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

I assign my parents.

Here's an interesting pun: In Filipino, we call them magulang, parents regardless of gender. But gulang alone is a noun,which means cheating when it comes to money. And the prefix ma- indicates that the word is an adjective, sorta when you add -eous to courage, courageous. So magulang, intoned as /MA-gulang/ cheaters when it comes to money and such, and magulang /ma-GULANG/, parents.

Werewolf

I have been so exited (and nervous) all day, only for it to end in a total anticlimax (the day that is).

Running.

People who are into it often say it becomes like a drug after a while. Frankly, those people never did any good drugs. Running is pretty much the opposite of drugs actually, at first horrible, then it only gets worse, then a little better, and usually it has a beneficiary long term effect on your physical and mental health which is little comfort however while you're in the middle of it.

Anime Sanjushi. Am I annoyed at its twisted adaptation of the d'Artagnan romances or am I amused?
