HAHA this was the BEST part:<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>--"I can speak as a rampant fan, because I have read the book 40-plus times."<BR><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Wow, that person must have felt *really* special when he or she wrote that. One writes a letter to someone making fun of him or her, then BEGS for a reason to be made fun of.<P>Dave could have had a BALL with that one.<P>I LOVE LOTR spoofs! I've seen gooberly stupid pics (and LOVE them), I've read some of the jokes, and I enjoy a good LOTR poke. It's all in good fun.<P>I think too many people get bent outta shape when they read spoofs because they take the story so seriously. And I know, I take it seriously, too - but I know it's not <I>real</I>. Some people have issues with the reality aspect
