Say What?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Have you ever had a time where you were sitting around doing pretty much nothing, and you were listening passively to the people around you? Yes, I'm sure you have. Now have you ever had a time when someone said something and you REALLY hoped you misheard? For LotR relatedness, an example.

While watching RotK with my brothers last night, I could have sworn I heard my eldest brother say:

"Isn't that Frendo Maggot?"

Frendo, I ask you. Just what exactly is a "frendo" anyhow? You're thoughts...

Fea

[Fingolfin II]

Well my brother thought Frodo's name was 'Freddo' and was bagging The Professor for a good 15 minutes, before I showed him the book. However, he only abated for a minute or so, before going on to say what a stupid name Frodo was anyway, and why whould anyone in their right mind call someone Gandalf .

One that happened to a friend:

We were writing random things on a whiteboard, and some other friends were in another room with the door between closed. One friend in the other room said "He's got hairy feet...He's a Hobbit!" and the friend with me started laughing because he thought she said "he's a hot babe".

See, this is the type of thing I overheard. Instead, around here, I usually overhear, "The end of the world is nearing us! Sinners, repent!!" or "Now how to I get to that protest?" or something stupid about the stupid San Francisco GIants or New York Yankees. *shiver* I hate those teams!

The only over-hearing would be when I'd eavesdrop on my ex-cousins before stepping in to correct them, which usually led to an argument on why they are right and I am wrong, even when I showed them the book, which they, and manyother ex-relatives, seriously believed I had specially made with "wrong" facts to make my cousins look stupid. Like in my book is says Gandalf is Gandalf. I guess in theirs he's Gumball. Seriously. That's what they said. He's Gumball because Gandalf isn't a name, just something I made up! If you're sitting there wondering what the H***, join the club.

I was watching the Disc 2 stuff on RotK today, and probably because of my earache (I'm defective... sick again ) I could have sworn I heard PJ say something about "Faragorn". A mix between Faramir, Fangorn, and Aragorn, perhaps? I can see it now... a great, kind, powerful, merciful, loving, slow-talking, patient... tree.

[Mithalwen]

Well I remember a review of FOTR where the writer said "I am sure Cate Blanchett as Galadriel said 'I give you the light of Air India" LOL

And my sister, who has scorned my LOTR obsession for about 20 years until she saw Orlando Bloom ("you never told me elves were hot...") couldn't believe her ears when she heard part of the radio version when they rebroadcast it and heard the name Shagrat .... and that was real... a more innocent world

And while Frodo is a fairly silly name it beats Bingo....the original

[One of the Nine]

Well, I have no LotR mishearings, but I did hear this really weird thing in soccer practice. Someone was talking about one of our coaches, I think, and they said something about pulling out their nose hairs?!?!? They wouldn't tell me what they were talking about, but they said I didn't want to know, so I left it alone.
