LOTR Sightings!

[Finwe]

One of my friend looks exactly like Elijah Wood. It's so scary!!!! Of course, I tell her that all the time, so she's really sick of it! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Another one of my friends would look like Aragorn if he grew his hair out and started growing a goatee. It's rather scary. He's got the exact-same coloring as Aragorn in the movie.

There is aboy on my a bus i used to catch that looks like a little Lij, but haven't seen many others. though there's this guy at my school who looks so much like Keanu Reeves, everyone calls him Reeves all the time

Hey! I saw someone at the DC National Kite Festival thing last weekend with a Fellowship delta kite. It made me freak out and hyperventilate, then get really angry because I didn't know where to get one. I wanted to go up and ask them if they were barrowdowners but I had lost my friend in the crowd so I had to go find her... Oh yeah, and if anyone reading this is the lotr kite flyer in question please make yourself known! I was the girl in bright pink who caused a huge collision by running backwards with my kite (random spiraly pattern on blue delta)

Hah! I just realised this morning: Ian Holm is on my radio every morning at 7:30. Not Kidding! Okay, okay...not the real Ian Holm...but another radio anouncer with the same name. I've been listening to that man for 4 years! And I've never noticed before! Thought that was amusing.

I was watching 'Secret Window', when Johnny Depp suddenly said: Tom GREENLEAF! I jumped and hit my knee on the table... aouch...

[Lily Bombadil]

Okay, I went to the Exalibur Fantasy Faire near my home, and-besides couting 65 individual kilts on guys-I saw the Helm of Elendil, the Helm of Gimli, Legolas' knives, Anduril, Narsil, Sting(and scabbard), Gimli's axe(I'm pretty sure), orc and uruk weaponry, and best of all HADHAFANG! I got to hold it and Gimli's helm. 'Twas a fine day. Now, I'm pretty sure I found some LotR people there. Let's see.... Well, I'm pretty sure I found the REAL Glorfindel. No lie. This guy could've been Glorfindel easily (or even Gildor). Oh, and Ghengis Khan had Anduril. Strange... I thought I'd seen Boromir or Faramir one, but It turned out to be Robin Hood. Shucks! Oh, there was a Nazgul. And some Rangers were also present, though they better favoured Haradrim than the men of Halbarad's company. Oh, yes, and Sir Brian in the Iavnhoe-themed joust looked remarkably like Boromir, so it was like watching him die twice in two different ways. Creepy... And Black Rose Costumes was selling awesome skirts and bodices that looked fit for Diamond Took and Rose Gamgee--Elanor the Fair even! There was even a great multitude of Elvish garb. Oh, and I found this one guy in a cloak that looked like the ugly version of Merry with really BIG hair...

OH! I amost forgot! They had the circlets of Arwen, Elrond, and Galadriel, and the Helms of the Witch King, an Isengard orc, and uruk, and a Rohirrim, and they also had Rohirrim and Theoden's armour! Eru! I almost LOST my mind!

Firstly, I enjoy sneaking up behind my friends and doing a Gollum voice. They jump and yell at me not to do it, because I sound like Andy Serkis and it freaks them out.

There's this guy at my gym who looks like exactly like Aragorn, the movie version.
But once at camp I met this guy who looked like Legolas. This was before the movie came out and I wasn't poisoned by Orlando Bloom, and it was really cool. He had long blond hair and actual pointy ears. He seemed to buy into the whole elf thing too, because we played D&D and he was an elf. (not very original, but o well.)

I said on another thread recenty that I lived near a restaurant called Bilbo's. They have good potatoes.

My bestfriends mother was wearing a sweater that said 'orc' (or 'org', but who cares? ?)

[Gothmog]

Ugly kid huh?!

[Gothmog]

Yes, Alexus, very ugly kid... Not too clean and neat neither, and as I said: he actually behaves like Gollum...

[Bekah]

Was this in Houston, Texas???? Because I know there's a Hobbit Cafe in Houston (about five hours from where I live).

No, Finwe. Sorry to disappoint, but it was somewhere in the North Island of New Zealand en route to somewhere else - I can't remember what the city/town was called or even how big it was...probably in the lower half of the Island, though...

Cheers,

When I was walking around Wellington a few years ago I saw a man who looked suspiciously like Figwit. Then I realised it probably was him.

Hmm also, I've seen all the main cast and crew of the LOTR films excluding Miranda Otto and Christopher Lee but don't know anyone who resembles them except Ms Otto who seems to have a clone working at my old University.

[skadork]

a couple days ago, i was in our chorus room at school, when i saw a book, i can't even remember what it was, it was a kid's book, maybe somet weird version of hey diddle diddle, but anyway, i read the authors name, & stopped out of excitement after i saw "goll-" thinking, "that's awesome! gollum wrote a kid's book!" then i looked again & saw it was gollub. darn that 'b'. although, that man's name does sound like someone with a stuffy nose trying to say gollum.

There is an Inn near to me called the "Old Toby Inn", the pipe weed reference aside, the land lord there looks almost exactly (Although not entirely) completely not unlike Barliman Butterbur.

So it is interesting, (though not very interesting), that one expects him to have a Butterbur like voice… which of course he does... on occasion, though not all of the time. I think he puts it on when I am around.

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

hahahaha... I'm a part time rockwall instructor at our local gym and over the weekend, a coworker and i were putting helmets on our students (5th/6th graders) and he had chalk from climbing on his hands, so when he let go of one helmet, there was his handprint in white chalk on the front. I started laughing my head off and when he started giving me weird glances i tried to explain about the uruk hai helmets with the white hand of saruman, but he was like... Um.. If you say so... while trying to edge away from me. I'm so misunderstood.

Until recently I lived near a city called Riverdale. We were shopping one day, and I asked my parents if we could go to "Rivendell" so I could go to this store to see if they added any new Tolkien books to their Tolkien section. When I realized what I had just said, I nearly passed out in a giggle-fit. My mom didn`t get what I was laughing at, but my dad did. "What do you want to go to Rivendell for? Want to see if your Strider is there?" he asked me. I`ve done that 3 times now.

By the way Lady Snickerdoodle, I love your sig!

I just noticed today that a garbage can outside my school says "Pippin & Frodo Rock". Why it says that, I have no idea, but it sure made me happy to see it.

[Pallando]

One of my teachers resembles Ejiah, except he's very, very tall and has brown eyes. One of my (female) classmates asked me if I would ask him out. O_o;

Here's a little fun thing: When me and a couple friends were talking about LotR during lunch, I mimicked Gollum. They seriously were freaked out by it. Heh heh heh... Silly people... I mean, all I said was:

They ssstole it from usss... Nasssty Hobbitsesss... Thievesss... They took our Preciousss, yesss...

I'm planing on mimicking one of the Ring-Wraiths next... *evil grin*

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

Anyone seen Napoleon Dynamite? Can't you just picture gollum going, "whats totsss preciousss?" and Napoleon and Sam yelling, "you flippin IDIOT!!!" Sorry, random. (that's where my sig comes from... Thanks, Nimrodel!)
