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

Aganzir · 01-24-2008, 10:31 AM

Buses that are late. Buses that leave the station in time when you're late yourself (and not even your own fault but the previous bus driver's). Buses that are late when you're in time yourself.
Just add there a blizzard and you know how my day has been.

Shocks that leave you feeling you've been kicked in the chest...changes that you don't understand...changes you can't understand or accept...fears that others won't understand you not understanding...growing up...just...stuff.

I haven't assigned anything to Mordor for over a year...Seems I've been a good girl

I don't know whether this has not already been assigned to Mordor, but anyway here I go: I'd like to send Phonetics to Mordor, and also the people who decided to make it a subject that we should study during our first year in college. I'm also sending my future Phonetics exam (which is surely going to be hell) to become one of the most effective torture methods of Sauron.

This being said, Dimturiel goes back to cramming her head with nasal consonants, intonation, cardinal vowels and the like

I assign that special sense of deep mortification you can only get when your kid shows you up and makes people think you are a bad parent. Like yesterday when a researcher from the Uni came round to ask me some questions for a project I'm helping with and the little one decided to have a full-on screaming fit complete with red face, tears, going stiff and that special, ear splitting yell, that lasted about quarter of an hour.

Lal.. every adult knows babies cry - either because they know from experience or it is a reason why they haven't had any!

It doesn't make people think you a bad parent. Responding to the kid sounding his barbaric yawp by smacking his head against a wall would make them think you a bad parent....

He has just got a sense of humour

unsurprisingly...

Ah but it does make you feel bad, like everyone's 'staring' at you when your child shrieks. I used to sit and tut myself until I realised that babies aren't angelic little things but are very noisy, smelly and grubby and will put you off curry sauce for life. But still cute of course

And I'm assigning that I've just noticed this will be post 1992 and that makes me feel old as that is when I graduated from Uni and that's flaming well 16 years ago...

Is it actually possible to ruin a foodstuff that is served in a bucket? You are working from a pretty low baseline there

Categories of food served in a bucket: KFC and animal feed ...

Some how I mannaged to miss this post. . .

No I only bought 6 pieces and a bit of sauce, so I dipped the a piece in the sauce and was horrified by the result.

Lindale · 11-17-2008, 09:32 AM

I don't understand how one can choose a wrong sauce at KFC, Rune... what sauce is that, yes we wondersss...

Rune Son of Bjarne · 11-17-2008, 09:50 AM

I don't buy KFC food very often and so I could not remember which sauce it was I liked with my chicken. . .

Whatever happened to your quality beef? You can't go wrong with a bit o' steak!

P.S. I've noticed that your chicken problems seem to be of more interest to the Downers than all the other crappy things that are going on in the world. Don't get me wrong, ruining a bucket of chicken is pretty bad.

As much as it hurts me to say "Man does not live by beef alone"
