Lord of the Rings Trilogy Forum

Tell us the signs that you might be a LOTR addict.


When crossing a bridge, do you have the urge to bellow "you shall not pass"?

Do you look for lembas in the bakery isle of your grocery store?

Whenever you see a flock of birds you yell "Crebain from Dunland!"

(i have done thins...the looks on peoples faces: Priceless!)

when you see Peter Jackson, you think of the word "hobbit"

you find yourself drawing strange comparisons between real life and middle earth.

You use LOTR quotes in an English project (yep i just did that.)

You do an English project ON LOTR!

Whenever someone is late, you greet them with 'Ab dolens' (or however you spell it).

You want the Ring of Barahir crafted for yourself.

You have been looking desperately for longbottom leaf.

You have a sign on your bedroom door sayig 'You shall not pass (unless you are here to tidy my room)'

hehehe i do!

You are looking in marble shops for a giant glorified marble.

You are going to have your ears surgically made pointy.

You buy a toupee for your feet!

You are trying to get hair transplant on your feet.

Do you yell Black Riders! when you pass a group of hooded monks?

You can't eat potatoes without giggling.

All of a sudden, dancing on tables at bars no longer seems slutty.

If you call your better half your 'precioussssss'. I am guilty of that.

The one about calling Potatoes 'taters isn't quite true because I have a friend who calls them that anyway and he has never read or seen the lord of the rings.

You walk down a busy high street singing "Roads go ever ever on"

You are going to name your son Aragorn.

You get your name legally changed to Aragorn.

You would never dream of missing second breakfast.

You look for oliphaunts and wargs at the zoo.

You never leave home without a bit of rope and some pipe weed.

You are trying to devise a way to go to Valinor.

You think that archeologists will one day find the remains of Numenor underwater.

You keep asking at the Home Depot when they are going to get in some of those White Trees and some alinor flowers.

You try to shoot elephants with steroids so that they will become as big as mumakil.

You keep calling your boyfriend or husband elfstone.

You are looking for a white staff to go with your white robes.

You keep looking for bottled Entwash in your grocery store to make you taller.

You start a "boat to Valinor" fund instead of a pension.

You keep looking for Lothlorien on the map- it would make a great vacation spot.

You keep looking for mithril vests in the Army surplus store.

Actually I need only some. You need a lot more than me.

oooh thats cold mahesh

Watch out Mahesh...or i'll bite your kneecaps!!!!

You try to convince your geography teacher that the Shire is on the map!

I have never tried to convine her, but i did ask where the Shire was when she was telling me about.....errr...i cant remember, but she was shoing me something on a map. she's a LOTR fan so she laughed and said i needed a different map!

You sing "Into the West" in the shower.

You suggest that they play "Ride of the Rohirrim" at your friends' wedding. (I actually did this when they were talking about what instrumental music they wanted playing during dinner)

Whenever you hear a Westlife song, you say: This foe is beyond any of you. Run!

You know all the words to 'May it Be'

You know a lot about the history of Middle-Earth, including the hidden meanings, because you spend most of your free time researching it.

You might be a LOTR addict if you have 2400 posts at INReview and 50% of them are in the LOTR forum.

Good one heather!!!

You might be a LOTR addict if the ROTK DVD goes on sale in less than 4 hours and you have this nervous twitch going thru your whole body.

If someone tells you "you can't tig on a tog" and you know what they are talking about, you might be a LOTR addict.

You have played the 'I think I can touch all the tables in here faster than you' game.

You play 'spot the beacons'.

You stay up till three in the morning to finish watching your ROTK movie (when you have to get up early the next morning) because you can't wait until the next day to finish it

You are a LOTR addict if you bought the DVD yesterday and have already watched it twice.

Or three times

You say the entire script the whole way through the movie, and when the people you are watching it with tell you to stop, you mouthe it silently.

You might be a LOTR addict if when someone who is watching the movie for the first time asks you a question, you launch into a 15 minutes speech about the complexity of Tolkien's creations, and give a detailed description on how Peter Jackson created the movies.

When you explain throughout the whole movie how all the CG was done, what is bluescreen, forced perspective, scale doubles...

You might be a LOTR addict, if every book you read gets compared to LOTR.

I think that is one of my most well known phrases...
"It's not as good as Lord of the Rings..."

Plus added words to your vocab!! because of LOTR


FLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY you fools

My preciouss

You might be a Lord of the Rings addict if you have counted Gollum's teeth in the movie and know the difference from the amount in the book.

(Guilty. He has eight in the movie, but only six in the book)

You might be a Lord of the Rings addict if you slow down the scene with the überorcs running at an aerial view and shout "None of them are carrying Merry or Pippin!!!"

Also, you shout out that the finger chomped off in the movie is different than the one in the book, and know which finger it is in the book.

(Guilty of both)

Which finger is it in the book I can't remember? I know it was his left pointer finger in the movie

Those are pretty good ones by the way Pippin

Third finger on the right hand. I don't know why they changed it, because it's not like it changes the plot or anything.

Well they had to have some reason for changing it... Oh well

You might be a Lord of the Rings addict if you know what project is coming up for each of the actors from the movie.

When you've memorized whole scenes from the book, I think that makes you an LOTR addict. and yes, i'm guilty of it.
