Larry Hankin: “Revenge Of The Ring Thing or Randalf & The Sacred Silver Sword of Truth”
Sure, you’ve heard of Gandalf, we’ve all heard of Gandalf, the Great Grey Wizard in J.R.R. Tolkein’s The Lord of the Rings, but did you know he had a younger brother, Randalf?
Well, it’s true, why would we lie? Gandalf’s long lost youngest brother isn’t as well known, but just because he’s not as well known doesn’t mean it’s not a true story, and yes, we realize that calling someone who 1,735 year-old young isn’t exactly accurate either, but whatyda goin’ to do?
So, on this particular day, Randalf happens to be studying for his Wizards Exam, which is set to take place the next day, and he’s a little concerned, as we all would be, especially because of that 500 year-old prophecy of vengeance, you know, the one that says “One of Gandalf’s brothers must be killed before the sun goes down.”
Meanwhile, Randalf tells us about the good old days in Gondor, and also tries to set the record straight about the real Middle Earth — “Tolkien got it almost right but, I was there” — while ignoring the ESP warnings of his roommate (an ex-wizard marionette named Spanky) to flee the “approaching Evil Warrior Princess of Doom.”
