Try this one.

If I may digress just a little: a friend of mine wrote one or two or three Hardy Boys mysteries back in the '90s. I read one of them. If you understood that it was written by a fortyish queer Masters swim coach / adjunct English professor, it became a whole new book. The Boys did seem to be taking their shirts off an awful lot, didn't they? Now this was the sort of Hardy Boys book I needed back in the day.

Alas, when I checked the menu on the "Flashbacks" page, they did NOT include "How To Talk Dirty In Esperanto", which would have been on my list of classic NL pieces.

Or Terry Southern's piece on the SGR.

Or "Mrs. Agnew's Diary".

Or...

I had an email exchange with her earlier in the year, over the relative merits of a printed vs. a CD collection of Trots & Bonny strips.

It is hard to believe that no one has tapped her to put together a collection...

As long as we're wishing for old NL articles, I want the medieval account of the space race between Christendom and the Infidels. It was written in excellent dog-Latin, and illustrated in the style of manuscript illuminations. IIRC, the Christian rocket was powered by being stuffed with praying monks, and took off when they achieved contemptus mundi.

Kevin: Thank you. That does make sense. A remarkable amount of talent passed through NL in its glory days.

Mary Kay, I don't know about Nancy Clueless and the Hardly Boys. Say on?

Bruce, I think I may be able to help you.

The "Talk Dirty in Esperanto" sites I've found are maintained by Esperantists, and refer to the NL article only in passing, if they refer to it at all. As one of them says:

Some years ago (in 1972, to be exact) an article with this title appeared in the National Lampoon and caused quite a stir on campuses across the country. It was however quite unreliable from the linguistic point of view, since the authors had no qualms about inventing items they couldn't find in their (obviously very chintzy) dictionary. ...

However, you can find the original "How to Talk Dirty in Esperanto" in The National Lampoon Treasury of Humor, a reprint anthology published in 1991. The book is out of print, but according to this site you can get a copy for as little as $5.75 + S&H.

Shocking, indeed.

I had forgotten about Sidney Mellon. Thank you for reminding me!

There was a collection of Trots & Bonnie. Given that the collection was published in France, it is unsurprising that it is in French.

From what I understand, Esperantists don't object to people making up new words, as long as the words are well-formed and fill a gap. It looks like the complaint is that the neologisms weren't elegant and were redundant.

Problem was the NL article reinvented not only the wheel, but the rack and the Chinese water torture to boot.

The most egregious mistranslation in the NL article was the constant use of "fuki" ("to rockweed") for "fiki" (the proper F word). The result, to one fluent in Esperanto, was as irritatingly ridiculous as would be an article on "how to talk dirty in English" that gave the seven unmentionables as "shet, piz, count, fick, cockseeker, matherfaqir, Tietz". Pity the poor isolated learner who tried to use the thing to learn the juicy stuff. (Admittedly, NL never did claim language-teaching credentials.)
