Say What?

[Orofarne]

Sorry, no one knows me, but this is my ever-lasting shame. I saw the Fellowship movie before I read the book. But, if one hears people say things, one is liable to mishear them, and therefore think that Legolas's name is actually Legless, and that his mother named him that when he was born, and that he has in the intervening years grown new appendages. [wow, I think that was the longest sentence I have ever written] Please someone say that that's a common mistake and that I'm not completely doolally. I also believed fervently in Mr. Rick Cottontree, by the way.

Look my friends, here's a pretty hobbit-skin to wrap an Elven princeling in!

'Legless', 'Merry', that book is just an ode to getting drunk.

No matter how many times I see/hear FOTR, and I've heard the line perhaps close to fifty times. When Gandalf 'finds' Sam outside Frodo's window and questions him about dropping eaves.. It always sounds to me that Gandalf is saying 'trimming the verbs?'.

I still hear Gimli offering the services of his ox. Every time. Just hitch 'em up and plow your way to Mordor.

Reaching back to the olden days of Ralph Bakshi's version... I went with a group of fan friends to see it when it opened in town, and all of us heard the same thing when Gandalf was trying to open the gates of Moria:

"Egg roll! EGG roll!!!"

Needless to say, we went out for Chinese food after the movie.

And maybe if they'd brought Gimli's ox instead of Bill, they wouldn't have had any problem plowing down the doors.

Sounds like you all need some "Elvis medicine".

[Morsul the Dark]

Not so much a mispronunciation... but why does Aragorn's accent suddenly change at the Council of Elrond? "The ring has no otha' Mastuh'
