You know you're obsessed with LOTR when ... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Here's evidence of someone so obsessed that they named their pub in honour of Tolkien.

It amused me to see such signs as "Middle Earth Angling Club" and "Middle Earth Menu" hanging in the doorway - no mushroom dishes were on offer though.

Yeah, my mom says I'm going to get ink poisoning.

Right now we are renting a house while we build our other one. The people we are renting from want to sell it and we might have to live with my grandparents for a few months. Today I was sitting on the couch when someone knocked on the door. I peeked through the window and saw the person who wants to buy it. So, what did I do? I quietly whispered, "It's the Sackville Bagginses! They're after the house! They've never forgiven me for living here this long!"

Here's some more ways to tell if you're obsessed with LOTR:

1. You show up to work before everyone else, grab a broom handle and run through the halls yelling, "Elendil! Elendil!"

2. You see a horse at a farm and yell, "His name is Brego! He was my cousin's horse!"

3. You think Haldir is hot! (And for a guy, that's a bad thing!)

4. Your brother has bought every sword from LOTR. (His favorite is Glamdring)

5. Your dog's name is Nazgul.

6. People ask where you're going on vacation this year and you tell them, "The Forests of Ithilian."

7. Your girlfriend said you watch LOTR all of the time and don't spend enough time with her. "It's either me or those movies," she said. I don't miss her that much.

8. You have dreams of buying a complete Aragorn outfit and running off to the wild to live as a Ranger.

9. You wish Peter Jackson would hurry up and make The Hobbit!!!!!!

You enter a contest to imitate a rather famous American polititian (on the radio, no less!), and just happen to win the contest because of the LotR references you put into the imitation. Seriously, the host of the show said she picked me as the winner solely because of the "nerd reference" I put in. (She said she meant "nerd" with love, though.

) I did get a nice prize -- tickets to a Milwaukee Brewers' Game (with very good seats, too!)

I'm purposely not saying who the polititian I imitated is or what party they're associated with in order to avoid a possible large and very OT political argument on this thread. If you want to know who I imitated and the manner in which the LotR reference was inserted, you're welcome to PM me.

You are reminded of and voice the exact same LotR line at the exact same time as your boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife.

You pass a Hollywood Video store, and some of the neon letters of "Video" are out, leaving "eo". You read the sign in your head as "Hollywood Horse".

Guilty.
