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

Toys 'R' Us! A magical land full of something-something, Ta-da-da-da-da Da-da-da-dadada. That trip was one of immense fun. So many buttons and gaudily coloured plasticky things.

Staying up 'til midnight discussing inanities with BDers.

C. S. Lewis. I'm sure Tolkien's best friend should be allowed a little home somewhere in the pleasant land, wherein he can be holed up and forced to write more books in the Ransom series.

Friends who can turn a thoroughly gloomy and depressing day into a good, memorable, and happy day- just by being themselves. And this at a remove of several timezones and several thousand kilometres.

Friends in general belong in the Shire, but friends whose very nature is inspiring belong in Bag-End itself.

Fea, TGWBS, Abercrombie: Thank you.

Pals that can turn three very boring hours of work indoors on a beautiful Saturday afternoon into the sort where I have to try very hard to keep from falling off of my seat laughing. Elven goblets of greed, indeed. Try explaining that Power Rangers staff to fellow librarians.

The movie Ice Age II. Wow. Talk about hilarious.

Free food. Free Renaissance faire food, no less. There was a little Ren Faire at a local college today, and they had free turkey legs and bread bowls! Pretty sweet, since they're five bucks each at the NY Renaissance Faire.

And madrigals with secret naughty meanings.
