LOTR Sightings!

[Imladris]

Maybe not necessarily stupid, but Barliman was exceptionally slow if you get my meaning. *nods significantly*

Hmmm...I wish that I knew of people who looked like people from LotR...my brother saw some person on the street who looked like Orlando Bloom, does that count?

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

Imladris- I have seen Orlando Bloom so many times it isn't even funny. But I think I was hallucinating for half the time- in the the other half they really DID look like OB, causing me to follow them around for a little while... (yes, I support stalkerism, life would be so boring without it) And I don't see whats so wrong with looking like Arwen (whoever said it, I'm too lazy to go back and check) I dressed up as her for half of halloween (when I couldn't stand my fairy wings anymore- just took them off and braided the sides of my hair) I don't think I pulled it off though.

Who is karl Urban...? I've heard his name but I'm having a brain fart at the moment. He's either Eomer or Theodred... right?

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

I remembered- definitely Eomer because Theodred dies. Sorry about that.

There's a kid at my school who is a carbon copy of Elijah Wood, I swear. Everyone calls him "the Frodo kid". And at another school near me, there's an Orlando look-alike.

Abedithon le,

~*~Aranel~*~

[Ainaserkewen]

Wow Sapphire_Flame wish I went to your school. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Actually, theres this kid who just moved into my school...he's no carbon copy of our favourite little ring-bearing hobbit, but something about him just makes me think of Elijah Wood.
No one else seems to notice, I think it's just me and I'm crazy, but I swear he has the same nose and eye shape(though not the same colour) And he has "hockey hair" if you don't know what that means you're lucky(lousiy canadian guys and there overly long hair) Anyways, it looks like the Frodo wig only lighter.
I think I am going nuts...maybe this kid just has what I like to call an "elvish" face, like Frodo...

[Shire Flower]

I’ve never seen a person who looked almost identical to one of the LOTR actors or actresses. (Once I saw a guy wearing a brown pointed “wizard style” hat though... He looked like he belonged in Middle Earth, smoking a pipe with Gandalf in some idyllic countryside.... Perhaps a Radagast the Brown lookalike?) However, my dad looks ALMOST IDENTICAL to Denethor in a painting called “Denethor Meets a Halfling” by Douglas Beekman. It’s so weird... it’s like the painter was using my dad as a model.

[Nehani]

Two days ago, I was at one of the last Symphony rehearsals. I saw one of the late violinists run in, and I only saw the side of face. His hair was dyed blond at the tips, and for a while it seemed that he had pointy ears. I gasped (really, and squeeked at the same time). Then he sat down in front of me, to my disapointment, and he had normal ears again.

[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.

[astarielle]

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

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

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)

[Ainaserkewen]

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.

[Miriel Undomiel]

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

[Saraphim]

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.

[Miriel Undomiel]

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

[Gothmog]

A guy in my class lookes just like Gollum, and he acts the same way too!!!
He´s a big LoTR-fan so he has bought a replica of the ring wich he calles "my prrrecious...

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,

[Hookbill the Goomba]

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.

[Nimrodel_9]

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!

[Orominuialwen]

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*

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Physics Professor Butterbur strikes again. Yes, the third cousin of Barliman the Innkeeper, 84(not 78) times removed. He was teaching us anew about Kinematics, when he started teaching about deriviation and integration. Hey, Mr, this is Physics, not Calculus! I ended up saying, "You don't say..."

Later days! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
->Elenrod

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

I don't get it... what's Kinematics? And how would Butterbur know it? Anyway, I feel very sad because yesterday I asked my friends a completely hypothetical question. What would I look like with plastic surgery elf ears? They couldn't stop laughing for 9 minutes. I timed it. It is my fate to be misunderstood... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

[dragoneyes]

Gandalf once stopped for me at a zebra crossing. I think he thought me strange the way I stared as I crossed the road. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

hahaha!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I don't get it... what's Kinematics?

Kinematics have something to do with force and motion.

And how would Butterbur know it?

I don't know...but he's not the Barliman Butterbur...just some random descendant.

I feel enlightened. yay. I saw someone in town wearing a Frodo Lives t-shirt.

[Ainaserkewen]

Gotta get me one of those...

I was at a Music Festival yesterday and today, and the way it works is that (monday) we sang and then the adjudicator comes onstage to give a few pointers. Our adjudicator I swear looked just like Hugo Weaving. His facial expressions down to the veins on his forhead. It was weird, really weird, because he emphasided the right words and had the same nose and everything. Actually, he looked more like Agent Smith than Elrond because he had the bad combover, but Hugo Weaving clone...I think so.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

This university is infested with LotR characters! My Speech Communication professor is Ioreth-not a descendant, mind you, but the Ioreth of Minas Tirith. Why she's here is beyond all my reckoning.

Anywhen, she keeps on talking to us about her cousins(not from Imloth Melui, though), family members, random friends...you get the drift.

Later days! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

When I was in High school there was this exchange student from somewhere in the middle east, I think, He looked just like Pippin! He was in my Sinor English class for a whole of dfive minutes, but I kept running into him all the time and I was not stalking him, we just happened to have the same lunch.

Now in College I tend to do lots of stalking in the parking lots, TVI turns people into vulchures, circleing and stalking.

There's a guy in my theatre class the is called by Mr. Bloom, he sits up front so everytime my British theatre teacher says Mr. Bloom I have to look up. But it's not The Mr. Bloom, just some guy at TVI. It's realy rather anoying because it bothers me for a few minutes and I start to loose track of the lecture.

Also, in my interpersonal communications course, there's a girl,a woman realy, that is so much like a Hobbit that yesterday I started to call her Hobbit girl.(she always brings food) I just couldn't remember her name because she just started to sit at the same table in class. I told her to come to the BDs for the name generator, I wonder if she will see this post...

" What will make this class more enjoyable?" says the instructor.

" Pizza, " says Jennifer, the Hobbit girl. The others around the room start to laugh our heads off.

" We need to start calling you Rosey Cotten," I say.

" Why, " she says, " what does that mean?"

"She's a Hobbit." I say, " what are you doing after class?" she ignors me." Hey, Hobbit girl, Laughter from the lady between us.

" What?" says Jenn.

" What are you doing after class?"

"oh," she says, " haivng a smoke and going to class."

"Okay," I say.

She gets my pic for the school pic and I give her the www.barrowdowns.com on a piece of notbook paper.

I got a Frodo Lives hat the other day! And this random old lady came up to me, and asked if Frodo was a relative of mine who had a terminal disease or something. The poor dear actually thought that I was wearing the hat to celebrate the fact that he was alive! I managed to keep from laughing until she left, and then my brother and me burst out laughing. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] It was absolutely hilarious!

[Meneltarmacil]

Well, I'm pretty much positive that my Algebra teacher is actually Morgoth in disguise with all the insanely hard tests he's been throwing at me.

And something completely unrelated to what's above: I was taking a quiz in World Studies today and one of the answers to a multiple choice question about some particular quote (it had to do with the English Civil War) was "Aragorn said it to Legolas and Gimli while preparing to chase Saruman's Uruk-Hai army." Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised.

(Note: My World Studies teacher always puts an "impossible joke answer" on one of the multiple choice questions, and it just happened to be LOTR-related this time.)

but aren't all Algebra teachers morgoths in disguise? It's like they have their own race, descended from the dark lord...

that is sooo funny!!!

oh no, I just came back from this writing club at my school, and I forgot to start a LOTR discussion... I don't know exactly why I would, but I was thinking maybe they would sympathise with my obsession more than my other friends...

I know some guy who met Sean Astin at an airport. Yah. That's about it...except that I saw some guy who looked a whole lot like Aragorn(like the spitten image of him) and I followed him around in the mall because Aragorn is my favourite character, and then I found out it wasn't him when I asked him for his autograph...I felt really dumb...oh well...*sighs*

Yesss... i know of one. We call him.... ASSSASIN, although he is a chemistry teacher. Chemistry my a$$! He is trying to forge another ring...

[Lady Alasse]

My hair looks like Eowyn's (A little bit) If I don't blow dry it and then I sleep on it wet. The only problem is I have brown hair, not blond. I've worn it that way a couple of times, but it gets tangeled to often if I wear it down.

[Ainaserkewen]

I don't know what's wrong with me...I'm seeing Hugo Weaving look alikes everywhere!!! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] I went to see my doctor(whom I've neglected for the last 8 years) and he's a new doctor whom I've never met, except for the fact that he's kinda bald, he's another Hugo clone. I think I'm going crazy.
