I remember these being so very popular at the time and place I entered fandom. These and the Aspirins' "Myth" books. *eyeroll*

I wouldn't disagree with you! They're not Piers Anthony books or anything like that. They're just based on a kind of elbow-to-the-ribs humor that isn't nearly as funny as it thinks it is. (What's the opposite of dry humor? You had to have been there, it was really funny when we were drunk?)
