When cooking, especially grilling out, I ask about the accompanying dishes.

"What I wouldn't give for some nice taters!" *and especially if someone looks at me funny:*"...PO-TAY-TOES!"

Like Sam in Ithilien, talking to Gollum.

OMG i do the potatoes thing all the time!! like when someone doesn't understand something you said (it doesn't have to be lotr related though no one understands me when i get tolkienish anyway) you lean in really close to their face and explain, "po-TA-toes!" and then go back to whatever you were doing without further comment. Try it! but its REALLY hard to keep a straight face. Usually you burst out laughing in their face and spray spit all over them.

hmm... i use lotr quotes all the time. like when my family's going on a trip or something and we're all spazzing at the last moment packing and stuff, I (half way out the door) lean back in and cry, "Forth Eorlingas!" and then go down the steps humming "the road goes ever on and on.."

and one time, during a sleepover when the lights went out and i was trying to get a flashlight to work, I started banging it and saying, "Aiya earendil elenion ancalima!" most insistently, but my friend did not get it.

Also when you're cooking something its fun to shout out "FRY YOU FOOLS!!!" at random intervals.

I do a lot of stuff.... like saying LOTS AND LOTS of Gollum quotes. One thing about that is that I can do it really well (or so people say) so I always friek people out when I do that.
Another thing my cousin (firefoot) and I do a lot is sing "Hey! Ho! To the bottle I go!...." and that usually frieks people out. Nobody gets our "strange" obsession!
Another thing I do is say the "You shall not pass!" when I don't want someone to come into my room. That usually keeps my annoying siblings away.
I can't think of anything else at the moment, but I'm sure I will later!

Hmm...all very good!

Sometimes, if I'm upset, and talking to someone, I say, "Yea, I will drink thy blood gladly", quoting Turin Turambar's sword. It gets weird looks.
Hm...lots of things that Merry and Pippin say in FOTR are good quotes; nice and random, too.
It's also fun to grab your siblings friends as they walk by your room, pull them in and say, "Are you frightened? Not nearly enough!" and push them back out.
I like to quote Bilbo's birthday speech; usually under my breath, though.
"Get thee gone and take thy due place" is excellent! I love using it.
And of course there is talking to animals (and people) in Sindarin and Quenya.
It's not really a quote, but you say random things that, in context, are beautiful pieces of advice, like, "Many are the strange chances of the world and helps oft shall come from the hands of the weak when the Wise falter.", but on their own, well...are random.
And, of course, if someone's insulting me, I growl and say, "my house has not earn such names from any elf, be he king or no". It shuts people up quite nicely.
I was at the mall the other day, and someone sitting behind me in the food court had chinese food. I turned around and said, " Is it nice, my preciousss? Is it juicy? Is it scrumtiously crunchable?" I scared him.
The twinkie game, the one where you replace certain words in LOTR quotes with 'twinkie', or 'pants' is good for freaking people out...
This isn't really a quote, but seeing Bakishi's version of Bilbo made me say, "Hm...so Bilbo's been dealing in Crack again.." He's SO TWITCHY in Bakishi's movie! -growls-
This isn't a quote either, but...the first time my friend saw TTT, when Gandalf casts back the grey robes and reveals himself as Gandy the White, she yelled, "oh my God, it's Jesus!"
More as they, well, appear in life, I suppose.

XD using inspiration from you all, I went out with my family today and probably convinced them that I need a therapist.

on IM just now, I had to get up and get another cookie (hehe..) so i said "brb one sec" and then as an afterthought, added "I'm diminishing and going into the west, if u want to know" when i got back, I was trying to think of a clever quote to use, but I couldnt think of anything. Help, anyone? Yeah and then my friends and I were talking about how we've been lazing around all week eating cookies/brownies/candy and stuff, so in a fit of insanity, i typed in, "*looks at butt* It's getting heavier, Sam..." which got many amusing reactions. i love keeping my friends awake.
(and no I don't support eating disorders, like i said I was randomly being crazy)
