What do you assign to Mordor?

After reading some of this thread (and counting) I have to say that one thing is certain- true Tolkien fans are some of the liveliest, ultra-witty and intelligent bipedal (and otherly ambulatory) humanoids in all of Middle Earth. It's no wonder when the overly self-congratulating find the Professors work to be uninteresting. They appear to lack the depth to appreciate the richness of his. Such amazing men as he are not only extremely rare, but are (very nearly) responsible for making this life worth all the trouble (how many parenthesis is one allowed per paragraph?).

So, having voiced that scathing and abrasive opinion (concerning out-worlders), I must second the sentiments concerning all dullards who think Tolkien's work is boring (at best) and annoying (in the least), and the "Legolasites", or however one might pronounce it (sounds like parasites), who are only in it for the killer cool contact lenses and the sick snow sledding shield. These, without a doubt, come from Mordor as surely as will my (someday) future mother-in-law.

And to add my own personal bias- Anything that walks with more than four legs.

This is going to sound rather petty and whiny, and indeed it is a pretty small annoyance in the scheme of things, but nonetheless

Isn't it the little petty things that make up our daily troubles?

Fake gift-giving. That is, the practice of buying someone a "present" with yourself in mind, then immediately asking for a long-term loan of said present. Really, who do they think they're kidding? (Yes, yes, this just happened to me, of course– can't you tell?)

How cheap and annoying! I feel really lucky that this didn't happen to me. Whoever did this to you has no brains.

Re: Caterpillars are ok.

To WHOM it may concern;

PERHAPS, this ONE concession. But only because you're a serious Tolkienite, lol!

People who switch off their brains when they switch on their technological devices and expect you to provide postcodes for their sat nav for buildings clearly marked off the main drag.

Tornadoes. It's been a terrible day for them in my neck of the woods. There have been many deaths. It's the grace of God that my community had no major damage.
