You put up a sign saying "Speak friend and enter" on the door of your counselling office and then sit back and watch all the high school geeks come pour in...

Exactly what I was thinking, elronds_daughter.

I have such a sign on my bedroom door... does that make me a geek? Perish the thought!

*You are assigned to to a report on Newgrange, Ireland. You discover that Newgrange is a famous paleolithic structure featured in Celtic folklore, so you look up some info on the Celts. You read until you see a sentance containing the word "barrow." You get excited and forget all about Newgrange. Need I explain further?

You hear the song "Sister Disco" by the Who, and then you spend half an hour trying to re-work the song to become "Mister Disco," a spoofed modern rendition of an ode to a dead Gondorian...

"I would choose Nasgul and cold darkened caves,
Filled full of cave trolls and moldy dwarf graves,
I would stand by you and comfort your soul,
When you are broken and shot full of holes!

"Goodbye, Mister Disco,
Frodo has left you behind!
Goodbye, now you're so low,
You're like a big porcupine."

Yeah.

OR

~When you spend hours on the internet looking for a site that will let you listen to more than a thirty-second clip of "Bring Me the Disco King", and sing the first line (all I got to hear!

Amazon.com needs better clips! The clip started from the very beginning, and it was mostly the intro) all day the next day, and ask people where they think the tune's from, because it sounded familiar to you. I swear I've heard that tune before!

When you play harvest moon and name all of your animals after characters in lotr. personally i think Galadriel is a wonderful name for a cow....

Haha Don`t know why, but I agree with you.

You form a Fellowship at school with your friends (even though you are all female). You are chosen to be Frodo because of your One Ring that you are constantly wearing.

When you move away, the sone Into the West is "dedicated" to you by your friends, because you are Frodo.

You can`t watch RotK without breaking down at the end because of the memory of having to leave you friends, but watch it any way.

You skip up and down the halls singing drinking songs, collecting weird looks.
