I wonder if it has ever happened to you that you have explained someone something about the LotR and you couldn't stop?
When I had my military service, I was driving with a commander (he was really a nice person) and we had a trip that lasted nearly two hours. One of our subjects was the FotR. Then he made a terrible mistake: HE asked me if I had read the books. Then I went explaining for at least half an hour, coming from the balrog to the very beginning of it all. When I finished, I noticed that I had talked alone for at least twenty minutes, leaving him feel rather stupid, I think.

Another one: We had a party at one of my friend's home, and later on in the evening I started to talk about the LotR with one of my friends. I think the conversation lasted about one hour, but I guess my friend was really confused after all I had told him about LotR.

Has something like that ever happened to you, we wondersss??
