Indeed. When I saw the picture on the second round, my first thought was that the only thing to make it through was the shrooms.

It was a great round! Thanks Legate for modding and marshaling us into a fast-paced schedule! The picture at the end was a fun idea too.

I love Pitch's somewhat rebus-like picture. It's funny that 404 came up again - I thought it was hilarious!

HS, you're quite the artist. And Oddwen's setence right after - I mustache you where that idea came from, it's a stroke of genius.

Lommy's Beruthiel looks so realistically smug. It's creepy.

And in Legate's last picture the White Tree looks so sternly disapproving. It must know the Ents will not let this business continue.

Nah, Faramir looks too frowny. But second the last sentence!

Oddwen's picture made me laugh out loud.

It finally makes sense where the cats came into this! I modeled my silver cat off of my baby, Scott. He's the one on the left here(shameless plug for my cat):

All in all, a very enjoyable round. Since I didn't mod for it, I'm game for modding this time around!

I love the puns! Especial shoutout to Oddwen for Little Miss Muffoot and sally for Mount Shroom.

I'm amused (and bewildered) that two separate people included a 404 error in their pictures, and I am in awe of Lommy's Queen (is she meant to be Beruthiel?).

Oh, and I'm delighted with how long the mushrooms lasted. Obviously I would never admit to making a mistake (such as originally drawing corn, then misremembering the sentence and going 'but Lobelia would definitely be farming mushrooms instead'), so I have to insist that they're actually exceptionally modified wheat...

hS

PS: I'm absolutely up to play another round. ^_^

Have you ever seen Legate make faces?

He's beautiful! The black and ginger ones remind me of my Mom's cats, Guinness and Idris (both named after common beverages of the British Isles).

We'll hold you to that! I'm obviously in for another round, too.

That's quite the achievement! Who would have thought Lobelia was such an accomplished geneticist? I suppose she couldn't wait to use Bag-End's cellars as her experimental laboratory...

This was a wild ride indeed! I especially enjoyed Lommy's rose-colored glasses and poor Form's interpretation of my ridiculous scribbling. Cheers and huzzahs to everyone on a hilarious game. I am of course up for another round of this craziness.

Okay, I'm super bad because I'm never on the Downs anymore, but I'm still down to mod.

We have so far:
