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

Four extra hours of uninterrupted sleep - thanks to classes in all levels being suspended - and upon waking up and looking at the mirror, seeing a face that looks less stressed and haggard than the day before.

The reason for the suspension of classes does not at all belong to the Shire, though. I would pity poor Sam if it does.

The following conversation gets assigned to the Shire:

My supervisor was talking about the Monty Python skit in which the traumatized fellow can't say any word with the letter 'c' in it, so he says "bolourful" until someone says "well, usk 'k'" in stead. "Kolorful", he says, and then his eyes

"Why, I never thought of that!"

So I brought up Victor Borg's "inflationary English" in which all incidents of numbers in the English language are raised by one number. Thus, to, two, and too become three; and fortuitious becomes five-three-itous. Then I said that I would have to try that out in my current werewolf game.

My supervisor said, "And they'll assign you to Mordor!"

Well I assign my puppy dog. And anyone who feels this should be explained is hereby ordered to go and adopt a puppy dog from his or her neighborhood shelter.
