...I had the BIGGEST crush on Will Scarlet when I was younger. I melted everytime he said anything...  
It means I probably couldn't write this fic... no one wants to read a Legomance where Will Scarlet gets the girl

I saw this really funny but bad Robin Hood movie, where Robin wore tights, Maid Marian wore a locked metal underwear, (Lord knows how she pees or uh, do her business), and they couldn't find the blasted key anyway anyhow...so Robin had to use a power drill to release her on TNT. (LOL, stupid, but I was seriously bored).
Yes, she had red hair too.
Hrmm... it would prove interesting to read.

Yeah, that sounds like Men in Tights. If there was a chorus line at one point, then that was probably it. And that does sound like a fun plot to play with, one would think that the Meni in Tights Idea would be pretty easy to convert to ME, anyway. I wish I were as good at writing these as I am at imagining.  Not that I have the time to spend on writing anyway.... |

Here is the thread that started it all:
Comes complete with a link to the song...
(actually I think it is on Page Two of the posts...)

We're men, we're men in tights
We roam around the forest looking for fights
We're men, We're men in tights
We rob from the rich and give to the poor, that's right
We may look like sissies
But watch what you say, or else we'll put out your lights
We're men, we're men in tights
Always on guard defending the people's rights
La, la, la, ....etc
We're men, manly men, we're men in tights Yeah!
We roam around the forest looking for fights
We're men, we're men in tights
We rob from the rich and give to the poor, that's right
We may look like pansies
But don't get us wrong, or else we'll put out your lights
We're men, we're men in tights, tight tights
Always on guard defending the people's rights
When you're in a fix, call for the men in tights
We're Butch!!
The FLIP side of this is a serious opera of LOTR sung in Italian. The elves, those beardless beauties, would probably all be castrati! NO, cancel that...bad idea...
To hear "Men in Tights":

Sing along, now, with Hal and the boys!
I will NEVER be able to see the three lovely brothers of Lorien in the same light again.

Speaking of parodies, somebody did a Monty Python's Silmarillion fic, I'll try to find it but it was very funny. It was screen play style and one of the actors, Micheal Palin I think portrayed all the Sons of Feanor. The descriptions of the costume changes was a hoot. I'll have to root around for it. The fic was called Monty Python's 15 Minute Silmarillion

That would be SO wonderfully irreverent! Please DO find it for us! Kind of like the book, "The Sillymarillion!"

It's on:

I understand many of the LOTR cast participated in a spoof called "The Return of the Towering Fellowship." I guess it was a total send-up with the cast parodying their own roles.
This seems reminiscent of "The Reduced Shakespeare Company" who spoof the great work of the Bard himself.

I don't know if it is on a Web site, I have only seen stills. I guess it was screamingly funny.
It happened at one of the LOTR conventions, and the script was written by Mark Ferguson with his partner in crime, the lovely Craig Parker. As professional comedians, I'd like to see them perform "Men in Tights" in LOTR elf costumes.
