LOVED the old National Lampoon magazine, in particular the articles Doug Kenney contributed. I still have a fair collection of old back issues. I guess they're all back issues now

its pretty funny, and sad.

I remember when NL came out. Around '70-'71?? Myself and a friend of mine used to go nuts over it. But like everything else it ran its course and kinda hit the skids there at the end. Brings back memories of my college years.

I believe the National Lampoon emerged from the Harvard Lampoon. I could be wrong about that.

But what I want to say is that the Harvard Lampoon put out a book called "Bored of the Rings," a parody of Tolkien's trilogy, and for years I thought it was the funniest thing I had ever read (Catch-22, Confederacy of Dunces, and Me Talk Pretty One Day may have dethroned it).

Anyone who loves Tolkien should read "Bored of the Rings." Hysterical stuff, done with love.

I'm on my third copy of that.

It IS the funniest thing I've ever read.

Goodgulf, Frito, Spam & Dildo.

And of course, the villains Sorehead and Goddam.

HAHAHAHAHAAHHAAA!!

National Lampoon was awesome - had a subscription in the day
I wish I didn't throw those out.

btw when I saw the title of this thread a certain scene from Animal House came to mind. I tried to post the vid but it's restricted

Bluto: Hey! What's this lying around shit?
Stork: Well, what the hell we s'posed to do, you moron?
D-Day: War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto: Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.
Bluto: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...[pauses to remember the rest of the phrase]... the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go! [runs out, alone; then returns]
Bluto: What the **** happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you're gonna let it be the worst! "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well, just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this! Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer—
Otter: Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.
Bluto: And we're just the guys to do it.
D-Day: Let's do it.
Bluto: LET'S DO IT!!
