People who don't know directions, but are too proud to admit so and end up giving you false directions. I seriously don't like them. It's complete coincidence that they will soon be featuring in ATM.

Long and frequent comercial breaks during a movie especially if the movie happens to be TTT. I mean how can you watch a movie when every twenty minutes there is a ten minutes comercial break? I also send slippery roads and the people who should put salt or sand on the ice. It truly is a dangerous business going out these days.

I send to Mordor Brand Snobs.
I got an i-Pod ages ago and I just did not like it so exchanged it for the MP3 player I have now. I won't list why the i-Pod was not for me and why my current player is so flippin' brilliant, as I get sick of having to justify my choice, that's what I'm ranting about, having to justify it! I'm fed up with people saying "Oh if you had the money you'd have a i-Pod", because I did have one, and I just didn't like it! Likewise people who think that if you drive an old car you automatically can't afford a new, flashy one. They can't take the argument that I'd rather spend £20k on something sensible (or preferably not spend it at all ) than on a BMW that's going to devalue the moment I drive it. And while we're at it, what about those kinds of people who look down on you for not having designer gear? Big deal. At least I'm not in hock to my credit card company. Rant. Rant. Rant. In fact, let's just send Flash Harrys to Mordor. Oh, and I'm also sending to Mordor people who bring smelly food into the cinema with them. And the horrible feeling you get from having ate too much for your tea. And Sky putting a rubbish film on for their big Saturday 'premiere'.

no? well, at least I tried =) Back on topic, I assign Organic Chemistry to Mordor and the fires of Mount Doom. I do not understand exactly why I'm supposed to memorize all those chemical reactions... THEY ARE ON THE BOOK FOR G'DS SAKE, IF I NEED THEM I WILL LOOK THEM UP RATHER THAN MEMORIZE THEM ALONG WITH EVERYTHING ELSE!! And on that note, I assign memorizing lists of things to Mordor. Any kind of list. |

Mostly because I need this for the RPG...
I conassign/assign/send/banish the following to Mordor:
Banjos. Guitars. 60's folk music groups. I actually like the preceding items to some extent, although they become annoying in excess. And finally: Musicians' managers. Being gullible. Now those last two are things which definitely belong in Mordor in all circumstances.

I assign going to a panto rehearsal only to find that the people who were supposed to have been setting up the sound system in their free and had instead been lazing around the common room so that nothing was ready. It therefore took another half an hour to get to the only bit my friend and I needed to be in so it was pitch dark and freezing cold by the time we walked home.

I assign the soon-to-be fourth draft of my research paper. I've impressed doctors before with my illnesses and I've impressed parents with my responsibility, but I've never before completely confounded two writing lecturers as to how a student can write both informally and formally at the same exact time. Apparently I have rewrite the paper again, but before I can do it, my professor and a few other lecturers in the writing department have to figure out what it is I'm supposed to be fixing it.
How did I manage that?!?? It's so frustrating... I also assign being cold.

I consign to Mordor anyone who uses the Assigned to Mordor thread as a multi-user blog-spot ...
Oh, and the little toe-rag who nicked my mobile-phone when he and his friends came round to visit the girl who was baby-sitting for us. Hmm, I believe that I just managed to consign myself to Mordor in the space of a single post.

I assign to Mordor the week before finals week- you know, when everything is due, all at the same time, leaving you weak and unable to focus for finals week.

I assign leaving the long post you wrote on the computer at school because you happen to have no brain, and then spending the next 3 hours diligently (if illegally) trying to hack into the school network from home to get hold of it again.
However, I'll assign succeeding to the Shire!

Fizzix.
Me: "Sir... instead of creating a complex circuit using multimeters, variable resistors and potential dividers, why not just stick an Ohmmeter in there?" Physics teacher: "It doesn't display a grasp of complex physics." So it is that I am utterly failing my needlessly complex physics coursework, which could very easily be replaced by something a five year old could do, for the sole purpose of displaying my knowledge of the complex physics... Casual discrimination from "anti-discriminatory" people. Just because you detest sexism and racism doesn't make you anti-discrimination - it really angers me when governments, of all things, attack the rights of minorities. If somebody suggested that Asians should be denied the right to marry, or that women shouldn't be allowed free surgery on the NHS... I need not finish that sentence. Yet, apparently, gays and obese people don't matter. Also, time being snatched away. And, in addition, BD breaking when you want to post on the ATM thread. |

Ammonia. Especially when you've been assigned that chemical for a class lab experiment. It just reeks of Mordor.

I assign sleeping at inappropriate times no matter how warm and cozy your bed is or how late it was that you made it there because waking up in time for class is one of those semi-important things of pre-finals life.

There are these beings who have an amazing coagulating property of being able to clump together and block up hallways wherever there are more than about five of them. Many hallways are crowded, yes, but in most of them you can actually move at a reasonable speed. Stick these ones in, and all of a sudden - you can't. By themselves, they are bad enough (although exceptions can be and are made), but when they're all together, watch out. I hereby assign highschool freshmen to one year in Mordor.

I assign to Mordor people who use others as a dumping ground for all their "problems" with out ever asking if the other people have problems of their own to deal with.

the researchers are going crazy in mordor. Their latest success is this:
That subtle 'Christmas Spirit' that is in fact a cheap imitation that is bent on subverting teh real Christmas Spirit. It manifests itself in such things as: Fake Chirstmas trees. Christmas sweaters with pom-poms sewn on the front. Fake powdered Christmas drinks. Blow up Christmas things for your yard. how tacky can you get. (it's even worse because they deflate every night, turning into a blob of colored plastic on front laws) Far overdone Christmas decorations. These include large signs, too many, too flashing lights, randomly flashing lights, sleighs on the roof, etc. Not related to Christmas is snow that is threatening to snow you in when you paid 30 bucks for a Trans-Syberian Orgestra ticket, but wouldn't show up a week earlier.

People who constantly, aggrevatingly and exacerbatingly give you directions on how to drive your car when you're doing very well on your own, thank you, and the instructions are only a distraction that increase your probability of having an accident.

Having to travel two hours to go to school tomorrow for a SINGLE class, when I could have started my Christmas break today. Especially when all I'll be doing in that class is listen to my World Lit prof talk about "Antigone" and butt in (at her insistence) every now and then.

My neighbors when they sit up until 1:00 in the morning laughing loudly over who knows what when 23-hour quiet hours for finals week started 2 hours before and I want to sleep. The same people who play music loudly while I'm trying to sleep in and my roommate is trying to study. Other than that, I love them...

I Hate Finals Week!
I send Isaiah and Aristotle...that's all I have to catch up on for my first exam, and I find Isaiah exceedingly dull and Aristotle nearly incomprehensible, PLUS we have a confusing translation. It's miserable! Then I have to memorize a timeline of Greek and Hebrew events. Yuck.

Isaiah? I rather like the book, myself...
Let's see... something to assign to Mordor. The book Catch-22, for being rather redundant and exceedingly difficult to follow and finish. It's humorous, I suppose, but it's not making a lot of sense (I know, it's probably not supposed to) and I really want to have it read by Christmas break (ha! yeah...). And also Napoleon Dynamite, for being just about the dumbest movie ever. |

When, in any Real Time Strategy Game, such as Medieval Total War, the existance of your kingdom depends on the whims of the Megalomaniac Emperor to the North. What's the point in existing only as a puppet empire in all but name?

I assign idiot chavs who think it's so funny to run up behind you and throw jam at you so you have it on your coat and scarf and it's in your hair. However, the feeling that comes from turning around and hitting the chav with the corner of your sledge very, very hard in the shins and erm, shall we say vulnerable bits, is worthy of the Shire
Even so, trying to get the jam out was a painful process for my poor head.

I conassign all the smoke generated by the firecrackers on New Year's Day. Well, at least the odor is not as bad as that of a Chem lab while performing experiments using The Saucepan...I mean, sulfur.

Shows overlapping on TV. I don't even watch T.V. often, but still... 20,000 Leagues under the Sea and Gandhi overlapping is just sad. And their overlapping by 20 minutes is just infuriating...
I mean, Christmas and New Year are meant to be fun, after all. Surely the channels could choreograph their shows? Or something? Sigh. |
