As Legate had mentioned, it is fun how Christmas festivities is a part of it and then at the end, art imitating life, things turn for the worst in the economics department like when we all get our credit card bills in January and realize we went a tad overbudget .

You all outdid yourselves! an extra nod to Elrond's Daughter and Oddwen for adding new ways to illustrate. Brilliant authoring of the captions, I was so pleased and had no idea what would be coming.

Thank you all so much for your patience.


I would like to draw, please.

That was great! It's kinda like the create your own scene with pics thread except everyone else plays and it's completely random.

Ka, your pictures are amazing!

I would like to write if there is still room, but I got to play the last one, so don't turn anyone else down.

Hookbill - Write (Feb 4)
Holbytlass - Draw (Feb 7)
elrond's daughter - Write (Feb 9)

Oh no, you misunderstand me. I was merely musing on the fact that the picture I received, some weeks ago, was very funny. It was separate to the comment about being nearly at the end.

I sent Fingolfin's sentence out to Damrod three days ago - however, he hasn't even received the pm yet. So...

Damrod, are you out there?

Or is there someone who's watching this that would want to pick up a picture right now?

Otherwise, I guess I could draw something - since it's not a sentence, it doesn't really matter if I know what it came from...

I would draw, but my scanner isn't working at the moment, and I should be next to write.

Proudly presenting...

Paper Telephone 6! After all that, it's finally here!

I started it all off with this sentence:

"Gollum and Ghán-bűri-Ghán were the only ones to show up at Gríma's birthday party."

Legate responded with this picture:

Hookbill then humorously described it as:

"Much as he hated arguments or any kind of unpleasantness, ever-benevolent comedy wizard, Grima Wormtongue had to be forced to endure a birthday party in his honour. To make matters worse, the only people who arrived were Gollum (who, incidentally, thought dead fish a fitting present) and a half naked Bombour (intent on playing musical chairs) who is so hungry he is eating Saruman's hand."

Holby drew us this masterpiece:



Elrond's daughter said that it was:

"A dismayed Gandalf tries desperately to emcee a party, the only attendees of which are a rockin'-out Sméagol and a noticeably undressed blonde hobbit."

So The Might depicted it as:



And Rune described it:

"Gandalf arranged a party so that the hobbits could re-unite with their long lost relative Sméagol."

Lommy gave us this work of art:



And Volo said that it was:

"Sam on his 40th birthday with Gandalf, Merry and Pipping partying happily, Frodo is turned into a Gollum-like creature and Sam is sad that the cake is so small."


Then Spawn drew us this wonderful picture:

And Fingolfin wrote:

“Guests at the magical disco party included Gandalf, Frodo, Pippin, a sad-looking Sam, and a younger Gollum.”

Damrod finally came up with this:


And Nimrodel drew it to a sweeping conclusion with this sentence:

“The disco party was getting more and more wild: Aragorn the DJ was putting Boromir the Disco King's and his back-up dancers' moves to the test, Frodo and Gandalf were about to get in a fist-fight with Gollum cheering them on, and a drunken Pippin was desperately begging for kisses, which seemed to make Merry sad enough to cut his hair.”

Hopefully it was worth the wait!

That was absolutely wonderful!. The only one who stayed through the whole game was Gollum.

I'll be sitting out on the next game, as I've been in them for a while now.

Fantastic!!

Holby's interpretation of my 'Comedy Wizard' really made me laugh. Grima the stand up!

Lommy's Gollum made me laugh also. 'Cheers'.

But even he was turned to Frodo at one phase! That was so funny. But quite accurate too since the party-theme lasted til the end.

All the pictures and texts were just fantastic, but I must say that the one spawn came up with left me quite speechless. Wow!

I'm pretty hooked. If there's a flood of people who did not play in this game and who want to play I'll step aside, if not, I'd love to have another round with either writing or drawing.

So it's finally here!

Wow! I really like Hookbill's description, as well as Volo's (I like, and also wonder, how you came to the conclusion that it was Frodo turned to Gollum ) and Nimrodel's (good observation with the hair, I was first wondering where did you get it). The pics are also great, I like TM's quite a lot. The Gollum character, however, seems to look the best of all the participants at all the pictures (namely Lommy and Damrod have really good Gollums. And then, of course, there is Damrod's Boromir the Disco King...)

Spawn's pic is a real masterpiece

Great one! I especially liked Legate's drawing of Ghan-buri-ghan, and the Bombur reply from Hookbill...
Interesting though how Bombur afterwards became a naked Hobbit
Also great idea Damrod with the Nazgul in the background
Spawn's really is great

Funny how a small party of three grew into a full-blown rave. Absolutely great drawings and sentences, everyone. The small details there are wonderful, and Lommy's Gollum and Holby's Bombur actually made me laugh out loud.

I think I'm developing an addiction to this... so yes, I'd like to join the next round. Also, thanks for your comments, guys. I downloaded GIMP a while ago so I thought to try coloring a pic with it.

And thanks to Firefoot, our phone operator.
