Holbytlass has just left Hobbiton.
Papertelephone4

*ring, ring*

We start off with my sentence:
Treebeard, Tom Bombadil and the Balrog love to play "ring around the rosies".

Glirdan draws this piece:


High King Fingolfin states that:
A rather feminine looking Treebear, a gingerbread Balrog, and a floating Tom Bombadil all stand behind a group of lollipops stuck into the ground.

Hookbill's first stab at drawing results in:


Firefoot came up with:
In a game of Candy Land gone horribly wrong, Treebeard, wearing a green dress and purple lipstick, cautions the flying Tom Bombadil and a demonic looking gingerbread man not to be hasty.

Elrondsdaughter took the description and made:


Mormegil insisted that it was:
An Ent wife and a gingerbread devil study a map of Candyland while the spy Alatar flies over them.

The Ka took it and sketched:


In which Rune finishes with:
Super Barrow-Wight teaches Old Man Willow and Cake-devil to play game of life, instead of eating Hobbits and children.

*I'm sorry but I don't know why the other drawings only showed as links*

Rather comical. I must say THE Ka's drawing of what I stated was spot on.

I guess it shows that I am not a native English speaker when I say Cake-devil and not Gingerbread-devil.

The Danish version of a Gingerbread man is called a Cake man. . .when I saw people using Gingerbread-devil I actually yelled "of course" (in Danish)

I must say I found Hookies drawing very funny and the Ka's was beautiful as always.
Actually everybody did good, but these where the ones that stood out to me.

Thumbs up

Fantastic!
I think it must be discussed in times to come weather Old man willow really did eat Children... I think he did.
Sorry, Ka, I'm afraid Glirdan wins the art competition.

White Tree

That was ... unexpected. I was debating whether to say "lollipops", or "reflectors," but I eventually went with the former because Oro said it sounded more interesting.

With the Entwife, I thought, "Hmmm, in Candy Land there is a tree called 'Mama Ginger Tree' and she runs a orchard operation with painfully happy gingerbread children..." Then, it just made me picture how your little coloured plastic children/hobbit-like pieces 'visit' the orchard, and thus the sign.
With Alatar, well, my father has been going crazy over the new Bond movie, and that influenced the 'B.W.' parachuted Alatar. Plus, I thought it looked cool.

Glirdan's was wonderful though, definately has me laughing...

In Elrondsdaughter's drawing, the little fellow flying overhead reminds me of the singing sparrow in Thumbelina. I watched it with my cousin once, that sparrow had nice boots.

Holby I must say, this was an excellent game! I really enjoyed it.

Thank you,
Ka

I don't know if Holby wants to do the next one or not, but here is the list of those who are signed up so far.

- Damrod
- Rikae
- (Hookbill, if someone else is moding).

We need some who havn't yet been in one, I think. It's only fair.

I'd be glad to play hostess again unless someone else wishes to. Keep in mind that one has to have photobucket(something of this type) and be willing to give out their email address.

If no one volunteers to host, then I'd like to do what HookBill did last time, have everyone draw and write.
