Bored of the Rings by The Harvard Lampoon
First published in 1969, the New York Times bestseller Bored of the Rings is back--and just in time for the major motion picture release of The Hobbit. This classic parody of J.R.R. Tolkien's fictional universe is a timeless comedic masterpiece. The classic parody of The Lord of the Rings is back With a brand-new boreword by Henry Beard. The Power almighty rests in this Lone Ring. The Power, alrighty, for doing your Own Thing. If broken or busted, it cannot be remade If found, send to Sorhed (the postage is prepaid). It's up to Boggie Frito Bugger and his band of misfits--including inept wizard Goodgulf Grayteeth, halfwit Spam Gangree, twins Moxie and Pepsi, and Arrowroot of Arrowshirt--to carry the Great Ring to Fordor and cast it into the Zazu Pits. Can they avoid death by hickey tree and escape the dread ballhog? Can the fellowship overcome the narcs and Nozdruls hounding their every move and save Lower Middle Earth once and for all? Yes, of course--this isn't Hamlet, you know.The Harvard Lampoon, which first appeared in February 1876, is the world's longest-running humor publication. The first issue, written by seven undergraduates and based after Punch, the British comic magazine, went viral on the Harvard campus. President of the United States Ulysses S. Grant Grant was warned not to read the magazine because he would be too amused to rule the country. Conan O'Brien, Andy Borowitz, Greg Daniels, Jim Downey, Al Jean, and B.J. Novak are all Harvard Lampoon alumni.
