Well, that certainly was worth waiting for!

Laurinquë's pic was great, as well as Agan's, and Form's made me laugh aloud for a ridiculously long time.

I love Lommy's Gríma. And Eönwë's me looks deceivingly like the chairwoman of the Finnish social democratic party...

I like how Lommy turns into Legate and how the catfish is lurking in the background in Agan's pic and then appears later as the lead singer of a band.

Great round. Loved it!

Beregond · 01-19-2009, 01:28 PM

Oh my goodness, I can't believe The Ka used "Soylent green is dwarves!" Hahaha! I loved his "Leonard the Laquacious Liopleurodon" line as well.

And Rune's ending cracked me up!

Just a great round, everyone, and fun to read! Guess I can't miss out next time this rolls along.

Thinlómien · 01-19-2009, 01:49 PM

What a lovely round.

I guess I have to explain, though. I was mightily baffled by that "olent" in Hookbill's picture, especially as Alien there looks like he's eating. For "olento" in Finnish means "creature", so I immediately thought there's just one o missing and logically, Alien has eaten it.

And then, "green creature" is obviously Greenie (and she loses her meaning by losing the final o of "olento"), and this led me to decide that the hobbit is Nogrod - there's a resemblance, really!

And as for my picture, I know Gríma looks like Denethor. But I had problems in deciding what he should look like; weirdly enough, I don't have a very clear picture of his appearance. I always kind of liked Brad Dourif's Gríma, so I decided to go for something like that - but I thought he'd better have eyebrows, and that his hair should be grayish and blonde by all logic, not black. So that's why he ended up looking like Denethor.

Agan's and Lauri's pictures were pure art. Greenie's catfish, Form's Greenie and Rune's Nessie made me laugh very much. Of the sentences, THE Ka's was absolutely the best, it was so inventive and made me laugh aloud. *happy smile*

Yes, PT makes me happy. *grin* Speaking of which, who is the next mod? S/he should put me on the list...!!!

I know. But I happen to find faces more interesting than guitars...

Still waiting for Greenie to pick up. She hasn't read the PM yet apparently. Does anyone know what's happened to her? Moths in the pipes? Shoes on the widow-sill? Rats on the brain? Something along those lines?

What with some annoying stuff going on in my allegedly 'real' life, I had almost forgotten about this nonsense. But lets hope A Little Green isn't a little time waster.

I know but I didn't remember exactly what kind of plant it is. I also forgot about some paintings & stuff you have on the walls.

I'd like to sign up for the next round as well. And I promise to mod one some day, I just don't have time right now.

I wonder if there was any PT for the last... let's say, a year... where either Alien or Phantom (or both) would appear...

Rune, you couldn't have finished it better.

Indeed, definitely!

Yes, it was quite funny and I did not quite get it. Moreover, he became Rune later

Hádanka, perchance?

The initial sentence was really a good one Legate! But the Ka owes us an explanation for the "olent green" -thing to be sure.

Yes, I was puzzled as well. Although I liked a lot how Hookbill managed to cope with the problem.

I found all this "Greenie losing her meaning" -stuff absolutely hilarious! And hats off to Aganzir: that place is my home, especially the details, except the plant which is a bit weird (and one can recognize Greenie and me from there - I'm actually wearing the shirt from the picture right now!).

Yes, you can imagine how shocked I was when I actually saw the picture for the first time! Oh my, it was brilliant!

I actually like Théoden's guitar, it has really, really, really interesting shape

I was actually amazed by Lauri's picture, even as it came right after Aganzir's. And as for Form's one, I wonder whether it's not determined by age: for I was not that amused by it, but my brother (who is about the same age as Greenie) also kept laughing at it for a very long amount of time.

I really enjoyed everybody's pictures (and sentences!), but as nobody did that yet, I would like to point out also Naz's picture. That one I find really hilarious (and there it was where my brother and me were laughing together for a ridiculous amount of time).

As for modding, I must say I quite liked that, but I would prefer now to draw again for a change. So, whoever wants to do it next...

How on earth did you guess that? That surely was a riddle hard enough...

And yes, I can see why you found all that so fun already in the middle of the game now...

Oddwen · 01-19-2009, 07:08 PM

Well I don't know about anyone else, but that was well worth the year-or-so's wait.

Naz · 01-20-2009, 02:10 AM

That. That was worthing waiting for!
