Paper Telephone. - Page 51 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Galadriel55 · 04-23-2014, 09:02 AM

Galadriel55 sneaked into Agan’s room and left a note on the windowsill,
and that little note said:

Quote:

Sing hey! for the bath at the close of day
that washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is a noble thing!

Agan thought it was the electricity bill,
and picturesquely she dropped dead:

Greenie the Healer quickly appeared,
And diagnosed it:

Quote:

There was only one bathtub at Crickhollow, but fortunately it was big enough.

Kitanna, Assistant, standing at the rear
Put a stamp on the sheet:

To a random passerby
Oddwen whispered from a booth:

Quote:

Merry was aware of Pippin's vigorous bathtime escapades and came up with a plan to prevent damage being done to Crickhollow.

Nogrod screamed, “That’s a lie!
But I will draw the truth!”

Galadriel55 · 04-23-2014, 09:03 AM

An astronomer with a telescope, gazing around,
Reported from Amon Lanc:

Quote:

With Frodo safely out of the door, the future squire of Gondor finally had time to fully utilise the Crickhollow bathroom to his decadent tastes.

Sleepy Hook was annoyed at the sound,
And threw a paper airplane from his bunk:

A level below, beside a sconce,
Gil Galad exclaimed as he caught the plane:

Quote:

Pippin broods at Merry for going trick-or-treating without him and his Gondor mascot costume, but plots his revenge in the upcoming Crickhollow Toilet Races.

Lommy sneezed in response,
Making this sketch in a window pane:

Rune with cleaning supplies and these words
The window began to attack:

Quote:

Ted Sandyman's resentment of Sam's restoration efforts, led to some rather disturbing thoughts of a fecal nature.

BG, one of the local nerds,
Stuck a note on his back:

Galadriel55 · 04-23-2014, 09:04 AM

Agan entered with a clatter,
Breaking through the rhyming pattern:

Quote:

The defilement of Crickhollow received mixed reactions.

“What can this pure nonsense mean?”
Wondered then A Little Green

Kit provides an explanation
With a noisy exclamation:

Quote:

The four stooges with Azog the Defiler pillage Bag-End

Oddwen doodled as she listened,
In her book a picture glistened:

Picture posted in a blog,
It was criticized by Nog:

Quote:

After tons of criticism for leaving the scouring of the Shire out from the LotR-movies PJ has decided to make it good for the fans and added a scouring of Bag End -scene into the Hobbit-trilogy where ruffians led by Azog do the job. In related news Lego has become a major financial partner of the movies.

Selling cupcakes for a rally,
Came along the sunny sally:

Galadriel55 · 04-23-2014, 09:07 AM

Mumbled quietly ol’ Hook
As he sally’s cupcakes took:

Quote:

The faceless men in flares were forced to clean paper bags for Punk-Rock-Balrog. Meanwhile, Smaug relives his childhood dream of drinking tea and watching a pile of bad things land on top of the Lord of the Rings.

Gil provided illustrations
For all Nogrod’s vindications:

She was headed for the win,
Although she was somewhat Thin:

Quote:

Burglars benefit when balrogs and dragons start new hobbies.

“Are we gonna finish soon?”
Asked the somewhat hasty Rune:

“I agree,” as last said Blind,
“Let’s put this long game behind.”

Quote:

During a very important meeting, the Balrog was defeated by a pizza throwing Hobbit-king and a Soduko-playing smirking Smaug.

Legate painted the back cover
And the Telephone was over:

And the lesson? You may nod:
NEVER let the lad lass mod.

Hookbill the Goomba · 04-23-2014, 11:10 AM

SUPERB!! I was giggling like a maniac right to the end!

Rune Son of Bjarne · 04-23-2014, 11:32 AM

Does Azog have an erection in Greenie's picture? I guess that is one way to defile something.

Also, where did the pizza come from?

Kitanna · 04-25-2014, 07:21 AM

I don't know where that pizza came from and I don't care because that pizza throwing Hobbit king made my day.

Gil-Galad · 04-27-2014, 03:47 PM

I enjoy how Crickhollow remained constant for almost half of the call!

Wousides · 05-19-2014, 04:25 PM

Awesome game,, I'll give it a try..

Galadriel55 · 05-21-2014, 10:59 AM

Speaking of which, is anyone else up for a new game, or did I completely kill it?

Blind Guardian · 05-27-2014, 01:32 PM

Oh my goodness why have I just seen this! xD Is awesome!

Aganzir · 06-01-2014, 12:02 PM

I'm interested in playing or, if no one else wants to step forth, modding.

satansaloser2005 · 06-01-2014, 12:40 PM

I'm in as well.

Me too, please!

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-02-2014, 11:10 AM

I shall play! I shall ALWAYS play!

Legate of Amon Lanc · 06-02-2014, 04:00 PM

Algae?

Doubles... whatever the cost in time is.

And count me in.

Thinlómien · 06-03-2014, 03:52 PM

I'm in too, and I want doubles.

Oddwen · 06-03-2014, 09:58 PM

Count me in please! I'm good with doubles.

Kitanna · 06-12-2014, 07:40 PM

I'd like to join as well please!

Aganzir · 06-13-2014, 01:33 AM

You are not too late! Welcome on board!

Aganzir · 06-25-2014, 10:12 AM

Since Wousides seems to have disappeared, we're skipping them and are now one player short. Would anybody like to step in?

I'd also like to talk about text in pictures. While I think random words and letters are fine (as long as they don't make it blatanly obvious what the picture is about), speech & thought bubbles often lead to the next sentence being almost identical to the previous one. I'm sure that's not what anybody wants, so please consider leaving them out altogether.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 06-27-2014, 04:16 AM

I am game

Aganzir · 06-27-2014, 04:18 AM

You can always count on Rune!

(Sign-ups are still open, as always.)

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 06-27-2014, 10:26 AM

Do you still need another player? I'll happily play along.

We don't *need* one, but you're welcome to join! However - we then need another player to get to an odd number again.

Ask your flatmate, he expressed mild interest when I saw him on Wednesday!

*Finnish clique shuts up*

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 06-28-2014, 04:11 PM

Alright, I'll join if it's not too much trouble for the mod.

Flatmate says yes so TGEW is no trouble at all!

So far, the average time to produce a Paper Telephone contribution has been 2.44 days per person.

Aganzir · 07-02-2014, 01:10 PM

We are halfway through! The average contribution time has gone down to 1.92 days.

Volo · 07-02-2014, 02:03 PM

Flattie power, yay!

The previous round was hilarious! Noggie's painting was one of the most imaginative one's I've seen in this game, Legate's drawing has developed nicely, Oddie's Lego Azog, Gil's faceless men... Frankly, XD

Aganzir · 07-08-2014, 12:43 PM

Hookbill gets a biscuit for sending his picture 30 minutes after he received the sentence.

We are 31 days into the round, and the average contribution time (partly thanks to Hookbill) is 1.82 days.

Omnonom!

Aganzir · 07-15-2014, 04:08 PM

Spamming because the round is ready and I want it all on the same page.

Aganzir · 07-15-2014, 04:08 PM

The average contribution took 1.46 days, and just a handful of people had to be whipped for being late. Well done. I am proud of you all. ♥

Aganzir · 07-15-2014, 04:09 PM

One more and here we go... DRUMROLL!
