1. Your sister does her hair like Legolas, on purpose.
2. You almost tell the clerk at Panera Bread that your name is Morgoth, but decide not to.
3. You decide that your father and teenage brother must be Orcs.

And so on....
 
This thread looks like so much fun! :D I can't wait to see what people come up with. I can't think of anything at the moment, but I'll post once some ideas have come to mind.
 
4. You go into hysterics when someone refers to Mordor as "morder" and you declaim that they are violating the awesomeness of Mordor.
5. You refer to socks as 'sockses'.
6. When your friends are cunning in an amusing way, you refer to them as "sneaky hobbitses." (The form of this term has been found to be both plural and singular.)
 
7. When you see a twilight poster in a store you run around in the isles saying (in a very convincing Smeagol/Gollum voice) "Its burnsss! It freezesss! We must run from it Preciouss!" (I did that yesterday in Wal-mart and earned some very weird looks by the way. xD)
8. When reading books you apply quotes like, "So do all that wish to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All that is left for you to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you." and "Sometimes you didn't want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened?" and others to the situation happening in said book
9. Whenever the word "potatoes" comes up you automatically mutter "Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew."
 
11. When you name your cats Frodo and Sam.
12. When your mom doesn't even like LOTR but goes around quoting it because you've forced her to watch it.

(I've done both of those things... xD)
 
Mewsie...the thing in the grocery store, in particular, is disturbing--but very funny. :D

13. When your roommates nickname you "Frodo"--and you like it.
14. When you start referring to yourself as a hobbit because of your height (or the lack thereof.)
15. When you catch yourself finishing thoughts with "my Preciousss."
 
16. When you hear 'elf', and one of Santa's elves is the last thing you envision in your mind. :p

17. When your idea of a fun weekend is holing up at home and having a LotR Extended Edition marathon

18. When an appreciation of LotR is high on your list of criteria for a future husband.
 
19. When the sermon is entitled, "Not All Shall Pass" and you instantly see Gandalf yelling, "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"
 
In the same vein as Zella's...
20. When you see a 'No Passing' sign on the highway, you disturb your family greatly by abruptly hollering, "You shall not pass!" and then giggling as though much amused by your random deed.

20. When people regard you as very intelligent... just for managing to get through the LotR trilogy. :rolleyes:

So is this. x) Especially since I've been there...
 
22. When you can quote not only the movies, but the books as well.
23. When anyone, in your hearing, refers to the Lord of the Rings books as a trilogy, you immediately launch into a detailed monologue explaining that while it was published in three volumes, each with its own title, The Lord of the Rings is one book and is not a trilogy. The movies, you concede, are a trilogy, but, you emphatically state, the books are not.

I do that.:p
 
24. When someone says that they like something alot you start muttering, "Its the Preciousss..."
25. When taking notes during your church's sermon you can tie in elements to LOTR.
26. You totally understand everything about LOTR dodgeball. (aka. Funnest dodgeball spin-off ever created :D)
 
27. When your good opinion of your history teacher is finalized when you see that she has King Theoden as her desktop background.

28. When your good opinion of your history teacher is doubly finalized by her bringing up LOTR in class.

29. When whether he/she brings up LOTR in class becomes your way of judging how good your teacher is....
 
30. When you hear that a person you thought little of likes LotR, and have to re-evaluate your feelings about them.
 
31. When your sister begins calling your dog Billy "Bilbo." At first you think she's doing an injustice to the books and fiercely object, but after seeing the movies, you begin to like it.

My history/English teacher last year actually had a map of Middle Earth in her room and frequently brought it up in class. We used it as EXAMPLES of things in history and for English. That was the best teacher I've ever had.:D (she was also the first person who ever explained to me the Christian symbolism in LOTR, which I had never fully understood before.)
