Featuring such classics as Rodin’s The Smooch and da Vinci’s Mona Moi, Miss Piggy’s Kermitage Collection, is truly full of wonders. Included in this book is a map of the entire museum and notes from Piggy herself on the various pieces. She even gives advice on how to collect truly great art.
This book is worth it for the art alone. Trust me on this. However, Miss Piggy’s descriptions of the artwork, and what is most important to her regarding art (if she’s in it or not, usually) is show more also incredibly entertaining. show less

This is truly the only self-help book you will ever need. The wonderful Miss Piggy gives advice on dinner parties, exercise, being a working woman, romance, and so much more. She puts her definitive Piggy spin upon all manner of questions and leaves the reader better for it.
For instance, she reminds the reader to be cautious when starting a new workout regimen. It’s far too easy to take on more than you can handle and overdo things, possibly even hurt yourself. Think about the daily little show more exercises you already do regularly and incorporate them into your tally of burned calories. She uses examples from her own life to demonstrate: “Walking from bedroom to closet and back to bedroom mirror to admire outfit (20 feet, 30 times per day = 600 feet)” which is 80 miles each year. Nothing to sniff at, I assure you.
One of her best dieting tips is never to eat anything that is too heavy to lift. I am only sharing these few tidbits with you, but you can be assured that the whole book is full of gold like this. One of my favorites, and something I intend to incorporate into my own parties, is her “Snacks of Many Nations” idea, where you order take out from several different places and guests can guess which course will arrive next.
This is the book you need, folks. You are living your life completely wrong if you are not following Miss Piggy’s guidelines. She includes helpful photos and charts, even cute little drawings. You may even spot a certain green frog in these pages. Don’t wait. Find your copy today! show less

Boggie Frito Bugger is on a quest to destroy the evil Sorhed's One Ring featuring heavily altered, incompetent characters and constant, crude humor.

Frito Bugger - Frodo, Spam - Sam, Pepsi - Pippin, and Moxie - Merry and Pippin, Goodgulf the Wizard - Gandalf, Legolam - Legolas, and Gimlet - Gimli make up the fellowship.

The story moves through a satirical Lower Middle Earth, featuring locations like Riv'n'dell, a tourist gift shop, and Lalornadoon. It covers the main arc in a fraction of the show more time, packed with innuendo and 1960s pop-culture references. show less

The Harvard Lampoon's parody of "Lord of the Rings," though entertaining, is quite dated. Unlike LotR, which J.R.R. Tolkien deliberately wrote to evoke an older time, "Bored of the Rings" suffers from its dated humor and references. What's worse is some of the offensive and unfunny jokes. At one point, Frito (the stand-in for Frodo in this tale) dons blackface and performs a minstrel show to escape the story's version of the Ringwraiths. This scene, and several others, are neither funny nor show more do they advance the plot. Had they occurred in a modern book, I would have believed the authors were trying to earn some laughs through shock value. Perhaps most unfortunate of all is the manner in which the authors condense what took Tolkien nearly 1000 pages to write into the span of 160 pages. Approximately the first 100 pages are based on "The Fellowship of the Ring" with the other two volumes represented in the remaining 60 pages. A passionate fan of Tolkien's Middle Earth legendarium may gain some enjoyment from "Bored of the Rings," but most readers will find it tiresome and unoriginal. show less
