Anyone who has read Bored with the Rings by the Harvard Lampoon, published in 1969, should wonder why no one has ever written a parody of the Wheel of Time.  I am quite sure there are some good comedic writers among us who could try.  ::)

 

;D Struggling with the names of some of the characters in Wot, I began to create my own variations of the characters when discussing the books with friends.  Quite often, Moiraine became Migraine and Rand al'Thor became Rand om'Bore.  I got thinking, what a gold mine a Waste of Time book parody would be if done respectfully.

 

The characters could be:

Rand....................Rand om'Bore

Mat.....................Mac Coughdrop

Perrin.............Pardon Eyebrowya

Egwene.............Egg-wine al'Vinnie

Nynaeve............Nye-eve val'Halla

Moirane............Migraine Demanding

Lan..................Lame Assdragon

Thom................Tim Married-Man

Ba'lsamon...............Ballzy-man

Paden Fain.............Paddle Gaim

 

Just some thoughts to have fun with..... ::)-MR

 

 

The idea is very nice. No one has written a parody of WoT yet probably cause the series aint finished. We will probably see some sort of parody after the series is done. (I hope they pack it down to a smaller size like Bored of the Rings did...I dont wanna spend half a year reading the parody from WoT ;P)

Bored of the Rings was a fun read.  I think a parody of WOT would go over well.  I would read it.

 

I like Lame Assdragon, that nigh got me rolling!

 

lol at 'Waste of Time'

I would definitly read that book!!!

 

Of course I'd have to call Perrin, Paddin' A-bra

 

A few other names I'd suggest:

 

Ishameal............Fishysmell

Lanfear.............Lightbeer

Asmodean............Camodeian

Demandred...........Raisenbread

Semiraghe...........Backmassage

Messana.............Bannana

Be'lal..............Be'gone (because he was rather quickly)

Morgase.............Malaise

Logain Ablar........Rogaine Abald

Mazrim Taim ........Madman Tame (Tame is a play of the commen mispronunciation of his name)

Elaida..............Eyelazer

Elayne Trankand.....Easy-lay Backbend

Aran'gar............Aren't Guy

 

 

Gawyn Trankand - Gay-One Backbend

Siun Sanche - Swan Sushi

Aviendha - Isitinya?

Jaim Farstrider - Jim Fartstinker

Loial - Boil (from the Shanghi Shedding)

Calindor - Calendar (only works once a month)

High Lady Suroth -  High Lady Stewbroth

The Slayer - The Streaker (runs through your dreams nekkid)

 

Min Farshaw -  Man Furjaw.  Likes to dress in breeches, flannel shirts, and Birkenstocks.  "Eggwine, I see your future.  You're naked by my fireplace...um, I mean in the White tower......do you play golf?"

 

Don't forget the mysterious ALE-fans and the MILF-fans! The first group gives you three mugs of beer and takes away your memories.  The other makes you do chores around the house. 

BLASPHEMERS!!!

 

May you be attacked by rabid sheep.  Who carry knives.

"Ballzy Man"!

 

*slaps knee, doubled over laughing*

Padding A-bra is great!!! I wondered how he got that BIG CHESTY Blacksmith look....

 

Faile - Fail (another common mispronunciation)

Berilyn - Barrel-Lips (like Hot Lips from M.A.S.H.)

 

Aes Sedai would be Eye forEye....maybe....dunno....

 

"Oh no!! It's Bollucks!!! There everywhere, and they have a MadDrawl with them. He just won't stop drawing pictures!!"

 

At the Pink Eye of the World: "Ahhh, what is that? A Forsaken? .... No, just an eyelash."

"Ballzy Man"!

 

*slaps knee, doubled over laughing*

 

At least someone on this board gets me.
