Ai! Ai!
I can't understand how it's possible, but I see I received the call already a few days ago, alas I wasn't here - but I didn't think it'll be so fast, there were still four people before me last Friday, and it seemed like it's going to take a while yet! But okay - I promise I will try to draw something tomorrow - so please just have patience with me. P.S. And I think some people are really in the need of a therapy

And I just sent my picture. Really can't wait to see the end of this... although I wonder if I should not take some medicine before looking at all that, just preventively.

Just three victims left! I can tell you, this game has taken a really weird road! When I wrote the first sentence I could never have imagined what horrors awaited us. Also, I'm now convinced that several Downers need some serious psychiatric help.

I hope you don't mean I. I merely tried to draw that which was given me.

This is definitely going to be fun(ny)!
And I am signing myself up for the next round- now with the summer holidays, I have more time and will be able to do my call (Writing or pics) faster. edit: just a little [green] longer.

Guard your eyes! Part 1
We began with some inside information from the Istari!
“Much to the annoyance of the other Wizards, Gandalf had been right about the Celery.” Lommy’s house was on a collision course with a local restaurant. Still, she found time to draw this:  Eönwë started writing in 1946 and only finished when we fired the pen into space… In a clearing in a forest by the mountains, Gandalf proves that a Hobbit's brain can be pulled out of its head to three other wizards, who seem to be representing different types of tree, and in the end they grudgingly agree that Gandlaf was right Aganzir made sure to take all of Picasso’s artistic skill, and then do the opposite…  Legate rushed from planet to planet in search of the perfect words. He obviously didn’t find them… As nobody wanted to witness the first brain transplantation in the Shire, Doctor Gandalf created clone replications of himself to watch and enjoy the show. Volo shot to fame… Then died… Then he was resurrected just to draw this:  Rune’s turn made sure that no one got out alive… Or something equally hilarious. A flock of hobbits and a purple piglet watches indifferently as the wizards perform an unholy ceremony

Part 2
The Elf-warrior took time to relax and earn some money. We soon put a stop to that.
 Beregond’s life was about to be stolen by gorillas. These were his last words… Allatar succeeded in cloning mutant sheep-people. It was unsanctified, but neither they nor the sheep cared Nogrod did his duty for king and country… But they weren’t his king or country  Oddwen exploded into action. Once we’d picked up all the pieces, this is all we could get out of her for several days… Alatar pulls an Aule with some sheep, however the endeavor is not likely to be as accepted by Iluvatar. A Little Green took things a tad literally…  Lommy’s endeavors lead to the government clamping down on giant Death robots. Tilion doesn't approve of Count Dracula's plan of heaving the giant Azaghal away with the assistance of a rather sheepish flock of sheep

Part 3
Eonwe sought high and low for the master key. Instead, he found only this picture…
 Aganzir made the headlines… out of papier-mâché “Tilion rebukes Dracula who made sheep kidnap Azaghâl.” Rune found all of this deeply unnerving. After he saw a psychiatrist, he became a film star. Then he drew this…  Volo’s time was up… But he was buried in clocks… "As the black metal band is chained to the lamb, Were-Feanor cries for his swearing friend on the light side of the Moon." Legate’s artistic skills were illegal in five countries. Some of them are real.  The Elf-warrior took time to see the king of Mars. When he got out of the mental home, he told us; “ A group of yellow faced rockers were manacled to a sheep while two downers looked on in bemusement on the dark side of the moon during the first moon landing and while Maedhros took the oath of Fëanor while Tilion yelled at him. ”

End
Beregond was banned from drawing anything every again because of this;
 Nogrod took an oath never to do anything like this again; "In a bit twisted world quite akin to our own, a steersman of the moon called "Tillion" masquarades as a goat and pulls the chariot of the Fëanor band - Maedhros plays the guitar-solo - heading for the root of all evil from where an "Appolo 11" mooncraft is coming towards the moon inhabited by the Phantom and the Alien." Oddwen stole the greatest masterpiece of our time. Then burnt it and replaced it with this;  A Little Green did something unspeakable to finish off! (I did it! No stupid Little puns… DARN IT!) The Moon, driven by a viking-style orc, is inhabited by Phantom, Alien who has turned into a plant and a pack of hippie-ish elves in a sidecar, and circled by Holy Gwaihir and a happy Gollum chasing the Ring. Thus ended the telephone of paper! If it ever could come again, then we’d all be in for some serious trouble from the government!

Hilarious again! I totally cracked up at Eonwe's pic. Great work people! You made my evening.

From Celery to the Moon, you can't get much crazier than that.
Lommy's Aule pulling and Legate's swearing Feanor especially - oh my goodness.

I'm especially amused by how there is a black metal band for every name Tolkien ever made up.

Haha! Hilarious, all of it
Simply unspeakable... But I must note that the dark side of the moon obviously did not escape certain connotations, I especially like the "slogan" on Beregond's pic EDIT: And I just noticed the probably very nasty way Greenie's Ilúvatar feels about the course of events...

*dies of laughter, then comes back to life again, only to die of laughter again*
So, so funny. It just shows that a simple misunderstood expression can change anything. *cough*Greenie*cough* Alatar turns into Alatar who turns into Dracula who ends up pulling and Aule (who turns into Azaghal) rather than "pulling an Aule". Just how did it get so different?

It may be doubles again, by the way, so keep that in mind if you sign up.
Hookbill TheGreatElvenWarrior Eönwë Four men to kill Naz A Little Green Beregond THE Ka Oddwen Nogrod Volo, not sure how we'd do it if you're having a break, but I'm all for letting you mod. Got any ideas?

I think it'll be ok, sir o' Hook. If you would be so kind as continue gathering the player list, I'll send you the sentence before I leave and you start the game whenever you see it fit. Then just send the picture straight to the next player as well as me.

Just got back from vacation
A fair amount of good stuff and a good portion that just made my brain hurt. . .
Also that piglet got to look real scary (ElvenWarrior)

I'm in as well - if I can have my turn after August the 10th as we will be away before that.
This is too insane for me not to take part in...

Okay, I've sent the picture to TheGreatElvenWarrior and Volo. I told the former to send her sentence to both Volo and Eönwë so we can keep this train wreck a rolling!
Took me a while to think up a picture to go with Volo's sentence, but I hope the results aren't too weird... I'll be interested to see how much of it survives until the end.
