I forget where this one is, but it had names like "Gandalf Road" "Thorin Road", some Silmarillion ones I'm sure too...character places I think. BNut the more toiwns like this, the better!
Who knows , maybe insteading of Middle-earth being based on the world, the world will become M-E?

i wanna move to one of those streets... everyone around here is all fusty and conservative and probably don't know that the LOTR movies are based on a specific written story.
hey... 8 more posts until 200! spamming isn't allowed, is it..

My friend's science teacher looks like Elijah Wood, with those huge, staring, murderous psycopath eyes. Rather scary, I saw a piccy of him in her yearbook with all the other teachers and nearly shrieked.
I'm supposed to look like Arwen, but I doubt it. More like Harriet the Spy actually. Q_S Quote:

Nothing very exciting, just saw a normal license plate with three numbers and then "AMN;" my parents did not understand my slight enthusiasm.

you should have seen it the first time I saw him. I was like," dude, Camile look at that guy he looks like Orlando Bloom." She just laughed. then in the BDs chat I was talking about him and I was determined to talk to him or at least make fun of him. Well, it turned into an all nighter at Denny's and getting no sleep at my freind Sarah's Dorm. We never intended on this relationship, so far it has been rocky. anyway you can see a pic of him at my Deviant art site here But mind you these are kind of old and he looks more like in real life.... His bro thinks it too now....

I feel kinda stupid for not noticing this sooner. My sister has this video game called "Kingdom Hearts" (Strange game, but somehow addictive. It combines Final Fantasy characters with, believe it or not, disney characters) and in one level the bad guys are called "Wight Knights." She's had the game since last December, and I've just now made the connection. Anyway, the Wight Knights are these weird mummy-looking things with metal ribs. Disney characters and undead metal mummies... the two don't seem to go together, but it all works out.
And another-- My sister rented the "Shrek 2" video game from blockbuster, and it is a total ripoff of about eighty other games and movies! In one part, the characters try to get to the land of Far Far Away, so the big bad wolf suggests that they take a shortcut through an underground mine that looks suspiciously like Moria. There are even dwarves inside! They're supposed to be Snow White's Seven Dwarves, but we all know they're ripoffs of Balin and company!! They can't fool me! And what makes me angrier is that frog people live in the mine. For one thing, frogs probably wouldn't live in a mine, but what really ticked me off is that the frog people are direct ripoffs from the Baldur's Gate Dark Allaince II game! But that's not LOTR related, so I'll shut up now. ~Maeggaladiel "But remember- The closer you are to the light, the larger your shadow becomes." --Kingdom Hearts.

Woot! Woot! ALERT! ALERT!
New LOTR merchandise at Hot Topic!! For ladies, they have a variety of Legolas shirts, an Aragorn shirt, and a Merry and Pippin shirt. Guys have a variety of t-shirts, too. My favorite is one that says "I went to Middle Earth and all I got was this crummy ring!" Random merchandise that only we hard core fans would care about: Pens, air fresheners, bumper stickers, note cards, tin lunch boxes, action figures, and a throw rug. Most of which feature Legolas. I assume every Hot Topic store across America will be teeming with fans. Oh, adn this isn't LOTR, but Hot Topic's got new Pirates of the Carribbean stuff, too. Johnny... Orlando... *drool* Wha-? You're still here? *blush* ~Maeg

I finally had a REAL LOTR sighting!!!YAAAAAAAAY!!!!
We were coming home from basketball camp today when I saw this big, silver, box like thingie beside a railroad track that said Oliphant ST. I just kind of stared as the bus went by trying to make it register in my head.Then I shouted above our bus radio "It says Oliphant!! I got to tell them about this!!".( "them"meaning you people on the Downs.)I don't know what ST stands for though, I'm pretty sure it didn't stand for street. I'm so happy, Vuelve

Yay Vuelve, I'm so happy for you, lol... love your avatar btw. Oh yeah I finally saw Shrek 2 i LUUURVED it and i was like the only one in the theater laughing my head off at the LOTR reference.
My most recent lotr sighting was a girl playing violin on a sidewalk downtown. I didn't pay attention until I heard the familiar strains of the Rohan theme wafting through the air.... And then I went crazy. I would have gone over to ask if she was a barrowdowner but i was in a restaurant at the time with the family for fathers day so i was absolutely not permitted to leave, ack. Anyway, if that was you, pm me!

yay okay in this film camp I'm going to, they went on about how LOTR is one of the great movies and all and asked us, "So, who's seen ROTK?" which sent me into hysterics. Also they had a poster of it on the wall so i couldnt stop staring. I must persuade the counselors to let us analyze the movie... frame by frame.. hehehe.
