Don't have to be bored of the rings to enjoy bored of the ring....It's a spoof, a lampoon! It's very funny.

I think I saw a copy a very long time ago (a very, very long time ago) so long ago I can't remember what I thought of it!

I found a copy at a library. I just have to wait for it to arrive at mine.

After I read it, I'll tell you if I thought it was funny.

Oh, btw, did anyone know that the ppl that do Sevgate Sev, Sev-files, etc, have a LotR comic now, too?

I haven't heard about bored of the rings, but it sounds interesting.

The sev one is called Fraud of the rings, here's the link for those that don't know about it http://www.sev.com.au/toonzone/fotr.asp

Heh, yep, that's it. I read the "Gandalf, why do you dress in gray?" strip.

"Gee, I dunno. Why do hobbits taste so damn good?" and "I don't know, why do you and Sam hug so much? If I didn't know better, I'd say that ring meant you're engaged." were the two BEST entries.

But no, they had to go and quote the book (somewhat, the sentence structure is the same)
