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

Dissertation writing. I have never read or written so much about Professor Tolkien in my life, and although I still love his writings and his contributions to the world, I would prefer to be done writing about him academically, for a while.

The Horrible Thing That Screams in the Night.

Really, I don't know what it is. It sounds like a mixture of a yowling cat, a screeching bird and a whinnying horse, with sometimes a touch of demonic laughter thrown in, and sometimes a sort of whimper. I think it can fly. It's the most horrible thng I've ever heard and if I didn't know better I'd say it was a literal denizen of Mordor.

To Mordor the orkish attack on a merry gathering of dancing fairies wherein 49 people were killed and many others wounded in Orlando, Florida. I feel we should let our Downer friends in the LGBTQIA community know that we're with them in their shock and grief.

Telephone scammers. Had a message at my home number from the "IRS" threatening court action for supposed tax evasion. If I had time, I'd call them back with my Silmarillion in hand and when whomever picked up, just start reading to them.

Orange Orangutans wearing Ferrets or blond Stoats on their heads....

I suspect he thinks Mordor is where the Good-guys all live, though.
