They did a reprint of it a few ago (in a trade paperback). I think i got one from Amazon, although it was a lot more expensive than the original (which was $1.95 back in 1970 or so...)

Cardboard Box of the Rings : The Soddit', 'the Sellamillion', 'Bored of the Rings (Hardcover) by Adam Roberts, Harvard Lampoon

This game does not have a learning curve. It has a learning cliff.

What's REALLY SCARY is that this may not be the ugliest baby I have ever seen. [X(]

GF shares this policy...she took a Nanny job when she was in her Summer of 16. The experience so scarred her that she's vowed to never have children! Woman after my own heart.

I think every 15-16 year old girl should be required to spend one summer month nannying to give them a taste of what motherhood is like outside of the romance books...i'm betting unwanted teen pregnancy would drop 80%!!
