A few ways to tell if you are obsessed with LOTR II - Page 8

me9996 · 07-11-2007, 08:03 PM

You know you're obsessed if somehow a discution about healthy food that you are involved in (No matter how many else are in it) allways turns to LOTR one way or another (Like Gollum likeing raw fish, the elves lembras, the cram of the men of dale and the many refrances to cakes)

me9996 · 08-08-2007, 01:43 PM

You know you're obsessed with LOTR if:

1: You sucsessfully watch all LOTR movies in one day
(And this isn't something you'd do with any other movie trillogy)
(I tried and failed but I'd do it with any movie trillogy I like - given time)

2: People discribe you as "That guy behind the Lord of the Rings book" regulary.

3: Eye drop ads freak you out becuase of the greatly red eyes.

4: You consider dragons a rather obscure part of fanticy due to them haveing a very small part in middle earth.

5: You often jokeing yell "Shire! BAGGENS!!!" when somebody tickles you.

You and a few others refer to each other with your LotR names

I knew I was obsessed when I embarked on rendering the Map of Middle-Earth with a scale of 1 inch = 3 miles. I never did complete it but worked on it for two years and had over 300 square feet done. This was over twenty years ago but my enthusiasm for the story has never wavered.

You know you're obsessed with LOTR if you regularly find yourself huming one of Tom Bombadill's songs. (Happened to me once)

me9996 · 11-13-2007, 05:04 PM

You know you are obsessed with LOTR if you allways refer to bacon as "Nice crispy bacon", even when raw!

me9996 · 01-07-2008, 04:48 PM

You know you are obsessed with LOTR if you have "modded" every computer game you own with LOTR stuff.

Belwen_of_nargothrond · 01-19-2008, 08:40 PM

What if you think you are an elf? I'm 34 and look about 18. My ears are slightly pointed, I'm obsessed with Gil-Galad, and I have an abnormal love of trees!!

Belwen_of_nargothrond · 01-19-2008, 08:42 PM

If you're really obsessed go here and get your elvish name!! http://rumandmonkey.com/widgets/toys/namegen/1786

I did. My name is Belwen Ar-Alyanis of Nargothrond.

Belwen_of_nargothrond · 01-22-2008, 06:36 PM

You're obsessed when you buy a kitchen table and chairs just because they are hand crafted and remind you of elvish handiwork. Guilty!!

My name is Belwen Ar-Alyanis of Mirkwood, Is everybody's name Belwen Ar-Alyanis?

The last sane person · 05-20-2008, 02:48 PM

Only people who frequent Name generator sites...

***Earniel*** · 05-20-2008, 06:25 PM

What does Ar-Alyanis mean anyway?

trolls' bane · 05-22-2008, 12:04 AM

Hahaha!

You're obsessed if you've created such a name generator site!

Curufin · 05-22-2008, 08:26 AM

Actually, if you're really obsessed, you know that the names given to you by name-generators offer a horrible un-translatable, meaningless mixture of Quenya and Sindarin which would get you laughed out of any half-way decent Elven kingdom.

Coffeehouse · 05-22-2008, 01:47 PM

You know you're really into LOTR

when you discuss global warming and you start mentioning magical forests and Ents and Fangorn...

*guilty*

Well...obviously!
*misses the joke entirely* LOL!

Meriadoc Brandybuck · 05-22-2008, 10:40 PM

You know how to spell everyone's name in Dwarf runes and give an elf name as your actual name to other people. (I know 3 sisters who do this. It's frightening.)

HIHI, we say on the radio.

Yep, anyone who frequent them ends up with Ar-Alyanis, which wouldn't translate to jack-squat. If it did translate into proper Sindarin, it'd probably mean this...

ZEEKY BOOGY DOOG!!!

You're obsessed as hell with Lord of the Rings if you go to a university and one of the people going there goes to class dressed like Gandalf, wearing COMPLETELY accurate clothing, carrying COMPLETELY accurate props (staffs, hat, Glamdring, etc), but somehow you're only 5'6" which is probably around 6 to 8 inches shorter than Gandalf. My fiance's sister is in college and she had taken a picture of this guy who had dressed up as Gandalf. And the thing is, this guy goes to class everyday dressed as Gandalf. The unfortunate part of this, and this is sad, is this sad person is a friend of my fiance's sister. Hell, if I was in college now, I'd probably even poke some jokes at this guy. Back when I was in college though, this one guy dressed in a cape and held a red pitchfork every once in a while, but that doesn't even come close to some one dressing as Gandalf every day.

Apparently this guy even did a presentation in front of a class dressed as Gandalf, and my fiance's sister says this guy almost sounds like Gandalf, probably because of the beard.

But hey, it's what make the world turn around. If everyone were status quo 24/7/365 then it'd be an awfully boring world, and on such a small world, you need a lot of interesting stuff going on.

Like Captain Janeway said on an episode of Voyager, "you're in Starfleet, weird is part of the job!"
