Sign the Barrowdowns is addicted to me: I google a string of words completely unrelated to Tolkien (doing research for a paper on Spenser) and the first hit is a 'downs thread.

Stop following me!

I have been just a bit startled by the fact that I was listening to a music album where one song was named Strider and another one Phantom. There is also a track called Cannon. Good that it isn't Canon...

1) You skip lunch because you have to take the time to play ww from somewhere.

2) You suddenly find the very basic Franch phrase "il y a" (= "there is") very amusing after eight years of studying the language...

I was watching a movie the other day called Ride with the Devil about the American Civil War. At first I though it was going to be a great movie, but it soon took a turn for the worst when the typical Hollywood political correctness started showing (hate it when that happens). Anyway, I was about to turn it off when a rebel with long hair and a feathered cap came into play and he looked EXACTLY like Volo! I couldn't stop watching it after that, thank you Volo for saving the movie!

When you have to make a conscious effort to spell "today" correctly, and not with a capital "D" in the middle of the word.

When in physics you write "Volocity" instead of "velocity"
