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

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 04-09-2009, 03:33 PM

I assign being bloated, plus having a dreadful cold that makes my nose so congested that I can hardly breathe at night. I also assign having the Standard Based Assessments the next day, maths. Which is my least favourite kind. (But I did get to read about the history of Galadriel and Celeborn and Of Tuor and His Coming to Gondolin, that's a plus I suppose)

This is one for the Americans...

Adverts, newspaper headlines, magazine blurbs, or student/local campaigns--anything trying to get success by stealing slogans, art designs, or even color schemes from the Obama election campaign. The next time I see another "yes you can" from anyone (aside from the wiseguy who's going to try quoting this at me just to see what I'll do), the person responsible is going straight to Orodruin. No second chances.

Though it was inarguably a successful campaign motif, I quite agree. I found a local auto dealer's ad using it to be particularly tiresome.

Our local gun shop had an Obama sale!

I personally have no problems with the ads if they get you a better deal on a hunting rifle, or whatever you plan on buying.

The gun shops around here reportedly have seen business flourish also, though I didn't hear of any Obama connotation used to advertise.

Sorry Inziladun, but you don't live in Texas!

Not Texas, but it's not too far away. I spent some time at Lackland AFB near San Antonio in the mid 90's.
