Alas, I know too well what you speak of. I said my favourite movies are LotR and Pirates, and was immediately accused of only caring that Orlando Bloom's in them. So? They're good movies! I scared them off though...shouting random Elvish curses mixed with a little Gaelic and Japanese works rather well...

*sighs* I hate being accused of being a Leggie-bopper. Though, considering how much Silm and UT info I spew at random moments, it's a wonder the accusation is made as much as it is. For example, in my seminary class, we were discussing something about a book of scripture being written in Egyptian script but with Hebrew grammer rules; I of course brought up the issues I've had trying to explain how something can be written in Tengwar and English (or Sindarin, or...). Very effective.

Or, you can just beat them over the head with your copy of Silm. *shrugs*

Abedithon le,

I love this little support group you've all founded. It should have an official name:

No Lego?

Leggy Bopper's Anonymous?

Lord of the Rings not Leggy?

Operation Orlie Go Home?

The really unfair thing is that I have an Arwen screen saver on my laptop (Liv Tyler *unprofessorial leer*) but nobody has once accused me of being an Arwenatic, Liv Lover or Tyler Groupie.

I also have to pay less for my haircuts, even though my hair is longer than some women's. The unfairness grows.

Yes, I remember; I walked around chuckling about that for a few days.

Rather than focusing on the negative...

"Tolkien Purists, BD Branch, ## Years"

...where ## refers to the number of years since you first read the trilogy.

Then we have three natural sub-branches:
Coming Of Age, Under-Age, and Middle-Age.

I'll leave it to lindil to define, organize, and head up the 'HoME Fellowship.'

Well, you don't have to gloat about it!

Fordim, surely being called a 'Tyler Groupie' would have two meanings - are you sure you would want to be accused of swooning over the lead singer of Aerosmith?

And anyway, life's not all unfair - I never have to pay anything for a haircut as I simply don't get it cut at all.

Potentially Embarassing Admission Time: Whereas the monicker "Tyler Groupie" may be inaccurately applied to me in relation to Liv, it is not without justice applied to me in relation to Steve.

THE SMITH!!
