FKL Book Review

[Ketchup345]

I recently read a book that I thought deserved a review from me, in FKL.

Frito, Spam, Pepsi, and Moxie go on a quest to save the planet by destroying a piece of cheap jewelry. They meet some friends along the way.

Oh, I should mention the book is Bored of the Rings by the Harvard Lampoon. It is (obviously) a parody on the LotR series.

The book was good and very funny at parts. It is short (~150 pages). It seems like a long advertisement at points (see names posted above).

Ketchup's Suggestion: It's worth it if you can find it (library, friend, buy).

[Tact]

I've actually read Bored of the Rings a while ago and I thought it was pretty funny. Maybe I should read it again.

[astuarlen]

Silly condiment, FKLites shun the printed word. Oh, except manga and/or Western comics; that's ok.

[Toadthroat]

I read Bored of the Rings years ago. It was funny but a lil short.

[Boogie Troll]

You can't get this ignorant if you read.

[Leviathan]

I really liked the Perks of Being A Wallflower.

[Weeaboolits]

That reminds me of this:

Never read it though.

*reading one of the seventh tower books* you say something ast? i wasn't paying attention

[Tact]

What, you're reading the Seventh Tower? I read that years ago. The concept is interesting enough but I really wish they went more into what life in the castle was like.

[astuarlen]

*reading one of the seventh tower mole-people doujinshi* you say something ast? I CANT HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF HOW FURRYAWESOME I AM



:clown:

[Sord]

*reading one of the seventh tower books* you say something ast? i wasn't paying attention

the Seventh Tower series, while good, is a freaking elementary level book *facepalm*

[Tact]

the Seventh Tower series, while good, is a freaking elementary level book *facepalm*

It pretty much teaches you the colors of the rainbow. :wacko:

There's that, and you can die if you breathe incorrectly during a long run.

[TalHex]

the Seventh Tower series, while good, is a freaking elementary level book *facepalm*

indeed, i'm rereading it, just because its low level reading material doesn't mean i can't enjoy it, does it?

[Tact]

Well...if other people see you reading Seventh Tower, they might point and laugh at you. :wacko:

[TalHex]

which is why i read it at home

[Tact]

It still applies at home, Talon. What if people walk in on you and you're reading a book at a lower level than one at which you could be reading?

[TalHex]

why would random strangers be walking into my home? my life isn't a freaking legend of zelda game!

[Tact]

Fine, then, let me rephrase that.

What if your family walks in on you and you're reading something of a lower level than the one at which you could be reading? :wacko:

[TalHex]

well i'm an only child and my dad has his own place, so that leaves just my mom who could notice it and she doesn't really care, so no problem there

[Weeaboolits]

*throws Green Eggs and Ham at Tact*

DON'T JUDGE ME! ;~;

[Nitro Vordex]

I never read a book *Seriously* that has less than 400 pages.

Fact. >_>

[Tact]

We should give Nitro a book with 399 pages, just so we can ruin that claim. :wacko:

[Nitro Vordex]

But I wouldn't read it seriously, so ha. :wacko:

[Tact]

But I wouldn't read it seriously, so ha. :wacko:

What, would you actually go look in the back of the book to see if it has more than 400 pages? :wacko:

[Nitro Vordex]

Yes, I would actually.

[Tact]

Do blank pages count? I could just place a ton of blank pages randomly throughout the book so it looks like there are 400 pages. :wacko:

[Randomness]

Nitro, I'll give you a REALLY good book with more than 400 pages, and when you're at the climax, I'll yank it away from you, tear out the first half, and see if you finish it.

[Nitro Vordex]

Well, it originally had >400 pages. The story spanned >400 pages, so that means I'd still have read >400.

Sorry. Nice try though.

[TalHex]

*puts down the seventh tower and picks up Wolf's Blood* ah good 800+ page novel...

[Randomness]

Well, it originally had >400 pages. The story spanned >400 pages, so that means I'd still have read >400.

Sorry. Nice try though.

I'll rip out and burn the second half, then hand you the shorter (page-wise) hardcover version.

[Nitro Vordex]

Then I'll just prove that I still read >400 pages by finding the same exact book.

Nice try.

[Randomness]

Sorry, this book is ancient, historic, and only two copies exist. One hardcover, 300 pages, and paperback, 500 pages.

[Nitro Vordex]

If it exists, it's on the internets.

[TalHex]

*hits randomness with a paper fan* you just destroyed one of a two of a kind novel!?! *hits randomness again* idiot! (can borrow it when you're done nitro?)

[Randomness]

If it exists, it's on the internets.

Alright. Find me the entirety of the current manuscript for A Memory of Light on the internet.

[TalHex]

*hits randomness again for good measure*

[Nitro Vordex]

I already read it, so I don't need to. :wacko:

[Tact]

It's the Internet, guys. We can say we've read anything, and then look up major plot details on Wikipedia. :wacko:

[SpikeOtacon]

The CliffsNotes version of this thread:

Spam'd, Pyramid Head is coming next round.

[Nitro Vordex]

That's alright, I'll come back as a demon and kill someone twice with the same weapon.

[HAYABUSA-FMW-]

That's alright, I'll come back as a demon and kill someone twice with the same weapon.
But what if I already died and don't need to anymore?

Just like a toilet paper roll will from that biker guy episode of Crossing Jordan.

Medical examiner office autopsy performing cops. I think they have made shows about every kind of cop now. The horse is dead.

I want to see someone read one of those from front-to-back, just to see what their reaction is as the situation abruptly changes over and over again. It would be "Goosebumps: Your Own Acid Trip About _______." :wacko:

[Weeaboolits]

The goosebumps ones never put any of the endings on the last page, though, they were on to us. >_>
