From Harvard Lampoon in 1969, eventual founders of National Lampoon magazine gave us BORED OF THE RINGS, an epic parody of Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings." This '90s reprint edition will still delight anyone with a love of fantasy and a good sense of humor. Journey in for this and much, much more!

9/22/23 Open 6-10p. No open containers, please.

Front: A wizard, Goodgulf, with bushy white beard, glasses, a purple robe with stars and planets and pointed hat to match, blows smoke rings from a pipe before a fireplace in the humble well appointed abode of Frito the Boggie; looking on his guest with a smile while sweeping a ring under a rug among the wizard's mess of chips and empty beer cans.

THE ULTIMATE, BEST-SELLING PARODY OF THE LORD OF THE RINGS!

BORED OF THE RINGS

BY THE HARVARD LAMPOON

NOT the inspiration for ANY epic motion picture!

A STATEMENT FROM THE AUTHORS

ABOUT THIS LAMPOON EDITION: This paperback edition, and no other, has been published solely for the purpose of making a few fast bucks. Those who approve of courtesy to a certain author will not touch this gobbler with a ten-foot battle lance.

Also thinking about #DougKenney of the #NationalLampoon today. He shuffled off to a funnier place 50 years ago today at Hanapepe Lookout in Kaua'i.

Doug Kenney had more to do with the present state of my sense of humor than almost anyone else.

So now you know who to blame.
