What are we called? - Page 4

Sminty_Smeagol · 11-29-2002, 04:39 PM

I do not think i would be able to remember EIDRIORCQWSDAKLMEDDCWWTIWOATTOPWFIO's (And it's pronunciation and original meaning) to describe myself to someone else. Perhaps we could shorten it... Perhaps so it follows the pattern of vowell/consonant...

EDIRAKEDIWOTOPI

and maybe shortening that somehow. Of course, nobody would get it, but other Mooters would know... we could get a cult sort of thing going!
hmmm... using the above ^ we could use every other vowell/consonant... EREWOP

Hm? Pointless rambling. Oh well. Just me thinking about distortion of words and such. Nobody listen to little old me!

I am not one of those ppl that everybody knows that I like LOTR. So i am just a normal person that just so happens to like LOTR.

Now for my friend and her sister i use a pretty nice word that covers it all.

obsessed

(Erin or your sister, if you see this, ya know i luv ya! LOL)

I'm confused Bropus, that anagram has been part of your name for a while. Did you guys collaberate in coming up with that? Or did it already exist?

I've always like "Tolkienites" personally.

BeardofPants · 12-01-2002, 03:35 AM

It's not an anagram. It's an acronym.

I always go by Tolkienites as well.

Arathorn · 12-01-2002, 08:33 AM

Well, we could call ourselves Tolkientistas but it would sound like a latin american guerilla movement.

Starr Polish · 12-01-2002, 12:52 PM

I usually go by "Tolkienite", "Ringer" or "That Wierd Girl That's Into Short People With Hairy Feet".

**Nurvingiel** · 12-01-2002, 01:30 PM

I really am confused... I was thinking acronym when I said it. So... where is it from?

TinuvielChild · 12-01-2002, 06:12 PM

This is an old thread. This is the thread where that acronym originated, back in the fires of January 2002. Bropous has EIDRIORCWSDAKLMEDDCWWTIWOATTOPWFIO as his title because he's the one that came up with it, way back before I joined. Yeah.

bropous · 12-01-2002, 07:43 PM

What she said.

Go back and read the early posts on this thread, that should clear things up.

**Nurvingiel** · 12-02-2002, 03:21 AM

I see (said the blind man)... thanks for your patience with my slow learning!

JK. Anyway, this is what I would call an epic thread!

TinuvielChild · 12-05-2002, 04:44 PM

Hey, Bropous, you'd be amazed at what you've begun! I've seen at least two other people who've got things like the EIDRIORCQWSDAKLMEDDCQWWTIWOATTOPWFIO in their signatures, only different:

"SOTWRAIIMLFWTICWIAAWEPAAHAADWIWTBABIIF!

Translation: SneakingOffToReadWriteAndImagineInMyLittleFantasyW
orldThatICreatedWhereIAmAWarriorElfPrincessAnAdven
turousHobbitAndADunedanWheneverIWantToBeAndBoyIsIt
Fun!"

from The Ringbearer

and there was one awhile ago in someone else's signature; I can't for the life of me remember whose, though. See the effect your creative insanity has had?!?

Nibs · 12-05-2002, 04:57 PM

Could be a coincidence...

Ususally I just use 'Tolkienfan'. Pretty unimaginative, I know. But then at least they know what you mean and don't think that you have some new strange desease.

Aeryn · 12-08-2002, 08:35 PM

aliquantulus capillatus bipes devotus

Little Hairy Feet Devotees (Hobbit)

I believe that is the correct errr...Latin.

I was hoping for ABCD but it's ACBD oh well!

Although hats off to bropous for EIDRIORCQWSDAKLMEDDCQWWTIWOATTOPWFIO

Or perhaps.

This could become my new hobby.

I have alot of time on my hands.

Lanelf · 12-09-2002, 05:20 AM

I heard "Tolkieniacs" once on a webpage...
How about Weird Obsessive People? WOP! (Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy anyone?)
I'm generally referred to as a Geek or Nerd, but that could be because my casual reading is thicker than my dictionary and I watch Science Fiction all night and spend all my lunchtimes on computers... I take it as a noble title.
Hey... Anyone got the Silmarillion? At the back there's an appendix of Elements in Elvish names... maybe there's something meaning "obsessive" and "ring" and stuff?

Arathorn · 12-09-2002, 05:48 AM

Well, Professor T. once called people who were obsessed with his works as "my deplorable cultus"...

But it only applied to people who've obsessed about LOTR and the Hobbit back in the 60s and 70s which is not too many of us here.

Lizra · 12-09-2002, 08:43 AM

"Hobbit head" is stuck in my mind, I'm a "hobbit head". Goes back to high school, If you were a hippie, one of the slang terms that referred to you was "head". Head's often were high, so their "heads" were different! This is not related to the military term for toilet, as in I gotta "hit the head"!

Also hippies were "freaks" so I could be a Hobbit freak just as easily!

Elf.Freak · 12-09-2002, 11:49 AM

Tolkienites!

Fellowship fans!

I always thought of us as Tolkienites.

Go back and read the early posts on this thread, that should clear things up. __________________ "...[The Lord of the Rings] is to exemplify most clearly a recurrent theme: the place in 'world politics' of the unforeseen and unforeseeable acts of will, and deeds of virtue of the apparently small, ungreat, fogotten in the places of the Wise and Great (good as well as evil). A moral of the whole (after the primary symbolism of the Ring, as the will to mere power, seeking to make itself objective by physical force and mechanism, and so also inevitably by lies) is the obvious one that without the high and noble the simple and vulgar is utterly mean; and without the simple and ordinary the noble and heroic is meaningless."
