Welcome to Gaia! ::

I do that! (Except for the hissing part xp ) biggrin

You might be a ringer if:
- you see someone tossing rocks in a lake, grab their arm and hiss, "Do not disturb the water!"
- a salesmen knocks at your door, and you fling it open, screaming "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!"
- you see a black horse and you scream and fall down clutching your shoulder.
- at parties, you stand for a while looking down into a bowl of punch, then gasp and fall backward like you saw the Eye.
- someone yells "There's a spider in here!" and you run into your room and come back with a flashlight in one hand and a replica Sting in the other.

xd I'm going to try these.

Man, I'm guilty of all of those... sweatdrop xd

LOL

You might be a ringer if the next big thing you're saving up for is the 50th Anniversary edition of The Lord of the Rings, which has leather binding, gold letters on the front, gold-edged pages, a full-color map on th inside...and happens to cost 100 buckaroons... sad
(Yes I'm guilty sweatdrop )

Oh I read this really funny thing with lots of these. Some of them are a bit out of date though because this thing was made before RotK came out. I'll just right the ones nobody has thought of yet:


Have you been Tolkienized?!

Note:...Tolkienism is a medical problem that cannot be corrected, fortunatly, it is only fatal in rare incidents, most of which involve angry Harry Potter fans....
If you have 3 or more of the following symptoms, feel free to contact your therapist....or just scream at the top of your lungs and take pride, your a Tolkienian.
