That was great, thank you! I especially liked #36; I had noticed that previously myself.

Did you ever happen to come across Harvard Press' "Bored of the Rings?" It's a funny parody, probably not available now, but if you can get your hands on it, you'll probably enjoy it.

Harvard Press' "Bored of the Rings?"

Been looking for a copy; read it many years ago. some notable highlights:

Bromosel's (Boromir's) battle cry is "Esso Extra!"

The Balrog is The Ballhog. Rather then drums signaling his approach, the sound of "Thump...Thump...Thump...Swish" can be heard.

Tom Bombadil is Tim Benzedrine, drug-addict.

and so many more...if you can find a source, please ping me...I've been checking used bookstores with no luck.

Hi, DemMom:

Fortunately Bored of the Rings is still in print. No doubt they rushed it back in when the first Jackson movie came out. Who could forget immortal lines like:

We boggies are a hairy folk
Who like to eat until we choke...

Or,

An elven lass there was of old,
A stenographer by day...
