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

I assign Keith Urban to the Shire! He just came out with a new song and I can't begin to tell you how many times I've listened to it!

It's one of those songs that gets you pumped up when you start feeling down. Since I'm here, I'll just assign good music in general.

I assign phonecalls out of the blue from old friends ..especially when they are to tell you that they will be in your area in the summer so you can spend a few days being an unofficial aunt to their 4 year old twin sons... I can't wait and am already gathering info on stuff we can do.

Good game masters who really make the RPG and characters come alive. A friend of mine has a fabulous ability to create wonderful characters who eventually become legendary. Laughing all the time makes playing harder, but it's worth it.

Totally seconded, and when talking of her and GMing, I'd love to assign people who dare to fling themselves into things, to make 120% effort and not wonder what others are thinking of them. It's especially admirable if it surfaces in someone generally a bit reserved, critical or conservative.

I am reading "Ringenes Herrer" in danish for the first time in some years and it is absolutely wonderful.
I was starting to get a bit sick of reading, after having read some heavy stuff for Uni classes and HoMe I for fun. . .

All the details I had forgotten, I can now picture as livingly as the letter from the bank that lies infront of me. It is however a bit challenging at times, by now I have gotten so used to the english names that I easily get confused by the danish ones. Of course not of the essential ones like "Herredet" (The Shire) and Hobbitrup (Hobbiton), but many of the family names are difficult and even places like Sidenå (Bywater) and Eskerød (Esgaroth) pussled me for a short while.
