What do you assign to Mordor?

[Lathriel]

I don't think any language should be send to Mordor since I find all of them interesting.

But I do think that Dutch is the prettier version of german and I can't stand it when people pronounce the z as a zee!!!! That pronouncation should be send to Mordor and never heard of again.

[Kath]

Actually lathriel that's one that annoys me.

That pronouncation should be send to Mordor and never heard of again.

You pronounce something but it's pronunciation. Not getting at you it just drives me nuts!

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Mice can go go Mordor. Along with any particularly embarassing reactions to the little creatures that involve first screaming, then swearing colourfully, and then trying your best to speed acceleration due to gravity from 9.8 m/s^2 up to anything faster as you ignore the rungs of a perfectly good ladder to drop through the trap door and land while running, making it from mouse to door in under three seconds.

Not that that happened to me this afternoon or anything.

And about those Regents exams I sent to Mordor? The Physics ones in particular can stay there and burn. Because really, who but Sauron would ask anyone to explain to them time (t) in terms of height (h) using gravity (g) and providing an equation to top it off? And who asks a 17-year-old to find the mass of the sun... who does that? It's Sauron's doing, I swear it.

[Encaitare]

I would also like to pack off American spelling. Gandalf is Grey and always will be, I'm afraid.

Of course he is! And hence, I am in the habit of using "grey" all the time, now. "Youse guys" across the pond have infiltrated my mind with your spellings, though... and I highly suspect many of the books I read only increase the effect. You've no idea how often I have pluck the letter U out of "color" and swap S's with their rightful Z's... :-D

nuc-uler (eeew!)

One of many reasons I dislike Bush. The dictionary claims "nuclear" can be pronounced either way, but I think it's all a plot to make our president look smarter than he is.

I have yet to have a science teacher that pronounces it properly,

I feel your pain... my astronomy teacher always said it wrong, and we all snickered from the back of the room.

And who asks a 17-year-old to find the mass of the sun...

Just remember it's a mass of incandescent gas, and you'll be fine.

For those who didn't get that... ignore me.

Hmmm... what shall I send to Mordor? Summer reading books, I think. Nassty books that cut into my personal reading time. And standardized tests, as Fea said, for although I seem to be good at them, studying for them cuts into my watching of Monty Python DVDs... like this didn't happen this week.

Colds viruses - all strains and mutations of them - without a doubt belong to Mordor.

*cough* *sniff* *sniff*

[Orominuialwen]

British TV mini-series of the '70's and '80's (often shown on the PBS show Mystery in the US) that switch back and forth between film and video, depending on if the shot is indoors or out. It really annoys me, and has a way of detracting from otherwise lovely series (such as the Lord Peter Wimsey and Rumpole ones.) I wish they would just pick one medium and stay with it!

[THE Ka]

My friend Autumn. You have to hate, but love someone as assuming as Mordor's landscape.

Tisk, tissssk... Let's see. What else...

Oh! Unpredictable kilns! They are as greedy as Mt. Doom, if one thing about the clay is slightly valuable to you,*BOOM!*

Another has to be Wednesdays... Who likes something that keeps you in a suspense between Tuesday and Thursday?

I can't think of anymore right now. I will get back with more when they attack me again, or I remember...

Oh, I do! I have no classes on Wednesdays! Yipee!...Oh wait. Math long exams will be scheduled on at most five Wednesdays this term.

[littlemanpoet]

Is anybody up for a new Gondor rpg featuring spoofy characters trapped with all the things we've assigned to Mordor? Lots of descriptions of places like "Nurnia" and what not? The goal being to escape from Mordor by getting "unassigned" by those who have assigned?

Screwy idea, maybe, but thought I'd ask...

Well, there you go. And as for math, I only favor geometry. Ah, yes, those wonderfully safe circles...

Sorry, but this 'bugged' me...

Kud we mebbe dyoo it hyar in Middle Arth Marth?

It was really hard to understand... I had to re-read it five times. It is funny how different sub-cultures can develop wonderfully interesting dialects. I admire it. It was a very humorious expression.

As for where I am taking up residence, I have still to grasp the confusing vocabulary of the many coffee houses...

Another thing that can nace off to mordor for good would have to be diamonds. Dreadfully bland things, there is absolutely no 'wow!' effect. Yes, they may sparkle, have the power to corrupt whole countires and world markets, cut glass, but not much else can be said for color. There are some varieties, but that color doesn't pack much of a punch.

Okay, that's about it for now. I'll try to find more soon.

I assign to Mordor....
road rage unless provoked by the lack of skill of merging smoothly on and off highway ramps and
white chocolate that's just vanilla trying to be chocolate! I will, however, dabble with evil if it's covering Oreo's .

[Lathriel]

Gasp!!! I LOVE white chocolate! People who don't like it should be sent to Mordor. So Holbytlass due to your dislike of white chocolate you are in Mordor but I am in Mordor as well since you think people who do like white chocolate should be send to Mordor.

[Lalwendë]

In contrast to everyone else I am going to send Standard English to Mordor. I don't mean written English, but spoken English, as I love all the differences in pronunciation and accent. I especially love differences in dialect where people use double negatives, dropped aitches and peculiar words. The South Yorkshire term for 'sweets' is 'spice', which fascinates me; how can the opposite word become the common word for something? What I do not like is the spread of Estuary English, as sadly it seems to have wiped out much dialect use in England, thus reducing the colour of our language. And nuclear is pronounced
knee-yooclee-ur around here.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I will take the Ring to Mordor . . .

. . . although I get easily confused with directions.

This nonsensical post is brought to you by your friendly neighbourhood nonsense.

[Noxomanus]

I send to Mordor...

Giant Pandas: because they are creatures eating things they can't even properly digest when plenty more digestable food is around, because they manage to be critically endangered for ages without going extinct and because any other bear should be ashamed of counting a black-and-white couch potatoe among their family members. I hope for them that Mordor's got bamboo.

People that think they pay their dog tax so that the government can do nice things for their dogs,while the true reason is that these taxes are there to limit the number and thereby the nuisance of dogs.

Religious fundamentalists.

Drug-addicts.

Child Molesters.

50 Cent and other rappers that can't really rap and have horrible personalities to boot.

Commercialism.

People that can only answer questions by saying 'yes', 'no' and 'I don't know'

People that don't use proper or close-to-proper spelling in messages and chatrooms.

People in chatrooms with names like 'webcamguy16wantstits'

Ignorant people.

Stupid people that walk off with girls that I would like to walk off with myself.

People that don't understand introverts like me.

War.

Black Eyed Peas

Politically correct people.

People that think they are so great and so funny while they aren't.

Glorification of drinking and being drunk.

Any piercings other then earrings.
