Longest LOTR Discussion You Ever Had? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Elendhel · 07-13-2005, 03:56 PM

I was talking to a guy over IM, and before you know it, 7 hours had passed with barely a word that wasn't Rings related....Obviously it wasn't quite non-stop, but you get the point. What about you lot? Are you as sad as me?

Definitely! Hour long conversations on LotR are great fun, and a good icebreaker too as I have recently discovered

Nobody ever wants to talk with me so long about LOTR.

But the one long time I had was Aug (maybe Sep) of 2001 (pathetic that I remember!). I had just finished reading LOTR for my first time that night, the next day I had to pick up my sisters from the airport and for the next 2 hours, in the car, I told them the whole story, crying and everything. Afterall, they were a captive audience but they were genuinely interested.

7 hours? O dear, O dear, O dear!

I seem to remember a quite heated debate about Feanor among other Tolkien characters and stories. It was probably straight Tolkien for about 2 hours.

Another good discussion is favourite character. It's so simple but can last for ages, and it never gets old!

Aiya! Ed' i'ear ar' elenea! (Oh! By the sea and stars!)

I feel I've out geeked the lot of you!

But I'll bet your time on here adds up to more than my 7 hours

And before I know it...I'll be sucked in too.

I've got a recurring debate with my husband that comes and goes but has been going on since right after the theatrical release of Two Towers as to the merits of Gandalf leaving the Hobbits to their own devices in the Scouring of the Shire. Not 7 hours straight, but an on-and-off one topic discussion spanning a few years!

And I've also kept a reply window open for a whole day while I figured out what to say, but I can't really count that. I also took out the garbage, worked, went to the store, gardened, etc. etc.

Cheers!
Lyta

P.S. Incidentally, Elendhel, what Rings topic(s) comprised the 7 hour conversation?

Hah! I was totally that guy. Good lord, that was a lot of LotR action. But we all know LotR is more important than sleep, so it's all good.

Ashiris! Cormamin lindua ele lle, nae saian luume'

We out geeked this lot with our conversation. And now, we're in danger or repeating it in this thread.
