A few ways to tell if you are obsessed with LOTR - Page 43

Ephel Duath · 12-22-2004, 04:56 PM

My friends are actually starting to get intrested in what I am rambling about and are reading the books. I am so proud of them.

Rosie Gamgee · 12-22-2004, 05:06 PM

Wow. Wish I had friends like that.

Actually, most of my friends are already obsessed with LotR- just more the PJ kind of LotR.

Yep, me too. Happens easily. I try to avoid it, but a lot does resemble LotR.

Yeah, lol. Happens to me all the time. Then I feel awkward for a second, then half the time I just keep going.

I don't even have friends like that!

Pytt · 12-23-2004, 04:56 PM

some of my friends have read the book, some part of it, and everybody has seen the movies, but they are not into it like I am.

Ephel Duath · 12-23-2004, 07:06 PM

Not all of my friends have seen the movies, which suprises me. A lot of them are more into... Milder things, and think LotR is too violent. Oh well.

ethuiliel · 12-24-2004, 01:21 AM

You know you're obsessed when a friend makes you and your friends hair scrunchies for Christmas and you pick the one who's fabric she describes as "cows jumping over moons" not because of the nursery rhyme but because you immediately think of the song Frodo sings in the Prancing Pony.

Ephel Duath · 12-24-2004, 04:35 PM

Thats a good one. Hmm.. at the moment my creativity has run dry. I had one to post, I will post it when I remember it.

me9996 · 12-25-2004, 07:50 PM

Here I go again...

1. You get the lord of the ring board game and try to take over the world with the fake elven rings provided.

2. You take a stick, a fake beard, and a bathrobe and start calling yourself a wizzard.

3. You think you are a hobbit.

me9996 · 12-27-2004, 09:42 PM

Okay here is some more...

1. You start sing nonsence all hours of the day (Like tom bombadill)
2. You are convenced you are a rohirim (that's a rider of rohan for those who don't know)
3. You apply for a job as a park ranger and start hanging around the park in a green cloke looking for orcs...
4. And you find one!
5. You have come up with a number of LotR to stuffed animal cat games equivalints and mixes. (Gilty

)

ItalianLegolas · 12-29-2004, 12:23 PM

how about this...
1. every ring you see you destroy
2. when you see a spider, you scream, "AH, SHELOB/UNGOLIANT!"
3. you've memorized "the RIng Poem", one ring to rule them all, one ring to find them...
4. you are convinced that Morgoth was behind 9/11

barrelrider110 · 12-29-2004, 12:46 PM

When you tell your family that you don't expect to depart anytime soon but just in case you do you want them to play "Into the West" at your funeral.

Rosie Gamgee · 12-29-2004, 01:06 PM

That's funny.

Or when you'd seriously entertain the idea of playing that 'Farewell to Lorien' number as the processional at your wedding.

I'd do that too, except I'm already married.

LoL. I'm sure your wife's happy about that.

ItalianLegolas · 01-01-2005, 02:25 PM

what, that he didn't have the chance to play 'Farewell to Lorien' at his wedding?? thats not something to be happy about...

me9996 · 01-01-2005, 08:33 PM

Here I go again...

1. You start nameing stuff after lotr things (ie: orcs, hobbits, elfs, dwarfs...)
2. You have a ring that can make you invisable (You got it on e-bay)
3. You think you saw that tree outside your window move.

4. You have come up with odd combanations that aren't in the book.

me9996 · 01-01-2005, 08:36 PM

Examples for my last post:

Wraith wizzard (wizzard that has been turned into a wraith)
Cork (cat-orc)
Light orc (elf like orc)

1. Or rather keep it, being unable to keep it away.
2. *sigh* Guilty.
3. Guilty.
4. ...
He teamed with What's His Face? That explains a lot...
