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 ate her.

I'm sorry. I didn't realize she had any outstanding obligations; otherwise I would've held off a day or two.

Well they do say that the green foods are the best for you, so I can understand why you thought it'd be a good idea to do such a thing.
