Crud, I just skimmed through the list and noticed that the person's name started with an O so I thought it was Oddwen. The dude before me has a weird name.

Orominuialwen · 06-09-2007, 05:13 PM

Actually, I'm a girl.

xyzzy · 06-09-2007, 11:20 PM

Male, female, it's all the same.

...I'm kidding. You can stop killing me.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-13-2007, 02:08 AM

This time, I started with something simple… well, I say simple but I mean… weird.

“After Bag End melted, all Gandalf could say was, ‘that wasn’t supposed to happen.’”

Aganzir found it all a little difficult to believe. So drew a picture to help us picture this scene.

Volo didn’t know what to say and so hired a professional thinker to think something up… Probably.

"A Chinese wizard accidentally sends Bad End into a time warp. Bilbo are not impressed”

Legate picked up all his courage and a pen… Then he drew this:

Lord Melkor did a dance, washed the dishes and almost forgot about Paper Telephone. So I sent around some Elves to beat him up until he did…

After having wandered through the East for nearly an Age, the wizard Romestamo makes a surprise visit to Bag End where he displays his awesome skill with pyrotechnics with a magnificent performance. Bilbo, however, is unimpressed by Romestamo's antics while he sits on his lawn smoking his pipe

Beregond wasn’t happy. So, to cheer himself up, he drew this…

Xyzzy was so baffled that this was the result:

The very tall person thought he would masquerade as a wizard, to impress the hobbits by setting off fireworks; unfortunately for him, they had already been introduced to fireworks and weren't the least bit surprised by the spectactle

Lommy pride her eyes away from the massive army of Penguins assailing her house to draw this…

Gil-Galad had nothing better to do. So writing became his sick obsession…

"So The Only Real Estel (Estel) decided to go ahead with his ingenious plan to pretend to be Thenamir so he can impress Davem and his best buddy Toby with neon fireworks so much that they will love him more then anyone else... ever..."

Orominuialwen was unimpressed and so, in protest, drew something unheard of…

The 1,000 Reader had to beat off the 999 other readers before writing something weird.

The dirty commie, in disguise, took advantage of the fact that the two men were high off halfing weed and moved in for the kill, obscured by the drug-haze fireworks the men were seeing.

The Might’s drawing skills were really put to the test. Unfortunately, he didn’t revise very much…

The Elf-warrior put down his sword for a moment and picked up the pen. Then, after an hour, wrote something…

Nothing stood in the way of John Lennon's plan to destroy Russia after Merry and Pippin were stoned out of their minds on Far Harad pipeweed AKA marijuana.

Who's up for another?

Thinlómien · 06-13-2007, 04:15 AM

*laughs hysterically* I can't believe that changed so much.

That was great. (I love especially Legate's pic. I laughed for minutes when I saw it.)

Sign me up again and I can do whichever job, though I'd prefer drawing.

Oh, thanks, Lommy... *blushes*

I think this one was in all incredibly funny, all the illustrations as well as all the narrations. And the final, totally crazy outcome was something we have not had here for some time - that's the way the best PTs work!

EDIT: I forgot to say, I realize Aganzir can draw very nice...

I'll probably skip the next one, but I hope at least that will give someone else the possibility to join...

Volo · 06-13-2007, 05:22 AM

Well, can't really say much more than what has already been said, so I'll repeat:

Totally wicked!

I'm in for more! Drawing this time, maybe.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-13-2007, 05:22 AM

I liked Lommy's pic, mainly because of the Hobbit saying, "some how they make me sick."

That made me laugh so much.
Would someone else like to mod this time? Partly because I can't think of anything funny to start off with at the moment.

Formendacil · 04-17-2010, 08:30 PM

...in a Galaxy far, far away...

J.R.R. Tolkien penned this line in what became The Silmarillion:

But the Noldoli overcame the Teleri and took their ships, and fared slowly north along the rocky coasts in great peril and hardship and amid dissensions.

That wasn't good enough for Wilwa however, and she drew it into this:

LadyBrooke was said to be influenced by this drawing when she wrote the following:

In a race to see who gets to have hardship and dissension, the Noldoli are beating the Teleri.

This, in turn, was pictured by Oddwen:

Dancing Spawn of Ungoliant issued her rebuttal in the now famous words:
Barely anything remained after a gang of bloodthirsty dwarf hoodlums (wearing Gandalf's hat collection) rampaged through Lothlórien - even Galadriel's yacht didn't survive.

The argument that ensued was summed up in this picture by A Little Green:

Laurinquë is believed to have been referring to this, when she wrote:
Under the gaze of an apathetic Ilúvatar, a band of speciesist, anarchistic, Dwarves rampage through the Old Forrest to demonstrate their displeasure towards the current King. Meanwhile, the Swan of Doom awaits.

To be continued.... (no posting till the whole story is told--please)

Formendacil · 04-17-2010, 08:40 PM

Under the gaze of an apathetic Ilúvatar, a band of speciesist, anarchistic, Dwarves rampage through the Old Forrest to demonstrate their displeasure towards the current King. Meanwhile, the Swan of Doom awaits.--thus quoth Laurinquë, as has already been said.

In retort, Mnemosyne showed the following photographic evidence:

...which, in turn, caused TheGreatElvenWarrior to declare wryly:
A viking scares a swan away over the Hedge into the Old Forest where the giant trees are waiting.

Eönwë took this much too seriously, coming up with this:

Nogrod, however, did not take it serious at all, saying,
Rune gets a bit carried away with his Gylfaginning-phantasies while cutting the hedge, but without Ratatöskr to make sense of the situation some confusion of identities and missions are created.

...naturally, Hookbill could not stand for this, and had to express this somehow:

Isabellkya scolded him severely for this, when she said,
The ever fashion forward Karl Marx (donning purple shoes,) hefted his scythe in the air as he urged Gylfi to join his troupe in seeking vengeance. Sadly(?) Gylfi ignored the troupe of nonchalant SPM, Alien, Squirrel the Hoarder, and a rogue bomb - in favor of the breaking news on the television about a monstrosity with green hair.

To be continued... (please do not post on this thread till the "story" is finished).

Formendacil · 04-17-2010, 08:48 PM

In our last episode, gentle reader, the brave Isabellkya has just stated the following: The ever fashion forward Karl Marx (donning purple shoes,) hefted his scythe in the air as he urged Gylfi to join his troupe in seeking vengeance. Sadly(?) Gylfi ignored the troupe of nonchalant SPM, Alien, Squirrel the Hoarder, and a rogue bomb - in favor of the breaking news on the television about a monstrosity with green hair.

Danger loomed, nonetheless, in the approach of Aganzir and her image of death:

...not that it daunted Thinlómien much:
Karl Marx and the mercenaries he managed to recruit attack the medusa-loving King Fréalaf of Sweden.

On the other hand, Legate was completely terrified, as this Graeco-Roman piece suggests:

Not to give him too much credit, however, Rune managed to do this with nary a drop of fear:
Once again our hero (of might and magic) saves the day, by exposing that Sweden and Mordor are in fact the same place.

...a fact which outraged Brinniel, who was compelled to make things perfectly clear:

...not that everyone understood. The Might, at least, seemed quite misguided:
Thinlómien becomes leader of the EU and wages war on Sweden which has been declared to be Mordor.
