Almost all of you out-dork me. I'd have my library-computer room at home all decked out in Middle Earth map and various calendar folios if my better half let me....
My greatest dork moment was when, as a teacher at a high school, for a talent show, I read "Riddles in the Dark" ... in the dark .... (except for a flash light to read by) to the entire school body, doing Gollum's voice. 'Yessss, my precioussss, that was very very nice, it wassss.' The kids loved it too. At least the ones who were as dorky as me.
The EE are the only DVDs I own.
I did a verbal book report on LotR once; laid the books down dramatically one by one to the groans of the entire class - they were sure I was going to go on and on like I had done over a mere 150 page book the month before - but I took a mere three minutes ... or less. "You remember The Hobbit that 'so and so' reported on? How Bilbo found a ring? Well, in these books that Ring is discovered to the property of the Dark Lord, and he wants it back. The story is about how they try to keep the Dark Lord from getting his Ring back." End of report. I got an "A". A dork victory!
I play werewolf and talk about it excitedly with my work buddies who are all younger than I am. They get big smiles. I'm sure they enjoy my stories about it, honest. They're not really thinking "what a dork", uh uh. No way!
