White Tree LotR sayings can fit any where!

I was recently at a friend`s house watching FotR. We were eating those little cup-cake things that come in individually wrapped packages. I couldn`t get one open, so my friend waved her hands around it and said, " Mellon!", in a deep voice that sounded something like Gandy`s. It was lame yet funny. (Something only an LotR obsessed person would understand.) Little things like this often pop up when I`m with friends. Do you guys/girls ever do things like this? Maybe my friends and I are just weird.

And I thought that I was the only person who did the 'Mellon' thing. Tee hee, you do it too? Well, being that I am very odd, that might not be a good thing for you, however.

But I do quote LOTR, POTC, Matrix, and Star Wars all the time, and pointlessly too... snrk. How about this one? Whenever you get something new, in your best Gollum voice, you go "My prrrrrreciousssssssss. It came to me, my own, my love..." Or, when your sister does something new, and well, something that you didn't expect "The world is changed..."

And how about this? You're with your best friends going to Youth Quake, and your youth group leader gets so fed up with hearing FOTR that she makes you quote Bible verses, being as you have just quoted all of the LOTR prologue, complete with sound effects, and were going into the Shire scenes too... She did get rather annoyed once we made it to Bilbo's birthday party... and forced us to shut up, snrk...

Of course, every day. I say 'Mellon' at my work when the door closes in front of me and refuses to budge (You know those automatic doors? Foul creations so they are).

My other favourite is when I'm cooking bacon. When else do you get to utter the single best line in the entire movie trilogy?

"NICE CRISPY BACON!" (Oh Brandybuck you crack me up!)

My prrrreciuosssssss, that's one of my favourites. An other: whenever I hear about mushrooms i hear a little voice saying (in a scottish accent) Ah, mushrooms. I'm not that good at imitating it though, so most often I keep quiet.

I say "My precious" all the time! Not exactly. There are certain times I really feel like Gollum, then I'll grab something I like and say in a phony Gollum-voice, "My preciousss." I scare myself at times.

I like the "my precious". I do it all the time. I have never tried the Mellon thing though. Maybe I should, and see if anyone understands it.
I have another one. Some places where I live, the roads aren't too broad, and if a car comes we have to get off it. So when I'm walking with people along the road when a car comes, you'll hear me "Get off the road!" in a Frodoish style. Kind of funny.

The one I find myself doing alot is the Gandalf line.

"No, just Tea!"

It's always good.

I do the "mellon" thing with automatic doors all the time; when I was younger I used to say "Open Sesame!" can you tell I read stories from "The Arabian Nights?"

Yes, Gandalf's 'tea' line is another oft quoted line in my house.

As is "Not listening!" accompanied by Gollum's trademarked hands-on-ears routine! (whenever someone reminds me of something unpleasant)

I'm not so much of a mellon man...with me, I'm usually in a mock-angry-Gandalf mood when the key won't fit properly in a door or whatever, so I go "Edro, edro! Open, open!" One of my fav Moria lines too.

Olorin, you have just reminded me that it is "edro!" that I say too, not "mellon". I got confused.

Whenever I see someone run I shout at them "Noro lim, Asfaloth!"

When I put on a vest (almost every day lately): "Where's his weskit? I don't hold with Ironmongery, whether it wears well or no."

Another good one is "They are coming." Nobody has to be coming, it just sounds ominous.
Heh, I do that *sometimes* too. Okay, a lot!

Today, I dropped my socks on the ground before I went downstairs so that I could go brush my teeth. When I came back, they were gone. When I hunted them down, I found my sister wearing them. (Don't worry, there IS a point to this little story...it is coming...). She said she thought I dropped them and I said, (here it is) "Not idly do the socks of Sirithheruwen's room fall!" (Yes, I do call myself Sirithheruwen.) Okay, maybe there wasn't a point to this...

Pointlessness is good. Whenever a sibling snitches sometihng of mine, I do this: "Surrender the *fill in blank with whatever* in a phony wraith tone. Or whenever a friend comes over, in a Galadriel voice "Welcome *whoever* of the Shire *or wherever*. One who has seen the eye!"

Yeah, I am rather odd. And pointless, but my best friend copywrited that word.... erk...

I quote randomly! It's fun. Are you frightened?

Just today I said this:

"Yea, I will drink thy frappucino gladly, so that I may forget the food of school, and the unsweetened chocolate of Anar (my friend) given in prank. I will drink thee swiftly."

It's a long story. I have some odd friends.

Another one I say is:

"Don't make me get my minions of the dark Void!"

That one's not a quote, but it's funny anyway.

I use "They're here" with Frodo's creepy voice sometimes. And of course, some random quoting. For some reason some of my friends think that's annoying.
