Your interpretation was waaaaay more off-topic of the original theme than Pebble's. With Pebble, at least I could recognise which chain it was from.

I am going to be EXTEREMELY busy today and in the next few days again, so I am not sure when I will manage to sort this out. Please send me your outstanding assignments and have some more patience with me.

Yay at least I got something right.  besides I blame the artist @honeyed chicken (at least until the reveal) for any miss identifications.     Although missidentifications make chains fun and mutate.

 

Bucky take your time.  we can wait.  maybe not that patentintly  cos well,  but without complaint.

I have all the main chains finished, but I'm afraid it's 22.39 here, and I am teaching 8 hours of classes tomorrow (what the HELL have I gotten myself into????), so I won't be able to post them today.

I also have one last bonus to describe. Any takers?

I suspect I've already been in most of the bonus chains, but please let me know if I can help.

 

Take some time to unwind after your crazy week and don't worry one bit about posting.  We aren't going anywhere.

Wow! Eight hours of teaching, @Buckwheat, you are stronger than I could ever be. When I was in graduate school it was difficult to teach just 2 classes a day. I agree that you should take time to relax after a day like this. We are happy to wait for you! :grouphug:

As a side note, I have not participated in any bonus chains so if you need me to describe I can easily do so. B)

TBH, at least two of these classes weren't very intense. But yes, it was a long day.

I am going to post the starting and finishing sentences now.

Here are the starting and finishing sentences, all scrambled up (without bonus chains).

Dad, I'm not convinced that a pitchfork is the most effective way to promote social distancing...

Young man’s sad lollypop bursts, bluebirds fly out of it, the largest of which is ridden by Young man and his grandma, who fly it over an atomic cloud - somehow Donald Trump’s involved too.

Madam Arnolfini and her friend with a pearl earring gossip over a cup of tea on the cafe terrace late in the evening.

A couple of Turks is having a nice midnight picnic: they are sitting on a blancket, drinking wine, in the middle of a meadow with their dog (which wears a fez like its masters).

In the distance, waters lap against a cliff while on the other side a pool merges blues, and closer at hand melting clocks hang off the branch of a bare tree, a wall, a dead, bird like thing and on another watch ants crawl in place of hands.

Hipster moon-boy weeps for humanity as the scorching rays of the sun set his beard aflame.

A hairy dog is kicked back smoking a cigar in his easy chair, reading a newspaper, next to a table with a lamp, more cigars and a cold beer.

A porcelein urinal.

The diver is surrounded by floating blobs and is being threatened by pig eating fish so he thinks of a way to confuse his attackers by organizing the blobs into a grid he can hide in. 

A red-headed man in a black coat holding a walking stick, standing alone on some rocks, is looking out over a sea of mist churning in a mountainous valley that has rocky islands peeking through it.

A bird on a branch overlooks five ants which have sunglasses and play with alarm clocks, while a jug floating in the sky with a donut tries to extinguish a clock on fire.

On a lovely day, Doggie sits at a shady, seaside cafe reading the newspaper with an open, heart-shape box of chocolates on the table at his elbow.

A confused and worried sun shone down upon Old McDonalds farm, which contained many animals including goat, chickens, cross dressing Rocksniffer in a sheep (ewe) costume, a cow, speed camera, picture of the carbon cycle, bucket of fries, a sealion and severed giraffe's head, and diomends snapped animal.

Picasso drew dragon-riding Pictionary players conquering Westeros.

I looked at them yesterday. sorry I didn’t post anything. 
The urinal turned pig chain was truly spectacular. And I also liked how the statue base turned into a vat of water. Or poor @rocksniffer into a rat. 
 

YaA’s pictures are absolutely lovely. Such beautiful style and sense of colors. 

Thank you for hosting, buckwheat, especially with your job’s being so busy.

Sooooooo ... nobody is interested in pictionary results? That is disappointing.

From time to time I unexpectedly get a real life and yesterday afternoon I went for a run with a colleague, then I had a nice diner with friends and we went to the theater after. Now you know everything about my Saturday! :-D

@Buckwheat thank you for having hosted this game in this dire and challenging time for you! I hope it allowed you to somehow escape reality and to forget the classroom hell!

Regarding the American Gothic chain, I read too fast "Farmer’s prong must be socially distanced in length" and I mistook the meaning, that's why I ended up by drawing a poor prong expelled from the farm. 

The blob/pig stuff was crazy indeed! And as usual I love the way Rocksniffer is always involved in our artworks!

The Picasso-like Trump invading Westeros was especially mind-blowing with a bold style; and I loved the poor sad guy in his bubble: @Jez Bell your pictures are soooo cute and precise and well done!  <3

@rocksniffer is it one of your friend who painted this? It's amazing! Is there a hidden meaning or a story behind the painting?

Oh @RhaenysBee thank you, I love this game because it's a good opportunity to train and try new techniques in a funny way!

That was the most bizarre chain in the game. I mean, it started with Marcel Duchamp, soooo ... yep, that tracks.

You are welcome. :)

It did, it was challenging, but great to have something else to do as well.

For some time, it was GRRM, then it was Loras/Margaery Tyrell, then at some point, it was Harry Potter ... now it is the Rocksniffer time!

Thanks for the game! Comments and highlights:

My Farmer George threw WOW into the dustbin. It's not too far a jump from WOW to the carbon cycle, though.

Urinal turning into a pig? Yikes! That's picto!

The Arnolfini thread ended up not far from Apres-midi d'un faune.

I'm impressed that the clocks stayed clocks. If I'd got the first picture they would have turned into demon-jellyfish pronto.

Very amusing!
