Paper Telephone [EPYC] game - [Concluded]

[Captain C]

I'll join. A caption would be preferable, but I'm willing to try to make an image as well.

[Joooray]

Holy daisy, this caption is gonna be hard...

I need some time.... and a drink :laugh4:

Yeah, sorry about that. :sweatdrop:

[Double A]

If I was host, you'd be getting commentary like "this one made me laugh" and "I thought this one sucked."

[ArpeggiateTHIS]

Yeah, sorry about that. :sweatdrop:

Do not for one second think that it was easy for me to do. What's worse is that I was only the fourth person. Whoever's last will have it bad, heh.

[Amsel]

Any news on this, Split/ATPG? I have to go away for a while in a couple of days, so if the delay goes on for much longer I may require skipping.

I have no idea what Split is up to.

Haven't seen him online in a while, he may have just forgot it was his turn. i'll remind him.

[Double A]

If it gets to me before Monday, just skip, since I'll be at my Grandparent's house from Friday till then.

[Splitpersonality]

Completed and submitted :bow:

[Askthepizzaguy]

Amsel is up.

[Winston Hughes]

Sorry for the delay - I've been living in a field for a couple of days. Will try to get the image done later this evening.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Myrddraal's turn.

[Myrddraal]

Image sent on to ATPG and Yaropolk.

[Yaropolk]

Sent to Double A

[Double A]

Hot potato!

[Diana Abnoba]

WT :daisy: was that. Well, whatever it is worth, I sent my caption to Pizza. Good luck to Zack, who is next.

[Double A]

It's a comic!

[Crazed Rabbit]

Can I get in on this?

CR

[Askthepizzaguy]

Ooooh and you got Image too! Esteemed Artiste Crazed Rabbit is going to knock this out of the park! :beam:

Welcome welcome. Don't be too surprised if the image you're asked to draw makes ABSOLUTELY no sense. :laugh4:

[Zack]

I just saw the caption, and I am dropping out. :no:

[Joooray]

I just saw the caption, and I am dropping out. :no:

Aww, come on Zack, you can do it!! :cheerleader:

[Askthepizzaguy]

I just saw the caption, and I am dropping out. :no:

Hey, Zack, you were kidding right?

Do you need more time, or do you really want to be skipped?

[Zack]

I really want to be skipped.

[Splitpersonality]

I thought the caption I got was bad eek...

[Crazed Rabbit]

I could take Zack's place. That way I could still do an image.

EDIT: Wow, that is a crazy caption. Well this should be interesting...

CR

[Beskar]

I have to be honest. Not seeing what the caption is, nor the pictures doesn't really make this game appealing to me, but I am curious.

You should join if only to receive the reward of watching what your contribution came from and turned into.

[Joooray]

Yes, Beskar, join us, we want to play with you.

My pic keeps getting shrunk. Is there any way to prevent this?

Avoid extreme cold and/or Roseanne Barr in a thong, and you should be good.

Host the file someplace like photobucket. Or, just send the file to Askthepizzaguy@yahoo.com and I will upload it for you.

[Skooma Addict]

It was Roseanne. Thanks for the tip!

[Askthepizzaguy]

That's what she said. Okay, now I've uploaded your picture, and I'm sending it off to Captain C.

Lastly, the green goblin was caught lying, promptly tied up and roasted to death, screaming.

I once heard a story about a flying Koopa Paratroopa and young Bootsy Collins, when he still had a afro. Bootsy was in love with pastries and so he cried a lot when a criminal came and stole it. Shortly after came the evil housekeeper and cut off Bootsies arms. In the end the Green Goblin was burned to death while entangled with a chain of lights, but maybe it was all a lie, because the Green Goblin kept on thinking about a small boy that grew a very long nose.

What we have here is the tragic tale of a sad star who thought rainbows are poop. So he rode a turtle to the Hamburgler, who interrupted his tryst with the Scandinavian polka dancers long enough to direct the sad star to an octopus god who could fix his delusional thinking. But instead the octopus god chopped off one of the star’s rays. Poor sad star.

Much respect to CR's drawing abilities.

LOL.

I kinda loved how it degenerated into madness from my caption onward :clown:

I know some of you are waiting for my commentary; it is coming. But I had to do an Askthepizzaguy Mafia writeup, check on my Silent Hill game, do some chores around the house....

Working on it now. :sweatdrop: I'm a busy boy.

[Crazed Rabbit]

CR: Out of curiosity, how long did that take you?

Somewhere between 4 and 8 hours, I'm not sure exactly. And I probably wasn't working at 100% efficiency.

Here's the full size version (https://img199.imageshack.us/img199/379/whackyimagefinal.jpg) (1600x1200, Be warned!):

Man, the captions for this game started out crazy and didn't relent. I think it's neater when the beginning is not quite so crazy and we can see how it evolves from the more mundane into the weird. :shrug:

CR

[Diana Abnoba]

OMG, LOL, that started off the rails, and just kept spiraling out of control. :laugh4:

[Captain C]

I thought being last in line was bad, but I see that this would have made no sense regardless of where I was in line.

Edit: I like how we had two different spider man villains throughout this story, starting out with the green goblin and then having Doc Ock making sporadic apperances.

As turtles multiply and fly through purple skies, the Prince of Pies cries and dies as his many shy wives stab him with knives, whilst the wise goblin of lies fries his ties.

Sure, that looks like a beast. I was slightly intimidated when I first saw it, but then I realized there was a simple key to making it make sense in picture form.

Clever and difficult starting line.


Askthepizzaguy (image)
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/EPYC/EPYCsmall.png

The key was sounding it out. If I could get people to SOUND OUT what I was saying, they would realize that 90% of the image was meant to RHYME.

So, the very first thing I did was tell the next person in line that you're meant to listen, sound it out, hear, whatever. That's represented by the ear, followed by the colon, to indicate you're supposed to LISTEN to the following: (colon.)

3 turtles flying in the sky, multiplied by 1, is 3 turtles flying in the sky.

Ear symbol on the Purple sky (easy enough): sky
Ear symbol on the flying, multiplying turtles (simple): fly, multiply
Ear symbol on Prince, combined with pies (easy if you know who prince is): Prince of pies.
Ear symbol on Prince, with teardrops (easy if you get the rhyme scheme so far): cry/crying/cries
Ear symbol on skull and crossbones, with Prince with his eyes crossed out (easy): dies
Ear symbol on 3 knives (easy): Knives
Ear symbol on each: 5 women, shy smiley face, wedding rings (medium hard): five shy wives
I could not symbolize "wise" and still have it make sense, and I was running out of space, so I ignored the "wise" part.
Goblin plus Pinocchio with an ear symbol (easy): Goblin of lies
Goblin pointing at ties, ear symbol, then the ties pointing at the fryer, ear symbol, with a different colored arrow: the Goblin fries his ties.

Then another reminder to sound it all out. Here's what you get if you do that:

The turtles fly and multiply in the purple sky. The Prince of pies cries, then dies, stabbed by five shy wives with knives. The Goblin of lies fries his ties.

Compare to:

As turtles multiply and fly through purple skies, the Prince of Pies cries and dies as his many shy wives stab him with knives, whilst the wise goblin of lies fries his ties

I give myself a 95% on that one. :laugh4: But you be the judge.


Death is Yonder (caption)
Hearing, the root of everything. Hearing the three koopa paratroop soaring through the sky one time, hearing a film star gushing with admiration for delectable pastries, then hearing him cry when the pastries were stolen, then his death throes as the desperate housewives armed themselves with butcher knives, and cut him to pieces, all smiles. Lastly, the green goblin was caught lying, promptly tied up and roasted to death, screaming.

Hearing: kinda sorta.
Flying turtles: Check
Sky: Check
Pastries: pies (half credit)
Prince: Film star (not quite)
Cry: Check
Death: Check
Wives: Check
Knives: Check
Shy: Smiles? (not quite)
Goblin: Check
Lies: Check
Tied: ties (mostly, yeah)
Roasted: Fried (not quite)

Definitely very close to what I was going for. Most of the original concept sneaks through. I give it a B+, the only real problem was DIY did not get the rhyming clue (ear symbols).

But hey, that's kind of abstract and you don't normally think outside of the literal for these things.


ArpeggiateTHIS (image)
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/EPYC/arpegEPYC.jpg

Hearing/Ear: Check
Koopa Paratroopa: Check
Flying through the sky: Check
Film star/pastries: Check, check
Crying when pastries are stolen: Check
Death throes, stab with knives, housewife: Check, check, check
Green Goblin: Check
Lying: Check
Tied up and roasted: Check

Arpeg successfully gets all of the main concepts into his image. A+ :bow:

A lot of the original concept has still survived as well. Maybe 70%.


Joooray (caption)
I once heard a story about a flying Koopa Paratroopa and young Bootsy Collins, when he still had a afro. Bootsy was in love with pastries and so he cried a lot when a criminal came and stole it. Shortly after came the evil housekeeper and cut off Bootsies arms. In the end the Green Goblin was burned to death while entangled with a chain of lights, but maybe it was all a lie, because the Green Goblin kept on thinking about a small boy that grew a very long nose.

Hearing: Check
Flying Koopa Paratroopa: Check
Bootsy Collins?
Pastries: Check
Cry: Check
Stealing: Check
Housewife: Housekeeper (Kinda.)
Lying: Check
Green Goblin: Check
Burned to death: Check
Tied up: Entangled (Kinda, check)

The concept transfers easily back into written form, with some variations. I give this one a B+ :bow:

Much of the original concept is still there... but it's getting near 50% of the original. Some of the concepts still rhyme, but that's pretty much gone now/not noticeable as a pattern.

Splitpersonality (image)
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/EPYC/PaperTelephonelolwut.png

Hearing: Nope.
Flying Koopa Troopa: Check
Bootsy Collins: Check
Pastries: Check (Kind of disturbingly the same image...)
Stealing the pastries: Check
Evil housekeeper: Yes, but with octopus body? :laugh4: Check
Cut off arms: Check
Green Goblin/chain of lights/lie: Nope, not present.

Well at least Split knows who Bootsy Collins is. The Koopa is an original concept still present, and the pies have become pastries which are still around. The housewives have become an octopode evil housekeeper... the knives have become a samurai blade.

Most of the other concepts have fallen away. Maybe 30% of the original still exists.


Amsel (caption)
Things weren't going well for the Starman: he'd accidentally attached himself to a Koopa; his beloved Scandinavian souvenirs had been stolen; and just five minutes later, an octopus samurai removed one of his appendages.

Koopa: Check
Bootsy Collins: Star man (Kinda)
Pastries: Scandinavian souvenirs?
Stolen: Check
Evil Housekeeper with octo-body: Octopus Samurai (Yeah, mostly!)
Slicing off Bootsy's arms: Check
Five Minutes Later: Check

Original Concept: Koopa, slicing. (10%)

I guess Amsel didn't know who Bootsy Collins was either. My sympathies, Amsel! No idea about the scandinavian souvenirs part. :laugh4:

Definitely worth a B+ though.


Winston Hughes (image)
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/EPYC/PaperTelephonics.jpg

Koopa: Check
Star Man: Check
Things weren't going well: Rainbows turn into poop (Yeeeaaahhh I see where you were going with that, but I dunno if the next person in line will. :beam:)
Five minutes Later: Check
Stealing: Hamburglar (Check)
Scandinavian souvenirs: Scandinavian ladies
Octo Samurai: Check!
Slicing off his appendage: Check!

Very nice, easy to follow image. B+

Original Concept: Koopa, slicing. (same!)


Renata (caption)
What we have here is the tragic tale of a sad star who thought rainbows are poop. So he rode a turtle to the Hamburgler, who interrupted his tryst with the Scandinavian polka dancers long enough to direct the sad star to an octopus god who could fix his delusional thinking. But instead the octopus god chopped off one of the star’s rays. Poor sad star.

Sad Star man: Check
Rainbows: Check
Poop: Check
Starman on top of Koopa: Rode a turtle (Check)
Hamburglar: Check
Scandinavian dancers: Check!
Octopus samurai: Octopus god (close!)
Chopped off star appendage: Chopped off star's ray (close!)
Five minutes later/clocks: nope.

Pretty much describes the image exactly, minus a couple minor details. Good job! B+

Original concept: Koopa/turle, slicing/chopping: About 5%.


Myrddraal (image)
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/EPYC/sadstar.jpg

Poop/rainbow: Check!
Sad Star on a turtle: Check!
Hamburglar: Check!
Scandinavian polka dancers: Nope!
Octopus God: Check!
Chopping off star's ray: Check!

Nicely hand-drawn. Excellently done, just missing the Polka dancers. But admittedly hard to draw. B+

Original concept: Turtle, chopping: About 5%


Yaropolk (caption)

Octo God: Close, Saint Octopus, check!
Chopped by the Octupus' cleaver: Check!
Hamburglar seems to be pointing at a trap: Bonus observation.

I give this description a 100. A+ :grin:

Original concept: Turtle instead of Koopa, cleaver instead of knife/stabbing. 4%


Double A (image)
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/EPYC/EPYC-1.png

Rainbow/poop: Check
Star on Turtle: Check
Hamburglar: Check
Trap: Ackbar (Check)
Octopus Saint with cleaver: Check
Sad star: Check
Cleaver attacking Star: Pretty much.

Very easy to follow, all the concepts seem to be in there. Does not convey the concept of poetry, however.

95% = A rating!

Turtle is still there, cleaver is still there for the knives/killing. About 4% of the original.


Diana Abnoba (caption)
The Star, disguised as a turtle is thinking rainbows are for s***. This makes him sad. While the hamburgler is thinking he is Ackbar, which makes him happy. When somewhere else the star is sad that the 1/2 man 1/2 octopus, has a clever. Even even though the octopus man is good, he wants to kill the star with the clever, which make the star very sad and hurt.

Turtle: Check
Star on Turtle: Not quite, but the Star is there.
Rainbow: Check
Poop: yes.
Sad: Yes
Hamburglar: Yes
Ackbar: Yes.
Octo with cleaver: Yes.
Killing the star with a cleaver: Yes.

It describes it pretty well. Good carry over. There's a bit of a flaw with the Star on Turtle transposing to Star disguised as Turtle, but otherwise perfect. A rating!

Mention of turtle, cleaver for the knives, killing, about 3% of the original.


Crazed Rabbit (image)
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/EPYC/whackyimagefinalsmall.jpg

First of all, major kudos on the image. Wow.

Star: Check
Turtle disguise: It's there, and I see how it's a turtle now.
Rainbow: Check
Poop: Toilet (Good)
Hamburglar: Check
Ackbar: Star Wars (Nice! It's the entire "it's a trap" scene, ladies and gentlemen. Can't beat that with a stick.)
Half man-Octo with cleaver: Check
Attacking the star: Possibly! Looks like it.
Sad Star: Check.

I give this one a 100%+ rating. A++

Turtle concept is disappearing or hard to picture, cleaver is still there. Maybe 2% of the original.


Chaotix (caption)
In a dimensionally-confused world reminiscent of M.C. Escher's work, an armored, lizard-footed star warrior defends the toilet at the end of the rainbow from an axe-wielding octo-man, while in the distance the McDonalds Hamburglar readies his fleet of spaceships for battle.

Star wearing shell and turtle feet: Armored, Lizard-footed star (Close enough!)
Toilet: Check
Rainbow: Check
Octo-man: Check
Cleaver: Axe (close!)
Hamburglar: Check
Star Wars: Fleet of Spaceships (check, needed more specifics)
Strange perspective changes: Dimensionally-confused MCE work. Check!

Chaotix gets most of the concept switched over nicely. B+!

Original Koopa/Turtle concept is totally gone, morphed into a lizard. Knife-Cleaver-Axe.... not close enough, but killing concept still exists.

1% of original.


Skooma Addict (image)
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/EPYC/CrazyPic-1.png

Lizard with an axe: Check!
Rainbow: Check!
Toilet: Check!
Octo-man: Check!
MCE work: Check!
Hamburglar: Check!
Fleet of space ships: Check!
Elephant pooping: Interesting.

Star Wars becomes generic space ships, generic space ships becomes star trek.

All of the concepts transfer over, but the Elephant is added in. Very close to perfect. A rating!

Killing concept is gone, and all that remains of the Knives is the axe. I guess it's a blade. But not really enough to warrant any resemblance to the original, since he's not killing anyone.

The original concepts are gone! Nothing of the original survived!

Fine, here's your million geekpoints back ON A TECHNICALITY. But I am watching you.... :inquisitive:

Elephant: Check!

Lizard with an axe: Samurai Frog (kinda)

I rate this at about 90% accurate. :bow: I give you an A-



Jon Stewart has no :daisy: idea what kind of drugs you're all on.

This is very, very true.





So,

As turtles multiply and fly through purple skies, the Prince of Pies cries and dies as his many shy wives stab him with knives, whilst the wise goblin of lies fries his ties.

Becomes:

Pastries: Scandinavian souvenirs?

Danishes!

Back when I used to host an EPYC game, one habit of captioners that slightly annoyed me was word-for-word (if that makes sense in this context) description of the image, because that tends to lead to basically the same image over and over again, which isn't much fun. I didn't realise that was what you were aiming for. :laugh4: So basically that's why I said Scandinavian souvenirs. Although I did rather think that the man with the star-shaped shades might have been a Starman thing (because of the Koopa next to it).

EDIT: Oh yeah, Crazed Rabbit's picture = brilliance.

[Joooray]

Once again, awesome stuff. :laugh3:
Thanks for hosting this and thanks for the commentary, Atpg. :bow:

I didn't realise that was what you were aiming for. :laugh4:

This is true, and yes I don't expect an exact description. :beam:

I imagine it is expected that you try to match the picture as closely as possible. That's why synonyms or near-synonyms I consider correct; For example Trap = Admiral Ackbar works, because that's a valid thing you think of when you think of the word "trap". And it's also different, which means it isn't the same boring picture over and over.

I don't really consider it a game you "win", I rather think putting it in such a context is ironic, which is why I do it. It would be pretty subjective, and also suck all the fun out of making zany pictures that match words, and vice-versa.

I just didn't see the Scandinavian souvenir/Danish connection; that's my bad for not being imaginative. :beam:

I'll be away for a couple of weeks, so it'd be best to move me to the bottom of the list.

"Things weren't going well for the Starman" is represented by the Starman thinking "Today is poop".

[Choxorn]

Danishes!

Back when I used to host an EPYC game, one habit of captioners that slightly annoyed me was word-for-word (if that makes sense in this context) description of the image, because that tends to lead to basically the same image over and over again, which isn't much fun.

Actually, usually the image-makers tend to insert random things into their image (like Saturn) that are misinterpreted by the next guy, so it often ends up being way different at the end than at the beginning anyway.

Oh yeah, and IN.

[Yaropolk]

BTW, when I saw that picture of crap, first thing I thought to myself was "cinnabon". That would have been an interesting interpretation.

[ArpeggiateTHIS]

In for a caption, please.

[Skooma Addict]

That was madness, but In.

[Askthepizzaguy]

That was madness

No, THIS.... IS.... PAPER TELEPHONE!!!

[Chaotix]

Still in, always in.

Crazed Rabbit isn't on the list. :juggle2:

Ah yes, I was going to put the esteemed artist near the bottom so we could see what our combined monstrosity would look like if it were actually good looking artwork.

And then I forgot to put him back there. :wall:

[Choxorn]

Three days with no post? What's going on right now?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Three days with no post? What's going on right now?

Joooray got the poop slightly over 1 day ago. No real delay yet.

[Joooray]

Yeah, but I complete forgot that it was my turn. Will get to my caption right away. Sorry for keeping you wait.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Am I mistaken, or is it Myrddraal's turn?

[God Emperor]

If possible, I would love to be joining this round :bow:

[Diamondeye]

If possible, I would love to be joining this round :bow:

Me too, after watching the epicness unfold in these last two rounds. Kudos especially to CR, Myrddal and whoever wrote that rhyme (poem, more likely) - was it DiY?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Ok it seems like Myrddraal is inactive or something, we will have to skip him maybe.

I'll drop him down the list and switch him with Diamondeye, if no one minds.

[Winston Hughes]

As always, where the fine arts are concerned, my reputation precedes me like a wave of raw effluent.

Give me a day or two...

[Winston Hughes]

Gah, it looks like it'll take more than a couple of days. Could be four or five. If that's going to be a problem, then move me down the list.

[Motep]

I wish to join you

[Myrddraal]

Really sorry, yes I was away. I'll delete the PM. I have read it but only skim read, and I couldn't tell you what any part of the caption was.

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

Can I join?

[Crazed Rabbit]

I'll be back next Wednesday; traveling until then. Hopefully it won't be a problem, since I'm low on the list.

Skooma hasn't been around anywhere for about a week now. Anyone know where he is?

[Askthepizzaguy]

I may have to skip him. I'll take care of this ASAP, to put someone else in the caption part. However I am heading back to work so I can't do it right now.

[Yaropolk]

You work? I always figured you were on mafia 24/7!

[Askthepizzaguy]

You work? I always figured you were on mafia 24/7!

Very shortly I will be again unemployed. This was a temporary job, and it is my final week.

Beyond sleeping, I generally am on mafia 24/7. I love you guys. Even though you can't tell if I'm mafia or not. :laugh4:

We should switch identities every once in a while. If we can fool the Random.org...
The guy with the the highest mafia percentage? Yup, I believe that's me. I have to get around to changing my name to "Atheotes The Second", I've been meaning to for so long...

Well, it sucks that you won't have a job than. (Maybe you should start charging for your games :wink: ) But I'm happy when you are back full time, it might be a coincidence, but the activity is down the way it is roughly the same time, you dare to do something else. :sweatdrop:

It wouldn't work for me, though. You could be mafia every game and people would still think of you as a charming decent guy. I'm mafia once in a blue moon and there's backlash for several games afterward.

I'm charismatic perhaps, but nowhere near as tactful.

Check my win ratio and then review that statement...

And tact is something for drummers, isn't it?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Can I join?

You are in, and I'll have you replace the absent Skooma Addict.

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

Thank ye. Got your image few minutes ago.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Choxorn, it is your turn.

[Skooma Addict]

Blast I was too late! My caption was no good anyway.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Blast I was too late! My caption was no good anyway.

This game may have to be postponed, unless someone else is willing to host it.

If so, everyone needs to forward their captions and images so far to the new host.

[Winston Hughes]

I can take over.

Hope we'll see you again soon, Big Al. It won't be the same without you.

[Choxorn]

In the meantime, I'll work on this monster of a caption I've recieved. XD

[Lord of Lent]

Can I join?

[Winston Hughes]

Can I join?

That depends on whether we can get this game back up and running again. If we can, you're welcome to join in.

On that note...

Please can everyone who's played so far send me their images and captions.

Original caption sent to Winston. BTW you can keep going with the game while people who already went send you the backlog of image/captions.

That particular ball is in Choxorn's court right now. When I get his contribution, I'll be forwarding it to the next person.

Captain C hasn't been online in over a week, and I don't know who else is still paying attention.

Who among those remaining still wishes to play this round?

[Joooray]

I suggest you just switch Captain C with God Emperor. Dunno if has time, but he has been reasonably active elsewhere so he should at least responsive.

Maybe Captain C will show up later and if he doesn't we need to find a replacement for him later.

[Winston Hughes]

Yeah, I'll probably do that.

But I still want to see if the remainder are paying attention anymore. None of them are frequent posters (afaik), and it might just be simpler to round things off with the next caption, then think about starting a new game.

[Joooray]

True, though Mydraal and Crazed Rabbit should be around enough to at least notice when they are notified of their turn. But maybe you should just ask the remaining people if they are still interested and we can go from there.

[Winston Hughes]

Still no sign of Captain C, so I've sent Choxorn's image onto God Emperor, and rejigged the list.

[God Emperor]

Choxorn:laugh4: you are very... creative

[Myrddraal]

Still here, ready to go.

[Crazed Rabbit]

I'm still in.

Beavis and Butthead were sat on a sofa, squabbling over who would get to use the hunting rifle. The hunting rifle was obviously superior to the other weapon, the handgun, because it seemed to be made from a pile of lego bricks.

One day beavis and butt-head decided they had had enough of each other, and were going to duel. Beavis gets his shotgun out and loads it with live ammo, while butt-head loads his water pistol with water, because he is an idiot. Both of them thinking the other would not use the gun that they are using, they prepare to fire.

Beavis and Butthead stole each others guns and decided to have a shootout to settle the score. Butthead was too preoccupied daydreaming about lobotomizing Charlie Brown to notice the gun he stole was a water gun. Beavis murdered Butthead in cold blood and rhythmically teabagged his lifeless corpse to show tunes while stroking a roll of toilette tissue and holding his pet armadillo.

bavis and butthead challenged each other to an old fashion western gunslinger duel. Butt-Head realised that kids usually have a soft spot that he could use to his advantage; the brain. Bavis apparently already had this realised, as he punched Butt-Head in the face, and put a gun right to his to his head. With Butt-Head dead, Bavis sells all 3 tea bags for a kitten and some toilet paper.

[Myrddraal]

Thanks to Crazed Rabbit Beavis and Butthead didn't survive! I'm amazed. Something so easily identifiable by both text and image is hard to shake.

[Yaropolk]

Thankfully Myrdraal's inability to distinguish beavis from butt-head is cancelled out by crazed rabbit's inability to do the same.

[Amsel]

Warman's such a pro, he spotted hidden nuances to my picture that even I didn't see! :bow:

(The caption marked 'Skooma' was actually Warman, right? Skooma got skipped and Warman replaced him.)

[Diamondeye]

I louve CR's image. B&Bhead was actually a bit annoying because once they were in they never quite disappear again...

[Choxorn]

Warman's such a pro, he spotted hidden nuances to my picture that even I didn't see! :bow:

(The caption marked 'Skooma' was actually Warman, right? Skooma got skipped and Warman replaced him.)

The caption I got was forwarded from Skooma, so he meant Skooma.

Speaking of which, Skooma, where the hell did you get the rest of that caption from? :P

[Joooray]

I love how Beavis turned into Geert Wilders. Perfect ending.

Well it took some time, but the result is totally worth it. Thank you all for your contributions.

[Askthepizzaguy]

The gun survives. Everyone's a Winner!

I love how the image for "fighting" makes it all about Beavis and Butt-head.

It's pretty funny watching Beavis and Butt-head quarreling with guns the entire game, basically. I guess gunplay and cartoons translate well into text and then back into cartoons again.
