What do you assign to Orthanc? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I assign Rorschach. He should not be so cool. He is an absolutist, an extremist, right wing and incredibly violent. But all the same, he is probably one of the coolest characters ever to grace a comic book.

He's definitely not for The Shire though.

I assign my parents.

Here's an interesting pun: In Filipino, we call them magulang, parents regardless of gender. But gulang alone is a noun,which means cheating when it comes to money. And the prefix ma- indicates that the word is an adjective, sorta when you add -eous to courage, courageous. So magulang, intoned as /MA-gulang/ cheaters when it comes to money and such, and magulang /ma-GULANG/, parents.

Werewolf

I have been so exited (and nervous) all day, only for it to end in a total anticlimax (the day that is).

Running.

People who are into it often say it becomes like a drug after a while. Frankly, those people never did any good drugs. Running is pretty much the opposite of drugs actually, at first horrible, then it only gets worse, then a little better, and usually it has a beneficiary long term effect on your physical and mental health which is little comfort however while you're in the middle of it.

Anime Sanjushi. Am I annoyed at its twisted adaptation of the d'Artagnan romances or am I amused?

To be fair, the screenplay was written not by Mel Gibson, but by one of Wallace's own descendants, Randall Wallace.
