LOTR Ways to Wake Someone Up

Mistabella · 12-21-2002, 10:06 AM

Just wondering how many ways there are to wake up a snoring (or not, I know you're an elf) Tolkien fan. Here are a few I've made up:
1. Stand by their bed and shout, "THE NAZGUL IS COMING!"
2. Curse the stiff necks of dwarves in their ear--this only works if they're a dwarf, though.
3. Call, "Forth Eorlingas"--EXTREMELY loudly--outside their window.
4. Gently inform them that they have fourteen visitors for tea and they'd better get the kettle on quick.
5. Softly chant, "my preccccciousssss" in their ear. NOTE: This may provoke a violent reaction, so step back after doing this.
6. Yell, "The counsellor's coming!"(this is a joke from a thread long perished)
7. Perform the One Ring To Rule Them All sequence in English and its original.
8. Yell, "stay back! I will do the stinging!" to your invisible comrades and whistle your sword above the sleeping fan's head.
9. Put them in a leaky barrel and send it floating down the nearest river.

Ello!

I caught the TLA reference, Mistabella. Thanks. This is wonderful! And Entmoot knows I love funny lists.

Now we start counting down how long it takes the Admins to move this to Middle Earth. I'm reminded vaguely of myself.

Oh, and Elenka? If you're listening? Send Mistabella a PM. She's cool.

10: Say "fissh" in their ear. If they don't wake up, it's safe for you to sleep without danger of becoming dinner.
11: Threaten to toss them in Orodruin's fires.
12: Threaten to toss their One Ring replica in Orodruin's fires (but watch your fingers).
13: Screech like a Nazgul in their ear.
14: If the sleeping person is a dwarf, threaten to drag them to Fangorn. If this results in some kind of insistence on you visiting the Glittering Caves of Aglarond as well, agree.

15:Tell them that you will now sing the story of Frodo and Sam.
16: Hold a slightly twisted conversation with yourself. We all know they will be awake to hear it. If they mutter, "What's the time?" and pretend to have just woken up? Well . . . pretend you believe them.
17: Recite the scene from ROTK with Eowyn and the Witch-king.
18: Run to them and beg for Athelas. If they're curious, inform them that their beloved pet/sibling/parent/friend/significant other has encountered a Nazgul.
19: Hiss in hte Black Speech. *ugh*

lol!
I've tried the preciousssss one! The reaction is funny!

I've also done the Nazgul one and that works extremely well!

and if you do it when it's really dark and drum your hands on something to make it sound like a horse! Then it works a treat!

durin's bane · 12-22-2002, 04:17 PM

Clash metal together and say you're fighting a balrog.
Or say, "Oh no, Gimli farted!"

Falagar · 12-22-2002, 05:10 PM

Cry out: "Arwen is standing outside and wants to speak with you!" (Works only on guys, try a Legolas version on girls)

Coney · 12-22-2002, 05:36 PM

In your best Elvish accent shout: If you want him, come and take him

Then throw a bucket of water over those you wish to be woken, horse sound effects are optional.

Falagar · 12-22-2002, 05:48 PM

23.Cry: "Luthien is dancing naked in your garden!" (instead of "Arwen wants to speak with you". Use Legolas on girls)
24. Cast a "open"-spell on the door by kicking it in.
25. Cast (=shout really loud) a "wake-up"-spell in quenya.

Laurelyn · 12-22-2002, 07:10 PM

26: Sing Gollum's fish song. Preferably about as in-key and beautiful (cough) as in the movie. (if you haven't seen the movie, let's put it his way: Gollum can't sing.)
To build on COney's idea: Say, "Nin o Hithaeglir lasta beth daer, rhimmo . . . " and then trail off and start asking loudly where Glorfindel is. Will annoy and wake anyone who hated the Flight to the Ford scene in the FotR movie. Or say, "What's this? A ranger, caught of his guard?" NOTE: If you do this, hide, as flying objects may leave marks.
27: Set off their alarm clock. What, that's not a Lord of the Rings way? Well . . . my alarm clock sounds like a Nazgul, anyways.
28: Dump them in a bathtub and pretend to be the Watcher in the Water. (nothing gross intended, I promise)
29: Annoy them by saying "mordor" the way Elijah Wood does. He always leaves off the r's.
30: Sing "May it be" in their ear. Very loudly. (works best if they don't like Enya)
31: Threaten to take them to see the Two Towers. This will either wake them up quickly and have htem begging for you to follow through on that, or will wake them up screaming and begging you not to.

WiseWizard · 12-22-2002, 08:01 PM

32. Start banging on a drum and say "They are coming!"
33. Push them out of bed, say something along the lines of "This foe is beyond your power! RUN!" Push them out of their bedroom, slam the door, tell them to keep running, and once they're out of sight yell "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!" and somehow disappear before they can find you again. Then a very poor and melodramtic shot of a tear rolling down the fan's face will be necessary.
34. Tap them on the shoulder and place an intricate elvish sword in front of their eyes. They will either scream because you have a sword, or follow your every command because they want that sword. Or both. (same with axes for dwarves, Sting for Hobbits, etc.)

katya · 12-23-2002, 12:25 AM

Hey this is funny! Mistabella you rock for starting this thread.

* Blow the horn of gondor in their ear loudly
* Say "Balrogs do/do not have wings" and maybe they will hear it in their subconsious and will have to wake up and argue with you.

Lanelf · 12-23-2002, 12:29 AM

My favourite way? POKE THEM!!!

So, it's not LOTRy, who cares? Ok, everyone, so here's some LOTR ones:
-Perform the infamous Nazgul Scream from the movie
-say, "I think you should get off the bed" then when they don't respond start yelling "get off the bed! Quick!"
-perform the Evil Laugh in their ear with a background voice of the Ring Chant (black speech version)
-Switch on the CD player and put the beginning of the FOTR soundtrack #13 - the Bridge of Khazad-Dum on. Watch them bolt upright!

-Set fire to their hair. Even if it's not very lotr, it's fun!

Note: Do not try these at home without proper training. It can be dangerous to both the victim and the perpetrator. Learn to duck.

Duddun · 12-23-2002, 12:37 AM

I'm at a friends house so I can try them right?? Ok, I will. Just a sec...Ooops I forgot to turn this off before going to the hospital for my broken nose and burned hand. And them...They are still in the hospital. I don't think we will be friends anymore.

Starr Polish · 12-23-2002, 01:32 AM

Variation on 30: Or Gollum's Song...

BeardofPants · 12-23-2002, 01:52 AM

Caress their big toe, while whispering, "My Preciousssss..." Helps if you can get that manic look down.

Alternatively, BITE their big toe after shouting "fishessss."

Duddun · 12-23-2002, 01:53 AM

If they are short...
35. Hold a cup of water and say: "Drink up, It's ent draught, you need some"
Anyone...
36. Take a fake "The One Ring" and put it on and say "It is mine, I claim it!"

WiseWizard · 12-23-2002, 03:40 AM

Take their replica of the one ring, rig an axe to break apart easily, place the ring upon their stomach, and scream "I will destroy it!" as you lift the axe above your head and bring it down. And now that they're petrified, be just as pertrified when you "realize" that the axe has broken to shards while the ring remains undamaged. Could work as a good party prank.

If it's a girl, whisper in their ear: "Legolas has passed into the shadows."
If a guy replace Legolas with Arwen. This may produce mixed results, however, as I know many fans of the book who are guys and would like to see Arwen thrown down into the fiery pits of hell for being in a movie she didn't belong in.
