B.B., phone home! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I wish I could turn the voice recognition off. It is cheesy and clumsy and I never use it ($20 phone) and I wish it would just go away and let me poke buttons.

But if I DID use it... I don't know whether I'd be digging into a Sindarin dictionary for the elvish words (what is the elvish word for Home?) (Instead of Cell Phones, do my friends each have a Palantir?)

Or maybe I'd be going with "Rivendell". Is work "Mordor"? I think of it more as the Road to Mordor (my quest to destroy the Ring of my weaknesses and frailties, which just happens to take place in an office.) But then I'd need the elvish word for "Quest."

Golly, it's as hard as coming up with passwords.
