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

I didn't mean it as a rant. Apologies if it was taken that way.

What else should be send to Mordor?

Clothes for dogs! With this I mean clothes like the ones Tinkerbell (Paris Hilton's dog) is forced to wear. I feel very sorry for the dog who has to wear such things.

Paris Hilton herself ought to be sent to Mordor. With a bit of luck the heat would melt her.

And anyone who names their kids after their hotels should go too. By that logic I might be called something Margate Seaview or Skegness Travelodge.

Just to comment briefly on what Lathriel said - while I obviously don't dispute someone's right to create fanfiction, for some reason reading it always makes me uncomfortable. I just can never get as into it as I do to the stories created by the original authors. I realize this is probably hypocritical of me, seeing as I write my own fanfiction. But, since I feel so ill at ease reading the fanfiction of others, I never post mine: it's one of those things I do for myself alone. I'm always willing to share my original fiction, though.

Who would I send to Mordor? Gee, how can I answer that without getting political? That's a tough one.

Okay, I'll go a different route, then. How about we send all closed-minded bigots in general to Mordor. Although, that would make us closed-minded and would probably put us in the same category as those people, lumping them in one category and shipping them off.

I wouldn't mind sending some of the New York Yankees announcers into Mordor. I swear, most of them don't speak English - and it's supposedly their first and only language. My father and I have a joke that if you were to ask them, "What language do you speak?" they'd reply, "None."

"Other than English?"

"No. I speak no language."

Well, this is a phonetic interpretation of what the average call sounds like:
Duh pisch tuh Deter...lu-WING enna miss. Snike tree!

Translation:
The pitch to Jeter...Swing and a miss. Strike three!

And no, that was not exaggerated in any way, shape or form.

People who still complain about languages, when all language has already been sent to Mordor.

I believe she's already in Mordor...

The lack of published Quenya makes me rather sore
As it is quite evident that if there were some more
Ambiguous Quenya grammar could be a lot more sure
And so this deficiency goes directly to Mordor.

Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, and their loathesome reality shows should all go to Mordor, along with teachers who spend the entire school year reiterating what was already taught. That really annoys me.

It's been many years since I've been in High School but I would assign busy work such as the end of year crossword puzzles or word searches that you had to hand in after working it all day in class. Why? Because the teacher didn't think it important to prepare a lesson. I mean seriously a word search...what do I really learn from that?
