Yep, right with the first try :)! Your turn :jossun:

It's Richard Knight, you can contact him here if you need a performer for your next birthday party, or take a course in physical comedy with him at the Circus Space, east London. :)

For the book, I'll go with Silent Spring by Rachel Carson

Re: Pictionary
 

You guys are fast (and very good w/the clues and guessing). I'm going to have to keep an eye on this thread so I can play the next round. :)

Re: Pictionary
 

Well, here you go ;)! Give it a try :)!

Booktitle

Attachment 34828

Re: Pictionary
 

Ok, I did say I'll keep an eye on this thread but I'm rubbish (as I'm finding out) at pictionary. :lol:

Hmm, I not sure what book this is; I see a fighting (boxing?) Irish man. How about "The Fighting Irish: Inside the Ring with Boxing's Celtic Warriors" by Anderson?

Re: Pictionary
 

Nope, the title is not right, but you are seeing the right things..... :)

Re: Pictionary
 

Re: Pictionary
 

Warm, but not correct; I'm looking for a classic novel ;)

Re: Pictionary
 

My answer's probably not right but how about "The Quiet Man and Other Stories" by Walsh?
Warmer? Colder? Or arctic? :p

Re: Pictionary
 

colder, brrr... :)! Your first observation was correct, but you needed to interpret that as an American would, like Rosebud did:)! Now it needs a European mind for the finishing touch, I suppose.... :biggrin:

Re: Pictionary
 

Is it the Hunchback of Notre Dame? :biggrin:

That would account for what I thought was a huge right arm. :thinking:

I'll be gone for a couple of days and won't return until late Saturday. If my answer is correct, will someone post for me please.

Re: Pictionary
 

@Helanren, I'm neither American nor European so maybe that's why I don't know the answer? :p


What how about vlc's guess? :)

Re: Pictionary
 

:lol: Well, it was world literature.... a famous 1831 novel by Victor Hugo (and come to think of it, a Disney animation as well :)).

Anyway, vlc had the correct answer
So over to her :jossun:

edit: I just see she has gone away, so if you wish and since you did recognize a fighting Irishman, go ahead :)!

Re: Pictionary
 

I know of Hugo's "Notre-Dame De Paris" (Hunchback of Notre Dame) but it didn't click when I look at the picture of the fighting Irish (his back looks natural... :p). What did I tell you? I'm just bad at pictionary.

And ok, I'll take her turn; it seems like I always get to draw even when I don't guess right! :lol: It's late here so I'll have to return later with a picture.

Re: Pictionary
 

I agree there is always a risk in choosing a book that has been translated with different titles ;).

The French original (and e.g. the Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Finnish translations) just mention the cathedral, in Dutch it's called 'De Klokkenluider van de Notre Dame' or 'The bell-ringer (?) of the Notre Dame' (similar titles in German, Danish, Norwegian), but of course the hunchback of the English title gave me the most to work with :lol:
I guess the original leprechaun had a bit of a strange figure to begin with.... ;)

Re: Pictionary
 

Ok, here's my picture. Sorry it took so long but I was out all day plus I didn't know what to draw! I hope I didn't make it too easy. :biggrin:

Song title.

Re: Pictionary
 

My first association was Psalms 23:5 (well, to be fair I had to look up the exact place, but I knew it was a well known bible verse :)), then I found out that that was a songtitle as well, so I'll try

"My Cup Runneth Over" by Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones, from the 1966 Broadway musical I Do! I Do!
Here performed by Ed Ames :):

Re: Pictionary
 

I'm thinking it's Drops of Jupiter by Train.

Re: Pictionary
 

That's an album title (the song title is 'Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)'), but I think you are right ;)!. I wondered about the colouring of the drops before...:)

Good picture (and a good song: though I didn't know it, I liked what I saw/heard on YouTube) :jossun:

Re: Pictionary
 

Hooray vlc~! You're right, it is indeed Train's "Drops of Jupiter".

And good try Helanren. Sorry you had the wrong answer but thank you for posting the video of the song (and yes, it's a good song and I'm glad you like it too :biggrin:).

Your turn, vlc. :)

Re: Pictionary
 

I'll post in a jiffy. :)

Song Title.

Re: Pictionary
 

That was fast, vlc! :lol:

I'm hoping I might not be right ;) but is it "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel?

Re: Pictionary
 

You are right! Good job!

I need to remember how to add a pic without using the url. Im very limited this way. *reading directions again*

Re: Pictionary
 

Yay :lol:

Try imageshack because you don't need to register and it's pretty fast. :)

I'll have to return later with a picture.


[EDIT]

Another song title.

Re: Pictionary
 

another nice pic there RJK. :)

is it

eastwind/faith by the minutemen?

though i'm probably wrong. :silly:

Re: Pictionary
 

Re: Pictionary
 

For a moment I suspected it was "You're so vain" which, looking at the colour Orange, I would object to strongly... :biggrin:

Re: Pictionary
 

Thanks tacjoe, I had fun drawing the picture. :)

rbud and tacjoe, you're on the right path; the title has something to do with "wind".

No, it's not that (a good song though :)). I picked orange for the windsock randomly; orange's a nice bright colour so it's purely a coincidence that it's also The Netherlands' national colour... ;)



How about another clue? The song title has 3 words (and remember it has something to do with wind).

Re: Pictionary
 

Re: Pictionary
 

lol. what about

Wind of change by the Scorpions?

Re: Pictionary
 

Good tries but no, not the right answers. :)

I said the song title has something to do with wind but doesn't have the actual word in the title. Any of you familiar with greek mythology (a big hint!)?

Re: Pictionary
 

The zephyr song?

Re: Pictionary
 

Hooray, Steph! Your answer's correct. Your turn. :)

Re: Pictionary
 

Sorry about this, really didn't think I'd get it.

Not as good as others, but it gets the idea across. Sorry it's not very creative!

Edit - whoops, it's a film.

Re: Pictionary
 

Pulp Fiction? :biggrin:

Re: Pictionary
 

Yup, thought it was too easy!

Go for it!

Re: Pictionary
 

Thanks. I wish I could make my own pics like you. This is a movie.
