Could you really eat Frodo, though? He's so cute! (Yes, I'm talking about the book, where he's described as 'fairer than most'.) I wonder what Sauron or Shelob would taste like? (See, I didn't say Aragorn, did I?)
Actually, Lin, I've seen LOTR chocolates here. There's packets with (movie) Frodo, Aragorn, Legolas, ect. on the front. And yes, I did buy a chocolate block once because it had Aragorn on the front.

Here are a few more. Hugs to my friends on the barrowdowns for helping me think these up!
-You get up and unexpectedly leave the house and when you return, say that you were suddenly summoned to a secret council in Rivendell. -You go into the movies and the salesclerk behind the counter says "The Usual" -When you or your friends has to go to the principal's office, you say, "One cannot simply walk into the office. There is evil there that does not sleep." -During the school band concert, one of the songs brings Rohan to mind...this one happened to me actually. -You watch movies just because cast members from Lord of the Rings are in it.

You insist to every guy you know that if they just let their hair grow a little longer and curlier and maybe developed a slight accent... You make your own magic staff. You wait endlessly while posting on entmoot for your Narya!!!! Your friends e-mail you pictures of eagles because you are trapped on Orthanc You begin to wonder what Shelob would taste like because you saw a post about chocolate LOTR characters on the moot somewhere

You know you're obsessed with LotR when you play Warcraft III or another computer game and you give your units LotR names or names of fellow 'Mooters.
(Totday, I called a lizard in Warcraft III Lizra )

I was strongly tempted to name my characters from Tolkien's works (my Centaur is actually named Glenstorm), but I decided to be more original.
Then I went and named my Scout (archer) Cuthalion Strongbow.

When you are sitting at a band concert at school with your class, and the directer comes up and says "The first pease that we will hear played by the 8th grade band, you will probally reconise if you have been to see many movies in the past year or so. This pease is taken from snippits of diffrent songs from The Lord of the Rings" and every one in your class that isn't in band turns around and looks at you. Later while talking to a friend, she informs you that a couple people in her class wisperd your name when this was said.

When at state contest for choir and band you see that the last band is playing "Gandalf" and you yearn to stay until nearly 10 PM just to hear that song.

Sometimes I download random music because either the name of the song or the band sounds LotRish, or, even better, it is about LotR.

When you and your other LOTR freak friend get a duet in a song that reminds you of hobbits, you find a big poster of Frodo to hold up while singing We are doing this tonight

You turn to people randomly and quote elvish lines which scares everyone you say it to.
Eventually the entire student body/co-workers are no longer surprised to hear ur elvish lines and are begining to expect it. You constantly duct tape ur ears to a point

You have a four hour Saturday detention, and you forgot your book. To pass the time you imagine the battle of Helm's Deep, every detail.
You ever had this nightmare: A teacher finally found out you've been mooting all the time in her class, so you walk in one day and she wrote "NO ENTMOOT IN CLASS" on the board. You wake up sweating.

When you hold up sighns with Gollum quotes on it instead of talking to your sister.

When you get really annoyed when you see 'dwarves' written as 'dwarfs'. I saw that spelling in the paper the other day (specifically related to Tolkien) and it really annoyed me.
I know dwarfs is the proper spelling, but I think it should be changed!

I agree! To me "dwarfs" is a verb, as in "the huge pine dwarfs the small statue." I don't see it as a noun at all.
Related experience, the other day I was doing a crossword puzzle, and the clue was "elves". I had no idea what it was until I filled in practically all the letters with the other clues. The answer was "dwarfs"! The very fact that that pissed me off inicates LotR obsessed-ness. ;D
