10. The Dwarves Aren’t So Hot, Either
Editor’s Note: Luke Haines is freaking us out with a longish series of short parodic pieces in which he trashes Baby Boomers (not unlike his editor) for destroying the economy and the environment. This week, however, he extends his trashing to include some dwarfs, who might be people in his own generation. Dang those Millennials.…
Read More9. Dragons, Treasures, Bar Tabs
Editor’s Note: We are, as clever readers will recall, running a longish series by our U.K. Editor, Luke Haines. In it, he is respectfully trashing Baby Boomers and Others for ruining the planet. Geez. One little world. You’d think that it was the only one we had. “Jeeeeeeeeesus,” I winced as I sat up. I’d…
Read More8. One Big Bad Mother Elfing
Editor’s Note: Long term readers will recall that we running a series by Luke Haines, our UK Editor and Correspondence. It seems to be about dragons and Baby Boomers and the demise of the environment. And apparently there’s some comedy involved. But we can’t be sure. It is way too complicated. And we’re such limited…
Read More7. Suck Fire, Brimstone Breath
Editor’s Note: Readers will recall that we are running a series of parodic pieces by Luke Haines. It is based on the Tolkien books and trashes Baby Boomers for screwing up the environment and the economy. The editors of LR Net are Baby Boomers, by the way. So surely Luke isn’t talking about us. Right?…
Read More6. Meet Mr. Dragon
Editor’s Note: Luke Haines has a done a series of parodic pieces about just how much his generation doesn’t care for Baby Boomers and other nasty people (like editors). This week, we meet …the Dragon! Who looks surprising familiar. Almost like an editor. Far above the encampment where the Dwarves were now attempting a sub-par…
Read More5. A Serious Lack Of Deus Ex Machina
Editor’s Note: Luke Haines has given us a series of short parodic pieces bashing Baby Boomers and using a few references to the LOTR books for background. This week’s is short. Luke says you shouldn’t get used to it. Way longer stuff to come. I stumbled back into the Dwarf encampment after about a mile…
Read More4. Interlude with Pigs
Editor’s Note: Long term readers will know that we are running a series of short, comic pieces by Luke Haines which whack selfish Baby Boomers and/or Dragons (six of one). This week, we get the Ermitrude the pig, plus the Bechdel Test. “Jeeeeeeeeesus…” I winced as I sat up. I’d slept in my clothes, which…
Read More3. The Obligatory Busty Innkeeper’s Daughter
Editor’s Note: Luke Haines has given us a truly bizarre parody of the Tolkien books which also, somehow, takes a few shots at greedy BabyBoomers…including his loyal editor (that would be me). So, without further ado, here is episode three. It contains the obligatory titillating busty innkeeper’s daughter. Plus a pig shed. The town in…
Read More2. Tequila Sunrise (with raptors)
Editor’s Note: Luke Haines has provided us with a parodic series of short pieces saying terrible things about Baby Boomers (like his editors) and nasty, horrible warty creatures (also not like his editors). This is episode two. It was a long flight to the Lonely Mountain, but ultimately worth it. It cut out a lot…
Read More1. Not Even Remotely the Hobbit
Editor’s Note: This week, we begin a new foray into parody. Luke Haines, our UK correspondent and editor, will give us today the first in a series of short, comic pieces that will run over the next few issues. He describes his effort with: “ A while back I wrote something in which I compared…
