has anyone got a bad habit of calling places you no something out of lotr?

I have a habit of saying that I am going in the shire when I go for a shower, and my auntie has a house name very close to the name rivendell so I call her house rivendell, have you got any weird habits like this?

Same here. I only made that misake once. (ya know of saying Shire instead of shower) One when I was going to Aberdeen I said Gonder. I dunno why I said tha. It just kinda slipped out. I guess it was because I had been reading Return of the king like a few minutes before. I dunno. lol.

The LOTR effect

Off the top of my head, I can't say I have.

Ah yes the LoTR effect... very dangerous

Some time ago (I dunno y) I started to call my home Gondolin... and my cat Tevildo :P (an evil cat lord)
Now I give LoTR-names to everything... my computer... my folders... my room... my friends

I can say that sometimes when things happen, I can come up with a LOTR analogy to highlight the situation. Does that count?

ah i named my calculator ( the one i had since 14....i'm 23 now) , my precious but alas it was stolen ........sigh !!!!!!
i should have known better.

I named my "precious" a precious part of me...

I call nearly everything "precious"...

And whenever I see a tall tree, I think it's a Huorn

whenever I ride my bike through heavy traffic I hum the Helms Deep song.

Strange LOTR fans!

get over it hypernova lol.

There is an actual place called Condor, maybe thats were tolkiens inspiration for gondor came from, and I think that he got elvish (or some of it) from the welsh language cos some of them are actual welsh words, and some even mean the same thing!!!!

-I ve called my fat rat a "stupid fat hobbit" cuz he got saw dust every ware
-I call my horse "steed of Rohan"
-I ve done the Shire shower thing
-I always hum songs from the movie
-call my riding stable Rohan
-call my school Mordor, there is evil there that does not sleep, jk

I can't get over it. I am in the middle of it

I am one of the stranger fans I know

Lol

well get under it hypernova lol.

My dog is my preciouse because I love her, but I also hope to find an ent in the woods behind my house lol

me too.... the black gates of mordor are opened by trolls... aka the football team

i also call whatever food i'm eating... generally a poptart... my precious, i almost attacked someone because they tried to steal it... nasty thieveses

lol killing a poptart theif now what a headline for the papers lol

lol

I think I'll start giving my kitchen knives elvish names next time...

kitchen knives? lol what will u call them?

Hm... like Celeg Aithorn (the blade that shall cleave the world), Mormacil ("black sword", Narsil or things like that lol I havent started yet... but I love the idea

how about sting? (I knew a kitten called sting when i did work expirience in the rspca aww the little cutie
anyways back to the subject, call one sting and your best one arwen 'cos she is deffinatly the sharpest knife in the draw (laughter and applause at me wittyness please)

lol applause...


I think I'll name one Hadhafang... dunno which... name means throng-cleaver lol what shall I cut with it?

once at sunday school-at church, teach asked me where Abraham was from, and i said Rohan, *blush*

Uh, we do Daily Oral Social Studies in Social Studies class (Duh!). I called Holland Hollin...

i was at this colonial fall festival in my town (yes we're weirdos) and there was this guy that had a hat on that looked like it had a horsetail sticking out of it and i screamed 'rider of rohan' then hid behind a table because he heard me

lol!!!

RoFL

I just have to work on the beginning of writing systems for school and when I was asked what the first written alphabet was I wanted to say "Sarati" (an older form of Feanors Tengwar)

once i called my friends brother luthien, (his name's lutian)

I have about 9 pictures of pictures of my cats in my locker ( 3 pictures for each of them) and i called them ringwraith #1, #2, #3, ect. my friends thought i was on something.

Well, saying something about LotR is part of daily life for the Drunk_Nazgul and me. We always point out that something resembles something of Tolkien's (or Peter Jackson's) work... like Hobbit feet.

Me to, if my friends say something and Ill say "like on lotr or oh like Rohan" or something like that. hee heee how fun... jk

same with me... or if i ate too much, i'll turn to a friend and say 'remember in fotr extended when pippin eats four lembas? that's how i feel right about now'

lol pipin is so cute
