What do you "assign" to the Shire? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Lying on the couch and being irritating while flatmate and her boyfriend cook for you.

I assign toast.

Mmmm, wether it's a crusty sourdough bread with sharp cheddar cheese, a crispy wheat bread with cinnamon and sugar, a barely browned white with butter, garlic powder and a hint of salt, or a soft crusty bread soggy with meat drippings......mmmmmmmmmmmm.

Also I assign finding old computer games you used to love as a kid. I used to play an gorgeous old tetris-clone puzzle game and have recently picked that up again. Hurrah!

I assign several things to the Shire:

Ebooks that come in handy during traffic jams, most of them Tolkien books
Android devices
Being able to adequately answer a torture session at Criminal Law
Two consecutive long weekends! Some well-deserved RnR at last

Early dismissal in school. I got out an hour and a half earlier than usual today.

Galadriel55 · 01-27-2012, 07:15 PM

Musical instruments. Need I explain?

Luckyyyyyyyy!!!

I assign real books. The ones made on paper, not electronic devices.

On Friday in one of my classes we had a discussion about what we think will happen to books in a hundred years. I told them that my books at least will be in excellent shape and still in use, if you expect me to live till 120.

Apple pie with generous amounts of cinnamon.

I know, they're just so beautiful. I just got a lovely bookshelf installed in my (bare) room. One that my mum will have to share with me, but it's mine, see, and I've a mind to stare at it all day and neglect my studies

Now just imagine how useless that bookshelf would be without books. A shelf without books - what a depressing thought!

And ice-cream!

I assign phone calls from friends when you most need them and are feeling rather worse than a pile of Orc-dung.

I need to wash out my mouth.

Clearly he needs to be assigned to the Shire because that's where he's from!
