The obsession of children aged 3-12 with Pokemon. The attachment has it in a nutshell.

I'd like to assign calculus to Mordor, along with my calculus professor from last semester.

What? Is Pokemon *still* going?

New Pokemon suck. Send then to Mordor. I loved Pokemon when I was little, then it turned to $h!t. You turn around and ask a 10 year old what they think of Charmander, and they're like; Who?

Sauron and his orcs and men can play with Pokemon cards and watch the sucky new episodes.

Meowth ROCKS!

Pika-Pika, peeps

You are making me a little nervous here... is this early preparation for this year or harbouring resentment from last and "big enough to hide a razor blade in" is a somewhat sinister reference unit of measurement....

^ Last year, we had a huge snowstorm here in New England, and trick-or-treating was rescheduled for the next Saturday. It sucked, and only about 15 people had candy.

I always make my own costumes, and all that work was barely even worth it last year.

Well, it's died down a little bit where I am. At least I don't see kids running around comparing cards that say Pokemon on them.

So this thread's still going strong.

I assign Texas summer heat to Mordor. Blech!

Good heavens, you're in Texas???

I assign audits and inspections and the related stress to Mordor.

I assign the suckiness of walking out of school to beautiful weather, then having it be sprinkiling as your bus drives home, the walking from the bus stop to your apartment in POURING FREAKING RAIN that soaks all the way through your coat and your shirt.

A little rain doesn't bother me, but this was more than a little rediculous. I walked inside, and the first thing out of my sister's mouth was; "Hey, look! The drowned rat's home!"

Always something or someone that makes you grit your teeth together.

I assign utter lack of summer heat in Toronto.

Yes, there's always something in the world to upset us all

I assign whoever invented the following: polystyrene, shrink wrap packaging, Discovery fajita spice mix, and my new bugbear - coathangers.

littlemanpoet · 06-06-2012, 07:52 PM

If I can have "lack of summer heat" in Toronto, take me there! Even if it is in Mordor!

Oh, and every time it rains in Texas, it hails too, and threatens to tornado. So hail and tornadoes can be assigned to Mordor, too.

It is bucketing with rain here ..... again.... at least I will find out if the repair I made to a leaking skylight at the weekend has worked! No great rush to collect the sandals I ordered though...
