"Things not to do while watching The Lord of the Rings."

[moof]

Hope this has not been posted a million times here.

1. Stand up halfway through the movie and yell loudly, "Wait... where the hell is Harry Potter?"

2. Block the entrance to the theater while screaming: "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" - After the movie, say
"Lucas could have done it better."

3. Play a drinking game where you have to take a sip every time someone says: "The Ring."

4. Point and laugh whenever someone dies.

5. Ask everyone around you if they think Gandalf went to Hogwarts.

6. Finish off every one of Elrond's lines with "Mr. Anderson."

7. When Aragorn is crowned king, stand up and at the top of your lungs sing, "And I did it.... MY way...!"

8. Talk like Gollum all through the movie. At the end, bite off someone's finger and fall down the stairs.

9. Dress up as old ladies and reenact "The Battle of Helms Deep" Monty Python style.

10. When Denethor lights the fire, shout "Barbecue!"

11. In TTT when the Ents decide to march to war, stand up and shout "RUN FOREST, RUN!"

12. Every time someone kills an Orc, yell: "That's what I'm Tolkien about!" See how long it takes before
you get kicked out of the theatre.

13. During a wide shot of a battle, inquire, "Where's Waldo?"

14. Talk loudly about how you heard that there is a single frame of a nude Elf hidden somewhere in the
movie.

15. Start an Orc sing-a-long.

16. Come to the premiere dressed as Frankenfurter and wander around looking terribly confused.

17. When they go in the paths of the dead, wait for tense moment and shout, "I see dead people!"

18. Imitate what you think a conversation between Gollum, Dobby and Yoda would be like.

19. Release a jar of daddy-long-legs into the theater during the Shelob scene.

20. Wonder out loud if Aragorn is going to run for governor of California.

21. When Shelob comes on, exclaim, "Man! Charlotte's really let herself go!"

3. #22

Stand up and scream "What is this patriotic crap, Did Bush write this - I want my money back" when the bald eagles scoop down to save the day at the end.

Jackson never intended them to be bald eagles!

4. er... got this from my mom. #2 brings up a painful memory

which, of course, i'll be all too happy to relate...

i live in new mexico right now with my fiance. my parents live in ohio, but my mom had just flown out over xmas because i had ankle surgery. so, a few days after the surgery, we all went out to see LOTR and then we went to a nice eating estabilshment for dinner.

ok, let me put this in perspective by saying this: my mom is a dork. always has been, always will be. my fiance, too, happens to be a dork.

alright, now you can get this next part. so we're sitting there, the three of us, in a polite restaurant... mom grabs one of my crutches, stands up in the aisle and says "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!" needless to say, although i was doped up on percoset, i still wanted to dive under the table.

but to this day, my fiance thinks it was one of the funniest things he's ever seen.

*sigh* why do parents do things like that???

anyway, i think she almost died laughing before she sent me this.

:eyes: moms.... is everybody's like that?!?! :)

[corporatewhore]

5. Your mom sounds like she kicks ass!!! mine is like that too in a fancy

restuarant she made her breadstick like the sand worm in dune!!!

6. May I add one?

When Sam is carrying Frodo up Mount Doom, start chanting "Rudy, Rudy, Rudy."

Couldn't help thinking about that scene in the movie with Sean Astin playing Rudy, when he finally gets to play football for Notre Dame!
