And then there is ''Yeah right! When Balrogs fly!''

When I get mad at someone, I call them 'retarded cave troll'...

And for all the 'Edro', 'Daro' and 'Mellon' ones: Me too!
I think all LotR-freaks does that... It's in our blood...

Wow Saraphrim, that's the best quote ever!!

"Where issss it...?" is a good one...in fact, anything in a Gollum voice is.

Me and a friends used to sing the Ent's song (when they march on Isengard) as well as A! ELbereth Gilthoniel a lot...and I mean a lot.

Me either. People tend to give me strange looks when I ask anyway. But that isn't very noteworthy, I get a lot of strange looks.

"What new devilry is this?" is one of my favorites. "Hurry Hobbitses" when I want people to get moving is a good one too. What's scary is that you aren't even thinking about it and you are talking to someone and you wonder why something you said sounded familiar and realize it was from LotR.

I'm ashamed to say it, but my most used saying is from the films:

"You're 'opeless"

It seems to fit with so many situations.

Hissing "We wantss it!!" in a Gollum-esque voice always works for me. Doesn't matter WHAT we wants, it's the tone that counts. It freaks people out, which is always fun.

I also enjoy saying "Where... is... Gan...dalf?" in my hokey Celeborn/William Shadner voice, just to make my sister laugh.

Once I actually said "Mae govannen, mellon" when someone offered me a slice of melon. They gave me a strange look. *sniff sniff* No one understands me!!!

Oh yeah, and this isn't a LOTR saying, but imitating Figwit can be really fun. Just sit really still and straight, and flare your eyebrows every three seconds or so. Make note of all the weird glances you get. I dare you.

Okay, now I'm frightening myself. I need counseling.

I've given someone Gandalf's "good morning" rap from The Hobbit...
Quote:
What do you mean? Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not, or that you feel good this morning, or that it is a morning to be good on?
Needless to say, she didn't answer: "All of them at once, and a fine morning for smoking a pipe into the bargain!" She kinda didn't understand it...*sigh* we Tolkienites really must form our own country...

1420!

I had to read the villians part in some story in english, and I did the *whole* thing in Gollumn's voice. It was cool. Got some odd looks... but who cares? Oh, and does anyone have LOTR quotes hanging in their room? I do !

Tolkien

There's the ever fun: "That is no orc horn." when someone blows their nose.

"Keep up Gimli!" when your friends lag behind.

"You're late." is often appropriate (or in Elvish "Le abdoleth.")

"Flee! Flee for your lives!" is always fun, especially when there's no real reason to say it.

"What's taters precious, eh? What's taters?", or whatever food it is at the time.

"*wherever* *whoever you're with*, is it left of right?"

My prom dress had big princess sleeves, like Galadriel, so when my mommy was fixing the hem I would wave my arms around: "All shall love me and despair."

That's all I can thinkg of now. I'll be back though.

Roflmao!!!!!!! I have to remember that one! So sorry I can't think of anything right now; that idea really made my day. (I liked the "All shall love me and despair" one as well.)

I was sitting in the doorway @ school (working on a group project) and someone tried to get out. I sat up (my friend was tickling me, so I was on my back) and said "You cannot pass!" in my best Gandalf voice. Then I was called a geek, and the world was happy. Incidentally, the poor guy who was trying to exit hung from a tall ledge (think Bridge of Khazad-Dûm) and shouted "Fly, you fools!" a few months earlier.
Two examples in one post! Boy, do I feel special.
I also talk to my horse in Quenya a lot. Of course I've used "my precioussss;" it's quite versatile. I tend to use it when stealing pencils, flip-flops, foot, etc. from my best (and LotR-loving) friend. I need to go re-read the books and write down all the quotable stuff.

When cooking, especially grilling out, I ask about the accompanying dishes.

"What I wouldn't give for some nice taters!" *and especially if someone looks at me funny:*"...PO-TAY-TOES!"

Like Sam in Ithilien, talking to Gollum.

OMG i do the potatoes thing all the time!! like when someone doesn't understand something you said (it doesn't have to be lotr related though no one understands me when i get tolkienish anyway) you lean in really close to their face and explain, "po-TA-toes!" and then go back to whatever you were doing without further comment. Try it! but its REALLY hard to keep a straight face. Usually you burst out laughing in their face and spray spit all over them.

hmm... i use lotr quotes all the time. like when my family's going on a trip or something and we're all spazzing at the last moment packing and stuff, I (half way out the door) lean back in and cry, "Forth Eorlingas!" and then go down the steps humming "the road goes ever on and on.."

and one time, during a sleepover when the lights went out and i was trying to get a flashlight to work, I started banging it and saying, "Aiya earendil elenion ancalima!" most insistently, but my friend did not get it.

Also when you're cooking something its fun to shout out "FRY YOU FOOLS!!!" at random intervals.

I do a lot of stuff.... like saying LOTS AND LOTS of Gollum quotes. One thing about that is that I can do it really well (or so people say) so I always friek people out when I do that.
Another thing my cousin (firefoot) and I do a lot is sing "Hey! Ho! To the bottle I go!...." and that usually frieks people out. Nobody gets our "strange" obsession!
Another thing I do is say the "You shall not pass!" when I don't want someone to come into my room. That usually keeps my annoying siblings away.
I can't think of anything else at the moment, but I'm sure I will later!

I'm sadly more lilely to start spewing something in Elvish and have people look at me like I'm nuts when they ask what language and I say Quenya. "Where did you learn Kenyan?" "No, QUENYA! And it's only some things..."

on IM just now, I had to get up and get another cookie (hehe..) so i said "brb one sec" and then as an afterthought, added "I'm diminishing and going into the west, if u want to know" when i got back, I was trying to think of a clever quote to use, but I couldnt think of anything. Help, anyone?
How about "Wherever I have been I am back"? Gandalf tells that to Merry and Pippin when they ask him where he was.

I said "Open in the name of Mordor" when I was locked out of the house once...and I love "Forth Eorlingas!"

"Open In The Name of Mordor" is great to use when you get stuck outside of anywhere...
Has anyone used, "Aiya Elenion Ancalima!" when using a flashlight? It's great; freaks out other people in the campground when you yell it
