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

I know she's in Mordor - albeit trying to get out of there -, but I assign Alumìne Umfuìl to the Shire.

1. I got a good laugh out of listening to my Chem lab instructor fumble as he tried to pronounce the name, which I chose as a code name for a graded activity.

2. Because the instructor had a hard time saying it (and in front of the class at that!), he retaliated by giving me a (supposedly) difficult unknown solution to analyze.

3. Despite his threat, I figured out all three ions in that solution and was the first to finish.

4. It's just a beautiful name. Very fun to pronounce...and mispronounce.

So Alli, if you ever manage to get un-assigned to Mordor, go straight to the Shire. Don't forget your 200 bucks.

P.S. I would have sent Fea as well if I haven't already...
