Did some major skimming...now to jump in!

I love parodies for the most part, I don't much like such things as "Bored of the Rings" or "Star Wreck" because they're just stupid. Not to say stupidity can't be a good thing, it can be quite amusing, but in small doses. The highly concentrated stupidity in some parodies gets mind-numbing and slightly nauseating. Monty Python is on the borderline of "too stupid". Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams I love, and I spend most of my time on this forum in Mirth, which is mostly about parodying LotR. (New Movie Script, Crazy Captions, Crazy Scenes, LotR Road Trip...the list goes on and on)
