Yes, right, of course, (smacks forehead with hand) how silly of me to forget your "wonderful" moniker that you "earned".

~You tell everybody that your bow and arrows are from Lothlorien, as gifts from Galadriel

~Your mother has long since given up on telling you that you are not, in fact, an elf

~You're actually considering spending the $40 for the One Ring replica. So what if you can't really afford that?

~You go see a late showing of the movie on a school night

ragamuffin92 · 01-24-2002, 07:46 PM

~You see a guy reaching for his wallet, and you wonder out loud, "What has it gots in its pocketsessss?"

~You tell your astronomy teacher, "That constellation is NOT Orion--it's MENELVAGOR!!! And the evening star is Eärendil with a Silmaril, not Venus. Don't get me started on the sun and the moon! Where did you get your degree, anyway?"

~You tell your zoology professor, "It's OLIPHAUNT!!~ Spelled, 'O-L-I P-H...'well, you can look it up!"

~You terrorize small children with tales about trolls, goblins, wargs, and dragons, just like Bilbo.

~You never go anywhere without your cooking utensils, you call your friends Mr. Joe, Mr. Eddie, Mr. Ken--and you talk about your "Gaffer" a lot.

Wayfarer · 01-24-2002, 08:01 PM

~You walk past one of those fancy crystal displays in the mall, and stop to ask the clewrk if they have palintiri in stock.

~You hear about a volcanic eruption,and are stricken with fear that someone will attempt to forge a ring of power.

~you have done both
~You call youself that rather than your english name

(Wayfarer, you could have added, "You tell people you have an Entish name, but hardly use it, because it takes over twenty minutes to say. And FORGET about a business card!!"

Unlikely, unless you fail to pay proper homage.
From the little while I have been here I think that there is a quiet but detrimined sense of humor at work. Best to just post and not attract to much attention to yourself....

Ahh! no! nnnnoo! I promise... I won't tell Laurelyn anything else.... (colapses on ground, shivering as Administrators walk out of room...)

~You have copies of LotR not just at home but
at Work
at School
in the Car (in case of traffic jam)

~You suggest at the next PTO that LotR should be required reading.

Wayfarer · 01-24-2002, 08:58 PM

what are you saying? that it shouldn't?

markedel · 01-24-2002, 10:22 PM

You know Eomer's name in rhorric and can name all the hobbits in westron with proper pronunciation.

Renille · 01-24-2002, 10:28 PM

-If you go insane because you accidentaly leave your Lord of the Rings book in your locker all weekend. (guilty)
-If as soon as you get BACK to school, you fly up to the locker, grab the book out, hug it, and say "Precioussss...my preciousss...you are not lost...gollum....we have found you at lassst."
-If people stare at you because of the scene you're making.
-If people do NOT stare at you because they're used to it!
-If you grab magic 8 balls (palantiri) away from people.

FrodoFriend · 01-25-2002, 12:57 AM

- You hear the world 'Enron' and think 'Elrond'

- When you want to go through a door, you say 'Mellon' and expect it to open for you.

- You seriously think your really short substitute teacher is a hobbit (she can't be more than 4' 5"! And only a hobbit could get that old!)

- You prefer six meals a day, when you can get them.

- You hang around construction sites just so you can sit in the big cement tubes and pretend they're hobbit holes.

- You frequently use the words 'fey,' 'fell,' 'passed.'

- Whenever you see water, you sing the Bath Song.

Starr Polish · 01-25-2002, 01:08 AM

- You tell your parents you'll be home around eleven, and don't get home until around two because you decided that you wanted to see the movie AGAIN

- When you sneak back in, you try to be as quiet as a hobbit, or even better, an elf

- When you're caught, you grope frantically in your pocket for your 'precioussss'

- You get upset when you can't find leather bound LOTR books

- You're angry that the only FOTR book to be found is used and about thirty years old, with a water stained paperback cover

- You end up explaining the movie to your father, who has read the books and you haven't

- You nearly cry when you find that the library doesn't have all twelve HoME books. They don't have any.

- You hate the econo-clad books your school library has. The art work on them is horrendous. Gandalf is dressed in white on the cover of FOTR

Laurelyn · 01-25-2002, 07:11 AM

~Your printer REALLY NEEDS a new ink cartridge due to all the pics you've printed out, and while you're busy printing out more it prints tham all in red b/c there isn't any other color left.
~You are willing to suffer the torture your parents will nbo doubt put you through when they hear you've killed the ink cartridge so you can get a new one.
~They decide that the ultimate torture will be to not let you see the movie for a week. The horror!
~You sneak out and see the movie anyways.

Arathorn · 01-25-2002, 03:55 PM

~when you have at least 5 copieses each of the Hobbit, LOTR, the Silmarillion, and Unfinished Tales: 1 for personal reading, 1 in the US$700 isobaric safe, and 1 to lend friends. The other 2 are there in case they pretend to "forget" borrowing it. In that case, KEEP RECOVERING STOCKS!

~when you starts saving up for 3 copieses of the DVDses, nice DVDses

~When you finally go to work after 6 in the morning with an umbrella and your jacket'ses hood up because "you hates the yellow face"

~when you gets hit with muddy from speeding cab and yell at it " We hates it! We hates it forever!"

~when you gets lung cancer after staying off cigaretteses for most of your life simply because you unsuccessfully tries to smoke shipses out of your mouthy.

~when you get beaten up by big oafy guy in a bar because you stepps in front of him and says: "YOU CANNOT PASS!"

~when you and friendses play 'name that tune' and you come up with: "Hoo Hrum hoom hoo hrum hoom"

....why does we speak this way?

noldorlord · 01-25-2002, 04:44 PM

You insist on calling your children hobbits instead of toddlers.

If you have twin boys you call them elrond and elros

If you have seven sons you name them after the seven sons of Feanor

You get your seven sons to call you Feanor and make them promise that if the family heirloom is stolen they must hunt down the person who has it, whether it is the theif who stole it, or the policeman who is returning it.

Laurelyn · 01-25-2002, 05:46 PM

Lol, noldorlord.

~You send Elijah Wood fanmail addressed to Frodo Baggins.
~You write your homework papers in Elvish
~Or you type them in the Tengwar lettering

ragamuffin92 · 01-25-2002, 05:58 PM

~You read this thread as if it's a suggestion box, and find yourself saying things like--

Hmmm, now THERE'S an idea! Should have thought of that one myself...

Twin sons, Elrond and Elros. Good idea...

Seven sons named after the sons of Feanor...
Oh, HONEY, can we talk?"

Laurelyn · 01-25-2002, 06:05 PM

~You "accidentally" put a big Lotr pic up on your desktop as wallpaper.

Actually, I just did that. Heehee.

Laurelyn · 01-25-2002, 06:06 PM

Btw, ragamuffin92, lol.
