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

Re: The Picture Telephone Game
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.

Re: The Picture Telephone Game
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.

Re: The Picture Telephone Game
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...

Re: The Picture Telephone Game
I limited captions to six words the first time, and instituted no limit this time. Whatever the host feels like is groovy.

Re: The Picture Telephone Game
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.

Re: The Picture Telephone Game
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.

Re: The Picture Telephone Game
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.
Re: The Picture Telephone Game
I just thought it was funny that it called it "band practice" when it was clearly Van Halen performing.
Still funny, I agree.
