You Know You Like Tolkien Too Much When . . . - Page 4

Thrain of the Shire · 01-26-2002, 11:45 AM

love your ones Laurelyn!

even more:

- when you leap on people at the table next to you in the restaurant because you overhear them saying that Hobbits are stupid (yes, this happened -- my brother still won't go out with me now)
- when your rebuttal of those people consists of ten very specific examples to contradict their perception
- when you actually KNOW the names of all five istari

- when your hardest problem is deciding which of the five istari names to give to your two cats and then start thinking that maybe you had better get more cats....

You sned in nitpicky e-mails to tolkien fan websites because they're fine points don't agree with you

Laurelyn · 01-26-2002, 11:48 AM

What are the names of the five Istari anyway? I gotta go read the books again . . .

ragamuffin92 · 01-26-2002, 11:51 AM

~People laugh at you in the office, because you say things like, "They need this right away. I'll Shadowfax it--uhhhh, I mean FAX it..."

Laurelyn · 01-26-2002, 11:54 AM

Great one, ragamuffin!!

~You get bombarded with emails every day because you signed up for a Tolkien newsletter and a bunch of worthless other companies somehow got your name . . . But you endure this for the newsletter.

ragamuffin92 · 01-26-2002, 11:59 AM

You walk up to the clerk in a subway booth and say, "Three TOLKIENS, please."
(For those who don't know, in many cities, in order to ride the subway/tube/metro/underground, you have to purchase a token.)
Thx, Laurelyn!

Laurelyn · 01-26-2002, 12:10 PM

Hee hee. Once again, you are FUNNY!!!!! Ok, anyway. But I like the "Three Tolkiens, please . . ." thing. That's great.

~You tell your mom that, "No, I have no idea where that picture came from," when she finally notices the pic you stuck on the desktop.
~ You are seriously considering plastic surgery so that you have look like a hobbit.

ragamuffin92 · 01-26-2002, 12:17 PM

~or, you're not insulted when people say that you don't NEED plastic surgery because you already look like a hobbit.

Thrain of the Shire · 01-26-2002, 12:20 PM

you walk EVERYWHERE barefoot because you are certain you ARE a hobbit (that was a long time ago...a very long time ago)

you get sent to your room because you reply to every question of your parents in Elvish

you run away from home and they find you at the railway station trying to use your pocket money to buy a one way ticket to Hobbiton.....

Thrain of the Shire · 01-26-2002, 12:26 PM

- when you are excited to see you have one hundred emails in your inbox -- and even MORE excited when you see that 98 of them are from Entmoot!!!!

ragamuffin92 · 01-26-2002, 12:30 PM

~Whenever your boss (or your parents or your spouse) accuse you of being a screw-up, you respond with, "All that is gold does not glitter..."

Liviaine · 01-26-2002, 01:57 PM

~You think some motorcyclists dressed in black are the Ringwraiths.

I was at a gas station once, and I thought that.

Arathorn · 01-26-2002, 03:56 PM

~when you have your name officially changed to...Laurelyn

emplynx · 01-26-2002, 04:39 PM

~when you wonder why you have to read any thing in school lit classes other than LotR. (Guilty)

***Earniel*** · 01-26-2002, 06:19 PM

When you start to tear down your old door to replace it by one of those cosy round hobbitdoors.

When you start calling your swiss army knife Anduril

When you get the sudden urge to run to the middle of bridges and yell YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!

I want to do the first one and I definitely have had the urge to do the second.

Heck, I should do that. Good idea.

Nameless · 01-27-2002, 12:16 AM

~When you spend money on Tolkien books and LotR collectables and on seeing the movie instead of on paying your mortgage, bills, etc. And heck, who needs to eat anyway?

CardenIAntauraNauco · 01-27-2002, 12:24 AM

There's a small golden statue of tolkien in your front room set in front of an altar table and a fire pit.

ragamuffin92 · 01-27-2002, 12:34 AM

~You attack a bartender when he says "Would you like that whiskey sour on the rocks?" because all you hear is "sour on"
