    A parody of a line from “The Fellowship of the Ring”. Very well known on hte Internet. The original is “Do not meddle in the affairs of Wizards,
    for they are subtle and quick to anger.”

    My immediate response was the Harvard Lampoon's Bored of the Rings
    parody but I found this one which might be of interest (note the 1989
    Usenet reference)
