Still, none of those can beat "There is a shadow and a threat growing in my pants" from FotR.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".

Keep breathing!
Back in 2000 my brother sent me a bit about a game where you substitute "pants" for a word in a quote from Star Wars. Definitely coffee on the monitor stuff.
"Use the pants, Luke!" "I used to bulls-eye womp-rats in my pants back home." "A tremor in the pants. The last time I felt this was in the presence of my old master."
Points were given for knowing the speakers and re-constructing the original quote. Wish I had a place to post the whole thing, but it's long.

My welcome message when I turn on my phone is "Not idly do the pants of Lorien fall."

Some award noms just came out: Chicago Film Critics nominations include eight for RotK, with both Sean Astin and Andy Serkis getting Best Supporting Actor nominations (!), and the Visual Effects Society announced their nominations, and RotK got a lot (I didn't count them all), including Sean Astin for Outstanding Performance in an Effects Film, and notice that the RotK nom for Outstanding Character Animation includes Andy Serkis with the techies!
The SAG nominations are being announced tomorrow morning (6:20 am PST, broadcast on the E! channel)--if Sean Astin gets a nom here, there's a good chance that he might snag an Oscar nom as well (Oscar ballots are due this Saturday, and noms are announced on Jan. 27th).

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
I did not get to see Andy Serkis. By the time we got there, a thousand people were ahead of us in the line, there wasn't anywhere large enough to do the reading, and contractually he was only able to sign movie-related stuff (of which there was none: the manager got 200 copies of the Gollum book from another store, and by the time the clerk got back to our section of the line to inform us of this, the books were gone).
