	Bored of correctors - The Boston Globe
		THE LAST STRAW, writes Linda Kidder of Essex, was hearing the expression "bored of" from the cartoon lips of Peggy Hill on the Fox TV series "King of the Hill." She may be a two-dimensional character, but as a substitute teacher, Peggy should know better.
		Some of the credit no doubt belongs to "Bored of the Rings": The Harvard Lampoon parody has been circulating for 35 years now, and the recent release of the "Lord of the Rings" movies helped keep it on the cultural map.
		Bore is supposedly a transitive verb only: "You bore me" is OK, but "I'm boring of you" -- that is, "becoming bored with you" -- is not.

	Bored of the Rings
		A Parody of J. Tolkien's ``The Lord of the Rings'' by Henry N. Beard and Douglas C. Kenney of The Harvard Lampoon
		``Bored of the Rings'' consists of 160 pages and is as irreverent of Tolkien's great work as possible, and yet the book succeeds admirably in telling a parallel story with surprising ingenuity and humor.
		But the story is not merely a silly parallel of the chronicled events surrounding the Ring, it also mocks Tolkien's presentation of the long and tragic stories of Middle Earth, the puzzle at the gates of Moria, and many other parts.

	The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Put-ons Bored of the Rings
		Bored of the Rings, a parody by the Harvard Lampoon.
		In this context, Bored of the Rings is a commendable attempt to re-establish the genre along its old classical lines.
		As with any decent parody, Bored operates on the assumption that anyone who might be frivolous enough to spend a buck on anything that bears the Lampoon's moniker must have already been foolish enough to read through all of J.R.R. Tolkein's The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

	Bored of the Rings - ChefTalk Cooking Forums
		The women in The Lord of the Rings are few and pallid, while The Hobbit has no female characters at all: even the giant spiders are regarded by Bilbo as male (the narrative voice uses the unsexed pronoun "it").
		The plot of The Lord of the Rings is centered upon the need to destroy a ring of corrupting force and immense power by traveling to the far land of Mordor and casting it into the Cracks of Doom.
		Tolkien's critics have complained that the moral economy of the work is radically flawed--that there is a confusion between whether the corrupting ring symbolizes sinful desire (the lust for power, or whatever) or should be seen as a magical object that acts upon the wearer as an external force.

	Rich Drushel's Parody of Appendix A, The Lord of the Rings
		Their principal purpose is to illustrate the War of the Ring and its origins, to attempt to fill up some of the many gaps in the main story, and to add to the already considerable cost of this book.
		At the Battle of Bryllopad, Sorhed was relieved of the One Ring he had stolen from the Elves, though in the taking both Gilt-gonad and Barbisol were slain, and the Ring was accidentally dropped into the River Anacin and lost.
		For long they were at peace, wielding their Magic Rings while Sorhed's power was broken and the One Ring was lost; but in their torpor they attempted nothing new, content to reread yesterday's newspapers, dress in last year's fashions, and otherwise dwell in the past.

	50 Reasons Lord of the Rings Sucks
		In the massive Mt. Doom battle scene at the beginning of Fellowship of the Ring, a DVD pause reveals at least half a dozen of the 50,000 Orc Warrior extras are wearing modern tennis shoes.
		The ring, which is seen to be at least two inches in diameter at the beginning to fit the polish sausage-sized finger of Sauron, suddenly fits Frodo's child-sized finger later.
		If you are a Lord of the Rings fan and were fooled by this, there is only one thing that will make you feel better: giving the link to another fan so they can be fooled, too.

		The Harvard Lampoon's Bored of the Rings is unquestionably a comic masterpiece as well as a brilliant parody of JRR Tolkein's famous The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
		JRR Tolkein was a fine academic, one of the great authorities on Norse saga, but why the hell he thought there was any need to recreate the old tales as a novel - worse, as a bloody trilogy - is anyone's guess.
		Dating from the days when Lord of the Rings was huge with hippies, it may or may not have been funny at the time, but sure as hell ain't now.

	Bored of the Rings Episode 3 - Voice Acting Alliance Forums
		It was during a battle that Sorhed got his finger cut off, this stroke killed him (for some reason <_>) and the ring was lost for centuries...until a nice little boggit found it.
		His name was Smallgull, and the ring twisted him, until one day the ring slipped off his finger aswell.
		The great thing about Bored of the Rings for the cast is if you don't like something the first time round you know there'll be a special edition 6 or 7 months down the road

		The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
		I do not wish to blather incessantly on about this novel's profound gift of inducing an array of chuckles from the reader, but "Bored of the Rings" achieves as such, as can ultimately be expected by such a company as Harvard Lampoon.
		"Bored of the Rings" is not, perhaps, a novel, but more of the offspring of a novellette and a novella, but it is long enough to allow a mile-wide grin to plastered across one's countenance, despite its lack or privation of length.

		A vastly superior game to the one it is based on and one that makes far better usage of the source material available.
		Bored of the Rings is a downright silly game in places with the humour often verging on slapstick; that said, it is very, very funny and even when you're cringing at the bad jokes you'll still be laughing.
		Too many empty locations (due to lack of memory from a time when computer games had to fit within a certain size limit) mar the game and stop it becoming the classic it should have been, but even with problems like this BOTR is a great game which everyone should try.

	Bored of the rings Tolkien saga’s first chapter lacks magic By WALLACE BAINE SENTINEL ENTERTAINMENT WRITER December ...
		Everything about the dazzling new opening chapter to the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy — "The Fellowship of the Ring" — is top-notch: magnificent special effects, bold and sure-handed performances, lavish panoramas of Middle Earth landscapes and battlefields, strum-und-drang showdowns between mighty forces of good and evil.
		One of those kinsmen is Bilbo Baggins, the central figure of Tolkien’s one-volume "Rings" prequel, "The Hobbit." Bilbo is played by Ian Holm as a bone-tired, slightly addled village elder ready to slip away and write his memoirs.
		The history of the ring is recounted in a dark, utterly gripping prologue that underscores the ring’s power to corrupt even honorable men.

Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, entitled Bored of the Rings.
		Bereft of the Ring and almost powerless, Sorhed and his Nine Nozdru^l slipped away through the Ngaio Marsh and hid in the ruins of Barnyard-do^r, which the Alliance had levelled.
		Himself mortally wounded by a mote in his eye, Barbisol cut the Ring from Sorhed's fl hand with the hilt- shard of Nostril, and dying he fell with it into the fetid slime of the River Anacin.

		It is easy to draw a direct line from those girls dancing with their imaginary friends to "The Lord of the Rings." But while Mr.

		The members of the Fellowship have finally come together and set out on their quest for the ring.
		And a climactic moment such as Gollum's final struggle with Frodo for the ring is so poorly staged and lit that I defy anyone who doesn't already know the plot to guess what is happening.
