Rune's critical analysis of this PT amused me.

Okay, so here's the list of those who have signed up so far...

Lommy
TheGreatElvenWarrior
Oddwen
A Little Green
Laurinquë
Blind Guardian
Legate

Anyone else?

Obviously, Lauri's contributions to this Paper Telephone were the best. They are quite discussion worthy.

I'm signing up for the next one, of course. Thanks guys for making my evening! I especially loved the Who-owls, Freud turning into Gandalf, and celery and broccoli. Not to mention Nog's Saruman.

I think it's almost counted as a sign-up if I post on this thread with some comment, of course I would like to joing the upcoming one

Although if there were really lots of people who wanted to participate, and there wasn't enough space, I could give them my place - 'really don't mind, if I sit this one out...

Revived to some degree, but I still don't know where to begin to heap the praise on everybody. Some intriguing transmutations here, like owls > the Who (I love that one!) > Mac and Rikae > Faramir and Éowyn, who then disappeared for a while, with Faramir mysteriously reappearing later and his brain turning into taters... And I have to say Urwen's picture was a masterpiece of abstract expressionism!

Oh, and I'm so totally in for the next round.

Exactly my thoughts - and Laurinque's drawing & sentence - well the whole snowmonster eating a butterman stuff, including Greenie's hilarious pic, Pitchwife's eye for this stuff, Rune's pic (look at the expression there!)! I mean all of it!

I did actually catch a short glimpse of this while giving an exam to the students. They must have wondered what it was with their teacher who started giggling and smiling uncontrollably while supervising the exam and browsing the net in front of them...

Which also means: I'm in for the next round!

Signing up too but I'd prefer not to be placed next to Greenie (or Agan or Nogrod or Legate) because I think I always end up being either before or after them (or very often, between some two of these four) and although I love them all, I know them a bit too well and besides change would be refreshing.

PS. Hookbill, I did enjoy Rune's criticism. I think this one was marvellous but it had too much un-tolkieny stuff...
