Two lines that, er... stuck... in my head were:
"Mother!"
(which is
truly icky in context)
and also (while um... "enjoying the spoils of victory"):
"Pass me another elf, sergeant...
"
(Spoiler tag for those who don't wish to be grossed out without warning).
The book was indeed rather longer than could be sustained by its central McGuffin. But it's a loving sendup of the genre, that I recommend to anyone with a strong stomach. Just be certain you don't take ANY of it seriously.
