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

Anguirel · 06-20-2006, 01:29 PM

A bit too broad. Literary criticism? Monarchism? Liberalism? Hedonism? Poeticism? I like some of these...I'm going to hang about busily reassigning things...

EDIT: Okay, poeticism is stretching it. I'll replace it with epicureanism and mysticism...

I would like to second the assignment of rigid concepts of masculinity and femininity, though I'd like to remove the word rigid from the sentence. Masculinity and femininity should not stretch beyond gender. The rest is pure conditioning by culture.

Again, I wouldn't go that far. Masculinity and femininity have led to an awful lot of good poetry.

I assign chatting on the Assigned to Mordor thread to Mordor.

I also assign losing the Stanley Cup... again.... to Mordor.

And driving in the dark, in the rain, in our car, to Mordor. Poor visibility will fit in fine there.

However, I must off the the Assigned the Shire thread...

Getting hooked on football when I'm supposed to be learning an essay.

I've decided I like Peter Crouch, it's just too amusing when he has to duck so he doesn't accidentally hit the ball with his head

Seconding Ang here, and adding some other isms, including the great English traditions of Romanticism and empiricism... these are things I hold dear and even you, Fea, shall not be allowed to send them to Mordor.

Oh, and where is Lush when you need her...we need a strong phalanx of men-loving feminists to prove Jenny wrong...

Wherever she is I bet you she isn't bare-foot, pregnant and in the kitchen.....

Feminism means I got an education that my foremothers couldn't dream of.
Feminism means that my choices are not dictated by my chromosomes.
Feminism means that I can take it for granted that can get a mortgage in my own name and have equal rights at work, which women a generation older couldn't.
Feminism means I can vote, for which right women a hundred year older died for.
Feminism doesn't belong in Mordor; it belongs in Valinor

Can I join the phalanx? I agree with Mith's post right down the line. And I fit the other membership requirement as well.

Back to Mordor I go.

I assign parking garages with too small spaces. Said spaces are tight even for my fairly small car.
