You know you're obsessed with LOTR when ... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 01-21-2008, 01:09 PM

When your friend *cough* Laurinque*cough* who was previously obsessed with Hairy Pooper, is now making all of our friends in our lunch group annoyed with LotR talk! (which most of them have either read LotR and TH or are in the process of reading them... but I've read more than all of them!

I'm in the process of reading HoME and have already read the Sil!)

Like mentioned elsewhere...

When the word lego makes you first think of Legolas.

(And my mind just made some odd twist and I almost ended up writing "makes you first stink of Edoras".

)

When you're the only one in the building who might know the names of LotR action figures...and all your co-workers know to call you.

When your lecturer uses a Tolkien example, mistakenly says that Eowyn is Theoden's daughter and you (admittedly along with the 5 or 6 males in the class) mutter loudly that he means niece.

When you go to the Seattle Art Museum, and you sincerely explain to the man passing out these pins that, "I love him too, he's such a great character." and the man thinks your nuttier than the dada exhibit.

This happened a long time ago, but at least my friend got it after I explained how versitile this pin could be...

Pathetic or just plain good sense and bildung? Well, that's the question...

... just thinking it from outside the Tolkien universum...

When you've fought to defend Frodo's honor. Please don't ask me, it was painful.
