Bored of the Rings Very Average
Elfowitz

I find myself pretty much in agreement with Lilly on Bored of the Rings. I really was bored although the Sheeplords replacing the Rohirrim was quite funny. The best parody I have seen is by Molly Winter of the Two Towers. It's funny without being at all sick, well that's my opinion. One excerpt from it is:

RIDDERMARK

EOMER: Hi! Okay, stop me if you've heard this one. An elf, a man, and a dwarf walk into the Riddermark...

LEGOLAS: Ooh! And the elf shoots arrows through this git who rides up on a horse. Yeah, I HAVE heard it! That's one of my favorites.

ARAGORN: Down, Legolas. Hey, have you folks seen a couple little guys, about this high..?

EOMER: Nope. Oh! Unless they were in that pile of corpses we burned.

ARAGORN: Thank you; that's...useful...

EOMER: Yeah; my bad. Here, have some horses.
