Lard of the Rings and other "edible books"

The CU Edible Book fesitval celebrates my three favourite things: literacy, food and horrible puns. Check out the Lard of the Rings, featured here!

The Library at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 3rd Annual C-U Edible Book Festival (Thanks, 7-how-7!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I thought about adding “Legolamb” because of food, but not good ole “Dildo” not very food like, but still valid, thanks for remembering the old classics!

Yes, I had a copy of “Bored of the Rings”. No idea what happened to it, but it was hilarious.

“Lard of the Rings”. Not my idea of edible. Does it come with it’s own triple by-pass?

It’s like a wholly unhealthy menorah.

These happen all around the world on April 1st. Find one near you and go! I’ve been playing for 9 years now and it’s a blast every time.

Anyone every read “Bored with The Rings” publish by Harvard Lampoon? At least that had “Spamwize Gammy” and “Frito Bugger”…

This brings to mind my favourite joke from my university days:

“Forged in the fryers of McDoom, in the Lard of the Rings, comes the Onion Ring to Rule them All!”

#4, you forgot to mention “Dildo Baggins”.
