~When you do your weekly grocery shopping, you search the aisles for lembas!

markedel · 01-27-2002, 10:18 AM

You got to local arbortiums and look for a seedling of Nimloth the fair. But the owner looks at you funny.

Laurelyn · 01-27-2002, 11:40 AM

These are great!!!I was laughing really hard when I read some of them!! "Nice fissssh, nice fisshes . . ."

Here's some more:

~You complain that you wish you had some of Galadriel's magic dust for your plants, because however much you love plants you still have a black thumb
~You take tyhe time to tell your mother the story of the Hobbit just so you can tell her a joke
~If she doesn't get it, you tell her to read the books.
~You post so many time on a list like this you lose all your inspiration *yep. That's me*
~You are outraged whenever your friend tells you that he STILL hasn't seen the movie.

Oh, and thrain of the shire, here's some "birthday requests"
~Your ideal "Birthday-present" is the one Ring . . . My preciousssss . . .
~ Then you tell whoever's wanting to know what you'd like for your birthday that it has to make you disappear, too, and it has to be evil, and it must result in a quest w/ a ferllowship to Orodruin to destroy it.

Laurelyn · 01-27-2002, 11:48 AM

THE FUNNY ONES RIGHT HERE DID NOT ORIGINATE WITH ME!!!!! But I thought they were hilarious so I'm posting them . . . however they did not in this case start from my demented mind.

Ok, for the below I give all credit to sp@stc-@ustr@l@n, who is a user on FanFiction.net

~You introduce yourself as “I am ......... son/daughter of .........” Fill in the blanks.
~You swear on Tolkien's grave you're an elf. "See these pointy ears? Wonder why I'm livin' so long?"
~You search newspapers and magazines for even a mere mention of Lotr. *I, Laurelyn, am guilty of this*
~You stalk and harass the reviewer who gave Lotr 2 1/2 stars, and you send him hate mail.
~You can quote most of the first chapter of LotR.
~You'd willingly pay up to own rights to all Lotr.

Rána Eressëa · 01-27-2002, 12:46 PM

~~ When you can't open a door you find yourself yelling, "Mellon!"
~~ You insist your features plainly make you of Elf ancestory.
~~ If someone tries entering your room, you hold up a long stick and say, "You cannot pass!"
~~ You wear a ring around a chain on your neck and never take if off (unless you take a shower).
~~ "It's not marijuana! It's Hobbit-weed!"
~~ You've accidently called your teacher Mr. Frodo.
~~ You insist your grandfather is Gandalf in Disguise.
~~ You tell people you've visited foreign places like Eriador, Gondor, Rohan, etc.

How about twelve hours of free time? Mmmm yes...I must see the movie again.

-When you've seen the movie so many times your mother refuses to pay for your tickes (but I've only seen it twice

~~ You chase Little People around and ask them if they know where Frodo is.

~~ You chase Little People around and ask them if they have any Hobbit-weed.

~~ You chase old men around and ask them why'd they replace their staffs with canes.

Nameless · 01-27-2002, 08:02 PM

~You are at your best friends wedding, and when they exchange rings, you jump up and shout "Take it off! Take it off! Fool, take off the Ring!"

ragamuffin92 · 01-27-2002, 08:02 PM

You're all pretty funny.
However--today, I took a drive down to the bay near where I live, where suddenly, Ulmo appeared to me and and said "Mandos has sent me with an urgent message for everyone (including YOU, ragamuffin) who has been posting in the "You Know You Like Tolkien Too Much When..."thread: 'GET HELP!! SOON!!! MANDOS HAS SPOKEN.!'"
