Ways to prove you are a ringer (Merged Multiple Times)

[Tar-Ancalime]

this one was on the old forum before it got sacked. it's pretty
explanatory.lets see how many we can think of!

1)you have over 100 posts in one month on a tolkien forum
2)Parents threaten over and over again to sack LOTR book and password computer.
3)find yourself daydreaming about ME in every class

[Dengen-Goroth]

Wow, i'm a ringer! My parents threw the books out the window, and then i jumped out after it. On a history question, Who counquered Egypt and was from Macadonia I wrote Melkor. AND, i posted some 200 posts in a month.

jk. I only fulfil the posts thing. I never daydream bout me, in school, to busy with work and talking. And i;m tormenting my parents so as to get a special edition of LoTR.

[Tar-Ancalime]

LOL, they were like so pissed when i saw the vma trailer they threane\tend to passsword my internetn and sack the precious.all my classes are like boring and easy so i just sit back and pretend to listen

[Tar-Ancalime]

4)In the middle of the night and/or on vacation compose ballads basen on LOTR
5)you plan to wear the Frodo lives tee on day lotr opens for heck of it.

[Kementari]

6) You don't trust ANY doctors unless they know what "athelas" is (and the can say it Valinorian)

7) During a blackout you sing to Elebereth

8) Your parakeet speaks Quenya!

9) You sing to trees to see if they wake up

10) The message on your answering machine is: Elen sila lummen omentevilo

[Kementari]

O! the first time I read LoTR (about 3 years ago), my parents did use "taking away your hobbit books" as a threat

[Dengen-Goroth]

Guilty, guilty, and yes, guilty, especially to the tree thing:)

[Tar-Ancalime]

i still have to learn quenya and sinadraian.
7)have friends abandon you at lunch when you go for third chourus of road goes on forever.
8)while reading LOTR on shelobs lair chapter in class you scream "Die Gollum to yourself while making a disgruntled face.
thats funny kem

[Kementari]

14)You are the #1 top poster on this forum!

Lol, Dengen!

[Tar-Ancalime]

thats a sign.
15)you go on an adventure inwhich you have no clue where to go and pack one saltine cracker.

[Dengen-Goroth]

This is my attempt
16)Your friends run away when you ride your bike which you painted white and claim you are the "grey pilgrim" on "shadowfax" of to fight the "dark power".

[Ciryaher]

17) Your Tolkien friends always complain because you "speak in riddles like Gandalf."

[Dengen-Goroth]

18)You venture downtown and mumble about being in "harad" while everyone stares at you and your "companion", a broom with a nametag which reads "Bilbo".

[Dengen-Goroth]

19) You are thought to be prarnoid because every pigeon you see you scream, "ahhh, the lord of the nazgul!" and run about in circles.

[Dagorlad]

20) You buy real swords and armor from mail order catalogs.
21) when you were a kid you would skip school and stay home alone, put a blanket over your shoulders, pretending it was a cloak, and march around your house talking to your companions of the fellowship of 9.

My friend has done the former, I the latter.

Oh, and
22) You have multiple copies of the same book, just so you could have the variety of different bindings, formats, and cover artists. *GUILTY*

[Asha'man]

I have actually ordered real swords in the mail. Well, one sword and one axe, but you get the picture. I'm still working on armor, namely a ringmaille vest. I'm not much of a ringer (understatement?) but I do like fantasy.

Asha'man

[Ciryaher]

Dengen....you are veddy strange sometimes...

[Lantarion]

23) You translate the LotR into Latin, then to Quenya, then back to English, and try to replace the Bible w/ it.

24) In art class, all you draw is nineteen A3-papers of the Eye.

25) You own the LotR in every possible language, and bring them all to school in three seperate duffel bags just to show off.

26) You pick up sticks from the ground and pretend to be killing orcs with Anduril, whilst you are really smacking the knee of the largest thug in the school, who is glearing malevolently at you.

:D

[Rosie Cotton]

27) You refer to LOTR as "My preciousssssssss".
28) Your priest yells at you for accidentally praying to Eru Illuvitar in church.
29) You've composed tunes to go along w/all the songs in Tolkiens works.
30) You actually care if Balrogs have wings.
31) You've named your pocket knife.

[Dengen-Goroth]

I actually never did anything anyone, including myself, have listed. I know though, my ideas where very weird.

[Tar-Ancalime]

LOL, i have done almost all those (guilty x 3.14 or pie)
once on the bus people started to take the precious away from me and i screamed "My precious" at the top of my lungs.

32) somehow when your luvly english teacher gets into a lecture you find yourself writing poems about the eldar days.
33)in the middle of class you slipp into gollum talk while reading a passage outloud
34)name your team Happy-go-lucky hobbits to the protest of most

[Beorn]

*100 Posts
*Riddles/Gandalf (kinda)
*Balrogs Wings?

And Celerbrian...if you teacher is 'luvly' are you dreaming about him, or ME...lol ;)

I like the seagull one...

[Tar-Ancalime]

I meant i hated her lectures cause i'm sarcastic HA. NO i have no clue what you like like

[Iluvatar]

35) You gave up all pretenses of not being a geek, or actually having a life, long ago.

[Tar-Ancalime]

oh yea i did that
36)YOu swear by the precius you only exist in ME
37)in the park swear an army of midgets are out to kill you

[Tar-Ancalime]

38)friend never let u finsh animated lotr cause you couldn't stop complaining
39)have a hunch that you might get kicked out of theater when movie comes because you again dont stop complaining about the smallest detail

[Dagorlad]

There are some really good ones, and I thought I had most of them beaten, but Iluvatar's took the cake. I can't picture anyone topping that. I laughed out loud, partly because that statement somewhat applies to me.

[Tar-Ancalime]

I saw the lotr trailer it was sweet. just one question what is it with kicking out glorifindel!
40)Find that you scare people when you say "did you know that...."
41)call at night and complain that bashikis LOtR to your most seeming uninterested friend to her yourself talk

[moe_29]

42)Read LOTR when you were 12... wore little gold
ring for the next 5 years, only took it off when it
got to small to wear! (i won't say how many years ago
that was)

[Dengen-Goroth]

43) You find a link between all your surroundinga and places in ME.
I annoyed my friend, who also read LoTR. there was a hill, i said Weathertop, the school, I said Barad-Dur.

[Dagorlad]

Dengen Goroth, I've had a Weathertop since well before my teens. My two best friends, their parents, my two brothers, one neighbor and my mother all call it Weathertop. Of all those people only me, one brother, and the neighbor have ever read any Tolkien.
Personally, I disliked school enough to say that I can assure you that if the idea of naming my school Barad-dur was suggested to me, I would have said that nothing Tolkien belongs associated with it.

44) While walking in the gravel on the edge of the road and swinging your mail-order sword over your head, you thrust the blade high into the air and screech "Anduril! Anduril for the Dunadain!".
(That's my friend again).

45) You engage in a snowball fight in which you get your a** kicked because you and your friend are using a thrusting motion to lob them so you can pretend they are bolts of flame, and your friend is lobbing faster.

[Mersed]

23) You refer to some sports snack bars as 'cram' and others, such as Cliff bars, as 'lembas'.

[Talierin]

You legally change your name to Strider and hang around taverns pestering short people.


Would anyone mind if I put these up on my website?

[Merlin]

This one applies to me and I am serious!

46) You already know how you plan to name your kids....after LOTR characters.

[Dengen-Goroth]

Please tell me you are joking. how would your children feel.
"Hi, what's your name?"
"galadriel"
"Legolas"
"Well, i'm gimli!"
"I'm called Aragorn, but my friends call me Ellindel."

[Iluvatar]

Actually, I've always thought that Luthien was a name a girl could get away with in real life. Berin might not be a good name for a boy though.

[Dengen-Goroth]

How about turin? Or balin? Or better yet Finarfin?

[Kementari]

Fingloflin would be pretty bad...

[Beorn]

No offense Iluvatar, but if you were really named Iluvatar you would get ripped on sooooo bad

[Talierin]

I know someone named Arwyn.

(106)You name your parakeet Eowyn.

[Tar-Ancalime]

LOL, I've done so many of those its pathetic.
find yourself in hobbiton when the lectures going on
Scream Wraith at the top of your lungs when the local bully comes to torment you.

[Macarion]

Guilty of:

3)find yourself daydreaming about ME in every class
5)you plan to wear the Frodo lives tee on day lotr opens for heck of it.
22) You have multiple copies of the same book, just so you could have the variety of different bindings, formats, and cover artists
26) You pick up sticks from the ground and pretend to be killing orcs with Anduril, whilst you are really smacking the knee of the largest thug in the school, who is glearing malevolently at you. (Well, sort of. Only my Orcs are thin air)
30) You actually care if Balrogs have wings.
35) You gave up all pretenses of not being a geek, or actually having a life, long ago. (I take this one beyond that, and flaunt Geek Pride everywhere I go)
46) You already know how you plan to name your kids....after LOTR characters.



Adding:

47.) Wear a Ring on a chain around your neck.
48.) Love to Play with Swords!
49.) Name your Guitar in Elvish
50.) Plan on writing a letter to that cute girl from school in Elvish
51.) Despite protest from your rhythm section, you still plan on naming the band Shadowfax.


I could probably do more, but I’m getting tired.

--Macarion

[Beorn]

Macarion...your name reminds me of what I had for dinner: Macaroni... sorry, but it does... ;)

[Talierin]

Guilty of:

Wearing a ring. I spent $40 on mine. It has the runes on it and everything!!!

hehheh Mike

[Merlin]

My first choice was Arwen, it is a great girl's name! There are some reallly nice names in LOTR that dont need to be "Ugluk", or that sort :p

[Mersed]

I just don't get why someone would want a replica of the 'one ring'. I'll admit that when I first visted ME as a child I thought it would be neat to have a precious, but on reflection I realized the negativity of it. Help me understand.

[Talierin]

I know the ring is supposed to be evil, but it's fun to wear! Goes with all of my Tolkien shirts.......

I don't call mine my precious. To me, it's just a piece of unsual jewelry that I wear nearly every day. It's also like a code word to other Tolkien fans I run into.

[Kementari]

I see what you mean, Mersed! It would haunt me. My grandmother gave me a white gold ring with a sapphire stone, that I call Vilya. Lol!

[Macarion]

I wear a ring on a chain around my neck to symbolize the burden Frodo wore. Sometimes, to freak out my friends, I pull it out, start stroking it, and use my best Gollum voice.

--Macarion

[Ciryaher]

Hmm, I only have a class ring...silver w/ onyx stone...

Here's one that I do and isn't really wierd:

52) You have multiple sets of the same book, not for variety, but for the simple fact that you have worn out so many sets of books.

[Lantarion]

Greetings Macaronion, the King of All Pastas. :D
Just kidding, welcome to our humble abode, Macarion.
:)

[ReadWryt]

Ok, I MUST Chime in now...

53) You have a pet (Cat) named after a LotR character.
54) You actually own nearly every book published having to do with Tolkien
55) You actually OWN the Domain Names thelordoftherings.com, thelordoftherings.net and thetolkienforum.com

I had to throw those in for the beloved Webmaster...heheh

56) On your wedding day, you actually have to fight inner voices to follow through and place the Wedding Ring on your betrothed and not keep it for yourself instead.

[Chippy]

lol!!!!!!!!!!!!

57) watch the new lord of the rings trailer 20 times in one day..
58)have a ring shape cake for a birthday with the lord of the rings written on it with alphabet smarties

[Macarion]

Macarion is an elvish name: Macar (Swordmaster) + ion (male name suffix).

But, hey, "King of All Pastas". I like it! :)

Thanks

--Macarion

[Rosie Cotton]

Welcome Macarion!

59) You have an unnatural fear of spiders.
60) You're friend owns an all white horse (she really does), and you try desperatly to convince her to name it Shadowfax, she doesn't, she names it April.
61) You've always wondered what that nazgul is doing in Scream, and which of the characters has the one ring.

[Macarion]

Nazgul in Scream! LOL! :)

--Macarion

[Beorn]

I have an very horrible fear of things with too many, or too few legs. I run screaming from spiders and/or (I'd like to think of 'or' rather than 'and' where they would be together)...

Nazgul in scream....I like that...

[ReadWryt]

62) When you were a kid you allways waited for what you called the "Ent Scene" in the movie the Wizard of Oz.

63) When you intorduce yourself you allways start by saying "Honored to meet you, I am (Insert name here), son/daughter of (Insert name here), son of (Insert name here), son of (Insert name here), son of (Insert name here)"...etc.

[Ancalagon]

(64) You hold your wifes engagement ring into the air when taking a ferry at night, somehow thinking the light of this huge silmaril will guide you on your way.

(65) After introducing yourself as son of....son of....son of...you ask to see their family tree to see where your seed may have crossed over.

(66) When you are out with your friends on a Saturday night, you remove your wedding ring in the hope you will become more visible to members of the opposite sex. This usually accompanies several large goblets of strong mead and leads to you eventually wishing you were invisible again.

[Aerin]

How about this,
67) You completely plan a vacation to Middle-Earth
68) You spend hours writing lists like this....


I am guilty of many of the above, it would be a shorter list if I listed the things that don't apply
:D

[Dengen-Goroth]

Very good everyone! Nazgul in Scream, what will you think of next? And Ancalagon, drinking Mead? You should know better. ;)

[Tar-Ancalime]

hi, i was attempting to stay away from here till about mid-november,but the temptation was to great.

[Thorondor]

Welcome Back! Yes it is tempting. I usually have to check it morning, noon, and night.:rolleyes:

[Greymantle]

Hehe....when do I check the boards?
In the morning, before school. During my free. At lunch. Right after school. As soon as I get home. Several times while I'm doing my homework. After homework. Before I go to bed.
:D That's every day. I'm a sick, sick young man.

[Kementari]

That sounds like my scheduel Greymantle. We are pretty sad...

[Talierin]

In the morning if I get up early enough, afternoon after I'm done with my schoolwork, and if I can, I'm on here all evening.......

We should start a Tolkien Forum anomyous program on here, but then I'd be on here even more........:eek:

[Greymantle]

"Hello, my name is Daniel.....and I'm a postaholic."

[Beorn]

Me? I check within 10 minutes of getting home, and usually specifically about four or five time after that. Anytime I'm on the computer though, it's in the background...

[Ancalagon]

That's ok Daniel, welcome to the forum. You have taken a very big step on a long road. It's never easy to stand infront of the group and admit to being a postaholic. But don't worry, everyone here is in the same boat and we will work together to pull ourselves through it.
Once a week another member will stand up and open up their hearts to the group to find love and support in this very difficult time. Posting can become a curse for many, yet, really it can be enjoyed by all.

Welcome once again to the PA (Postaholics Anonymous)

[Lantarion]

LOL!!

I usually only check after 17:00, when the net-time is cheaper, but then I always stay here for about an hour. :)

"H-hello," glances around, smiles nervously. "M-my name is Calvin, and I..."
"It's OK, take your time."
"..I am a postaholic."
<tremendous applause>
"I tried to...get rid of my addiction, but it d-didn't work. I've been posting for..." <breaks down in tears>
"It's all right, whenever you're ready, Calvin."
<sniff> "Thanks. Well, for the last...two years, I have been on a posting spree and I...oh god.. I lost my wife, my kids, and my job; all because of this...STUPID thing" Calvin said, and felt his nervousness withering.
"I just want to lead a normal life, and stay online for under 12 hours per day, and I want to be able to post good, meaningful posts!!"

<tremulous clapping, other members stand up to pat Calvin on the back>

"Very good, Calvin, the first step is always hardest. Anybody else want to open up? There are only friends here, you know."

:D

[Chippy]

lol!!!

well i don't think i am a postaholic yet...but i am going to be so miserable when i go back to school (i am on school holidays for 2 weeks) see my mum has limited the hours that i am allowed on the computer...
i am only supposed to be on the computer 5 hours a day but i usually do more..
Monday: not allowed to go on :(
Tuesday: still not allowed :(
Wednesday: Finally i get to go on after school..but not allowed to play any violent games..but that is ok (that is really for my brother) :D
Thursday: not on :(
Friday: yess..:D
Saterday: yeess:D
Sunday: yesss...

so u see i will have to catch up on allot of messages on the weekend

[Tar-Ancalime]

I'm one too,(more or less)
i just thought of one:
you tell your mom that you walk so oddly because you want to develop a big stride like strider.

[Dengen-Goroth]

I am the SUPREME Postaholic. Kem, how long are you on. Whenever I go on u r here.

[Tar-Ancalime]

Kem's not on now. she's on my buddy list. You are the supreme postaholic

[Kementari]

I always go on at lunch time. And in the evening. At night I usually just minimze the forum and check in on it every once and a while... to see if my Messenger friends are online.
There is only an hours difference between us, Dengen. You and I are usually on at the same time...

[Aerin]

I never get up early enough in the morning go get on the internet before school, and I can't even touch the computer before my homework is completely done. I won't even let myself think about this wonderful message board before my homework is done, because the temptation of my precioussss board will be too much and I will succumb.:D

Angalcalon- do you drink your mead cold or warm?

[Ancalagon]

Cold, m'lady killer. Would you like some warm mead?

[Aerin]

That all depends........:D

[Ancalagon]

Kem, it's ok, you're among friends. Come into the light so we can see you. It takes you to admit to the posting problems you have..........we care, truly, we really care!

[Ancalagon]

ReadWryt. I have to interject to your last post.

Do you feel that when you put the ring on at your wedding, you just wanted to disappear??? I did!!!!

[Kementari]

LOL!!!!!!!!!

I AM A POSTAHOLIC!!!!!!

You happy now??

*bursts into tears*

lol!!!!!!!!

[Tar-Ancalime]

I got my name changed... yeah kem, it's ok. this summer I scared away all my IMing peeps because I was posting,LOL.

[Kementari]

Ancalime, your inbox is full!!!!!

[Tar-Ancalime]

it is? i have no messages. I do need to delete some.

[Kementari]

yes you have to delete the messages in your inbox and in the sent items folder....

[Tar-Ancalime]

that could help, but your inbox is full too. like my explanation on my signature.

[Aerin]

You spend hours in front of your computer, saying, "But, Mom, just one more post....." 10-20 times a night....

[Tar-Ancalime]

that's a classic.... Mom just 5 more mimutes....5 minutes later.... 5 more please

[Chippy]

well my mum just called to me to bed just then....nooo

[Tar-Ancalime]

i hate it when they do that

[Lantarion]

"ah, please mom! Look, I've done my homework, only a reading thing. And school starts late tomorrow! C'mon, just one more sentense!"
"One more sentense, wait.."
"ok, I'm going now.."
"Oh, please, 1 one ONE more!!!"
<storms out of room grumbling>
:D

[Tar-Ancalime]

"Whaddaya mean by me needing my space from da board?"
"please, it ensures my survival"
" please lemme stay on the board i promise i'll keep my grades up"
"you don't believe me"

[Aerin]

Aw, c'mon mom, really, this is the last one! Just this one last post! Really! No, I didn't post when you weren't looking! Please, mom, one last post! PLEASE!!!!!!!!! :D

[Chippy]

lol those r funny.....

i am not that bad about going to bed..i like my sleep...i only get grumpy when i am on this forum and my mum tells me to go to bed..

[Telchar]

I don't have anybody to tell me to get to bed..

[Tar-Ancalime]

lucky!

"you mean, no more...ur mean go away!"
"off computer forev....Nooooooo"
"I have my rights!"
"Go away"
"#$@^, she banned me from the site"

[Lantarion]

What have I done?..:eek:

[Tar-Ancalime]

what have you done?It's too early momm forced me to get up NOT FAIR

[Lantarion]

I mean that I sort of contributed to this increadible sidetracking. From "Ways to prove you are a 'ringer'!" we managed to get to weird dialogues. :confused:

[Tar-Ancalime]

sorry. that was funny thought. on the other stuff one why dont we do dialouge things

[Aerin]

Pontifex! You mean to say that you don't talk to your computer? Heretic! :D :p

[Beorn]

Here's a way to prove it: When you wake up in the middle of the night to blow your nose, instead of just throwing the tissue at the garbage can, you get up and look around first to make sure you wont hit LotR by accident

[Tar-Ancalime]

geez that is very amusing. Your room aka mine field the only thing you make sure to keep nice is LOtR

[Chippy]

when i go to school or some where boring i rap my lord of the rings book up.(not all of them just which ever one i am reading) in a cloth...making sure none of the pages r bent .....and when i go to bed i make sure they r not in my way of shooting my tissues in the bin:D

[Talierin]

My books get abused. I'm still ticked at my sister for getting Two Towers soaked THE FIRST WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT IT!!!!!!!! Sigh, such is the life of my books.

[Telchar]

I lent my english LoTR edition to a friend of mine a year ago, he's still not finished reading it..:(

[Tar-Ancalime]

My book by the time I had it for a month it was bent cause i read it sooooo much!

[Aerin]

I've had my books for about seven years, and they were in mint condition, until my sister read them! She bent the spine of The Fellowship of the Ring, even after I told her not to! *sobs* My books are treated like royalty. ;) :D

:rolleyes:

[Telchar]

Buy two editions, one to read and one to have in the bookshelf.. :)

[Rosie Cotton]

My Dad's edition is so ancient that the cover (not the paper cover, the actual binding) is completely off FOTR, and near off on the other two. Luckily I have another edition that's still in nice shape. What I need is a paperback copy; it's to much work to go lugging my hardback all over the place. :p :rolleyes:

[Tar-Ancalime]

My copy was also in book bag on a plane and convienently tripped on by my cousin.

[Beorn]

another: a tear comes to your eye when you bend the cover of your new LotR even though that it will be in far worse condition by the time you're done with it...

[Tar-Ancalime]

tear, you bring out such sad points

[Aerin]

I hate bending the spine on paperback books, and my dad and sister don't mind! So I am very careful to whom I loan my LOTR series....

[Telchar]

You should be.. I lent one of mine to a friend, a year ago, I still haven't gotten it back.. :(

[Tar-Ancalime]

how sad my binding on helms deep chapter is broken slightly I'm soo sad.

[Klarheit]

I lost count:) If while at college you've moved the entire wall of Tolkien's work from the library and reshelved it where only you can find it.

[Beorn]

Whenever you drop or loose something, you think it was trying to get away from you and back to its owner...

[baggins]

talk about yourself in the 3rd person and call your lotr series "my precoius"

[Beorn]

The dictionary in your word processor now recognizes names such as:

Gollum
Frodo
Bilbo
Baggins
Aragorn
Gandalf
et al

[Telchar]

Or it contains words as Morgoth, Melkor, Manwe, Gar Thurion, Aman, Eä, Iluvatar, etc.

[Beorn]

And Gloin, necromancer (that is a real word, but my computer didn't recognize it), Elrond, Gildor, Hurin (with the accent)...

Another way to tell: when you're bored you start singing The Road goes ever on and on....

[Aerin]

You use all British spellings on words, such as, humour, theatre, sabre, neighbour.

You don't even use a spell checker, you have memorized the spellings for all the words!

*I am guilty of this one!*
You go to your grandmother's to have a nice, quiet Thanksgiving weekend, and you spend most of your time posting on this Forum!

Most of your meaningful conversations are LOTR related, such as:
whether or not the Balrog had wings
who is Tom Bombadillo

All your best friends are on this board, and you have never met most of them in real life...:D

[Theif]

- You buy three copies of the Tolkien calender every year, one to use as a normal calener, one which you cut all the pictures out of to stick on your wall along with the rest of your tolkien pictures, and one which you cut up and stick the pictures on your school books

- You print pictures and scenes from the movie trailer and place them inside your school books so you can gaze at them during maths

- While at school you trip over your own feet and your books go flying. All your hundreds of Lord of the rings pictures are scattered around the playground by a gust of wind. Later you are approached by an angry teacher who puts you on bin duty for littering. When you ask how she knew it was you, she tells you that you are the only person in the school who is that obsessed with Lord of the rings. [yes this happened to me]

- Your Guinea pig is named Pippin, then you discover that Pippin is actually a girl, you name her babies Aragorn and Arwen.

- The week before your important exams all the copies of Tolkien's books mysteriously disapear, along with your new FOTR soundtrack. When you complain, your parents tell you its for your own good, as the books are a 'distraction from your study' and they will give them back after the exams are over.

- You bug your parents day and night to get a Mastercard so you can enter their competition to win tickets to the Premiere of FOTR. http://www.mastercard.com.au

-When they constantly refuse, you start bugging your 18-year-old brother.

- You see a complete stranger on the train reading a copy of LOTR,
you start a debate with him about whether Balrogs have wings.

- You buy a Ouiji board so you can call up the spirit of J.R.R. tolkien and as him whether Balrogs have wings

- While at the beach with your friends you get a far-off look in your eye and say, "Legolas greenleaf, long under tree, in joy thou hast live, beware of the sea - if you shall hear the cry of the gull on the shore, your heart will then rest in the forest no more." <--(can't remember the exact quote)

[Beorn]

You've got multiple folders on your computer entitled

"LotR"
"JRRT"
"FotR"
"TTT"
"RotK"
And
"JRRT links"

[Telchar]

Hehe.. and don't forget..
"HoME"
"UT"
"JrrT Bio"

[Grond]

I guess I qualify as both a ringer and a postaholic. Over three hundred posts in less than a month! Sheesh, I must be living on the computer.

[Greymantle]

I keep being startled every time I look at my post count. It really doesn't feel like I'm posting as much as I am... I have the highest posting rate, the second highest number of posts (due to recent deletions) and yet I joined a full month later than anyone else on the Top 10 list, with the exception of Aerin. I don't mean to be such a postaholic! :rolleyes:

[Beorn]

You have Cirth, Tengwar (Noldor, Quenya, AND Sindarin) fonts on your computer

[Kementari]

-Almost Everything Thief said...

-You have all the Tangewar fonts AND you can write it yourself!

Grey don't put yourself down, before school started my posting rate was 18 posts a day! :o

[JanitorofAngmar]

The worst is probabbly making love to your wife and crying out "Oh, Galadriel!"

Then you spend the next 4 hours trying to explain that she is a character in these books you've been reading...Honest Honey!

Yeah, that's a bit overboard...

Unless of course she screams "Oh Aragorn" right back at you...In my case more like "Oh my God...Gollum?"

[ReadWryt]

I know what you all mean, I mean...sheesh! I'm on here all the time...I've been here since the beginning and now I look over at my post count and thing, OVER 300 POSTS? GAWD!! *LOL* :D

[Chippy]

my post count is slowly climbing at the moment...i haven't posted alot of posts since i came back from thialand...i have to get back in to the rhythm

[Beorn]

When someone sacrifices themselves for the good of others, you say that they "did a Gandalf"

[DGoeij]

You tell you're girlfriend that as long as its smaller than Shelob, you're not getting out of bed for that spider on the stairs.
You also told her that if she wished to come with you to the movie, she 'at least should have read the Hobbit' (right now she's reading the Appendices, I'm so NOT sorry)

[Beorn]

PJ's face is on your toliet paper...I'd say that tops the list :D

[Beorn]

You regretfully correct your friends' misconceptions of the movie, about how acurate every detail is...

You put up / are putting up a web site that has a large section devoted to J.R.R. Tolkien (note: if you would like to review one of JRRT's books, please e-mail Me (trainsnpep@hotmail.com), as I cannot do review on books I haven't read (UT, HoMe), or all the review for The Hobbit, LotR, and the Sil)

You use PJ's picture for target practice (good idea Ponti huh???)

You buy tickets as early as possible (yes, the first day that they are released in advance) and make two rides to the theater, just in case one person can't drive you.

You've considered naming your birds Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin

Your answering machine has the One Ring verse on it...

[Tar-Ancalime]

when your friends ask to see your "birthday present" you scream my precious really, really loud.

[Eternal Phoenix]

-You keep your high school/college class ring or wedding ring on a chain and refuse to let it out of your sight or let anyone touch it.

-When someone asks how your neighbors are, you respond, "Those awful Sackville-Bagginses!"

-You drive people nuts with your list of 438 things in the movie that are incorrect. Most of them plan on moving before The Two Towers is released.

[Tar-Ancalime]

he,he.

when you recieved elrond's ring for your birthday call family councils,Elronds council

[Eternal Phoenix]

Are there any more?

[Beorn]

You go to a Tolkien BB...

[Tar-Ancalime]

hmm...ummm...when the starless skies exist before you board the school bus claim modor's shadow has finally come???

[Deathknell]

1) You download all three Elvish fonts from the Internet to use on your work computer (GUILTY)

2) You try to get a Quenya Elvish class started at your local junior college

3) You go to the tobacconist's and ask for "Southfarthing pipe-weed"

4) You constantly are fingering your rings

5) Instead of saying "Ho-hum" when you are bored, you say, "Hoom-hom!"

6) You're disappointed that your wife (or girlfriend) doesn't have pointy ears

7) When something odd happens, you say it's "strange as news from Bree"

That's all I can think of for now...

[Tar-Ancalime]

for a newbie, they weren't that bad...or anyone for that matter.

visit this forum nearly every night!!!(guilty)

[Grond]

How about this one....

You allow yourself to be nominated for a Tolkien board moderator position that you know you have no chance of winning!!:)

[Greymantle]

I think I shall second that one!
:D

[Rian]

I remember an english class in college where the professor had us read "The Hobbit". I went up an talked to him to let him know that I've had that book since I was 8. He looked at me funny because I was the first person he had in years that knew the book so well!

Note: My parents never took my LOTR away because they were hooked on the stories too!

[Tar-Ancalime]

Never happend to me...nope, nope

friends insist that they're high school connections will be forced to beat you up if you don't stop gollum speaking (and writting)

[Beorn]

1. You fear barrow-wights.
2. You can see a black rider in almost every movie
3. You know J.R.R. Tolkien's full name (John Ronald Reul Tolkien)

[Dain Ironfoot]

4.)Dye all clothes white and make your friends call you the white rider.

[Tar-Ancalime]

start a fund raiser stating , my pointy ears foundation; for the plastic surgery I plan to get.

[Evenstar]

I dont have nearly as many posts as some of you but I am on almost every night instead of doing my homework.

Here's1 im guilty of~

Go to school dead tired because last night you just had to read one more chapter of RotK....just one more...well i cant stop now might as well finish it...Before you know it its 4 am and you have to go to school in 2 hours...

[Beorn]

You're reading this thread

You've a printed copy of RP 5

You know what RP 5 is

You play Mume

You're printing the Silver Dragon

You know what the Silver Dragon is

You're considering making a model of M-e (I've a train layout--still in the construction stage-- that I might make one corner a M-e type place)

[Tar-Ancalime]

You brag about the gift so and so "got' you online in arnorian senate

You tell you parents how your appearnce is on the forum

You know what arnorian senate is

[Kementari]

When you sign your name on anything you write Queen Kementari in the Tegwar next to it :D

Im printing the Silver Dragon too!!!

Tar, i got two necklaces, a batterie, and a magic rock.

[Tar-Ancalime]

dude so did I! and a magic ring...and a castle in ruhn.

[Beorn]

I'm waiting till Monday...I changed my mind....my dad's printer @ work could finish it off in 87 seconds (it prints 1 p/sec color.... 2pp/sec b & w)...my printer can finish it off in close to an hour....

[Tar-Ancalime]

my mom won't let me print that many pagesa

[chrome_rocknave]

hehehe.....

I think all I ever drew in art-class was Mirkwood..not to mention other various forests in ME :rolleyes:

[Dain Ironfoot]

I was sop. to be drawing a forest in art and I finished my drawing of LOTH. complete with elven bowmen, as my teacher walks by.......F

[chrome_rocknave]

Speaking of ME drawings....if anyone has any please post them--I'd love to look at them :D

[Talierin]

I have a lot. I'm working on my website so you guys can see them sometime. Might be a while though.

[chrome_rocknave]

Fab! I can't wait to see them :D

[goofoofighter]

There's so much to read! I can't read them all in one sitting! ><

Anyway, what's interesting is that I am guilty of about half of those things even before really hearing about JRR Tolkein. Mommydearest gave me a ring when I was like 7, I would wear it every day... I treasured it so much... and then it broke just a couple years ago... I had it for a loooooooong time. (I'm 14 now)

And I'm guilty of talking to trees, and other such stuff that people say "don't talk back". They're just not speaking the right language *lol* The people in my school hate me because I am the 'silent watcher'.

I don't care about them anymore, I got the lead part in the play (high-energy psycho-lady with many many mood swings), so I'm happy :cool: :D

I'm not as selfish as I may sound there, actually, I'm pretty selfless. Give give give and I get BS back, I feel so unappreciated. I should move to Luxemburg and start anew at that school.

[Ragnarok]

Heres mine
1) You spend hours in the woods with your sword and axe, chopping at trees, pretending theyre trolls, search for any hidden rock doors in the ground that might be troll caves, look for any signs of orcs at all, from a piece of metal (could be a cloven off part of their helm) to a dead squirrel (an orc got hungry and had a snack), travel through swampy areas looking down hoping to see faces, and look for an entrance into Mordor.

2) You plan to spend a whole week in the woods doing the above, instead of a couple hours.


Im guilty. But its so fun!

[Beorn]

You can't goto the bookstore without picking up something Tolkien related (I suffer immensly from this...well, not suffer... :D)

[goofoofighter]

Wow, sounds kinda like me. I admit, I'm guilty. I always stroll through the forest looking for something that I just have this incline is there, but I don't know what it looks like, what it could be for, where it is, or why I'm looking for it. I never really like swamps, but given the chance or the right equipment, I would look in those too. There are enough of them around my house in the middle of nowhere... The only inhabbited place on the hill! (The one of many) Hehehe, and I'm the top of it, I look down on all the other houses... absolutely terrific!

(whatever number it is)) You wair your hair like a LOTR character and claim you were "dared".

I am so guilty of that, I just did it today. Now Mike H. is calling me Arwen, not that I have a problem with it... :D
My bro always did say I looked like an elf... O.o

gtg to bed :( , I'll be back tomorrow though! And you can count on that! :p

Namaarie,

I've been working on my site all week and managed to get most of my artwork and lousy wallpaper up, if little else. You can find it at www.eastofthewoods.com/talierin/

Hey I love your art--especially Eowyn! I've always wanted to learn how to sketch like that...I can draw but I can't shade at all!!

[goofoofighter]

I made the promise that I would be back today, and by some quick last-minute decisions by mom and dad, it made it very difficult. As much trouble as I might be in for this I kept my word, and I will be back ASAP (probably Monday, the pain! A whole weekend with no computerr!)

As Gandalf would say,
"Farewell wherever you may fare!",
~goofoofighter~

[Melilot]

These are so great! so many apply to me.
My boyfriend is not into LotR like i am but i make him sit there and look at picture books with me and i tell him all about the scenes and characters.
And i have literally been with a group of friends when a flock of black birds fly over head and yelled "There spying on us! We have to hide!"

[Beorn]

[Talierin]

Hehehe, I can't shade worth beans either! I really need to take a class in pencil...

[chrome_rocknave]

Hey--you shade better than me :D

[goofoofighter]

Vedui' il'er!

You want blackbirds? You should come to my house in the fall when they're congrigating (sp?) to prepare for their migration. @.@ They're everywhere... and they make such a noise! But it's actually kinda nice, sometimes it kinda sounds like waterfalls. Either that or you could pretty easily mistake yourself for being in a rainforest. *lol* Either way, there is countless amounts every year and they're always flying over.
More about blackbirds... my bro (being a wiccan) says that his animal is a raven or something, so there's always a raven around, whether you know it or not. Crazy but it's true.
I could go around babbling like this forever... well not quite, but I could try! :p

*is giddy still from the speed of the ice boating races today* :D
A good 20 MPH with sharp turns and boats that haven't been used for about 5 years. Fun fun fun! *lol* I almost beat my bro, who's been doing this since he was about 5 years old (he's two years older than me) and I'm just a beginner. I could have taken him if I weren't afraid that I was going to hit him on the turns when I went to pass him. He takes them so wide and slow, I can turn it practically on a dime with a good amount of speed, but I was afraid to flip the boat, spin out, hike, or hit him...

Anyway, I should go soon, that'll leave me with half an hour to check my email. Though I might decide just to stay...
Either way,

Namaarie,
~goofoofighter~

[Arien]

Here's one I'm guilty of:)
You beg your friends to perform scenes from LotR for your music practical exam worth 30% of your grade:D

[tookish-girl]

When you start wearing a ring round your neck and don't want to take it off because you feel like you're not a proper fan, if you do. (That's me!)
You wear it to the cinema when going to see The Fellowship, so everyone else knows too.
You hate mechandising, but find yourself with a Frodo doll, a calendar and a set of Lord of the Rings shot glasses for Christmas. You write Film Studies essays and try to sneak a movie-mention in there (to bring up your word count naturally!)
And you think its fancy dress on new years eve, so dress as a hobbit and then discover that everyone else is dressed normally, but you don't care coz you have a cool sword to play with alll night!
And finaly.... you spend three hours on this forum when you have two 2000 words essays due in at the end of the week that you haven't started yet!
Or is this just my experience over the last month?!?:D

[Aredhel]

I think I'm one!! Except for the throwing the books out the window. I daydream about ME almost all the time. The other times I daydream about the actor who plays Legolas..heheheh. I always do scenes from the LotR in Drama class.

[Tar-Ancalime]

so do I..dream of Legolas anyway...t

recurit people to lord of the rings forums and ect.

[Reoko]

heres a good one
Go to a bar sing the cow and the moon song and claim you are a certian Mr. Underhill and inqure if Gandalf has been here and when the bar tender says no start biting your finger nails in fear.

[Tar-Ancalime]

good one

when visiting your sister...you say in the car...no don't take me to the dark lord NOOOO

[Reoko]

or when someone makes you made say i shall hope the lidless eye bestoies it's wrath upon you.

[Dain Ironfoot]

In LA class you write poems about Lady Galedriel.....

[goofoofighter]

you find deep pleasure in telling someone to go kiss and orc, and want to kill them when they tell you to (pardon my usage, I can't think of a way to edit this...) suck and elf.

You don't mind it when someone calls you by the name of a 'LOTR' character.

In fact, you try to encourage this

You make an effort to memorize all of your favorite lines from the books AND the movie.

You often try to use these quotes as over half of your language

[Tar-Ancalime]

start calling your horse/ pet Bill the pony/ pet

[Eonwe]

you want to see the movie alone, because it will take so much time to explain why you are crying to the people with you

"It's a **sniff** long story..."

All of your Tolkien books are either brand new, or have all sorts of soft drinks spilled on them, and the binders are all messed up.

You put your name in elvish and runes on the inside cover of each book (ok I did that one)

When given a choice between seeing Gandalf fight the balrog for real, and making love to Rachel Welch, you hesitate.

When you reach Balin's Tomb in the book, you know its going to be a bad day.

You crouch down and hide your head when reading about the Argonauth.

You get all goose-pimply when you read Theoden's words before he charges into battle at Gondor.

Fingolfin is your hero

You don't even think about the size of Galadriel's breasts, even though you've read the book 10s of times...

You are sort of embarassed when someone asks you about the book, since you know they will NEVER understand your love for the writing.

You watched a three hour movie and didn't eat any popcorn:D

You'd like a vacation at Rivendell.

[Tar-Ancalime]

*tear* That was the most inspiring thing i've ever read!

Demand you recieve the lotr collecters edition and when ur mum asks why you show her a page (to be exact the last page of the golden halls/first of helms deep).

[chrome_rocknave]

LOL---I actually do get embarassed when people ask me about LOTR. I know that 1) they'll never understand what I'm talking about 2) they'll think I'm completely obsessive (which I am of course! :D)

[Eonwe]

Thank you oh dark queen of mordor (I am picturing Elvira, OK?)

My mom don't give me presents no more:(

[Eogthea]

Am I a Ringer?

I compose poetry/prose in Elvish
I plan to teach my teahers Elvish
My best friend and I speak Elvish whenever we see each other.
I daydream about ME whenever possible.
I worship LOTR.
I scream at people when they ask me, "So who was that funny looking short guy in the LOTR movie? You know, the one with the funny name and big blue eyes?
I decorate everything with pictures of LOTR.

[Tar-Ancalime]

thanks eonwe! (well almost anyway, not exactly as plain of an outfit, a somber, and stunning black dress with silver embroidery).
my friends often said..omigod, what those things, their hairy feet how disgustiing!
Oh eonwe, i forgot to metion the starry mantle that suppors my queen amidala like hairdo)

oh and the ring that i got from dengen along with the gold necklace that looks stunning against my low cut dress)

[EverEve]

im on after school (breakto do hw), bak on again for a while (break to eatr much needed food), tehn bak on again

[EverEve]

~people turn around to look at u when u scream "why wasnt tom bombadil in teh movie"~

~ur worried u mite get thrown out of the cinema for quoting the lines to loudly~

both have happened to me:D

[Dain Ironfoot]

Because he was ga...... wait, he wan't thought to be of the importance to be in the movie.

[EverEve]

very funny dain:rolleyes: its not nice to say things about people:D

[Tar-Ancalime]

don't be mean to tom bombadil

[Bill the Pony]

1. When using nicknames to remember names of students you end up with Joe the Elf and Jane the Hobbit for people who look like how you imagined an elf or hobbit.

2. You have to be really careful not to call Joe an Elf in class.

PS still waiting for the first Orc to show up...

[Beorn]

No, he's right. Tom is not only a complex character, but it's impossible to portray him correctly without making him seem gay (well, that made no sense because portraying him correctly would make him not seem gay...)

At first, one may think that when reading--until they find out about Goldberry :D.

[Nimawae's hope]

1)You swear that lady in the library with the do that looks like a wig from a halloween costume must be an orc.

2)ALL of your favorite quotes come from LOTR

3)You always imagine that you are a part of the Fellowship od the Ring.

[My_Precious]

:) :) :)
1. I named my mouse 'Elf'
2. Library woman in my school looked suspiciously at me when I took 'LoTR' for the 20th time.
3. I have a binder where I collect newspaper/magazine articles about the movie, 'LoTR'.
4. When I go on the Internet, 'just 4 a sec, to find out what's new', I end up staying for hours.
5. I wrote an essay, comparing 'LoTR' to some other book.
6. I looked for one edition of 'LoTR' for 4 years ('coz it was published in 1991, I started looking in 1995, found it only in 1999) just because I thought that the artwork was amazing.(If my scaner will decide to work again, I want to show you some of those pictures)
7. My 'my favourite' folder is filled with 'LoTR' sites that are filled with 'LoTR' links which I don't have time to look through.
;) :cool:

[Sindarin elf]

when you keep your One Ring (complete with engraving) hidden and take it out and look at it and dont let anyone touch it

my precioussssss

[Branwen]

..you are scared to turn your TV on cause you think it's a palantir and you aren't strong enough to defeat the Sauron's will
....you don't say 'oh my God' you say 'oh my Iluvatar'
...you always sign you name in Quenya only
...anywhere you go you sing 'The Road Goes Ever On'
;) ;) ;)
and yes I'm GUILTY for almost everything that was mentioned here!!!:)

[Aredhel]

I don't know if these were said before but:

Wear three 'elven' rings around your neck and pretend they were given to you by Elrond, Gandalf, and Galadriel.

(Heh heh heh, I was guilty of this.):D

Tell your friends that the rings are actually the Three Rings from the LotR, and they believe you.

(I was guilty of this, too):D :D

[Beorn]

Darn!!! Yeah, they probably thought I was crazy.

[My_Precious]

#?
You take a knife from the kitchen and refuse to return it, saying that it's 'Sting', until your mom catches you holding it to the throat of your little brother. When you try to explain to her that you were just playing in 'Bilbo and Gollum', she startes screaming at your dad for introducing you to the book...

Adding: You cut your mom's new leather bag to make a sheath for the 'Sting'....

[Tar-Ancalime]

you people are madmen(at least you my precious)!
The road goes ever on and on is one of my fave to do

[Diabless]

I dont compare to you guys;)
But of all my friends (except Olivia who's reading FOTR) I am the Tolkie (that's what she called me)
My One Ring is my Mom's old wedding ring. It DOES have an inscription on it- the date
I've been wearing it around my neck
Before I read th end I did not want to wear it for fear that the Nazgul would get me in my sleep
I try to beinvisible but it does not work!
I spend many waking moments pondering the story of ME (I have only read the prelude and LOTR)
I wonder if my post got answered
I spend two hours on this site every time!
For anyone who knows nothing about Tolkien I give them the run down on how he made up entire languages, histories, civilizations and how his stories are as complex (if not more - yes they are actually) then European history class:D

[Tar-Ancalime]

here is a message:
Get a Life aside from LOTR
you people sound so messed up, especially you My precious

[Diabless]

Well I would expect something like that from a Dark Queen of Mordor. If ou do not have anything funny to say dont say anything at all:o

[Tar-Ancalime]

*walks away*

[Diabless]

Before you walk away...
It's not a life rooted in LOTR
It's a life rooted in Middle Earth and Arda
(Most of us are joking around too you know- but not all of us)
;)

[Tar-Ancalime]

yes..but you guys sound messed up if a normal person went on here they'd run and hide

[Diabless]

We are messed up! and proud of it!
(that's part of the fun of it- just getting caught up in it all and in some cases not thinking about tests, papers, quizzes, SATs)

[Diabless]

We are messed up! and proud of it!
(that's part of the fun of it- just getting caught up in it all and in some cases not thinking about tests, papers, quizzes, SATs)
I also wish to apologize for being so defensive. I meant no harm. I hope we can make ammends:) :(

[Tar-Ancalime]

of course i'm not going to blow your head off

[Diabless]

I am glad.
You know it's ironic. I blamed you for being a part of Mordor but although my name is not from ME it means she-devil in French. I am a hypocrite! Sorry:eek:

[Tar-Ancalime]

well i am the dark queen:rolleyes: , even dark queens have the right to enjoy a nice private (unless the dark lord is there) bath

Hey, my last post was made up! :eek: Do you think i'm that crazy?:) Plus I'm a girl, and I don't have any brothers...:)

[Diabless]

At first I thought it was made up but then I belived it My Precious
It's funny anyway:p

[My_Precious]

Geesh, I got scared that someone would think I'm crazy...:eek:
Glad it got cleared up...:D

[Tar-Ancalime]

your imagination gets carried away with you...thats all

[Afterglow]

nice to know I'm not the only crazy one out there...;)

Listen to this: today one of my teachers said that if this one guy was gonna be mean to a guest speaker she was gonna drag him out of the auditorium by his ears so hard that they'd become pointy. I actually said out loud "but that's a good thing!" Yeah...everyone thinks I'm crazy now. :D

[Aredhel]

I thought I was crazy!! Heh heh...crazy about ME.

Yeah, with the elven rings and everything.

One more thing...just a couple of days ago, I was reading this thread, and the part about Gollum, then I went home and I kept saying 'My precioussss...my preciousssss...." I drove my family members insane!!:D

[YayGollum]

Hello fellow crazy people!
-when you constantly refer to yourself as Poor Smeagol
-when you beg all your friends to buy you a One Ring for your birthday, not any other time, just so you can call it your birthday present
-when your friends actually think you will run around saying My Preciousss if they do buy you the ring
-when the only thing you doodle in class is Gollum
-when you come here whenever you have time for the internet and never use it for anything usefull

[Diabless]

Dear YayGollum,
If you doodle in class, I am just curious, as to how you imagine Golluma to look like? It's funny i never think of Gollum as old but young because of he way he talks.

[Hirila]

here`s another thing:

- you desperately try to convince your boyfriend to call you by your elvish nama and only call him by a name you found for him! And all along you know that he didn`t even read one of the books!

[YayGollum]

Well, I do think of him as old because I have always had this copy of The Hobbit with a picture of him. I always draw him all bent over, lots of scraggledy hair, I don't know what he would wear, but I usually have just some rags covering him up, and really big probably exagerated flipper feet! And I do lots of close ups of his face with all kinds of expressions, if I knew how to work this scanner next to me, I'd be famous!:rolleyes:

This thread absolutely must be kept alive!

Here's one on behalf of WM, although he didn't ask me to...

You have a computer called 'rivendell'.

[EverEve]

You are convinced that if you put on the ring you have, ringwraiths will attack you.

[Goldberry344]

you have a webpage (http://hometown.aol.com/lilmanrox22/page2.html) that consists mainly of LOTR stuff and you spend most of your free time working on it

[Dûndorer]

- you always keep a lotr book in your back pocketses

[EverEve]

when you get mad at some one for something, or they did something to them you say "You orc!" or "That was lower than something an orc would do!":D

[My_Precious]

You learn many tough riddles in case you bump into hungry Gollum...:D

[Shadowfax]

Here's one:
Your parents forbid you to go see FotR anymore, on the grounds that you have started shouting out lines from it in your sleep!
(No kidding! I fell asleep on the sofa, and when my step-dad tried to wake me up I yelled "Ash on my tomatoes!" with a Pippin accent and everything!)

[Tar-Ancalime]

I'm terribly sorry to get off topic but...wow, I cannot believe one of my pathetic threads is still going on!

[EverEve]

you try to find a relation between everything in the world and tolkien. "Hey, that telescope is soooo similar to that thing in LotR. It helps u see far away, and so does a palantir.":p :rolleyes: :p

I have posted here already!
I do that I think mmm this is like the Brown Lands or this could totally be Fangorn Forest or Central Park is like Rivendell. Today, at my country house, I ran to the pond, took out my One ring. Held out my hand with it and the chain (like in the movie) and then put it in my cpocket but there was not boat .:( I also likened my friend's basement to Moria.

Listen to the soundtrack trying to bring up the scenes and watch the movie in you head
You also recite lines in coordination with the soundtrack. You hum the soundtrack. The soundtrack gets stuck in your head.

You are truly hurt when anyone dissed either the movie or book, LOTR.

When you saw The Two Towers preview you freaked out for five minutes afterwards, " Oh my G-d. I can't belive they showed Eoeyn, and an Ent, and Frodo, Sam and Gollum. I thought they would just show what happens after FOTR ends and they would just show Legolas, Gimli, and Sragorn searching for Merry and Pippin. But they go on to show more, including Faramir, Eomer, Eowyn. What is that scene of Arwen?, Helm's Deep! I am so excited I have to see it agian!

I have seen the movie seven times and counting

I will buy ALL of the LOTR DVDs becaue I won't have the patience to wait for the special edition

Everything here is true. I have become a true 'ringer' since I first posted here!

(Got the idea from you guys) I wear my Mom's old wedding ring aroudn my neck to represent the One Ring:cool:

[Tar-Ancalime]

umm..you can buy model one rings at your common book store, why on earth would you take your parents ring???

heres one:
ON the day of your presentation you carefully finger the one in your Pocket like bilbo.Then when you forget most of the speach you shriek and put the ring on expecting to become invisible. However when the teacher tells you "Go on" and the roars of laughter surge. you sream "oh no my school is inhabited by ringwraiths!"

[Istar]

Wow, I just read this entire thread in one sitting.
Here's one Mike B. forgot. He tries to work "Quotations from the Red Book of Westmarch" into every paper he turns in, especially papers for our anti-Tolkien (GASP) English teacher.

When people refer to the Bible, you think of the Silmarillion.
