Bah but it was just a bit past midnight when I posted that. 'Tomorrow' comes only after you've slept, not when the clock says so.

Ah yes, and we have moved quite a bit (as you can see, I haven't been around to edit the list, but now I did) and it is upon Laurinquë now. We are getting close to the finale
I think this round is worth it.

The PT has come down to Rune and its end is getting close like the footsteps of doom...

This is really a difficult one. . . The text I come up with, seems to resemble stuff from Crazy Captions a bit too much.

All right, people! We are done! Let's roll!!! ************************************************** ************************************************** **** This year's first and the last year's last Paper Telephone started with a quite innocent sentence: "When the number of unexpected guests at Bag-End reached dangerous size, Bilbo realised his only chance is to break the law." Which was depicted by THE Ka, thus: ![]() One can imagine that after seeing it, TheGreatElvenWarrior was seemingly puzzled. After putting herself together, she wrote this: "A puzzled Gandalf looks into the window of an ice cube factory to find dwarves, but only finds a drunken hobbit (with tea) who has OLENT GREEN coming towards him." Hookbill had not paid his bill to Captain Hook, and before Peter Pan rescued him from the pirate ship, out of frustration, he has drawn this picture: ![]() Lommy shot out a sentence with a completely new caliber. Such weapons often backfire, though: "To Gandalf the Shopkeeper's consternation, Greenie lost her meaning when Alien ate a part of her, and this was enough of a reason for a Hobbitish Nogrod to start drinking coffee and wine until he passed out." That was well acknowledged by Eönwë, who, in preparation for the War of Wrath, decided to kill Morgoth by making him laugh to death: ![]() Before anyone could react, Greenie took initiative. The horror of Paper Telephone, as well as Isengard, has been unleashed. "Nogrod faints in his house for, to the shock of a profit-centered wizard, Greenie suffers from an identity crisis because Alien ate a piece of her elbow."

Part Two: Paper Telephone Strikes Back
Again, Agan proved a gain against all odds. (Or wens, but that's another topic.)
![]() Upon seeing this masterpiece, Volo wrote the following sentence, to which his companion Sam Gamgee could react only with feeble "Master Volo, no": "Nogrod faint's into Saruman the Crimson arms after learning that Lommy had now finally achieved her dream of becoming a Hugo Weaving look-alike. Alien, on the other hand, learned that Greenie's elbow is the sweetest thing ever." Laurinquë was in a quëër situation, but that did not prevent her from making the following picture: ![]() Everybody knows Nogrod was never into writing sensible sentences. This is why we took him in for the job. "Alien spoils the photo-op of a fancy-dress 'Downer meeting by attacking Greenie the air hostess trying to take a pic of Aganzir the red wizard, Rune the hobbit and Legate the indie rock star." It happened to Form that somebody saw his picture before it was sent. They did not like it, and attacked poor Form. After being beaten for a long time, he kind of lost his Form. But the picture remained unharmed. ![]() Naz wanted to write the sentence together with her friend Gul. Unfortunately, Gul had another job to do for their friend Mor. So, Naz decided to write the sentence alone: "The Employee of Greenie Airlines asks the band AgRuLe to "watch the Nessie," but the gleeful sea serpent is too busy laughing at Legate's Farmer Giles of Ham getup."

Papper Telle Phonne, Part 3
Runne sonn off Bjarrnne did drraw sommething likke thiss:
![]() THE Ka had to look at the picture twice to realise what is she supposed to describe. When it did not help, she looked thrice. When even that did not help, she looked frice, which I consider a very good word that should be included in the language and I have no idea why all you people are looking at me like that. "After the Saruman fiasco, Grima decided to reinvent his pocketbook by reuniting the Rohan farmers' favorite: Ag Rule, with special guest Leonard the Laquacious Liopleurodon." When she received the sentence, TGEW was just visiting her cousin, TWEG, and her uncle, TEWG. When her friends, WGET, EGWT, and GTEW started to come too, she decided it is better after all to make the picture, and so she did. ![]() Hookbill was again on the pirate ship, you know the stuff. "It was more than three years since Grima had genetically enhanced his favorite fish. Since then it had gone on to lead a grand career in Rohan's premier rock group. His creator was left out of pocket and bitter." It was Lommy's turn. So, she turned around and started to draw.

PT Pt. 4
How long was this Paper Telephone! And how odd! Nobody can wonder about why Eönwë wrote what he wrote:
"Things aren't looking good for Denethorenstein as his masterpiece creation, the Cute Catfish of Doom, becomes the lead singer in "the Symbelmynë Brothers", the king of Rohan's own rock band, and leaves his penniless creator for fame, riches and glory." A Little Green made just a little picture, and you can find at least two green things on it. (I know, I know, but you must realise this just had to be included.) ![]() Aganzir, on the other hand, had nothing green in her sentence: "Denethor is sad because his catfish decided to form a band with Théoden." After drawing the following picture, Volo had the right to call himself Volo de Mort. ![]() This image was passed to Laurinquë. Had we known what is going to become of it, we'd have thought twice before doing that. "After throughly insulting the last participant; Gondor's Got Talent hosts Goldie the Goldfish and Steve the Swordfish welcome the next contestant: Denethor Magnificent." Nogrod was really not sure what to draw. In the end, he decided to draw a sword and kill everyone. After doing this, he produced the following artwork.

Paper Telephone - final part!
Formendacil only quickly wrote the following sentence and then left for mending a cil, whatever it is.
"Middle-earth Idol diversifies its musical genres when Denethor follows Pippin's horrid solo with a food-induced, belching rendition of "The Drumstick Song."" This was the end for Naz. Supplying herself with paper, pencils and all the necessary stuff, she left for the Himalayas to dwell in a mountain sanctuary for the rest of her life, supplying the world with works such as this: ![]() Seeing that, Rune could only evaluate the situation by stating: "There was much weeping when Dagor Dargorath turned out to be much more horrific than anyone had imagined." ************************** THE END **************************
