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.

It was recently reprinted; have you checked Amazon? Be sure to read Dr. Rich Drushel's Grey Havens and Appendix A parodies when you're done. I haven't read the original BotR, but "Mortgage the Enema and his fell bank Thangorodrim" had me rolling.

Refering to the geekilary.

Harvard Lampoons Bored of the Rings.

The Boogie national anthem.

We Boogies are a hairy folk
Who like to eat untill we choke
Loving all like friend and brother
We hardly ever eat each other.

Ever Hungry, ever thirsting
Never stop till belly's bursting (grammer error in orig.)
Chewing chop and pork and muttons
A merry race of boring gluttons

(sing) Gobble Gobble Gobble Gobble
Gobble Gobble Gobble Gobble

Boogies gather round the table,
Eat as much as you are able.
Gorge yourself from moon till noon
(Don't forget your plate and spoon).

Anything edible we've got dibs on,
And hope we all die with our bibs on.
Ever gay we never grow up
Come! And sing and play and throw-up!

(sing) Gobble Gobble Gobble Gobble
Gobble Gobble Gobble Gobble
