for my retarded picture! :) :p

Legate is currently drawing a picture. So... We're nearly there.

The Might 03-29-2007 02:14 PM

I think this is going to be a really good one, judging by what I got...but no more to that...*moves impatiently* :eek:

Nimrodel_9 03-29-2007 05:19 PM

This is going to be fun. :D

Is anyone else going to join?

Really? How comes I don't know about it? :confused:

Eek! Sorry about that. I was sure I had PMed you... I'll do it now...

Sorry everyone. :(

Legate of Amon Lanc 03-30-2007 06:43 AM

That's okay. All right, now I start working... :smokin:

Hookbill the Goomba 03-31-2007 05:48 AM

We're done!

I'll post it all up as soon as I get home if I can. (I'm supposed to be going out as soon as I do... We'll see).

:smokin:

Hookbill the Goomba 03-31-2007 11:31 AM

I began with this lovely sentence:

"The annual Wizard's Olympics got off to a flying start with Gandalf taking Gold in the Hobbit Toss."

To which Preciousss replied with

http://i10.tinypic.com/2iiwgp4.jpg

Which Rikae thought looked like:

Gandalf the Mauve competes in the hobbit-tossing event at the Pastel Wizard Olympics, while extra hobbit parts wait in a nearby sandbox

Lommy put a bit more colour into the equation

http://s69.photobucket.com/albums/i5...rtelephone.jpg

Spawn took up the challenge and poetically stated:

In the noble game of hobbit flinging,
Saruman of Many Colours is doing his thing
While the hobbit flies in great turmoil,
his friend is soaking in a pool of oil


The Ka did a little dance to entertain a tortoise, and then she drew this wonder:

http://i3.tinypic.com/2qbdvux.jpg

Nimrodel_9 took up the pen (read: keyboard) and said:

Saruman of Many Colors decided to take up cooking and since the only people around to cook for were orcs, he had to have special dishes on his menu such as Frodo-and-Samcakes.

Volo needed a pencil… or possibly a pen… anyway… this is what we got…

http://i7.tinypic.com/2znsgow.jpg

The Might brought some Downers into the equation

A crazy looking Davem dressed up in wizard robes has a cook book in one hand and with the other he is pointing Saruman's staff at the Saucepanman who suddently seems to have a brilliant idea.
Next to the Saucepanman there's a table with a piece of cheese and Frodo's head on top. Next to two very stylishly dressed up Uruk-hai with forks and Orc swords in their hands are preparing to have dinner.


Legate of Amon Lanc’s paintbrush was filled with gold. So he got a new one and drew this:

http://i3.tinypic.com/491expc.jpg

To finish off, Lord Melkor said:

A deranged Frodo wearing his favourite 'Çommand and Conquer' shirt receives electroshock therapy from a very hiply dressed Sam, while two young orc cooks, dressed for an afterwork hip-hop and discoparty, prepare Frodo's dinner using Swiss cheese and Lotho Sackville-Baggins' severed head.

Legate of Amon Lanc 03-31-2007 12:08 PM

The funniest one thus far!
 
:D :D :D !

Now this is just terribly funny! All the drawings and descriptions are just great, that was the best Paper telephone I think! Kudos to Hookbill and all participants!!!

...However, I have to add one thing: my official apology to davem and SpM. I would like to proclaim at this moment that what I did was not done with any malicious intent; and to my defence I would like to say that I had no other choice but to draw what TM posted.* So I sincerely hope that even the Mods understand the situation I am in and I won't get banned.

*However, I have a feeling this might have been intentional provocation meant as revenge on me because of guessing too many TM's riddles.

Volo 03-31-2007 01:48 PM

Hahaha! It might be more fun actually to draw then to write! Though I don't think sneaking to the schools only scanner and scanning a drawing like that unnoticed will be so easy next time. :D

A wonder how the hobbit tossing Gandalf theme could last so long.

Ka, did you read fry instead of fly? :D

Great work everyone! I'm waiting for the next one with anticipation!

THE Ka 03-31-2007 04:44 PM

Quote:

Ka, did you read fry instead of fly?
Maybe, I don't quite remember. :p
I do remember I felt like eating a petit-dej. around dejeuner, so 'fly' became similar to the act of making crepes or making the infamous pancake. So, then of course soaking in oil reminded me of fish (I seem to have an obsession with eating fish, something still a mystery to myself), and Sam was drawn as soaking in batter.

Also, Saruman has always struck me as the culinary type, so it just came to my mind, somehow.
I believe too many a late night studying has taken it's affect, don't you say?

The ending this time was bloody awesome :P

I particulary enjoy Preciousss' crowd of little smilies, it is quite adorable.

Rikae 03-31-2007 07:23 PM

*wipes tears from eyes, still giggling*
Oh, that was wonderful! I needed a good laugh today,too. Love the "electroshock therapy"! Absolutely priceless, priceless.

Hookbill the Goomba 04-01-2007 01:50 AM

Another call, anyone? :smokin:

This really was a good one this time.

Lord Melkor 04-01-2007 03:47 AM

Count me in for another round and I'm offering my services as an artist too! ;)

Volo 04-01-2007 04:37 AM

I'm fine with any of the three roles.

The Might 04-01-2007 09:25 AM

LOL...
No bad intention, it's just the wizard definitely didn't look much like Saruman as I would have thought of him, and the pan mad it seem obvious to me :D

;) Why not? What's wrong with "Frier Tuck goes wizard"? After all, it's the staff that makes a wizard. :D

Hee hee! I got a good laugh out of that! Cute! :D

I wish it could have been longer. Perhaps we should recruit more people.
I would like to write again if that's ok. It gives me something to look forward to. ;)

Precioussss 04-01-2007 01:16 PM

hehehehee....I enjoyed that.


I'll play again!

Legate of Amon Lanc 04-01-2007 01:25 PM

Yeah, if it's not a problem, count me in again as well.
