What do you "assign" to the Shire?

[Formendacil]

I assign to the Shire the feeling of it being -20 degrees Celsius when you arrive at home late at night, and discovering that the biting wind of early is gone. It feels so... Warm!

I guess that's a rather Canadian feeling, eh?

You can feel it ice fishing in Michigan too, Form.

In light of my latest dream, I send the Star Spangled Banner and duets with Boromir88 to the Shire.

So um... Lal... that Marmite? You said it belongs in the Shire? *shudder*

Is it supposed to be so... um... there are no words to describe.

Mind you, dipping a Marmite-flavored potato chip into Marmite might not be the best introduction to the stuff...

I assign Art Appreciation.....There's nothing like staring at some wierd work of art and trying to reveal some theory about it's content.

I am a self-confessed marmite freak and even I would be scared of using it as a dip! Yes, that might be overkill! It's strong stuff! You need to get a nice piece of hot toast, butter it, and then very thinly spread some marmite on it - lovely. You only need what you can get on the tip of a knife.

Even my cats like it.

Which means it's really cat food, is what you're trying to say, right? I've tried the stuff. **!!double shudder!!** I hear vegemite from down under and a couple steps to the east (2 islands by the name of new sea-land or something like that) is not so different.

To the Shire, weird as it may seem: the phone jack filter that makes it possible for my internet not to disconnect due to line noise! Yay!

To the connoisseur, Vegemite is an abomination and ought to go to Mordor forthwith.

I'm sending my cats to the Shire anyway, seing as they have become newly fledged mousers and have been on alert for any pesky rodent activity around my house. We managed to trap one in a boot with the help of one of my cats. Though worryingly she has begun to take an interest in one of the bookshelves!

Yogurt, and specifically the blueberry yogurt produced by Yoplait, which I am cerrently savoring...ummm-hmmmm....
