You know you have Tolkien fever when.... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'm a diagnosed TF. So're two or three of my friends. well, one of them's only an LF, but still...

Um...when, in conversation with one of your other tolkeinite friends, you accidentally call your science teacher "Mr. Elrond" because you just saw the movie the night before and his name is only missing the n anyway and only has a few added letters.

Said friend stares at you like you're smoking something unnatural.

Any chance you get, you say the following lines and variations on them:

"Our business is our own!"
"If you want him, come and claim him!"
"I will do it, though I do not know the way."

This last one IS a variation.

Your school is being renovated, and they're putting in new doors. So when a friend says they only need to put in one 'more door' you scream and cry "Mordor? Where? I'm afraid of MOrdor!!!"

The best English vocabulary words are ones that have to do with the sky or come from the latin words 'to rule', 'to find', 'to bring' and/or 'to bind.'

hope this qualifies. If this is baing sick, let it last forever!!
