I'm assigning to Mordor the fact that there isn't a thread to celebrate those things which are flippin' brilliant but which quite clearly would not be at all appropriate in The Shire.

These are fabulous things like driving the car very fast on a big empty road with noisy music on the stereo, or freshly laid smooth tarmac, or records that have loads of unhinged screaming in them, or eating slightly toxic chilli for a dare and feeling proud of yourself, or the crisp chemical smell of windscreen wiper fluid and the boxes that you get new VHS tapes in.

Where can such guilty, not quite PC (that's PC on M-E) pleasures go?

Isengard?

Maybe Saruman with his Third Way would appreciate things like that?
