You throw your wedding ring in the fire to see if it has Elvish writing on it.

You put Rogain on your feet to appear more hobbitish.

...You print out the entire movie script, and act every bit of it out with your friend.


.....Your friend tries to steal your One Ring (from the book marks)away from you and you try to bite her finger off for it.

...You buy the bookmarks with the one ring on it, and put it on a chain, and keep it hidden under your shirt, and whenever it accidently comes out, you look around scared, and quickly hide it.


(and yes, I have done all of these lol )

You KNOW your a Tolkien fan if...

You and a couple of friends develop a Tolkien web site, and you obsess on it for months at a time! (okay ALWAYS :p)

You sweet talk your wife in to going the FOTR premier at midnight, just to see it before the rest of the nation and knowing full well that you will be knackered for sure the next day.

You cheer at you favourite parts of the movie, no matter how many times you've seen it, and it doesn't matter if your the only one in the theatre cheering!

Either the movie or the website just happens to come up in any conversation that you have will just about anybody!

The only literature you have read over the course of at least the last three years, has been written by The Professor.

You wear your LOTR t-shirt to work when you know your not supposed to.

EVERY casual Friday is another excuse to wear another FOTR t-shirt!

You are willing to stand in line for HOURS...just to get a book signed by a Hobbit and PJ, or to get a CD signed by a wizard!

Okay...I think I qualify as a Tokien Fan/Freak as I am guilty guilty guilty of ALL of the above and more! lol

Pil
August 11th,2002, 06:06 PM
Nessa...i did the ring thing too...:blush:

When you go see the movie in the theater and after it is over you are in the restroom and you begin talking like Gollum ("My Presssiousss") because it sounds really cool with the echo efect (and you don't care who hears you).

(Guilty!)

A! Elbereth
August 11th,2002, 07:52 PM
(Pil, I am very guilty of that one! lol)

- When someone says,"ahh" from getting cut, you have to add in,"Still sharp"

(Did that to my mom yesterday - the look she gave me was enough to scare an Orc!)

- While you watch FOTR, (having a stupid grin on your face) you mouth every line and yelp in the movie, causing your family to give you strange, annoyed looks

(also guilty)

Pippins-Girlo

You can write fluently in the Tengwar....oh so guilty.

You were so mad about how freaky Galadriel looked that you spent your entire 15th birthday party trying to draw her the way she should have looked!...why must I be a perfectionist.

You can say Galadriel's opening 5 min. sequence perfectly in sync with her.

You're playing badminton and arguing over who's turn it is and you blurt out, "just give me the ring."

Your friend has just said how scared she is of your obsession with LOTR and you reply, "We are all afraid. But to let that fear drive us to destroy what little hope we have - don't you see? That is madness."...and then your friend gives in and says, "There is no other way."

August 16th,2002, 03:22 AM
You know you're a Tolkien fan if...

You are convinced your three month old nephew is the secret offspring of your sister and an elf because he has pointy ears and is very fair in the face.

You try to teach above mentioned nephew Quenya so he can speak elvish as a first language.

(If you are from the US) When the nine miners were stuck in that mine in Pennsylvania your first thought was that they needed to get out soon because they were trapped with a balrog.

When the PA governor kept saying the phrase "nine for nine" You kept thinking "Nine walkers for the Nine riders that are evil"

When your little brother stole your prop "One Ring" you attacked him saying, "There is only one Lord of the Ring and he does not share power"


Sorry these aren't that funny, but I have done all of these.

(Of course I also thought I heard orks coming from behind, and me and the other people in the group I went with were each a character from LotR. I was Legolas.)

Then you really know your a Tolkien fan when you can go through the enire tour of the cave and not really see much becasue you are too bussy playing your charcater! (Also giulty!)

You know your a Tolkien fan if...

During a movie at the thearter you go to the bathroom and while in there recite lines from LOTR. (hehe guitly)

While doing your hair and make-up you talk to yourself about LOTR and make up funny things that a character might say, and listen to the soundtrack at the same time, (When don't I do that?)
If you play the Card Game, Watch the movie, and recite the lines along with the movie. (guilty again)
Were both probably guilty of that one...

You invite 8 of your close friends to your tree house.
You give your close friends the following presents, a torch, a box of MiracleGro, 3 belts, a bird shaped brooch, that plastic bow and arrow you used to play with when you were a kid and a lock of you hair.
You don't let them leave until at least two of them look in your bird bath.

You know you are a Tolkien fan if you have ever used any of the following:-

1 'Verily' when you meant 'yes'
2 'Lo' in any situation whatsover (there is no excuse for it)
3 'bane' when you meant 'pain in the a**'
4 'deem' when you meant 'reckon'
5 'kin' when you meant 'mum and dad'

and of course any spelling of anything with extra sss's so you sound like Gollum.

so for example 'lo, verily i deem myself a Tolkien fan and bane to all my kin.... precioussss'

Lynx
December 30th,2002, 02:51 AM
haha. nice Rumil

..if you're willing to research 30 hours worth of Tolkien stuff for a school project just so at the end of the year when you present it you can wear the cool elf ears you got to school all day. (guilty)

..if when you finally get your car and you're thinking about naming it for a Tolkien character or thing. (You know I was thinking if I get a black car I was going to name it Ulairi(Ringwraith) or something like that)

..if for a speech competition you take an excerpt from ROTK to read for Prose and are thinking of taking another excerpt for next year from TTT. (guilty again, I'm doing Eowyn and the Witch-King for prose right now, got to semi finals!!! woohoo.. next year i'm going to do Gollum's debate with himself from the TTT)

So I guess you would say I am as Rumil said a bane to all my kin.. not to mention all my friends, save one who is as crazy about LOTR as me. hmm.. what more can I do to freak out all my friends now..

Every piece of homework you hand in has your name on in the Tengwar (done!)

You start humming bits of LOTR tunes when you do maths (you know your friend is obsessed when they recognise the tune and join in!)
You act out sections of LOTR with previously mentioned friend and play 'LOTR pants game' constantly. Doining impressions of characters also counts
Using things like square roots and other symbols and letters on your calculator you try to write out character names in lessons
You rename people in homework questions to LOTR characters eg an archer is Legolas. A becomes Aragorn, B becomes Boromir. You get the idea!
You wonder if anyone in your family will notice if you suggest Elrond and Elros as names for kittens if they are male; or possible Gollum and Smeagol. Possibly Eowyn and Eomer if male and female? Seriously - I need to find good names to suggest for when we find some kittens. Any suggestions? On second thoughts - this isn't the place to ask serious questions is it?!?! lol

.. you actually download LOTR skins for The Sims and moves all your previous families out of the village so that the Middle Earth ones can live there all on their own.
.. you study the ears of everyone you meet carefully, just to see if anyone's got pointy ears (my grandmother has pointy ears..).
.. you can't look at a fire without thinking of a Balrog (well.. it looks a lot like a Balrog).
.. lines from FOTR and TTT constantly pops up in your head. Whenever, whereever, always.
.. you are studying trees carefully to see if they just might be ents, or something similar. Trees are very alive after all.

etc.

You definitely know you're a Tolkien-obsessed fan when you plan to go to your Graduation Ceremony in a Middle-earth inspired dress... (Which I've considered rather seriously... and ended up with a Cheaongsam-***-elvish-dress design. It looks marvelous too!)

You know you are obsessed when people at school begin to expect to see you doing impressions of characters from LOTR or drooling over LOTR characters, or laughing hesterically at LOTR humour.
Now people begin to expect LOTR quotes in everything I say and I do get some really funny looks if they don't know the film. My parents, neither LOTR fanatics, hear something a little out of context in what I'm saying and just sigh - 'Lord of the Rings again?'

Your notice board has a daily 'you know you are obsessed with Tolkien when...'

You sleep with at least one of Tolkien's books on your bedside table - just in case you can't sleep and need something to read (even though you might possibly admit that Silmarillion is not the easiest book to read at 4 in the morning!)

You know you're obsessed when you think of a fabulous "pants" quote by Gimli, wake up three times in the night, remember the line, then get up in the morning and forget it, and your whole day is ruined. :(

It was a perfect one! Arrgh! :angry:

Sigh, did it again.
I was playing some Gamecube game tonight and some blackbirds flew over my character's head (an elven archer, hmmm, go figure) and I yelled "Crebain from Dunland"!
Probably wouldn't have been so bad except I was in one of those game stores that let you play the demo versions..... :blush:

The best part is a few people recognized the line and laughed.

You're aTolkien fan if when you lose a ring and find it you say: "So the ring of power has been found." And your friend (also a Tolkien fan) answers: " All this time it was in the Shire. Right under my very nose!" And you reply: " Yet, you did not have the wits to see it! Your love of the halflings' leaf had surely slowed your mind." lol
