Everything I need to know I learned from LOTR

[Carnimírië]

1. Spiders are truly nasty creatures. Squish them.

2. Poetry is appropriate for all occaisions.

3. Monarchy does work.

4. Some trees like fire, some trees hate it. It really depends on the tree.

5. Prophesy does come true. Maybe not in the way you expected, but it does come true.

6. If you call to your rope, it will come to you.

7. When you step out onto the Road, be careful. It may sweep you off to places you never imagined.

1. Don't wear rings for extended periods of time. they could turn you into a wraith. after all, you can't be too careful.

2. Even pretty people can get ugly. (oh, but I could get that from the real world, couldn't I?

3. Just because you are immortal, doesn't necessarily mean you can't die. after all, just look at Gil-Galad, poor guy....

hmm... no more pop into my mind.

Cheers!

Anytime there's a last, it's only the last until the next last (Last Alliance of Elves and Men, Baby! At least, until PJ decides to add another LAST Alliance!)

Legolas is GOD. He can walk on water! (Hey, snow is just frozen water!!)

Anytime something bad, dramatic, sad, or life-changing happens, music starts and sets the perfect mood.

To untie the rope holding your hands, just roll under a horse so that it's about to stomp on you.

Men in Middle Earth find no need to change their underwear.... EVER.

Elves are hot.

When over the shoulder of an Orc and you want to make sure someone finds you, just unclasp your pin with your lips and drop it. Not only can you actually unclasp it with your lips, butthe Orcs behind you won't notice.

~Never forget about that little sidedoor right next to the place where the Uruks are bashing in the gate. They'll never notice it, so you might as well use it.

I've thought about this one a lot! There's always a convenient door that the bad guys forget to guard.

You can actually repel a Nazgul by pointing a stick at it and shouting "Expecto Patronum!"

My favorite!!

If you want to bribe a hobbit, you best do it with mushrooms, not gold.

If it's ever dark and stuffy, stay away from spider webs.

The best way to escape a bunch of enemies is to get lost in a magical forest. If that is unavailable, getting lost in a giant marsh is the next best thing.

You never just take the Eagles and get it done in a day. Instead, you spend near a year on a quest, nearly dying multiple times and getting armies to fight against each other.

If there is trouble, call 911 and an Eagle will promptly come to pick you up or help you out.

Never refer to an unknown dwarf as "he", even if it looks like a male. You never know.

Likewise, never refer to an unknown elf with long hair as a "she". You never know.

Boromir's right. You don't simply walk into Mordor. You run. And preferably you get carried part way.

Always a good thing to carry an extra pipe around with you. There might be a barrel or two of pipeweed just floating around somewhere on the way.

The most important one of all!

The more armor you're wearing, the more likely you'll be killed.

Notice that? I did.
