Arglebargle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arglebargle is the name given to the host of a party in the 1987 Stephen King novel The Tommyknockers. The character's name is Arberg, but a drunken poet starts calling him Arglebargle. Arglebargle is a "beefy sonofawhore."
An earlier reference to a fictional Arglebargle (the IV) can be found in the parody of The Lord of the Rings, Bored of the Rings (Signet, 1969) by National Lampoon founders Douglas C. Kenney and Henry N. Beard.
In the "PROLOGUE -- CONCERNING BOGGIES" it states:
"In the same year, the 1,623rd year of the Third Age, the Naugahyde brothers, Brasso and Drano, led a large following of boggies across the Gallowine River disguised as a band of itinerant graverobbers and took control from the high King at Ribroast. *"
The accompanying footnote reads:
"*Either Arglebargle IV or someone else."
