Word hallucinations

[Luinalatawen]

Has anyone else ever glanced at a word and had to stop a second because you thought that word was LOTR-related? I have seen:

Billabong - Balrog
Star! - Istari

There were a few more too, but I can't remember them. It's weird though- makes you think you're crazy!

[Shy Hobbit]

Do I ever! And sometimes you actually see words that are middle earth related (to people like you and me anyways)

We drove by a building that said "Orc"

Instead of Enterprise, some buisnesses shorten to "Ent"

Anywho, here are some halucinations of mine.

Acorn: Aragorn

Boring: Boromir (no offense meant to Boromir!)

River: Rivendell

And the other day my dad couldn't remember the meaning of a word so he asked me "Grace, do you know what narcism means?" I nearly replied "Oh, that's Aragorns, but it's reforged now". I have more but I can't seem to think of them. Don't you hate it when that happens?

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Agg! Yes!

Hello!-Mellon

There are more but I can't remember them as well. Ag! I remember I thought something said Elrond once...

[Shy Hobbit]

Random bits from the movie will pop into my head at times as well. This weekend we were supposed to be at a certain place, but couldn't find it. And we were in a huge city that I'm not used to, I've lived in the boonies so long. I kept thinking "I have no memory of this place" and the music for that scene was running through my head the whole time. Yeah, that's when I saw the building that said "Orc".

[Rynoah, the Overly-Happy]

Boring: Boromir (no offense meant to Boromir!)

I read this the same way. How depressing. smilies/wink.gif

Far away: Faramir
Ballhog: Balrog
Argon (the element): Aragorn

There's a sign in my hometown that has "Rivendell" on it. I should take pictures.

[eleanor_niphredil]

The ear, nose and throat ward at the hospital is shortned to ENT ward. I could just imagine all the sick ents!

[Sapphire_Flame]

There's a neighborhood, complex, thing near me that's called Brandywine, if that counts for anything. Let's see......

habit => hobbit (This has given me an unfortunate tendency to spell habit with two b's. smilies/eek.gif yikes.)

I'll be back if I think of more...

[Galenfea of Mirkwood.]

I do the Argon / Aragorn thing all the time, and also Boron / Boromir. I have a problem with Periodic tables

[dragoneyes]

I always see 'took' and immediately think they've forgotten to capitalize the T. Then I remember took is a word, not just a name.

[mark12_30]

...and when I'm writing about Pippin, I keep catching myself writing things like, "he took a deep breath" or "he took another look" or "he took a moment" or "it took his breath away" or....

[Rynoah, the Overly-Happy]

I just did the dumbest thing at the store. There was a sign saying that "Greenleaf Lettuce" was on sale. Naturally, I thought it said, "Greenleaf Legolas" and had to do a second and third take. Someone shoot me.

[Vuelve]

i also have the same habit/Hobbit problem. but i did catch myself when i switched them accidently on a test. smilies/eek.gif

[Eressië Ailin]

There was a sign saying that "Greenleaf Lettuce" was on sale. Naturally, I thought it said, "Greenleaf Legolas" and had to do a second and third take.

LOL!!! I've done that quite a few times. The first time it happened I was like, They can't sell Legolas. Wait... that's not Legolas, that's lettuce. Oh yeah... it is lettuce... And the thing was, I had said it out loud, so everyone was looking at me in a weird way. BTW, welcome to the Downs, Vuelve!!

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

my friend thought "babett" said "hobbit"
and on my DSL internet thing it says "ent ethernet"
i remember i saw token or something and i was all "what? does that say tolkien?" and i said it out loud too. my friends just gave me their oh-never-mind-its-just-becka look.

[Lily Bombadil]

Sometimes when I see Elton John written somewhere, I think it says Elrond & vice-versa. & if it counts for anything, my friend's dad always asks why all these girls love "LEGLESS". BTW I never knew that there was a real Brandywine River until I watched the History Channel.

------------------------
Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo!
Ring a dong! hop along! fal lal the willow!

[dragoneyes]

i remember i saw token or something

I saw that and immediately thought: 'You saw TOLKIEN!!?' Then I read the rest of the sentence and realised that I had indeed done the exact same things as you.

[peonydeepdelver]

Man, I do this soooo many times. token= Tolkien, boron= Boromir, argon= Aragorn or Agronath, habit= hobbit, but there's also a famous poet from my city named John Greenleaf Whittier and I'm like, "Wow, is he related to Legolas? Nah... he's a boring old poet." smilies/tongue.gif I also connect mirror with miruvor, peregrin falcon (a bird)= lil old Pip, and The Sims somehow gets repeatedly called The Silmarillion. Heck knows why... smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

When we first got our periodic tables, me and my ONLY OTHER lotr crazed friend were poking each other and pointing out Boron and Argon. Hehehehe...
Also, I saw Riverdale on the TV and I was all What? Rivendell?

[Firondoiel]

There's this store called "Unfinished Works" and everytime I pass it I always have to do a double take because I think it says "Unfininshed Tales". You'd think I'd know by now that it doesn't. smilies/rolleyes.gif There was a time I was in a book store and they had a sign on a book shelf that said J-R. Yes I thought it said J.R.R. Tolkien and had to stop and stare at it to realize it didn't.

[akhtene]

Never thought I would start doing it smilies/biggrin.gif
Today my sister brought a CD by Era. What do you think I read on the cover? Exactly! smilies/biggrin.gif Spent some time thinking what kind of Music it could be, then asked the sister to read the name aloud! I didn't tell her what the matter was.

[Lathriel]

In dutch an Elephant is called an Olifant. So each time I read it I think of Tolkein's Oliphaunt. Cause both words have about the same pronounciation! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Shy Hobbit]

I saw a toothpaste box and thought it said "One Tube to rule them all" when it really said "Whiter teeth with One Tube, Guaranteed!"

If that's not a sign I need help, I don't know what is.

[Rynoah, the Overly-Happy]

Hee hee, Shy Hobbit! smilies/biggrin.gif

I saw some actor named Richard Olyphant or something of the sort and almost died laughing. Mom was the only other one who got it.

I was also writing last night and chanced to write "familiar", only I made a mistake and wrote "faramir". So I scribbled it out, shaking my head and started to write it again. "Faramir" popped up again... and again. So I have three scribbles in one sentence where "familiar" became "faramir". Shoot me.

[Sindafalathiel]

Wow...I'm not alone! Every time I hear/read anything about the battle of the Argonne Forest(WWI)I always have to look at it again...for some odd reason I always think Aragorn. There's also a street sign where I live that says Loth Lorian. Needless to say, I often get confused with that one.

[VanimaEdhel]

Today I said "Gala" and my mom said "What? Gollum?!" I have her so well-trained...maybe it's because she saw The Two Towers yesterday again with me (fourth time for her as well as me...aren't you proud of me for getting so many people addicted?).

[peonydeepdelver]

In school we're reading a book called Across 5 Aprils, it's about the Civil War, and the general store owner's name is Sam Gardiner. I often accidentally call him Sam Gamgee smilies/biggrin.gif . And there's a mean guy in the town named Guy Wortman, and I always accidentally call him Grima Wormtongue. Then the schoolmaster's name is Shadrach, but once I called him Shagrat. smilies/rolleyes.gif Oh yeah, NEVER read that book. At our school they bought like 50 copies of it, and 5 pages are missing, the rest are all scrambled up. smilies/wink.gif

[Rynoah, the Overly-Happy]

Then the schoolmaster's name is Shadrach, but once I called him Shagrat.

Ever heard the song "Shadrach, Mishak, Abednigo" (can't spell those names for the life of me)? I slip up many times and sing, "Shagrat, Mishak and Abednigo" instead. smilies/biggrin.gif

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Yesterday I was in the car and on the radio the guy was all "Now for your E-M-T 411!" and to my mom I said "What? Did he say E-N-T? ENT? Hahahaa!" Then I was peeking at this book and it said Realms of Valor and I was like "VALINOR?!? Oh, damn. Valor." Then I was in the Body Shop and I saw a tube with 'Gingko Biloba' on it, and I thought it said Gingko Bilbo. Lastly, in our province there is a town called Gimli. I saw it on the news and I said, "Hee hee! Gimli! You know, from Lord of the Rings!...The dwarf's name is Gimli. You know, Gimli!...Yeah, I'll shut up now."

[VanimaEdhel]

There is apparently some clothing company called Croft and Barrow. Whenever I see their clothing, I go, "Barrow-Downs? Where?" And, if I see it out of the corner of my eye, I think I'm looking at something related to the Lord of the Rings, which causes a very audible gasp and spin, which leads to some very strange looks from other people.

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

There is a region in Spain named Aragon. Needless to say I always seem to confuse that one. Every time I see the words fellowship or ring, no matter what context they are in, I start thinking about LOTR and then realize that whatever it was that I read was intended to mean something different. This often causes horrible puns, bcause one of my friend's last names is Ring. Heehee. smilies/biggrin.gif I somehow think that Boron is similar to Sauron... don't ask. There is a street in my neighborhood called Greenleaf. That always produces laughs. That's all for now. I'll go think of more word hallucinations I've had.

[Arien Sunlight]

Me wants to answer here!!

Well, the word "hobbies" with hobbits and as I'm mexican there's a word givin me a hard time "Legales" with "Legolas" smilies/biggrin.gif

[Sapphire_Flame]

Ever heard the song "Shadrach, Mishak, Abednigo" (can't spell those names for the life of me)? I slip up many times and sing, "Shagrat, Mishak and Abednigo" instead.

How about "Shagrat, Grishnakh, and Abednigo"? We were talking about the original three in my Sunday School class and that leapt to my mind. My friend and I giggled over it for a good ten minutes, until our teacher told us to be quiet.

Another Sunday School one: Solomon => Saruman. We were reading this section about him and everytime someone read the name Solomon I wanted to yell, "It's Saruman!! Get it right!" smilies/mad.gif But, yeah, I didn't, but I should've...

[dragoneyes]

It wasn't written down, but there was an advert on the radio and all I heard was mumble mumble mumble barrow. I started listening and was going 'Barrow what? Wight? Downs?' It turned out to be a most boring advert, talking about wheel barrows though smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Salix]

Actually, I have this game-with-bad-graphics that has a monster thing that's called a 'Barrow Wight'. The Wight family also comes with a Tunnel-Wight. The 'Barrow Wight' seems to steal constitution and dexerity. smilies/rolleyes.gif Before it could attack me, I fire-bolted it to death.

[Arathiriel]

I saw a car license plate once that said:

"BigMoot"

And I thought of "Ent Moot" immediately...

Also there's a subdivision around here we pass by alot called "Riverdale"...

And let tell you if I knew for sure any Elves were living in its houses I'd be flying down its streets trying to see them!

[the guy who be short]

you people need help. but i'll admit to the argon = aragorn one.

[Firondoiel]

you people need help.

Yeah, we know. Though it's not just with LOTR words that this happens to me.

[Rynoah, the Overly-Happy]

Though it's not just with LOTR words that this happens to me.

True, dat. All it takes is the glimpse of a capital X and a hyphen to set me off.

Loiter = LotR to the tired eye.

[the guy who be short]

this is off topic but... heres one reason i need help
in our dining room, our cabinet and fridge are next to each other. for some reason, i look in the cabinet for food and fridge for the calculator. happens all the time

[Sapphire_Flame]

yeah, I do that sometimes too.

[kittiewhirl1677]

These are SO funny. It has happened to me before, though, like sometimes somebody says, "Look! Do you like my ring?"
And I say, "Where did you get the ring of power? IT's EVIL! PUT IT BACK! Take it AWAY!"
And they all stare at me like, *huh? are you okay?*.

[Ainaserkewen]

Sometimes if i'm really in a LOTR cloud, I could see the weirdest things, but forget them later. But I once went to this youth group thing at a camp, and the fist thing I noticed was that the main lodge was called Rivendail. Then after I noticed pictures on the wall, hand drawn saying Bilbo, Gandalf, and all the gang. Turns out that our whole thing was based on LOTR, it was weird but I got to be in team Frodo!!! The pictures were really cool to.

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Lucky. Team Frodo. Man I'm tired...but today on Jeopardy one of the questions was "The "Grey" Wizard of Middle-earth" and I yelled "IT'S GANDALF!!! GUESS GANDALF!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!" And then after that for about five minutes I just sat there giggling like mad.

[Tinuviel the Nightingale]

Me and my class were reading a Shakespeare play and there was a line that said, "All that glisters is not gold..."
I was half asleep at the time so I sat up and said "Strider!" Right in the middle of my English teacher reading. They just stared....

[Rynoah, the Overly-Happy]

*cackles*

but today on Jeopardy one of the questions was "The "Grey" Wizard of Middle-earth" and I yelled "IT'S GANDALF!!! GUESS GANDALF!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!" And then after that for about five minutes I just sat there giggling like mad.

I love when they do this to me. I remember they had an X-Men-related question at one time on another game show. I heard the clue (can't even remember what it was, or the name of the show) from my position in the kitchen. I covered the distance between the dining room and living room before the host even finished and I was jumping up and down shouting the answer. And... they guessed wrong! WRONG! I wasn't happy.

[dragoneyes]

There was a quiz on the radio, all I heard was '...Tolkien's third book in the trilogy...' and of course I just yelled RETURN OF THE KING! It took the contestant considerably longer but at least they got it right.

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

One time I saw a question on a Jeopardy special with child contestants. The question was something or other about which book had to do with J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, and then named four books, one of which was Tom Shippeys the Road to Middle Earth. Needless to say, I knew the answer. The kid who answered the question got it wrong. That made me knid of mad because it was obvious to ME.

[kittiewhirl1677]

I know, it's really annoying when youre obsessed with something and you hear someone getting something that you know is right wrong, and you get all mad and.. yeah it happens to me.

But anyway, this is getting way off-topic. Isn't this supposed to be word-hallucinations?

[Eressië Ailin]

What does any of this have to do with word hallucinations?

Anyways, back on topic, if there are any Les Miz fans here, or people who've read the book, then they should who Lesgles is. The first time I read his name, I immediately though, 'What the...?!?! How did Legolas get there?!?!' Then I realised that Legolas and Lesgles were two different, albeit fictional, people. I also got sweet 'lil Gavroche and Gorbachev mixed up in History once.

Salix: That was a good one. smilies/evil.gif

kittiewhirl1677: I once jumped my friend for his junior class ring screaming that it was my precious and he had stolen it from me. Needless to say, nobody shows me any of their new jewelry. smilies/evil.gif

I've definitely seen 'habit' & 'hobbies' = 'Hobbit'; and 'Argon' = 'Aragorn'

Here's a new one though:
Eleven = Elven


Love,
Faybevin

[Rynoah, the Overly-Happy]

I hate "eleven" just for that particular purpose. It's impossible to count how many times I've mistakenly written "elven" where "eleven" should be and vice versa.

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

i just did the elven-eleven thing today. ugh. i hate eleven. And i just typed elven and had to backspace.

[Goldberry]

In school we're reading a book called Across 5 Aprils, it's about the Civil War, and the general store owner's name is Sam Gardiner. I often accidentally call him Sam Gamgee . And there's a mean guy in the town named Guy Wortman, and I always accidentally call him Grima Wormtongue. Then the schoolmaster's name is Shadrach, but once I called him Shagrat. Oh yeah, NEVER read that book. At our school they bought like 50 copies of it, and 5 pages are missing, the rest are all scrambled up.

lol, we read the same book in school and I thought the exact same thing!!! smilies/biggrin.gif lol . . . yeah my book was really ripped and torn too, but I think I did part of that ripping, tee hee. smilies/wink.gif smilies/tongue.gif

[Eressië Ailin]

You know, the Gamgee family was later called the Gardener family. Just to give nightmares to the Sam fans~

Sam Gardiner=Sam Gamgee/Gardener

[Luinalatawen]

I'm going to go off-topic again, oh well...

but today on Jeopardy one of the questions was "The "Grey" Wizard of Middle-earth" and I yelled "IT'S GANDALF!!! GUESS GANDALF!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!" And then after that for about five minutes I just sat there giggling like mad.

Whenever I see something LotR on TV I go mad too! I was watching Sat. Night Live a couple weeks ago when they were doing weekend update and Chris Kattan came on as Gollum! It was so cool, he was all hunched over, had no hair, and was mumbling about his precioussssss! I was screaming my head off. And when Ian McKellen was hosting and he did the "conjurer of cheap tricks, not trying to rob you" line I was so excited!

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Yesterday I was at the store and I saw a medicine bottle on the shelf which said lutein. I thought "Luthien? What? Oh, it's Lutein, that must be some herb or whatnot... what is Lutein?" It was kind of weird. smilies/eek.gif

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Lutein is for your eyes. I think.

I was looking at my friends CD upside down, it said EVANESCENCE on the front, and I thought it said Evenstar. Then on her computer screen, her lil sis was typing something and it said 'Eligon' and I was like "What? Elijah? Huh? Oh, Eligon." And then I was looking in the library and I saw a book called 'Farnor'. Yep, you guessed it. "ARNOR?!?!?!? Oh, Farnor. Damn."

[Salix]

I was reading Letters, and one of the letters is to a 'Sam Gamgee'. Imagine that, someone real named Sam Gamgee actually sent a letter to JRR Tolkein!

[Rynoah, the Overly-Happy]

Valerian root = Valarian root. Yes, indeed....

[Annunfuiniel]

Ok, I've been experiencing one "hallucination" which really annoyes me. I'm just reading Erich Auerbach's Mimesis and one of the authors mentioned there is Ammianus. I hope my lecturer will understand whom I'm referring to if and when I write Annuminas in the test! smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/wink.gif

[Arafangwen]

Wow, I must be really bad 'cause every example you guys posted eg=Argon-Aragorn, I read them all Aragorn-Aragorn and so on and so forth....
Yeaaah, I had to read everything like, four times each to figure out what the similar word was supposed to be! Oh well, I guess it's like dyslexia, you over come it , or you get professional help smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[The Evenstar]

I've seen a few:

Smeagol: Smelly (don't ask me where I got that from!)

Sauron: Saucepan

Mirkwood: Milkwood

Hobbit: Hobble

Celeborn: Celebrate

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

hmm...i just read celebrate 'kelebrate'....
I had sort of a sound hallucination. There was a commercial on the TV for V-GO. Yep. I heard "New Viggo!" and I yelled "WHAT?!?" and turned around really fast. But then I got extremely disappointed. Then I was reading a book about Spanish people, and it said "Aragon" and I was like "Whaat? Oh, Aragon. Not Aragorn." Then this guy's name was Avram and I thought it said Arwen out of the corner of my eye.

[kittiewhirl1677]

I was in the car, and we passed by this gas station called Queenswood gas station or something like that. Well, as you might have guessed, I read the word "Queenswood" as "Mirkwood". Don't ask. But it does sound kind of funny, I mean, 'Mirkwood gas station'. Imagine all those elves pumping gas into their cars! smilies/biggrin.gif

I was cracking up for a while after that.

[kittiewhirl1677]

I was reading a forum, and at the beginning of a sentence I see the words "Elven Gandalf", and I think, that can't be right! I read it again, and I realize it's actually "Even Gandalf".

Elven Gandalf... hehe!

[Mirabella]

And you people think you have it bad!

My uncle's name is Armen. Yesterday I was writing something about him and- you guessed it! I flipped the "M", and there was an elven princess where a psyc. proffesor should be!! smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/eek.gif

[Luinalatawen]

I don't know if this is a hallucination or not, but in the Chicago Tribune in the Arts/Entertainment section under the movie showings, if you look under the Bensenville Theater, it says "Lord of the Rings: The TWIN Towers." I couldn't believe it actually said that. I know there was the whole thing before with questioning the name. It's a mistake on someone's part.

[Arafangwen]

I just had a really bad one yesterday. Anagram=Aragorn, does anyone else have trouble with those? Oh and Boston, yeah, I read it Boromir.... I think I'm getting worse=Wormtonge... Ahhhhhh...... I think I need therapy.....

[the guy who be short]

everyone has this

legless - legolas

more uncommon:

smiley - smeagol
aramanth (wind on fire trilogy) - aragorn
groin- gloin
theres a jewish letter, giml - gimli
kazaa - khazad
a menu - ai-menu
glorified - glorfindel
finger - fingolf, fingolfin, finwe, finarfin...
scouring - sauron

[Katherine712]

Being the extremely kind person that I am, I warned my sister ( corrupted from my lotr obsession)before reading the merchant of venice not to get excited: the character's name is sadly indeed of Argon, not Aragorn. I saw an elementary school kid's paper about "The Two Towers" and did a double take in the hallways before realizing that it was not a movie review. smilies/eek.gif

[Eressië Ailin]

Welcome to the Downs!

A guy in my class has a shirt that says 'IZOD' on it. When I first saw it, I thought that it said 'AZOG.' It was kinda funny when I pointed it out to him.

Apparently there's a guy at my school named Qin Yu. And of course, I thought that it said 'Quenya.' smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

I work for an insurance company, and an agent sent in an application for a beauty salon. He had hand-written (instead of typed) the name of the business. He had written (& misspelled): SALLON ON THE CREEK. I read: SAURON ON THE CREEK.

I guess when you're no longer the Dark Lord, you have to make a living somehow.

[Beruthiel]

LOL these are so funny
Me, my mum and my sis were driving along and we drove past this horse riding place and on the sign it said 'aragon offered here' so of course I go into a mad frenzy thinking it said 'Aragorn offered here!' I still don't know what to aragon a horse means smilies/smile.gif smilies/smile.gif smilies/smile.gif

[Tinuviel of Denton]

I just saw this link that said Legends of Middle Earth and I read it Legolas of Middle Earth.
I so do most of these.

[Daewen]

Boomer- Boromir

Habbit: Hobbit

Going: Gollum

Ear-rings- Eorlings

Ford: Frodo

Celebrate: Celeborn

---This has been happening quite often to me. I'm, glad to know I'm not alone!---

[kittiewhirl1677]

First: I was reading these, and for example one person posted: Legless=legolas and before I went past the equals sign I read legless as legolas anyway. That's what I did for almost all of the posts on this thread! smilies/eek.gif I REALLY NEED HELP!

Second: I was in the car and I saw a sign that said: deaf child area. I read it as: dwarf child area.
Also: the name of a street was Woodcliff and I read it as Mirkwood. ?????

HELP ME!!!

I've been in the car for ages today and we passed 'The Shires Hotel' and, also on this car journey there was a road sign, one of the places named on it was Middlington and the place under it was Earith

I was just reading a chapter in my social studies book about India and I saw a bunch of stuff:

Amarnath=Aranarth
Yamuna=Yavanna
Mogul=Morgul

So similar.

Also, I was reading the newspaper one day, and I saw that someone's last name was Liimatainen. I was like, WHAT!! I'm not on the BarrowDowns! I thought it was my name, Luinalatawen.

I keep reading random words as names of people here on the Downs! It's very frustrating! I almost failed a quiz the other day when I answerd a lot of the question with you guys' names on accident!

[Airehiriel]

I went to visit my family the other day, and I passed a street called Corbain, twice, and each time I first thought it said Crebain.

[Shy Hobbit]

This has got to be the wierdest one yet. This morning I saw a motor home that said "Swimmer" and I thought it said Boromir. smilies/eek.gif

Also: Longhorns= Fangorn

[dragoneyes]

There was a violin with a name tag on it and this person's name was Elstone, I just thought that 'Elfstone' was such a great name. until I stared at it for a bit longer and finally realised that it was a normal name.

[Firondoiel]

The other day I passed this street called Estes and thought it was Estel. And last night I was reading the Bible for our family devotions and I had to read the word eleven about four times and each time I almost said elven! smilies/eek.gif smilies/eek.gif That would have been soooo bad!

[Rose Cotton]

In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets there's this huge spider named Aragog.

So when I was watching the movie for the first time whenever someone would say Aragog I'd always hear Aragorn instead. I was like "What? They changed it's name to Aragorn!" It was driving me crazy.

[Luinalatawen]

Oh my, oh my! Today I was taking my AP English Lit test and there were two poems comparing Eros, the Greek god of love. I was well on my way with writing my essay, and I suddenly stopped and almost burst out laughing. I realized that I wasn't writing Eros, I was writing Elros!! You could only imagine my surprise; there I am, trying to take a test that could earn me some college credit, and I'm not even spelling things right! And then, of course, I was thinking of the BarrowDowns and how I have to come and tell you ppl about this... ARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGG!!! I don't think I'm going to get a very good score...

[Arafangwen]

The other day on my way to work we were driving through a neighborhood and passed this wood fence that had LOTT on it, OF COURSE I turned around and stared at it thinking, "That's a great idea! LOTR on your fence!". Then I relized what it actualy said, I now call that house "Lord Of The Trees", there are a million trees in that backyard.....

[kittiewhirl1677]

I was recently doing this word search, and I had SO MANY word hallucinations, it's not even funny... well, it isn't anyway, but.

Yeah.
Um.
So anyway, I also have a lot of problems with periodic tables and LotR, especially since we're doing chemistry in science right now and I spend to much time with the periodic table...

I made a list of the word halluciantions I had with the word search, so if I find that list I'll put it up here.

[Everdawn]

someone had probably already said this.. but... I was reading the astrology and came across, Virgo... it looks remarkably like Viggo if you are skimming..

[Mizu the Disco Llama]

You ppeople are contaminating my mind...I'll never look at a periodic table the same way again! smilies/wink.gif

[Elennar Starfire]

In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets there's this huge spider named Aragog.
So when I was watching the movie for the first time whenever someone would say Aragog I'd always hear Aragorn instead. I was like "What? They changed it's name to Aragorn!" It was driving me crazy.


Yes, that always happens to me!! I've seen that movie at least four times (probably more, I'm not keeping track) an it bugs me sooo bad. smilies/mad.gif
other word hallucinations:
Narnia=narsil
tinfoil=tengwar
spider=strider(ha! aragog=aragorn and spider=strider! smilies/biggrin.gif )

[Mizu the Disco Llama]

Ooh, I've got one now.... Barometer = Boromir....I really need to stop watching the Waether Channel, neh?

[ElenCala Isil]

ahh, a few people were talking to each other at my table in science and they said trippin' but I could have sworn I heard Pippin! smilies/biggrin.gif same thing happened with 'holder' I heard 'haldir' and a few others that have already been mentioned! smilies/tongue.gif

[Everdawn]

*laughing* Mizu the disco Lama... thats the coolest name ive ever seen!....

[Daewen]

I was in science class and i thought that Lithuim was Luthien and Titanium (which came right after that) was Tinuviel and that Argon was Aragorn. Also, when I was painting a pillar (that is going to be used in our graduation) with some other members of the graduation comitee, i kept asking them to put a white handprint on me...no one did... smilies/frown.gif

[the guy who be short]

i was in leicester and i thought Moira street was Moria street. i need help.

[Luinalatawen]

Guy who be short, I did the same thing! I was flipping through a copy of Peter Pan or something for some strange reason, and I thought I saw Moria and got all excited. Much to my dismay, upon further investigation, I found that in reality it was Moira, the character's name. smilies/frown.gif

[Sapphire_Flame]

I was reading a book of Darwin Awards, and one of the nominations was from Dunedin, New Zealand. I honestly thought it said Dunedain, New Zealand. o.O Now wouldn't that have been too cool...

[Everdawn]

Anyone do Ancient History?, anyway, I had a test on Mesopotamia and there is a story called the epic of Gilgamesh... now do you really have to think hard to know what i wrote all over my exam?...

...(for thoes who live under rocks, it was Gil-Galad)...

[Arafangwen]

Now I'm seeing 'Hallucination' as 'Helkahothion', yeah, more Barrow Downers names as words. Proper, is now, propagandalf. Glide, is now, Gil-Galad. And now doom is a muffin(for all you crazy scene with pics peeps). Bye all!

[Nimrothiel]

I have it real bad. I've got a copy of "Bored of the Rings," and whenever I read that and then the original trilogy after it I get the names completely screwed up. smilies/mad.gif
For example:

Frodo=Frito
Gollem=Goddam
Aragorn son of Arathorn=Arrowroot son of Arrowshirt
and so on...

[Lasgalen]

Someone had written something about Elvis in their signature. For the longest time I thought it said Elvish.

[Lucinda]

hey, Sapphire Flame, i live in the place the legend of gil gamesh (or gil-galad, if you wish!) is set! Well, almost! Just across the king faisal causeway from dilmun!(or Bahrain, as it now is) Do you think I would turn immortal if I ate a bahraini pearl? or just shed my skin?

[the guy who be short]

Eru save me! In science, we were learning about Mary Mallon, a carrier of typhoid. I instantly thought mellon andmallorn. And just now i typed it Mallorn and deleted the 'n'! Argh!

[kittiewhirl1677]

This is pretty scary. I'm reading one of the Star Trek: TNG books, and I've come across so many words that look like Legolas that it's pretty freaky...
For example:
Legions of Klingon warriors = Legolas of Klingong warriors

They're nothing alike! Klingons and elves? BAD BAD BAD mix....

Solomon = Sauron

Another one from my book up above. This is really creeping me out.

[Yavanna228]

This is kind of retarded, and I don't know if this is exactly hallucination worthy, but I saw an '87' on my friend's shirt, and I automatically thought 'Beren87.' Isn't that horrible? Actually, I think about you guys' names alot. They will stick in my mind and go round and round. It's quite...odd. smilies/biggrin.gif
Peace

[Sapphire_Flame]

This is kinda weird, but everytime I see Ainaserkwen's name I automatically think it says Andy Serkis. Was that intentional?? smilies/confused.gif

[ElenCala Isil]

err.. well my mom said hobo instead of hobbit once...it was really annoying, she kept saying hobo intentionally afterwards

[Luinalatawen]

Yavanna228, when I read the "87" in your post, I also automatically thought "Beren87!!" And Sapphire, Ainaserkewen reminds me of Andy Serkis's name too.

By the way, Daewen and ElenCala, I like your new avatars.

[ElenCala Isil]

Thanks smilies/smile.gifyeah, it does seem like Andy Serkis to me too.. hehe

[Yavanna228]

Yavanna228, when I read the "87" in your post, I also automatically thought "Beren87!!"
Whew! Glad I'm not the only one like that. smilies/smile.gif Ainaserkewen is another name that sticks in my mind alot. On a bit more of a Tolkienish note, whenever I read the name Hurin in the books, for some reason, my mind thinks 'Huorn.'
Peace

[kittiewhirl1677]

At play rehersal we were fooling around, and I was talking about LotR, and my play teacher was like, "Ok, yes, let's get on with it... You can talk about Bimbo later..."

We were all like, "Who???"

And he kept saying it a and we didn't have a clue of what he was talking about... finally I go, "Do you mean Bilbo?"
And he goes, "Oh, yes, Bimbo, I mean, um, Bilbo, yes him..."

And then we all cracked up... it was hillarious!

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

These are all town names, acquired on my trip to Edmonton.

Yes, we're all crazy, doomed to be so for the rest of our lives...

[Sindafalathiel]

For some truly bizarre reason, I thought I saw Tuor on the lable of a wine bottle. After I blinked a few times, I realized it actually said Tudor. Oftentimes I say Two Towers when I'm talking about the Twin Towers, and vice versa. Also, once my friend was talking about Lord of the Dance (some CD she listens to, I don't really know) and I was like "Lord of the what?"

[Lasgalen]

Lord of the Dance, thats the musical version of Lord of the Rings, right? smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/wink.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[kittiewhirl1677]

Lol!!! Well, I have two new LotR related ones... both giving notice to In the Footsteps of the Grey Company, the RPG I was in a while ago.

So I was doing a wordsearch(for class.... amazingly difficult one, too), and I see this word, one of those that they don't mean to put in there, it's just the way the letters lined up...

The word was Hermesn. My character's name in the RPG was Hermesin!!! Sorry, I'm a little over-excited, but finding something so close to an RPG name in a school wordsearch??? smilies/eek.gif

Another thing is this(In the Footsteps of the Gray company as well):
I was reading LotR, and I come upon the word Gorgoroth, which I read as Gorthroth. I immediately reread the word, and see the same thing. As you would expect, I start to look up and go, huh? What would THAT be doing in there?

smilies/biggrin.gif

[Yavanna228]

Haha, I have done the same things with the Lord of the Dance. Being a fan of Irish dance, I am in a dance thread, and every time a member writes 'LOTD', I automatically think 'More Tolkien fans! Hurrah!' smilies/tongue.gif Pretty sad that is.

[Elennar Starfire]

I saw a book at the library and the title was "Aragones and Evanier" and naturally I thought it said "Aragorn and Evenstar"

[kittiewhirl1677]

I was at the Home Depot, and when I looked at the name of a toilet on a cardboard box, I swore that it said, Aragorn toilet! In reality, it said Argon toilet... God, I was laughing my head off after that one.

[Daewen]

There is a street called Greenleaf Ct. When I saw that I was flipping out. I'm like, "LEGOLAS LIVES THERE! DAD, TURN LEFT TURN LEFT!!! I WANT TO GO THERE!"

Not exactly a hallucination but yeah...

[Shy Hobbit]

I'll be browsing the book section at the store and it never fails, the book "Turning the Tide" always catches my eye smilies/rolleyes.gif I should know better by now.

The other day had to be my weirdest hallucination yet. I thought the box of cereal on the table said "Honey Bunches of Orcs" smilies/eek.gif Of course I laughed about that for a while smilies/biggrin.gif

(for anyone who's never heard of it, it's a cereal actually called "Honey Bunches of Oats)

[Luinalatawen]

I thought the box of cereal on the table said "Honey Bunches of Orcs" Of course I laughed about that for a while

Haha, that's a really good one, Shy Hobbit.

[Daewen]

Yeah I can just see it now. The sweet honey taste taste of Post cereal mixed with the smelly blood thirsty warrior orcs to give you a healthy part of this balanced breakfast. Hehehe...

[Yavanna228]

I was in Romania for about two weeks, and a friend of mine was talking about Canada and said something about Montreal. The way he said it made it sound like 'Moria', and I did a double take until I realised what he was saying. Nobody understood why I started laughing hysterically. smilies/biggrin.gif
Peace

[kittiewhirl1677]

This thread hasn't been posted on in a while... Oh well, it's one of my favorites. Here it goes:
The most annoying thing is that when I read the posts of almost everyone on this thread, whenever they have something like argon=aragorn, I read the first part as the second part. All your hallucinations are working on me!!! HELP!!!

[Shire Flower]

Interesting topic.

There's a page in the JC Penney catalog that says "Sizewise" in big letters. The first time I saw that page, I did a double take. "Samwise??? What in the world is Sam's name doing in there???" Then I realized that it actually said "Sizewise." However, a bit of a shock hits me every time I go by that page.

This technically isn't a word halucination, but it IS a case of LOTR on the brain. My old boss' name was Erin. One day, I was reminding myself to ask her something. "Got to ask Arwen about this before I leave. Got to ask Arwen... Wait, ARWEN??" I never actually slipped and called her that to her face, but I found myself calling her Arwen in my thoughts. It would have been interesting if her name was Sharon. (Sauron...) smilies/eek.gif

[Vladivos the Rider]

I thought a shop called the 'Village Saver' said 'Vala Sniper' once....and I've mistaken horn for Huorn quite a few times smilies/smile.gif

This happens to me constantly. When it says Sourcream&Onion chips you know what I think it says... smilies/rolleyes.gif

[StarJewel]

During English, my teacher asked us something about Catherine of Aragon. I very nearly said Aragorn. Fortunatly, I caught myself before I said something very stupid.

[Arwen1858]

I always read 'Middle East' as Middle earth. And while it's not a hallucination, once I saw the name of an author, Gilbreth, and thought, 'Oh cool! His name is a combination of Elbereth and Gilthoniel!! smilies/smile.gif

[Lily]

Every time I see Lord (like Lord of the Dance) I think it's LOTR.

[Enorëiel]

Geez, and I thought I was bad...

I do the per. table thing too along with Aragon=Aragorn, habit=hobbit (my mom's even making it worse... "You know, that's a bad hobbit" smilies/rolleyes.gif ), Middle East= Middle Earth (yep, definitly) and everytime I see the book 'The Lord of the Flies' on a book list or something I immediately go 'Awesome! Lord of the Rings' Then I read the title again and kick myself mentally.


I've also had:
Slippin' = Pippin
Marry = Merry (I do that a lot!)
Fritos = Frodo
Elvis = Elvish

Oh and also in my Driver's Ed class last year there was this kid name Elron and every time role was called I'm all "Elrond? In driver's ed?"

Not too far from me, there's a street called 'Elrod.' I always try to call it Elrond. Too bad it's not called Elrond. I now think Elrod sounds funny, because it's close, but not right.
Oh, and now, whenever I try to type the word 'aren't', my fingers automatically try to type Arwen!!
Arwen

In my city, there's a shop called something along the lines of Aragon's Hats. The first time I saw it, I thought, Hats? Why would Aragorn be selling hats?

Also, today I managed to get Rohan out of Food. I think it had something to do with Food being in strange looking type and me seeing it out of the corner of my eye.

[Amarantha_Daisy]

Heh heh heh... I'm taking chemistry this year, so I'm really being bombarded with the periodic table thing...

Also, today I managed to get Rohan out of Food.

Heh heh... When I read that, I read "food" as "Frodo" ...Ohhhhh dear. I worry about myself smilies/rolleyes.gif

that's not as bad as what I did today! My sisters were watching a kids show on tv, and somebody was holding a book called 'Rooster Rooster.' For some reason, when I saw it out of the corner of my eye, I saw 'Prancing Pony'!! I have absolutely no idea how I got that one! Maybe I just wish I lived in Me so much, I subconciously
see it everywhere. Who knows???

[Maethorien]

Today I mistook flood for Elrond, but that's not nearly so bad as "Rooster Rooster" and Prancing Pony.

[Arwen1858]

today, I was looking at the back of the case for the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade dvd, and there was an actor named Denholm. I read it as Dernhelm.

[Lady Alasse]

I work at my local library putting away all the books and dvds and yesterday I was puting away the dvds and I saw Goldfinger out the corner of my eye and thought "Glorfindel??!!"

[Daisy Brambleburr]

When my mum told her that our two landlords are called Tom and William I started laughing, and asked if there was another called Bert.

[Nehani]

I was driving yetserday, and I saw a sign that said "Pony Rides". Somehow I got "Prancing Pony" out of it.

Reading Shakespeare is very confusing, more so when your almost asleep. The othere day I got "Mt.Doom" out of "Drum Boy".

I know this isn't a word issue, but there's a radio tower at the foot of a mountian along a stream. Up that stream is a dam. Imagine that.

[Amarantha_Daisy]

Heh heh... I just got some junk mail in my inbox and read "reward" as "Rivendell"

If only it really *was* Rivendell...

[Vladivos the Rider]

I spent ages in the library looking for 'The 3 Musketeers, by Alexandre Dunlath.'

[Finwe]

(Vlad, nearly the same thing happened to me).

I found out why I couldn't find any books by Alexandre Dumas in my school library's catalog. I had been looking for an author called "Alexandre Dunland!!!!!"

[StarJewel]

Another bad one for me...our band teacher was talking about doing an opus for our next concert. All the while I was thinking, "Why does he want to have an Uruk played for band?" Then I snapped out of it.
Ok, maybe this next one isn't exactly a hallucination, but here goes. While writing a paper for English, I started writing some of it in Elvish. English/Elvish...same difference smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Arwen1858]

Today I saw the word hobbies, and was sure it said hobbits!! I was quite disappointed to find out it didn't!

[Arothir]

Argon the element reminds me of Argon son of Fingolfin. One time I saw the name Arthur and I thought of Arothir the second king of Nargothrond.

This morning my friend and I went to the school library because she had to check a book out (or something like that) and I saw a book title that made me stop and stare. I saw "Elf Matters" I'm thinking, "Hmmm... that's a bit odd..." I look to see who it's by and I see that it's written by Dr. Phil. I started to think I was crazy! "Elf Matters" by Dr. Phil? It was only then that I realized that it was "Self Matters"... Let's just say my friend wouldn't let me forget it for the rest of the day smilies/rolleyes.gif

Today while at work (my local Library) I was putting away books and I saw one that I thought said by Billy Boyd! I thought "Wow he's written an Easy Reader?" Then I realized it said Lizzy Boyd smilies/tongue.gif

there is a kid at my school named lindsay aragon and my friend heather was talking about aragorn and he goes what are you talking about me for. and the the other day she called him lindsay aragorn smilies/biggrin.gif

[Arwen1858]

I have another one. We bought Finding Nemo today, and my little sister was saying something about Marlin a few minutes ago. I thought she said Arwen, and I had to get her to repeat it 3 times before I realized she was saying Marlin, not Arwen. smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Maethorien]

The other day I was sitting in my school's library, reading my incredibly beat up copy of the Silmarillion, when I noticed a picture book on the shelf off to my left entitled, "Minas Morgul". Of course, I wondered why anyone in his/her/its right mind would write a picture book about Minas Morgul. Of course, I then realised it said, "Tim McCoul", which made alot more sense.

[Arwen1858]

today I was at the store, and saw something that said melon and I read it as saying mellon. And it's not a hallucination, but I saw a doctors office for a Dr. Balin yesterday!!

[Finwe]

Try beating this one:

I was in the store with my mum, picking out bibs to give to my little cousin at a present, and on a certain box, it said "Bibs" in slightly archaic letters. I thought it said "Bilbos" and started ranting and raving about how the store was selling poor little Hobbits, and how the wrath of the Valar would come down upon the owner of the store (it was Wal-Mart by the way). smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

Here's a list of my little hallucinations in the past week:\

I'd love to know how you got Morgoth out of General Schwarzkopf. Pray tell!

Honestly, I have no idea. I think someone may have mentioned the name in class, and the way they said it sounded like Morgoth. That's the only thing I can think of.

In my Web Design class today they had us research the history of the Internet. I went to a site and under a picture it said Token Ring which I automatically read as Tolkien Ring. I'm thinking "hey that's kind of cool, these people are Lord of the Rings Fans"... yeah... I fell for that one again. smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Arwen1858]

Just now, when I was reading through your post, Enorëiel, I saw Token ring and read it as Tolkien ring! smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Nimrothiel]

I do the periodic table thing too, as well as mixing up the characters' names from "Bored of the Rings" with "Lord of the Rings." Plus, I now read the word Fritos as Frodo and Arrowroot as Aragorn, and the phrase "fair slacks" as Faramir (do NOT read "Bored of the Rings" if you value your sanity. smilies/eek.gif ) I also do the "elven/eleven" thing. This isn't a hallucination, but there's a Ranger street in my town! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Lasgalen]

Technically this isn't a hallucination. I had a patient last night with the last name of Greenleaf. Of course I thought of Legolas first thing when I saw that name.

[Nimrothiel]

I had a similar Greenleaf incident. In American Literature, one of the poets middle names' is "Greenleaf." smilies/biggrin.gif I did another periodic table one; I read Floride as "Faramir." I need help veeeeery badly.

[Maethorien]

Yet another one:

The other day I was shopping for a hat, there was a sign that said: Rollbrim Hat- $15.00 as Rohirrim- $15.00. I really wondered as to why they were selling the Rohirrim and how come they were so cheap.

Also, the other day I read Chlorine as Olorin.

[Arwen1858]

Today my sister was telling my dad something about our playstation controllers, and she said something about the buttons 'L1' and 'R1.' I thought she said something about Éowyn and Arwen!

I really embarrassed myself at school when I read, out loud, Tolkien for token. Well, everyone knows what my obsession is!

I do the PeriodicTable misconception waay too much. Let's see...

Bromine->Boromir
Argon->Aragorn (At least it's noble...I know, lame.)
Tellurium->Teleri
Hafnium->Halfling
Samarium->Saruman
Gadolinium->Gondolin
Thallium->Thalion
Gallium->Gollum
Palladium->Paladin (Took)
Barium->Beren
Thorium->Thorin

[THE Ka]

Okay, if any of you have seen me in the chat room you know that i misspell all the time and get words confused ect...

well, here's my favorite..he he... ok i mean it.

Wine= Pippin( Sorry, but it's happened)

Bro(the slang for brother)= Boromir( Okay, he may be one of my favortie characters but, when someone said bro, what did i say? Boromir. of course.)

The Ka( MY OWN NAME!)= Theoden King. (heh... funny.)

Samatha= Sam(well, of course! can't forget the coolest hobbit!)

Fan Fair= Faramir( yes, i need to get my ears cleaned out.)

Marry= Merry (no comment.)

And thousands more. all of wich no of you would enjoy hearing. trust me on this.

Before i go, i need to tell my newest word mixup. Ok, we all know that Henry the 8th had many wives. One was called (if i'm correct.) Catherine of Aragorn. This caused me to spend 10 minutes thinking over this. Some where in my mind of useless facts and good ones i keep thinking that the word Aragorn (country, providence speaking) is spanish as spain...

I live near Toronto, and the Toronto football team is called the Argonauts. So every time I hear that, I always think it's the Argonath.

Also, last year I lived in a university dorm, and there was a poster in the hallway with the word 'legless' on it. So every day I had to walk past this poster to get to class, and every single time, without exception, I would do a double take and think, "What?!? Legolas!" Some people might learn after the first few times, but not me, I did it every single day.

Argon->Aragorn (At least it's noble...I know, lame.)
Tellurium->Teleri
Hafnium->Halfling
Samarium->Saruman
Gadolinium->Gondolin
Thallium->Thalion
Gallium->Gollum
Palladium->Paladin (Took)
Barium->Beren
Thorium->Thorin

I mix up Berylium and Beleriand :). And I mixed up Barium with Barahir, but that only happened once, whereas I actually wrote Beleriand on a science test. This really embarracing one happened a couple of months ago: the teacher asked me to read a passage of the smart-board. I have pretty bad eyesight, and I sit at the back of the class. So I came to the word "finger" and read it as Fingon, and asked what does he have anything to do with what we're learning.

Just today I mixed up divergent and Drengist. Also, I saw the name J[ames] Toklan and of course I read it as John Tolkien. My first thought was "where did the Ronald and Ruel go?":)

Elven and Eleven. I usually end up swapping the two around when using them! The other day my mother asked me what time it was and I told her it was elven o' clock, needless to say there was silence followed by an odd look afterwards. :D

And as it has already been stated, I too confuse Legos for Legolas, Greenleaf I think of Legolas and then theres the mix up with the periodic table. Chemistry was so much fun my junior year! hehe...

I also had the hardest of time reading Harry Potter and seeing the name Aragog, I immediately thought of Aragorn.

Not a hallucination, but my dog's name is Arwen ;)

the word borrow-barrow.

Wight, white.

The name Elroy gets mistaken for Elros quite often, too.

My grandfather's name is Luther, so when I see it written I see Luthien instead.

And for some odd reason when I see a milky way bar I think of Melkor...

The word lemon becomes lembas.

When I first heard of the movie, Ella Enchanted, the only thing I heard was Ella and Immediately thought of Elladan.

For the longest of time I thought Walker Texas Ranger was of the Dunedain :D

And of course, I think Dunedain when I hear talk of the New York Rangers or the Rangers division in the Army.

There is a street near where I live that's called Windhaven Blvd, and every time I pass by I think of why and how Mithlond became windy. ;)

It's bad to talk about three musketeers while thinking about The Sil. The result I got was Darthagnian (d'Artagnan+Dorthonion) and Angamis (Aramis+angrist).
Also: Pharaoh=Pharazon

This should probably go in the "you're addicted to BD if..." thread, but since this is my biggest fali of a halucination ever, I think it deserves a place in this thread.
