I was reading the book "Eragon" about the dragon.

Friend: oh yeah isn't that the rip off of LotR?

I got one, although this is about me. I used to think that Aragorn was a two handed sword man....Weird. I also thought that Merry and Pippin were put into slavery. Buy that was a very very long time ago.

Are Frodo and Sam gay?

I hear that all the time.

Okay, I decided to have a LotR movie week. My mom and dad kept up fairly well in the first one. In TT my mom fell asleep and woke up to the Ent talking to Merry And Pippin.
Mom: Why are the trees talking and walking around?
Me: They are Ents?
Mom: Ends? what do they end?
Dad asked me once as he pointed to Aragorn, Is that that Leg-less feller?
We were at my Granmother's house and we were watching them there.
My aunt asked me: what's with the ring and why did they not help that wizard guy up? and who is the flaming guy?
My cousin replied with
I think that is the devil:cry:

I will probably get plenty more.

newsgirl, if an Ent falls in the woods and there only trees around, does it make a sound?

There, now you have.
"The King beneath the mountains, The King of carven stone, The lord of silver fountains Shall come into his own! His crown shall be upholden, His harp shall be restrung, His halls shall echo golden To songs of yore re-sung. The woods shall wave on mountains And grass beneath the sun; His wealth shall flow in fountains And the rivers golden run. The streams shall run in gladness, The lakes shall shine and burn, All sorrow fail and sadness At the Mountain-king's return!"

I got a terrible name slaughter today from my friend. I can't believe this, but she tought Legolas was "many" people. From her point of view, she tought Legolas was spelled "Les golaces". In french, "Les" means "the" so she tought there were a group of "golaces" in LotR... :nono: :banghead: :cry:

In English the other day Someone asked our teacher "Aren't the Lord of the Rings books based on the movies?" Five minutes later the kid behind me asked if they could see the book I was reading (FotR).
them: Is this based on the movie? (Someone was paying close attention in class.)
Me: *Slaps them* No the movie is based on it.
Them: Then how come the book and the movie have the same characters in them?
Me: :angry:

I lent FotR and TTT to my friend(she got fed up with my ravings so she decided to watch it ) last week & she sort of likes it. But looks like she didn't follow the story too well. So I was just testing her knowledge yesterday before giving her RotK:
Me: OK..... you know who's Merry, right?
Friend: Umm, who's she?
Me: :twitch:
Me: Hmmmm...... who's the er, the blond guy in the fellowship(have to use simple language with her)?
Friend: umm, Leglalas?
Me: It's Legolas.... repeat after me: LEGOLAS.
Friend: Legalas. Right. Got it.
Me: .......... Who's Gollum?
Friend: Er... the guy with the mask?
Me: Huh????
Friend: You know, that character with tennis-ball eyes who's obsessed with fish.
Me: *annoyed* All right...... what's the wizard's name?
Friend: Ganda!
Me:*feeling suicidal* It's Gandalf. GANDALF. GandALF.
Friend: Sure. Ganda.
Me:*about to jump out of window* Yeesh...LAST QUESTION: How old do you think Frodo is (I'd told her the answer a few days back so I wanted to know if she was paying attention)?
Friend: 15!
Me: Eh? *as calmly as possible* No, he's 50. Or in the movies, more likely 33. *mutters*I think they got rid of a couple of years in a gap of 17 years......
Friend: No, he's 15.
Me: 33. That's final.
Friend:*calls over another friend to whom I lent FotR* ( to friend 2) Hey, you know Frodo? He's like, 15 right?
Friend 2: Yeah, he is... can't be older than that.
Me: :banghead: He's under the influence of the bloody Ring, dammit! It keeps you looking young!! And who d'you think you're arguing with, huh? I'm the one who lent you guys the movies; I'm the one obsessed with Hobbits; I'm the one who's nuts about Frodo!!! It's me, me, me!!!!*Hops away and sits in place seething*
Friend 2: (to Friend)OooK... she's finally lost it....
Friend: That looked sorta familiar....deja vu.....

I hate to admit this but I'm the one who started the stupid questions.

Me: Whats that hobbit's name? *points to Merry*
Friend: Merry Brandybuck.
Me: He has a girl's name? *Thinks it's Mary, not Merry* :rolleyes:
Friend: No, you spell it Merry, like in Merry Christmas.
Me: Got it. :banghead:

In 8th grade I had a friend that thought Gwaihir was a butterfly. Sad. I sure set HER out straight.

I have a friend who can't remember anything, but she likes LOTR. She calls Aragorn "Aragon," (ugh) and is constantly bugging me with really stupid questions that I can't even remember right now. It's terrible.

When I first watched the movies my friend wrote down all the stupid questions I asked. I can't believe how clueless I was on some of them. :blush:

-which one is merry and which one is pippin?
-where does frodo have to go to destroy the ring?
-is smeagol a hobbit?
-is smeagol the first person ever to have the ring?
-is arwen an elf? (by the end of the 3rd movie)
-what's so great about "isildur's heir"?
-Wait he said he was 'Saruman as he should be' I'm really sure thats Gandalf not Saruman.
-Look it's the eye of Saruman!

All right, I got another one today.... from none other than Friend and Friend 2!!
(I still haven't lent Friend RotK so I was summing up the story for her.*sigh* She kept missing it on TV despite the fact it was showing 10 times last month )

Me:... So basically, Aragorn's fighting the bad guys to save Middle-earth.
Friend:But wasn't Laragon the one who died in the first movie?
Me: No, that was Boromir. And it's Aragorn.
Friend: So what happens to Frodo and Sam?
Me: Gollum.... you remember Gollum right?
Friend: Oh, the one with huge balls?
Me:*starts laughing hysterically*
Friend: Ooops, I meant eyeballs.
Me:* calming down after 5 minutes*Ok, Gollum wants the Ring back, so he decides to take the hobbits to a giant spider. He tricks them into believing he's found a shortcut into Mordor. Then, though it isn't in the books, he makes Frodo turn against Sam-
Friend 2:*wanders by* By telling Frodo that Sam wants the Ring. Finally when Sam offers to carry the Ring, he-that is to say, Frodo- finally cracks and tells Sam to go home. Then Gollum takes Frodo up to Cirith Ungol-where the spider lives- and Frodo realizes that he was wrong in trusting Smeagol-that is Gollum- and sending away Sam. Then Shelob-that's the spider- stings him. It looks like she's got him in the back but actually she stings him in the neck when he turns around. A very angry Sam comes and injures Shelob who crawls away to tend to her wounds. Then a couple of orcs arrive, take Frodo-who seems to be dead but is not- to the Tower of Cirith Ungol and take off everything except his pants. Then Sam comes and rescues Frodo-who, might I add, looks quite hot without clothes- and gives him back the Ring, a bit reluctantly. Then they wear orc armour and continue their way to Mt. Doom. Finally Frodo doesn't want to destroy it, cuz it's taken over him completely. Then along comes Gollum, he bites off Frodo's finger, they fight, Gollum falls, Ring destroyed. Then the hobbits rest on a rock, while the mountain erupts. Gandalf arrives on Giant Eagles that recue the hobbits and take them back to safety.
Me: *awestruck*
Friend: wow.... and what happens to Legolas?
Friend 2: Oh, she gets married to Aragorn, right?
Me: O_O huh?
Friend: Erm....
Me: *to Friend 2*Um, dude, that's Arwen, remember?
Friend 2: Oh yeah, I forgot. Anyways, Aragorn becomes the King-
Friend: Of the Eye-tower thingy?
Friend 2: No, Gondor. You haven't seen it yet. It's in RotK.
Friend: And what happens to Frodo?
Friend 2: He has sail away because he's hurt physically and mentally... so to live, he has to go away to an island across the Sea to get healed, sort of like heaven*to me* right?
Me: *still dazed* ... well, more or less, sort of like that.... but he's still mortal.
Friend: He can die twice?
Me: Umm, goodbye. *to Friend 2* You take over..... I need to let my poor mind process what just happened.....

Me: Um, no it's another language...It's elvish--From Lord of the Rings.

Yes, Arabic. I often write elvish on my hands and stuff (I call them my own temporary tattoos) and I've always joked about someone asking me if it was Arabic, but this is the first time it's actually happened. :rolleyes:

My dad won't stop calling Aragorn Aragon
I corrected him about 1000 times! :banghead:
I'm doing this course in English, and it's all about LotR! (I'm homeschooled). Well, when my Dad corrects it, he asks me sooo many questions! It's cool.
One time we were having family devotions, and my Mom read a part in the Bible that said that we are stewards of God. This was before my dad saw LotR. He had overheard me and my brother talking about "Denethor the Steward", so he said "just like the Steward in Lord of the Rings." I said "No, that steward was cracked." He said "Then it's just stupid." Me: :angry:

I could've sworn I wrote something like that in Bible class last year.
