The Sound of Middle-earth -> reading from LotR - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

"So where is that Paper Telephone?" I hear you cry.

Well, look no further:

I started us off with this sentence:

Trouble at the house of Tom Bombadil

Which Lottie thought would be best represented by:

Lauri, on the other hand, thought that:
The floating rock of insanity scares stick-man.

Which Pitch interpreted as:

This was all too much for TGEW, who thought that:
The strange flying head chases the man whose head is disappearing.

Which Hookbill thought meant:

To be continued...

While Lottie thought that this would be more appropriate:
A ghostly head chases its body around a park.

Lauri thought that this was closer to the truth:

While Pitch, on the other hand, thought that this was going on:
Lisbeth Salander lost her head trying to run away from a rabid Huorn

Which TGEW could only explain through this picture:

Our Paper Telephone of super-speed drew to a close when it was left to Hookbill sum up the insanity with this fateful sentence:
Exploded tree syndrome appeared to be contagious, much to the annoyance of red haired stickman.

(Note: Photobucket wasn't working, so I had to upload the pictures through tinypic. I'll re-upload them through photobucket later.)

Anyway, as usual, great discussion and reading from everyone involved!

Hahaha you people are crazy. I'm sorry we missed the Paper Telephone but it was quite late and Volo had to catch his last bus home.

I think I've only taken part twice before, but this was one of the best readings - not only because it was one of the longest. I love the combination of Greenie & Volo as Legolas and Gimli (they've done it before back when Brinn was in Finland) - Volo's exaggerated Russian accent and Greenie's smug elvishness. And I'm sorry the hobbits got so few lines because Lauri & TGEW made a great Merry and Pippin.

Interestingly enough, skip heard Hookbill's voice for the first time when only we, he and TGEW were present, and he asked how come TGEW sounds more British than Hook.

Looking forward to the next reading.

Er... are we still doing this?

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 09-07-2010, 09:47 PM

This is great, we have to continue. Just have to set a date. Would you like to do that, Eönwë?

Aganzir · 09-08-2010, 06:23 AM

I don't have time this Saturday & Sunday, but everything else should work fine.

I think, if nothing else, we should prepare beforehand for the 22nd September. I mean, if there has ever been a date worth making a reading, it would be this, just like the celebration of the end of the War was, where it all started - is it possible that we have first read such a long time ago? So if nothing else, I say that I would like to participate in something on that day. The only downside for some might be that it is Wednesday, but well... what do ye people say?
