LOTR Sightings!

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

hehe... its an Elrond Mafia...

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

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*

hehe what did he say? If I were him I would have signed anyway...

...and doing everything in their power to bring him back from the Void! I knew it! I knew it all along!

speaking of which, my algebra teacher quoted something from LOTR today... He said he knew a lot by heart. Ha! Not so good at maintaining their disguise, are they?

Last week at school they had the 'Battle of the Bands'. I didn't go (personally I would like to keep my good hearing) but was informed that the lead singer of one of the bands looked like Sam. This has got me totally weirded out now, trying to imagine Sam as a lead singer of a rock band [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] ...

[Annalaliath]

I saw a Legolas look-a-like today , but only this one had dreds. I almost fell down the stairs.

One of my best friends went to Comic-Con this summer, and met the entire cast of LotR. She gave me this FotR pin that Andy Serkis gave her, so now I have a relic! I treasure it, always.

I saw another Legolas-lookalike at school today. The only difference was that his blond hair was in dreads and they were up to his collar bones, instead of being as long as Legsie's. Let's just say, I was drooling over him, and staring so much that I nearly crashed into a row of lockers.

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

Legolas lookalikes are so great aren't they... so much fun to stalk around stores and stuff. *muahaha* someone that i passed in a stairwell at school every day looks like an elf. Not like any particular elf, just kind of tall and graceful and radiating elvishness...

[Everdawn]

2 sightings this week.

1. I was at basketball and i said to my mum, "That guy looks like Samwise Gamgee" and my mum says to me "His name is Sam. But i know it wasnt Sean Astin becuase this guy was like 15 years old.

2. Just today i was catching a bus with my little cousin and when we were getting on the bus he says "Gandalf" and pointed at the bus driver. And ive gone "woah" the guy looked like Ian McKellen it was spoooooky.

BTW AinaserkewenI love your sig!

[Annalaliath]

Well, this Legolas look-a-like had long dreads, like the fifth person I saw with them that day, but they were all bound up in a blue bandana and they were probably down to his waist. So, here I am, walking in chunky black heals, walking down stairs, wearing my old WWII trench coat, and trying to look reagle and stuff. And I almost trip and almost fall down the stairs. Kinda like the father of one of my old RP characters...

Many see elves as beutifull and full of grace. This time he wasn't. He was coming down the steps from thier home in the trees and missed a step. He fell the rest and when he reached the bottum he got up brushed himself off and kept walking. Until he was behind a tree beside her and then he started laugh. Of course he didn't know she was there, until she started to snort and laugh. He was embarrased to no end.

[Firefoot]

The other day at a Basketball game I saw a guy who looked exactly like Ian McKellan. It was scary. Even one of my friends who has never seen LotR [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] said so.

Not all Algebra teachers. I like mine. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Does seeing an Orthanc-lookalike everytime you go to school count as a sighting? Or do I need a Saruman to go with that?

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

[Finwe]

You get extra points if you get a Saruman look-alike to go with it. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

What points? If it's that darn Ruritinarian economy point again, I'm going to barf all over the deck...place...thing...

Anyway, the Saruman-lookalike is coming...wait, that's Santa up there!

*grabs a megaphone*

Hey, Father Christmas! Holiday's over!

Later days! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
->Elenrod, in need of new glasses.

[Everdawn]

Our new school year started two days ago and there is a new teacher who looks like an orc, seriously guys!

But the most shocking thing ever, at my brother's athletics last weekend i saw a woman who looked like Grima. I have had nightmares all week.

[Angry Brandybuck]

This isn't really about a person I saw but oh well.

I went on tour with an orchestra I play in to Germany for a week. One afternoon, after a night drinking a very nice beer called Erdinger, and this wierd blue stuff that dyed the inside of your mouth, and another half dozen or so beers in the morning, My friends and I were walking around some German town with a wierd name when something stopped us in our tracks.

There, right before our very eyes, set into the wall of a building, was a small (no more than four foot) door, perfectly round, painted dark green, with a big brass knob in the middle.

After much theorising about what it was for etc. we decided that the only feasible reason for it being there was that there was a family of hobbits living in the building and, to stop from getting homesick, they had turned it into a Hobbit-Hole type place.;

[Finwe]

Everdawn: *shudder* I didn't think it was possible for a woman to look like Grima! I feel so sorry for her!

Angry Brandybuck: Perhaps the reason that you saw the Hobbit hole was that you had been drinking all that beer and weird blue stuff that dyed the inside of your mouth. The latter isn't exactly something that seems safe for consumption. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Very true Finwe. In fact, I think it's the same hallucinogen hobbits use to create the illusion they call "The Shire"...

The Shire is everywhere...it is all around you...you cannot escape it...mwahahahaha!!!

[Angry Brandybuck]

You may be right about that. I did have a photo of me stood next to the door with my knees in my shoes (so that I appeared to be a Hobbit!) but I can't for the life of me find it. If I ever do I shall return and post it triumphantly saying something like "You doubted me, you said I was just some drunk who imagined things, but HERE is the proof!"

If I can't find it you may find me at the nearest instituion/AA meetings.

I have yet to find out what the blue stuff was, but I'm going back this year and I may find it again, watch this space!

Just a quick EDIT to say that something I just remembered as soon as I'd clicked on 'Post'. At Reading Festival last year, I was wondering around the campsite with a group of friends at about 1 or 2 in the morning (a common past-time at rock festivals). We had just run away from a group of naked men calling thmselves the 'pornographic spree' when we ran into a short, dumpy man with tousled brown curly hair and a beard. He told us his name was Bilbo and he was going on a quest.

Bizarrely he also ran a 'Sock Exchange', basically meaning he just collected socks and kept them tied to a piece of string around his waist. You could swap various things with him for socks, definitely one of my most surreal experiences.

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

Wow, angry brandybuck, that is one of the weirdest things i have ever heard. And being registered at barrowdowns, i have heard a lot of weird things... *grins weakly as bders advance menacingly* hehe, jk guys..

Anyway. I saw this one guy who had a gandalf beard. But the likeness stopped there...

[Angry Brandybuck]

I just regret that I didn't get a sock off him. I'm going back this year so I'll hunt him down (I'm sure Gollum'll give me a hand) and steal a sock, precious.

This isn't really related but my friend is making jewellery for his DT project and he made two rings of power; one is the ring of Ugly Girl Attraction and the other is the ring of Drink Destruction.

Putting these rings on can have disasterous consequences.

[Lathriel]

My dad had a friend from Holland who came to visit us for a few days. He brought his son who also brought a friend. The friend's name was Wiebbe but he looked exactly like Pippin. That day we went and saw LOTR:ROTK and it was kinda funny having a guy who looked like Pippin watching that movie!
Too bad they didn't stay for a few more days.
I would have loved that.

[Lhunardawen]

Does seeing an Orthanc-lookalike everytime you go to school count as a sighting? Or do I need a Saruman to go with that?

I see the exact building everyday, when I'm walking from building to building or strolling in our so-called school that's actually a prison. But when I first saw it, I was reminded of Minas Tirith, because it is white. Maybe the Saruman who lives there is Saruman the Black. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I also saw someone standing in front of a restaurant in a mall who I thought was Gimli, but he had white beard. Turns out it was a small statue of Santa. (I think that one's too late... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] )

Finally, my brother Nilpaurion can do a great Gollum impersonation. Sorry to give you away, Nil. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[Mithisilien]

OK, this may all sound a little crazy...

This is kind of a backwards sighting. My friend informed me that we go to high school with Elijah Wood's cousin. I don't know his name. (this may or may not be true, I have yet to meet him, but..) one of her other friends was walking down the street with another friend, and they thought they saw him. It turns out it was really Elijah Wood. Of course this is probably a rumor [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] . But some stuff that I KNOW is true-- One of my close friend's name is Arwen. Another friend has an uncle Aragorn, who knows a man named Gandalf. My freshman year I went to a summer choral program, and I walked around a corner and almost walked into Elrond- it was really just a boy who looked exactly like him. I mean EXACTLY. Heh.

[lothlorien]

You guys really have seen some strange things umm well I was walking to school one morning groaning about exams when I got to the main road anyway this blue car drove past me I got a good look at the driver.

And I swear he looked exactly like Bilbo I thought I was seeing things at first I went to look again but the car had already gone I was talking about it all day

Boy did my friends think I was crazy on that day cause most of them don't like lord of the rings they tell me to shut up about it all the time.

I thought I saw Frodo once I never got another look at him I was pretty unhappy about that my friends just rolled their eyes when I told them about seeing Frodo figures.

[Nirvana II]

I saw Bombadil's Chinese Restaurant

[Vuelve]

Ya'll know how a couple of posts up I got real excited about my first LOTR sighting? It just dawned on me a couple of weeks ago that that wasn't my first sighting. On your way into town there is a Greenleaf Angus Ranch and Greenleaf Missionary Church.I remember going 'o look its says Greenleaf!' but it never registered as a true sighting.Thats sad.

Resident Ent-Hugging 8-Ball hustler,

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

haha... things lurking in subconciouses. two guys in my camp have hobbit hair.

[QN_VICTORIA]

Isn't that a coinsedence, I live on a street called Yorkshire, but we natives all call it "The Shire" My neighbor Pam who looks just like a girl version of Sam, hangs out with this really weird guy obsessed with his looks named Trodo whose granfather Mandelof look's unmistakenly like Gandalf......j/k [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
But in all senerity:
I did meet an Irish Fellow who looked like a much more Handsomer(is that a word [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]....??...it is NOW!) that looked like Gollum, I mean FRODO

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

Hey people. Today, in town I saw this one guy who looks exactly like frodo (yeah, another one), but this time, frodo was posing as an elf. (!) He had longish black curly hair, but it was parted over his ears like Elrond's/Arwen's. I couldn't stop staring because they actually looked pointy! well, that, and also he was really, really cute... Maybe I should go back and stalk him, seeing as he works in this one shop. *evil laughter [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] * jk. i am not a freaky stalker. *repeats to self 10 times* [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[Lyta_Underhill]

Speaking of stalkers ( [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] ), I was in a drugstore yesterday and a guy who looked a LOT like Theoden kept staring at me (made me a little nervous!). Then I decided he was probably looking at me so much because I was staring and trying to determine whether he was Bernard Hill or not! (He had a rather prodigious beer gut though...).

Cheers!
Lyta

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I've seen PJ - twice - on Mr. Bean.

In fact you wanted the freaking sheepdog to tear out his throat!

Yeah.

[Finwe]

*manages to calm self down*


I just saw Gandalf! I swear it! My neighbor, who lives across the lake from me, apparently had some relatives over for a barbecue, and there was this old guy with long white hair and a neatly trimmed white beard, who looked exactly like Ian McKellen! Since I was practicing archery in my backyard when I saw this, I got so distracted that I accidentally shot an arrow into a tree. *sheepish grin* Needless to say, I had a heck of a time getting it out.

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

yay, first time posting with this new format thingy! hope it will work...
anyway, today one of my friends brought in his 3rd grade yearbook, and i was looking through it when i started screaming and jumping up and down. Which caused my friends to worry a little bit... But there was this one picture of a random guy whose last name was Underhill!!!! maybe not much to freak out about, but I spaz easily.

[Leyrana Silumiel]

My friend's cousin is a dead ringer for Orlando Bloom. He gets stopped for autographs all the time. I feel really bad for the young girls who approach him for autographs; the older ones he says, "Hey, I'm not Orlando Bloom!" But the younger girls...he'll sign Orlando's name on a piece of paper for them. He said he doesn't want to hurt their feelings. I think that's kind of mean.

And my friend (the one whose cousin looks like Orli) has Legolas hair. It's straight, bleach-blonde, and reaches about the bottom of his shoulder blades. His wife is always trying to pin him down to braid the sides and to put a herringbone braid in the back. He never lets her do it (I wish he would...). The funny thing is, he grew his hair out like that and dyed it well before FOTR came out in theaters!

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

Leyrana, that is so COOL i wish i knew an orli lookalike personally... BTW for any american orlando lovers out there, he's gonna be in New York for the premiere of troy! It was going to be DC but he changed it... tears tears. And make your friend braid his hair. Tell him that I would be very dissapointed if he doesn't...

[Meneltarmacil]

Well, it seems like Morgoth the Algebra Teacher has moved up to become Morgoth the Dean at my school, and this lady who was observing his class and studying to become a teacher is now in charge of the class. So I wonder... Is she Sauron? Are the security guards going to be replaced with balrogs or something now that Morgoth is in charge?

[Vuelve]

hehe... its an Elrond Mafia...

O my goodness.I had to control my laughter people would have thought I was crazy-er.


1st post since forum changes.Pretty cool.I tip my hat to the admin. [except for my lost posts, not like they were many anyway .]

Peace,
Vuelve

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

Mentelmarcil , you mean he's back? *scary mordor theme* kehehe. yep i remember him. thats really funny!

[Orominuialwen]

My little brother (High King Fingolfin) is an Frodo lookalike, except that he has brown eyes, instead of blue, and his hair isn't quite as curly. It was when he was really little, though. People have come up and tell us that he looks like Frodo more than once. I have been told that I look exactly like a hobbit. I am 5' 3", rather plump, and I have very curly reddish brown hair. It looks just like Rosie Cotton's, except for the color. My friend looks a lot like Orlando Bloom, although more like from PotC than LotR. When he puts on his sword and hat and cloak, he looks so much like OB at the end of PotC, minus the huge feather on the hat.

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

Why does everyone personally know an Orlando lookalike except for me??? noooo... i feel so sad. well, not really, you know, but whatever.
