Ah yes, the adventures of Frito and Spam.... :)

Don't forget Pepsi & Moxie, Gimlet, son of Groin & Legolam, GoodGulf Greyteeth, the Ballhog, Arrowroot son of Arrowshirt, Eörache, daughter of Eörlobe, the Riders of Roi Tan, Bromosel & Farahslax, the Narcs, and the Nozdrul.

Also the wonderful placenames like the Sty, Twodor & Fordor.

I can't believe I remember this stuff 44 years later. Now I have to go read it again. I'll do that as soon as I finish my reread of James D. Hornfischer's Neptune's Inferno: The U.S. Navy at Guadalcanal.

Reading this and your other comment makes me really glad I read the actual LOTR without knowing about the Bored of the rings, but that might have been written later.
