where the fuck did the accordion come from

The generic image of the accordionist often features that Frenchie hat and facial hair:

This is fantastic.

Honestly I looked at nutella's picture and just went 'what the hell', but somehow my interpretation survived pretty well through to the end.

Very fun when things substantially change from start to end.

That was my first caption. Now I see that it can be less literal.

I think the idea is to try to be somewhat literal. I dunno. I guess the idea is in the eye of the beholder. I like that your caption was somewhat close to mine.

good lord i'm so sorry


next time i'll try and spend more than 45 seconds on this lol

I'm happy to run one. I'm going to add in [mention]M Plus 7[/mention] just because.

i cant draw why did i sign up for this

a) your last one was awesome
b) not being able to draw is surely most of the point

Ain't nobody can draw, who cares.

Count me in for #4.

I loved your drawing, Quin.

Funny round! Good stuff. But I think the captions should be like, limited in max number of words. Kyle was writing the intro of a novel...

I limited captions to six words the first time, and instituted no limit this time. Whatever the host feels like is groovy.

Yeah, but Kyle's was the best one.

I love this pic, the blue mohawk and the bald spot are nice, and for some reason I think the guitarist is young me. I had that shirt.

Golden, my caption was true to yours, just as speedchuck's picture very much resembled mine. Black Rock was telling me that, with my caption, someone is just going to draw the same picture, and she was right. I was thinking of referencing the mechanic's coveralls (though I was going janitorial) but I went with the name instead. Beret and moustache are, of course, instaFrench.

Oh my word what is this horror

I'm in again foreverz

I'll play, but only if I don't have to draw anything.

Have you looked at our drawings?

I'm sure I'll still set a new low.

I decided that French person = accordionist.

I'm in again!

I had better be considered permanent in. I don't want to ever have to say it again.

People are in unless they say out. Votes are changeable.

Kyle's caption is beautiful.

This is a forum game where the mod sets up a chain of users. The first one writes something. The second one draws that as a picture. The third sees only the picture and captions it. Then the forth has to draw that caption. And so on.

It's amusing to see where it takes us.

And where you learn that Kylemii doesn't know who Van Halen are or that they wrote a hip song called "Jump" and that Hamlet pondered whether 'tis nobler to be high in the air or on the ground.

I wouldn't be SO quick to 'jump' to those conclusions, as I would appreciate the hilarity in his interpretation even with that knowledge. Perhaps moreso.

I just thought it was funny that it called it "band practice" when it was clearly Van Halen performing.

Still funny, I agree.

Oh cool- I’m awful at drawing on computer though. Can I even draw on my phone?

Honestly, the game probably only increases in hilarity the more that people suck at drawing.

And you're probably a caption machine.

i can't wait until this game gets like 20 people and the captions just descent into utter chaos

I just want the current game to finish so I can see what we started with. Methinks things went off the rails early this time.

It’s got about five people to go.

for sure

I think I portrayed the caption I got accurately again... though it was a strange caption!

The wait is killing me. It’s like our pictures and captions are locked away in a secret vault like all the art the Nazis stole.

Some people are taking their sweet time at the tail end

New rule: 48 hours and you get skipped.

Oh shit I totally forgot it was my turn. Ugh yeah you can skip me, it'll be another 8+ hours before I get a chance to draw

I was cross country skiing (on Mt Hood) when you PM'd me.

I think I sent my response back 5 days late.

I ain't skipping no-one.

We're close to the end. I'll wait for nutella then the next person gets their turn.

Well that makes me feel a little better.
