A Cheeky British Barrowdowner!

You're better than everyone on the entire forum, and you know it. I hate you. Will you marry me?


Moi? never been there, never done that, never ever bought a doublet...

Marriage, marriage, lemme see:

1 a (1) : the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law (2) : the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of a traditional marriage <same-sex marriage> b : the mutual relation of married persons : WEDLOCK c : the institution whereby individuals are joined in a marriage
2 : an act of marrying or the rite by which the married status is effected; especially : the wedding ceremony and attendant festivities or formalities
3 : an intimate or close union <the marriage of painting and poetry -- J. T. Shawcross>


er, with all attendant festivities and formalities...? Or would just intimate and close union do?

Points of note:

Diamond, my apologies, but you did want to saw Leninia's head off, so...

Beth, but you do listen to the Clash.

Nur, I guess it's time to fess up: I partially lied about not basing this test on actual people. Please don't tell Seamus Heaney about my slight in the meantime. I'm still set on becoming his pet one of these days.

Saucie, but I did mention that the British are the best, in spite of substance abuse. The Russians, on the other hand...

Phantom, this quiz is not supposed to be at all serious. Like, if you gauge an activity's seriousness on a scale of 1 to 10, it comes in at about a -3.14. Being labeled as "something typical" is the point. Thank you for making this thread twice as important, in the meantime.

Heren, only if you dare to have a jihad on your hands to deal with. I suppose Aragorn had it worse...or did he?

Hey, I resent that! I am Russian (and a commie at that).

I tried taking the charming little questionnaire as my alter ego. I got Angsty Teen! Now that is simply incorrect. I am not angsty, I am evil, by definition. Angst, or any form of inverted melancholia or that member of the four humours does not apply to my flawless, yet utterly horrible persona. If Sauron took that quiz, he'd probably end up with (or be discriminatorially labeled) Angsty Teen Barrowdowner as well. I suggest you make a slight revision allowing one or two of the focal subtexts to act as a catalyst between the angsty prepuscant generation and the category of 'Dark and Loathsome Barrowdowner.' If you understood that paragraph, perhaps my life, miserable and angst-ridden (as of now) as it may be, will have some vague notion of purpose. Oh *sigh*....*angsty sigh*...*very angsty sigh*

It is on a Tolkien forum though. That automatically makes it at least a +4. And anyway, I take trivial stuff very seriously. I'm really apathetic towards a lot of "important" things so I have to care about dumb stuff.

My pleasure. I'm a sucker for hot blondes with accents.

Are you a sucker for Pretentious Prats? Because I based that category on myself, largely. With a little bit of Rimbaud and Bethberry thrown in. In a good way.

Thumbs up

Congratulations! You are- A Good Christian Barrowdowner!
Part of the attraction of Tolkien for you is that it's "good, clean fun." Please make sure to put in a good word with the Almighty for me on Judgment Day
Well, that does describe me pretty well. I hope you're not stalking me to find out what I'm like!

darling, you've gone and put your foot right into it yourself, :

Main Entry: ji·had
Variant(s): also je·had /ji-'häd, chiefly Brit -'had/
Function: noun
Etymology: Arabic jihAd
1 : a holy war waged on behalf of Islam as a religious duty; also : a personal struggle in devotion to Islam especially involving spiritual discipline
2 : a crusade for a principle or belief


Crusade for a principle or belief - that's what I do all the time, yeh...

Now I shall be expecting list of guests to be invited to attendant festivities and formalities...
