When one of your good friends, (throughly American friend), starts yelling at people in a mixture of Japanese and elvish tongues. (And you understood most of it.... and it wasn't good either
)
You save up all your money to go on a LOTR fantasy shopping trip- all the posters in the store, box-set (hardbound editions) all other Tolkien books, audio version (CD) all 3 sound tracks, etc. Only $300 more dollars to go...
(donations are excepted!!)
When ask to do a book report.... well, let's just say you have multiple versions of each book ready.
Um, that's all I can think of... Oh, and one more- you're a member of the BD.
