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

I assign digital radio.

I don't know what it is called in english, but we call it DAB Radio.

Because of that we now have a station called DR(Denmarks Radio) litteraure and on sunday they are reading the Hobbit! I for one am going to listen to radio all sunday. . .

The timming was perfect, as I was just about to start reading the Hobbit my self.

Gigantic bookstores and spontaneous friendships and nights that last until morning. Voodoo Doughnuts and having the nerve to read in front of a crowd of people that have been writing longer than I've been alive. Vegan pizza and Coffee People and wandering cities in the middle of the night.

Unexpected friendly conversations with strangers held while stopped at red lights to discuss the state of the irritating road construction that has made your exit from the highway an even greater maze of potholes and other road hazards than it was before.

Finally knowing what you're going to do with yourself when you grow up.

Public Transportation

It is a brilliant concept.

I assign laughter to the Shire. Not just laughter, but the full out belly laughs that make your sides hurt.

I also assign the people or things that make you laugh like this.

We dug up the nest of a laying snapping turtle one year, and hatched a batch of babies in a fishtank. Then we released them all in the sinkhole next to our house.

I assign the joy of never seeing one of them again.

The ability to listen to two totally disparate things at one time. When you've just been yelled at by a parent for not concentrating on what they were saying because you were totally engrossed in the television at the time, being able to repeat what they have just said back to them word for word is such a satisfying feeling.
