Tolkien Moments

[Talierin]

Ok, this here thread is to post when you have a "Tolkien Moment" in your day... those are anything from spotting a Tolkien reference in something, or something that reminds you of Tolkien, etc... get the picture?

I saw a "Not all who wander are lost" bumper sticker today, heehee

Today when I was riding the bus, I saw an advertisement for the Silmarillion translation that came out recently.

Over here this new film 'The Ring' has just arrived in cinemas, and there is lots of publicity about it. So evry time I hear someone talking or I see an ad for that film, I think 'hey LOTR... oh wait.. no...' It's confusing

My brother gave me a fake advertisement for a "playdatestation 2" game. It was Lord of the Teething Rings: the Two Towels. It had three ferocious looking babies on the front, in front of blocks with towels hanging off. One of the babies had pointy ears. I thought that it was kind of funny! Ha Ha.

The Ring is just coming out?? That come out November 14th good movie anyways.

 

[Niniel]

Well, we're sometimes a bit delayed with movies (luckily not with LOTR). But it's a great hit here as well.

My kids were watching a pre-school age cartoon (set onboard ship, I think). When I had finished mocking them, I noticed that the main character was called Bilbo.

Re the above: We often get our films later than the US (unless it's something like "Bend it like Beckham").

Moment

I took my ring off today to show someone at work (the new ring i had for my birthday)

He held it up on the tip of his finger...and he didnt vanish!

 

[Wolfshead]

Well, mine would have to be this. It wasn't today, it was last summer, whilst I was on an expedition (walking through the wilderness with 3 girls for 3 days, which was fun ) we passed a big house with a sign outside, dedicating it someone or other. Anyway, the sign, in an arch over the entrance to the path had its message written in the font, "Tolkien". I don't know if anyone else has it, I got it from a friend a while ago. At any rate, the font was identical. Which was a pleasant surprise, it was raining and the girls were complaining about the weight of their rucksacks (I was carrying about twice the weight they were, including some of their equipment so we could move faster!). Anyway, I digress.

Ummmm.... I got in an argument with someone at my study hall table on wether or not hobbit feet were disgusting or cool. I said cool. They are cool!

 

[CelebrianTiwele]

tell him/her i agree. hobbit feet are cool.

My friend has shaggy hair and he got a haircut. When he came into school his ears are POINTY. So we call him Elfy.

I ahd a Tolkien moment this morning while my son was having breakfast, he was watching a childrens cartoon of Noddy, when the policeman spoke, I turned to look as the voice of the policeman is done by Sir Ian Mc Kellan, and i thought what is Gandalf doing a noddy cartoon.

 

[Niniel]

I was watching a film with Viggo Mortensen yesterday (called 'A perfect murder') and I was thinking all the time 'What is Aragorn doing here???'

 

[Ol'gaffer]

I was watching this game show the other day when I realized that one of the contestants was called Frodo, they even asked him why is he called that and he just sayed that it sounds cool! Bizarre...

 

[Niniel]

Toady I walked by a wall and someone had written on it 'Nobody likes us,' and it made me think about Gollum. But maybe I AM over-obsessed or something, I see Tolkien-things everywhere.

 

[CelebrianTiwele]

Our dog ran away and we had to go chasing after him all over the street. I live in the country so all the stars were shining really bright and I was looking at the moon while I was walking o the road. It was so quiet, I felt like I had gotten into ME and was walking under the stars in Lothlorien. It was great.

 

[33Peregrin]

I was outside and suddenly I heard some one yelling. I looked around and saw a little Yorkshire Terrier running around. This lady was yelling "Frodo! Frodo! Come back!" I was laughing, and helped her get Frodo back. I offered to walk Frodo if the lady wanted me too. I walked him today. He at least had furry feet. My friend's dad was also there, and he told the lady that she could call him Bilbo Baggins. It was so funny.
