The Shop is no longer Mordor.
I think I will save that name for my language book…. Anyway(it seems as if I use that word often, perhaps I should use some variety.) However(That doesn’t sound good, perhaps I should just go on with my sentence) Out in the shop, I work(unlike what I do elsewhere(I also use a lot of parenthesis.)) and I named it Mordor a bit ago because I didn’t like working there and it seemed appropriate. It was hot, noisy… unpleasant and so forth(I can’t think of any more adjectives(At least I am not identifying every word in the sentence(I do not like doing that))) But now(in what used to be known as Mordor) there is an air-conditioner of— Doom(?) (Doom multiplied by ? =… I am beginning to think algebraically.) It is no longer hot and bothersome out there and I actually enjoy being out there! That is because of the new drill. It goes very fast, and it is grey, so Shadowfax is the ideal name for it. Shadowfax is so much nicer than the Oliphants(I mean heavy, annoying Dewalt drills) I was using. And since Shadowfax wouldn’t want to be in Mordor I have decided to rename the shop Rohan. After-all it does have some strong, tall men working out there(My Dad and Brothers(not Daniel although he is tall he doesn’t work there anymore.)) And a lovely young women who’s name starts with an E(Maybe that is going a bit to far, there isn’t much similarity between Eowyn and Elizabeth(me)) And if you haven’t read the lord of the rings you probably don’t understand most of this so I will explain,
Mordor: The dark Lord’s land. A very evil place full of orcs and monsters. You don’t want to go here.
Rohan: A land is rather nice(Though I would prefer Rivendell, Gondor, and Lothlorian)
Shadowfax: Gandolf’s horse, he is the fastest horse in Middle earth and can go for days at top speed(with short breaks.)
Eowyn: Eowyn is the niece of King Theoden when she is first mentioned, Then she moves on the being the sister of King Eomir, who becomes King after his Uncle dies, and at the last she marries Farimir and she is the only character in the book to have her proposal written out. It all most made up for the fact that Arwen doesn’t get a single line of dialog until the last book and near the end of that.
Oliphant: An oliphant is the predecessor of the Elephant. They are big, heavy(you don’t want on the step on you. Or even fall on you, read Ouch and you will know what I mean when I say that I still have a bruise on my foot.) And this is not a paid advertising for the frequent mention of Dewalt Drills.
And yes, this is a lot of words to say that I like the new drill. It sounds like a race car.
