100 or More Things You Learned from LOTR

84. Do not use It again!
85. Do not travel at night!
86. Do not trust Butterburr to deliver the two above instructions.
87. Do not allow a philologist to create an imaginary language. He will take it too far. You really do not want to read essays on the etymology of Elvish words.
88. If the Loch Ness Monster is anything like the Watcher in the Deep...avoid traveling in Scotland.
89. If you are a hobbit entering Fangorn Forrest, either jabber constantly or carry a sign announcing your kind unless you want an Ent to stomp on you.
90. Ents stomp hard.
 
Oh, this is coming to an end... (Oh, not again... *recalling Into The West*)

91. While being a certain hobbit, there's always time for hunger (second breakfasts and all that) XP

92. Power only lasts by restraint.
93. If you live in a deep hole on a diet of worms, grubs, and fish, it will affect your complexion.
94. Trust your relatives before your advisors.
95. Playing with even acceptable magic has its consequences.
 
96. Take away the wizard's staff before he enters into the king's court.

97. Trees have feelings too.

98. When the general orc is about to discover you beneath the disguise of orc-armor, start a fight.

99. If you get ejected out of the king's court, don't spit on Aragorn's hand if he offers to help you up.

100. The leaves of Lorien do not fall in vain.
 
102. Avoid being taken captive by Orcs.
103. If you are taken captive by Orcs, don't let them doctor you. They are effective but very unpleasant. And their Neosporin leaves scars.
104. Orcs don't give good piggy-back rides.
105. Orc food may (possibly) be even worse than the food in your college cafeteria.
 
106. Always trust your friends.
107. Never trust Gollum
108. The Crack of Doom is not a nice place to visit.
109. Don't go sightseeing on Mt. Doom when it's exploding.
110. Know your friends well.
111. << that number is a reference to LOTR in and of itself.:D
112. If one of your relatives takes a ring from a cave and then later gives the ring to you more than likely you will end up with a stalker.

(or more than one:)
 
113. Make Gollum give you an explicit promise--not just some disconnected phrases he can twist--and make him swear it by his Precious.

114. Never forget about the Ents!
 
115. Opposites don't always attract--thus, the disappearance of the Entwives.
116. Respect the people who do the deeds more than the people who write books about them.
117. Don't tell scary stories when you're already scared.
 
118. Oliphaunts really are as big as a house!
119. Do not burn the Forest of Fangorn. There is no curse in elvish, entish, or the tongues of men for that treachery.
 
121. When hiding from orcs, keep you fist clenched so the Ring doesn't fall off.
122. Don't fall in love with Aragorn. He'll break your heart.
123. Heed no nightly noises. Tom will take care of you.
124. You can't go drinking ent-draughts and expect nothing to come of it.
125. The Gaffer doesn't approve of ironmongery, whether it wears well or no.
 
126. Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

127. The road goes ever on and on, down from the door where it began.

128. When an immortal marries a mortal, they will be left to linger on in darkness and in doubt.
 
129. Never, never kick a troll.
130. Orcs have uncomfortable fingers.
131. Enemies that you can't see are scarier than the enemies you can.

I already said that one, a long time ago.

132. If you see a long dark tunnel with no light at the end, just don't go into it at all.

133. Mr. Bilbo was cracked, and Mr. Frodo, he's crackin'!
 
135. Don't waste your lembas by trying to get Gollum to eat some.

136. Elvish rope is an awfully handy thing to have along on your travels.
 
137. It's always good to have the best salt in the Shire with you. You might have a roast chicken one night or something. You never know! (Extended Editions)

138. When you're about to die, you might want a friend (or son) to die with you. Just as a warning, Gandalf doesn't approve of that. His horse might kick you.

139. Never trust Sauron or his Mouth. Oh, and when he "bids thee welcome", it usually means there's a huge army behind the gates waiting to annihilate you.
