Do you find yourself qouting LOTR when....... - Page 2 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Elrowen Greenleaf · 03-23-2003, 09:59 AM

I've found myself quoting it alot....When my little sister is refusing to go outside.... "Are you frightened?"Also... whenever somebody does something stupid, I find myself saying to them... "You confounded fool of a Took!"I also will find myself quoting random bits of Elvish from time to time.When I'm riding my fav horse at the stable, prepering to canter or heading for a jump... I find myself saying "Noro lim Asfaloth, noro lim!" (Substituting Asfaloth for Fiddlesticks).When somebody will ask me where I a going... I'll often reply "To Rivendell Master Gamgee. To the house of Elrond."I also use "If you want him, come and claim him!" quite often.There's alot more, but it would take me too long to type it all...

Gotta love the pepper spray!Another similiar one: Carry a dagger at your side and scream "Back you Devils!" at your teacher as she/he collects tests/hw.(Warning, this could get you an easy ticket to a juvenile correctional facility.)[ March 24, 2003: Message edited by: Iarwain ]

aragornreborn · 03-26-2003, 01:06 PM

I often use Pippin's "Where are we going?"I also love "tricksy hobbitses" and "We hates it forever!"I also love doing ones spur of the moment in response to people, but I can't remember any specific ones I've done.I just realized "We hates it forever" isn't from the movie, but oh well.[ March 26, 2003: Message edited by: aragornreborn ]

Beruthiel · 03-27-2003, 12:51 AM

Ooh I have a good story to go with LOTR quotes. Last week I was on year 9 camp and we were walking down the path in the bush but then we came to this forest and I swear it looked EXACTLY like that bit in FOTR when the hobbits hide under the tree. So anyways we all had to carry our EXTREMELY heavy packs. We all looked like little hobbits! It was so cute. Then my friend shouted out 'Get off the road NOW!' and at that moment I looked back and these leaves were blowing on the track. It was so freaky it was exactly like the movie!! The black riders were the other camp group who were trying to catch up with us.That went a bit off topic but it was so cool, a had to be there moment I guess

03-27-2003, 02:48 AM

My mum's dog gets into a lot of mischief. Whenever I'm certain that he's about to do something he's not supposed to do, I always say "I see your mind" much like Boromir says it in FotR.Sometimes I add on "You will take the Ring to Sauron! You will betray us!", but only when I'm certain there's no one else around to hear me. [ March 27, 2003: Message edited by: Braeden Fireheart ]

...."our list of allies grows thin"...I like that one.. How true! I have a friend and her last name is Büggen so usually, my other best friend yells at her "Thiefing Büggenses" i know its nothing like it, but I think its cute.

aragornreborn · 03-28-2003, 10:36 PM

Braeden Fireheart, I say the exact same things! I also add "you go to your death... and the death of us all!"

Elvish Hermit · 04-05-2003, 06:51 PM

Whenever I stub my toe or get a bruise: "I think I brokeded something." At random moments when the wind speeds up: "The world has changed..."a friend asks to copy off my homework: "This task was appointed to you, and you alone." "Nor are they accounted amoung the wisest."someone asks me why I hardly socialize: "It's no bad thing to celebrate a simple life."annoying people ask me to move: "You shall not pass!"someone finds gossip on someone else that we hate: "It is a gift. A gift to the foes of {insert name}."Someone messes up:. "Fool of a {last name}!" At Lunch:. "Lembas. Elvish Waybread. One small bite can fill a grown man's stomache." On the war: "the eye is fixed on New York." "Our list of allies grows thin."Ummm, that it. At least of what I can remember.

Tigerlily Gamgee · 04-06-2003, 12:13 AM

Quoting?Why, yes m'boy One of my favorite random times was when a friend and I were at an ice cream parlor (with reeeaally good ice cream) and I, unknowingly, pointed to a sign and said, "Look, you can get a pint," to which my friend quickly replied, "It comes in pints," and I finished, "I'm getting one."Of course, I really didn't get one, because that's a lot of ice cream!

Nuranar · 04-25-2003, 06:29 PM

My bedroom is right in the front of the house. It's got double French doors opening on the front hall, and a regular door opening on the back hall. Result? All three brothers use my room as a hallway extension, and the carpet is terribly worn. So they're supposed to stay out, but do they? No! So I get tired of it and I'll nag and pester. My parents don't appreciate that, either. But when I was home last weekend, my middle brother just kept following me around chattering. I wanted to go to bed, so I walked into my room and, as he was preparing to follow me, I shouted (in a quiet voice) "You shall not pass!" - and then locked the doors. My dad told me later he really appreciated that way of keeping him out. I'm about 5'10", which although not super tall, is taller than most of my female friends. So several times I've found myself saying when they can't see something, "Shall I describe it to you?" Once my friend started laughing so hard that I laughed too, and I could scarcely finish the quote - "Or would you like me to find you a box?"Of course, there was the time I greeted another Tolkienite in Elvish - "Mae govannen." I was expecting the blank looks from the other friends standing around, but you should have seen the look she gave me!

The Only Real Estel · 04-28-2003, 04:34 PM

Once I was useing the automatic-checkout machine in one of the stored I go to when I made an interesting statement. The machine wouldn't scan properly, and the lines were to long in the 'real' checkout stations, so I said, "Curse you, and all the halflings!" A few bystanders turned around and gave me a strange look, so I decided to watch my mouth more closely! Unfortunalely, not close enough. A few days later I was at the same store, walking down a crowed aisle, when I scrathed my shoulder on the metal corner of a display stand. Once again I HAD to burst out with a quote and said,"Aagh! Still sharp!" a little louder than I meant to. A bunch of people turned around (including one of the people that heard my curse you quote a few days earlier) and gave me interesting looks. I bet I'm considered some sort of a freak that goes around testing the sharpness of display-stand corners now!

Kiah · 07-19-2003, 09:49 PM

I quote LOTR when I am in buses full of giggling girls talking about their boyfriends to stay sane. I also qoute "There are few who can." every once in a while.

Everdawn · 07-20-2003, 02:29 AM

We were having a picnic, (my group) and i sent one of the boys over to light the Barbie, but when i went over with the food, he said"I can get it to go!" so i set down the basket and grabed his shoulders and looked him in the eye and said; " This task was appointed to you. If you do not find a way, no one will.".. ah it was funny at the time...

Well, I've got my non-obsessed friends at least remembering 'Mae govannen', as that's my most common greeting... I don't tend to quote that many lines, but talking in Elvish half the time seems to make up for that in the odd-look department.

Arwen Eruantale · 07-21-2003, 02:03 PM

Welcome to the Downs, Ascalótëion! I'm sure you'll like it here..I've made quite an interesting reputation for myself, I quote both book and movie all the time. I annoy my should-have-been-twin little brother by saying all sorts of things that he's forgotten. I can't remember any now, but I've done 'em all at least once.Unfortunately for me, I am 5' 0" and well on my way to shrinking. So I am often on Gimli's end of the "discribing" quote.

Enorëiel · 07-21-2003, 05:11 PM

He he, I find myself quoting the movie a lot! Most often it's in my head but when I do quote outloud most people look at me weird, confused, or don't even notice it's a quote! Grrrrr, There are too few LotR fans living around me... Dang it! However, there is a quote that I use often whenever potatoes are being made. 'taters, what's taters, precious?' 'Po-Ta-Toes. Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.' Everyone looks at me crazy like and I just smile, then when they don't get it, I roll my eyes and walk away. Stupid non understanding people.

Nehani · 07-21-2003, 11:08 PM

I love "tricksy" and "we hates thems forever". There is this group of boys in my class, and they are really stupid. They come our (my groups') table and start racking on us. So what do we do but stare at eachother and say Amin n'rangwa edanea. They give us this look and walk away. Good stuff. In my group, I stand in the middle heighth wise. I am considered and Man, the taller ones Elves, and the shotter ones hobbits/drawves. So we each shout out things from our given races. This dreives everyone crazy! Especially one of the hobbits who has the mental image that she's tall!

Elennar Starfire · 07-24-2003, 02:19 PM

At my family reunion I was eating potatoes, and my cousin (who looks like Gollum!) said "What's that?" and I responded with "Po-tay-toes..." I should have said "This, my friend, is a pint." Oh well.A door in my house got stuck, so I yelled "Edro hi ammen!" at it, and it opened! (this happened four times! I'm serious! )

Arwen Eruantale · 07-25-2003, 05:17 PM

Yup, the new one is "Po-tay-toes...". I've everyone I know saying it now...

07-26-2003, 03:57 PM

Well, I know this isn't a qoute, but when I see a spider I yell, " Die!! Followers of Shelob!!". (My battle cry). Toodles.-Alaruid

Enorëiel · 07-26-2003, 05:08 PM

Hey Alaruid Thanks for the idea, I believe I've found a new battle cry for killing spiders. Much thanks!!!!

I annoy my should-have-been-twin little brother by saying all sorts of things that he's forgotten. I can't remember any now, but I've done 'em all at least once.<P>Unfortunately for me, I am 5' 0" and well on my way to shrinking. So I am often on Gimli's end of the "discribing" quote. __________________ And he became somewhat grim to look upon, unless he chanced to smile... Will you pay attention?

Most often it's in my head but when I do quote outloud most people look at me weird, confused, or don't even notice it's a quote! Grrrrr, There are too few LotR fans living around me... Dang it! <P>However, there is a quote that I use often whenever potatoes are being made. 'taters, what's taters, precious?' 'Po-Ta-Toes. Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.' Everyone looks at me crazy like and I just smile, then when they don't get it, I roll my eyes and walk away. Stupid non understanding people. __________________ You can take a hobbit out of the Shire but you can't take the Shire out of a hobbit.

There is this group of boys in my class, and they are really stupid. They come our (my groups') table and start racking on us. So what do we do but stare at eachother and say <I>Amin n'rangwa edanea</I>. They give us this look and walk away. Good stuff. In my group, I stand in the middle heighth wise. I am considered and Man, the taller ones Elves, and the shotter ones hobbits/drawves. So we each shout out things from our given races. This dreives everyone crazy! Especially one of the hobbits who has the mental image that she's tall! __________________ "Been A Long Road To Follow, Been There And Gone Tomorrow Without Saying Goodbye To Yesterday..."

I should have said "This, my friend, is a pint." Oh well.<P>A door in my house got stuck, so I yelled "Edro hi ammen!" at it, and it opened!<BR>(this happened four times! I'm serious! ) __________________ Don't let me die!

Much thanks!!!! __________________ You can take a hobbit out of the Shire but you can't take the Shire out of a hobbit. Whoever said "Nothing is impossible" never tried to slam a revolving door.
