The drawings by Greenie and Rikae were my favourites, though it was Lommys that made me laugh the hardest.

The Downer made a neat cameo, and made the readthrough last a little longer (I assume we all read the full text).

It was a pleasure to mod for you crazy inventive people and watch the subject change this way and that way. Thanks to all of you for playing!

I loved Oddwen's picture and the sentence by Legate which prompted it, Rune's interpretation of 'superstar' as 'Eärendil' (thumbs up for that), Greenie's Gilgaladriel, Rikae's founding fathers (that was one of the best!), Gal55's calendar, which was a great way to visualize Nog's rather abstract sentence, Hookbill's Downer page (pure nostalgia, and yes I read the whole text too!), everything about Tilion, Lommy's green Círdan (he isn't ugly, he's cute! But what about Abraham Lincoln?)... Great stuff.

Who's next modding? I'll play.

This was so funny!

My favourites include Eönwë's picture (that palantír!), G55's sentence, Form's picture (that remote!), the whole court/founding fathers thing (amazing pictures, Greenie and Rikae!), the whole cloud thing (I love Rune's picture and how it becomes Gimli-shaped cloud which in turn becomes old man yells at cloud). My absolute favourite is Lommy's sentence though: "Even having friends in the jury won't save Elrond this time." So to the point and cruel.

It seems to have been half a year, but I'm happy to mod the next round.

I'll play, just don't make me draw in the next two weeks. After that I should be okay.

Well, seeing how sluggishly people have been posting on Mirth lately, I doubt you'll have to do much anything in two weeks.
