Most commonly quoted Quote - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I am often guilty of saying "Pass the po-tay-toes" at dinner. And at Disneyworld, when we entered a ride we'd yell "Into the miiiiiines!"

Other than that, I don't really quote any one line (from either the books or the movies) all that often -- it's usually just whatever comes immediately to mind.

EDIT: Wait, just thought of one. I sing "Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow, etc., etc." simply because it irritates a friend of mine. She loves LotR but finds Mr. Bombadil very annoying.

"You're late" is a very common phrase amongst my group of Tolkien (or PJ-) philes.

I've also used "A wizard is never late, etc." a few times in reply.

I'm afraid the phrase I've used most is not from the book, but the movie:

Quote:

If you want it (/them/whatever), come and claim it!

Very versatile, especially useful when telling someone far away of something I have - freshly baked cookies, for example...

The word preciousss is a wonderful addition to any statement.

I used to often quote "What is this new devilry?" too. It is indeed adaptable to thousands, nay, millions of situations.

For me it's got to be "second breakfast" because I have it at least five times a week. And "preciousss" is quite commonly used, mainly to the cat. I say "taters" all the time because that's what I call 'em anyway. I often look for opportunites to say "it's got crumbs on it's jacketses" too.

What really scares other people is when you shout "Nazgul!" really loudly, and run through the streets in a crazed manner.

Very funny.
