Bored of the Rings

[skitty]

I mentioned this elsewhere; and thought it was worth mentioning here:
Bored of the Rings, 1969 by Harvard Lampoon
It should have anyone seriously familiar with Hobbit and LOTR howling:laugh:. Unless you've lost your sense of humor.

It's just dumb and humorless.
Also homophobic.

Yes; but I was a teenager when I read it:tt2:.

Years ago the National Lampoon did a funny take off on Frank Herbert's "Dune", FWIW.

They also have some interesting Churchill quotes...

When the noted playwright George Bernard Shaw sent him two tickets to the opening night of his new play with a note that read: “Bring a friend, if you have one,” Churchill, not to be outdone, promptly wired back: “You and your play can go fuck yourselves.”

At an elegant dinner party, Lady Astor once leaned across the table to remark, “If you were my husband, Winston, I’d poison your coffee.”
“And if you were my wife, I’d beat the shit out of you,” came Churchill’s unhesitating retort.

While serving as a subaltern in the Boer War, the young Churchill was asked by a superior officer to give his opinion of the Boers as soldiers.
“They’re assholes, sir,” he ventured, then paused briefly and added, with a whimsical smile, “They’re assholes.”

I saw the National Lampoon "Lemmings" show at the Village Gate and it was great!
