Welcome to IWETHEY!

New and Hobbit, Silmarillion, Bored Of The Rings...
...and leafed through some of Christopher Tolkein's compilations of unpublished materials

"Going places unmapped
to do things unplanned
to people unsuspecting"
New There actually was a book of that title
Bored of the Rings, that is. I don't remember who wrote it but it was a parody that was OK at first but degenerated from there.
French Zombies are zapping me with lasers!
New Harvard Lampoon, IIRC
I've got it somewhere (didn't buy it, honest...); the acid paper's probably corroded to illegibility by now. I managed to get through a couple chapters, and vaguely remember names like Arrowroot of Arrowshirt, Goodgulf, Dildo.

New I know..
I'm not Bored of Lord Of the Rings, I've read "Bored Of The Rings" several times.

"'Indeed'
and if looks could main, they'd be carrying the old elf out in a basket"



They asked each other countless riddles, such as who played the Cisco Kid and what was Krypton. In the end Dildo won the game. Stumped at last for a riddle to ask, he cried out, as his hand fell on his snub-nosed .38, "What have I got in my pocket?" This Goddam failed to answer, and growing impatient, he paddled up to Dildo, whining, "Let me see, let me see." Dildo obliged by pulling out the pistol and emptying it in Goddam's direction. The dark spoiled his aim, and he managed only to de- flate the rubber float, leaving Goddam to flounder. Goddam, who couldn't swim, reached his hand out to Dildo and begged him to pull him out, and as he did, Dildo noticed an interesting-looking ring on his finger and pulled it off. He would have finished Goddam off then and there, but pity stayed his hand.


It's a pity I have run out of bullets, he thought, as he went back up the
tunnel, pursued by Goddam's cries of rage.
