You Know You Like Tolkien Too Much When . . . - Page 3

Starr Polish · 01-25-2002, 06:35 PM

When studying for you World History test, you say Catherine of Aragorn instead of Catherine of Aragon. Yup, I"m guilty of this one just today!

Laurelyn · 01-25-2002, 07:03 PM

Funny one, starr polish!

ragamuffin92 · 01-25-2002, 07:32 PM

Thanks. I take that a great compliment, since the post you wrote to open this thread is probably the funniest thing I've read on this mootsite, so far.

Laurelyn · 01-25-2002, 07:47 PM

Wow, really??!Thanks!

ragamuffin92 · 01-25-2002, 08:02 PM

Why of COURSE,really, Laurelyn!. Would I lie to someone I've never met?

(Truthfully, I laughed my face off at a lot of the posts on this thread, but your first one is my favorite. Great idea for a topic.)

Arathorn · 01-25-2002, 08:08 PM

BTW, are there any restrictions for potential immigrants to midd.. er new zealand? can i live off the land or will i be required to find a professional job there too like what i have now?

just asking....

ragamuffin92 · 01-25-2002, 08:25 PM

You may want to keep your Tolkienish affiliations and tendencies under wraps, in case they get swamped with hordes of our brethren and decide to give you all the old hob-nailed boot off the island.

Laurelyn · 01-25-2002, 08:43 PM

Well thank you very much, Ragamuffin92. I'll admit my first post had the most inspiration for me- it was all new ideas.
Oh, and Arathorn: I never thought of moving to New Zealand . . .Good idea . . . . *Yells down the stairs* "Hey, Mom! Can we move?"

~You decide that Weathertop sounds like a good place to live.
~When you move there, though, you are constantly afraid that a Nazgul will stab the heck out of you, so you end up moving over to Rivendell.
~You write letters to your friends at home saying, "My life has been almost fulfilled. I found a portal to Middle-Earth, and I'm living there now. But I will only be completely satisfied when I have seen the next two movies"
~You recieve a letter back from your friends telling you that you are actually in a hospital for the Tolkien Obsessors who finally cracked and went nuts.
~You're not really surprised that you did crack and go nuts.

Starr Polish · 01-25-2002, 08:55 PM

I also heard a lot of people say "Catherine of Argon"...she may be noble, but she's not a gas! (groan, for all you people that passed chemistry)

- When you stay up past two in the morning on a day you have a test so you can finish 'just one more chapter'

- When your friends who tried really hard to convince you Tolkien wasn't so bad get sick of you talking about it, so you come crying to Entmoot

- When you're determined to learn any Elvish even though you can hardly understand your Spanish teacher!

- When you close your closet door when someone suggested that Gollum lives in the basement (my room is in the basement)

- When you laugh out loud at the 'bath scene' in the middle of a crowded study hall...you don't really want to explain it to everyone.

Starr Polish · 01-25-2002, 08:58 PM

Just came up with some more

-Claim you're a hobbit, until you realize your feet are much too small

-Then claim you're a dwarf, until you realize you don't have a beard

-Claim you're a 'vertically challenged elf' Pointy ears are still debatable

- You actually have debates over things like whether elves have pointy ears (they do, in my mind's eye)

Arathorn · 01-25-2002, 09:00 PM

'guess your right 92. I might even go bonkers with all them sheep.

back to the topic...

~when during your wedding day you get cold feet and decide to keep the ring for yourself and yell at your mate:

"It's mine I tell you!"

and then pat him/her and the priest on the back and say:

"Just kidding, nice hobbitses"

Thrain of the Shire · 01-25-2002, 09:28 PM

Oh I like that one!!

For me? Well, it's when I was moving this Spring and discovered that although I have a wonderful range of books (1000 or so) -- 10% of them were by Tolkien.

Yep, 100 Tolkien books right there in the boxes.

Throw them away? What? Who are you and what are you doing here?

No, they are all safely in boxes ready for my final home...well, not THAT final I hope....

just safe from the Sackville-Bagginses....

Thrain of the Shire · 01-25-2002, 09:41 PM

another sign could be that on a Friday night at 2.40am I am posting messages on this board!!!!

Feraway Hawkbriar · 01-25-2002, 09:59 PM

~ After shooting is over, you steal all the prosthetic silicon hobbit feet and ears, Hire a super forces of makeup artists then kidnap everyone in your town and forces them all to wear the feet and ears. Then you make the mayor rename your town hobbiton and make a new law that "men" (IE anyone who aint wearing the feet or ears) cant come into "hobbiton"

Now thats devotion.

FrodoFriend · 01-26-2002, 01:16 AM

Hmmm . . . that's a good idea, Feraway.

You Know You're Obsessed When:

- You call your 70-year-old French teacher 'Gandalf' and try to get him to grow a beard.

- You call factories 'devilry of Saruman'.

- You paint pictures of the Shire and Lothlorien on your room and your face is bruised from running into the wall.

- You insist on stopping at every tavern you pass to look for Pippin.

ragamuffin92 · 01-26-2002, 01:37 AM

~You STILL haven't stopped popping into the local tobacconist shop to ask if the Longbottom Leaf you ordered has come in yet. The years of negative responses haven't discouraged you.

Pailan · 01-26-2002, 11:17 AM

~You grow your beard long and start braiding it.

~You look for plastic surgeons who will do elf ears.

~You wear fifty yards of black cloth when you go horse back riding.

And how about this one...

~You go into a restaraunt and order a brace of young coneys-stewed with herbs, thank you very much.

Laurelyn · 01-26-2002, 11:23 AM

Yikes! I get some sleep for the night and look what happens while I'm sleeping! These are great!!!!!

~You take horseback riding lessons just so you can tell your horse, "Noro lim, noro lim, Asfaloth!"
~You name your silver car Shadowfax
~Then you paint a large picture of Gandalf across the front of it
~You stay up really late and get up really early, just so you can be on Entmoot. . . Regardless of te fact that you're in a horse show the next day and you need sleep to win *Guilty. Very guilty*
~You do the same the night before a test in school
~You tell your parents that they must have switched your paper with Gollum's in an attempt to explain your awful grade
~You finally get a new printer cartridge and you then promptly print out more pictures!! *Just did this*
~Your pictures need reprinting again becuase they're all so blurred with kisses by now
~You absentmindedly wonder how the kisses got there, and then realize that since they're pictures of (put fav. character's name here) you must have been the one who kissed them.
~You print more, and kiss those too
~You wonder then why on earth your fellow Mooters are thinking that you're bonkers
~You deduce, using your tired mind, that it's probably b/c you do other things than Entmoot
~They have to yell at you for ages before you realize whether you're wrong or right
~You still, however, refuse to go to sleep. Entmoot's so much more fun, really!

Laurelyn · 01-26-2002, 11:26 AM

~You get really annoyed when your local jewelry shop doesn't have the leaf-brooch you wanted.
~You also get annoyed when the fabric store doesn't have Elven Cloth in grey, only in the green from the movie
