I haven’t seen the copy of Bored that we had since maybe 1980-I’ve no idea where it went-but I’d bet real money that very few of today’s Haavahd snowflakes have the linguistic skills or appreciation for subtlety required to enjoy that satire-damned shame...

I’m not sure I ever had a copy of it, but be sure that I did read it, not long after completing the LOTR for the first time (total read-throughs, probably seven, although I generally learned to skip most of the Barrow Downs), and tried my hand at similar send-ups; the most work I did on one (at age 14, so...) was of Alice in Wonderland.
