What do you assign to Mordor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Legate of Amon Lanc · 06-04-2013, 07:50 AM

Floods, even though they should rather belong to Orthanc (they have their own experience with floods there, after all, and Mordor might welcome a little water here and there, but that's more akin to Sam's wish that the snow from Caradhras goes to the Shire). But the mess they make is definitely something Mordor would deserve (and the Nazgul in it would appreciate, too).

The unerring ability of "holidays" to be so much more hectic and stressful than the rest.

Snow and ice, especially when no one saw it coming.

-16 degrees Fahrenheit this AM in Michigan. But we're expecting a warm-up to perhaps +17 degrees by this evening.

I'm going to the beach. I'm going to get a great parking spot.

I do feel grateful that it isn't worse. For me personally, it's more of an inconvenience than anything else.

Highs here Saturday might get in the 60's! I'm breaking out the tank tops and flip flops.

Yes, but I'll still have a better parking spot.

We've been wavering between these temperatures for two weeks now. Every time I think it might get above -10C, it gets colder again. Now it's also windy. I've been permanently wearing a scarf over my face like a Talibani. You give me the good spot, or I'll shoot.
