Some things don't need rebooting, they just need reprinting.

Wait long enough and the DMsGuild will have you covered. Printing on Demand for the win!

If you're going north in the Crystalmist Mountains to get to the Barrier Peaks, it's because you''d like to ....

Pass the Duchy on the Geoff-hand side.

I honestly don't know if I should be proud, or ashamed, of that one.

Proudshamed?

I believe the proper term for that is "playing a paladin".

Can we get our Racial Antipathy tables back?

And what about Cubic Volume of Rock Mined per 8 Hours Of Labor Per Miner (Per Race)?

Ooh, I know - the Lycanthrope Transformation Busting Out of Armor Damage table!

Ha! Furyondy was Gygaxian code for, "Don't use this." What, you think a real country would be called Furyondy?

Wasn't that supposed to be the eventual setting for the Greyhawk movie, Mad Mage: Fury Yonder?

That was in an old Dragon Magazine article- Paladins were never supposed to be a part of D&D, except that Gygax (who could do no wrong) had a "joke class" (see also, jester, accountant) in the early draft to make sure that no one copied his work.* Of course, he didn't realize that it was still included when it went to the printers.

*Much like mapmakers include fake towns.

One of those fake towns was where the Thunderdome was located, in which the Fury was supposed to be-Yonder.

Had one player at our table who insisted on calling the denizens of Furyondy "Furry-undies". That's just wrong.

Heresy! You are implying that Gygax made a mistake, which is of course unpossible!

Second, it must have tables. Lots of tables. How many tables, you might ask? Let's find out!
00 – 10 The number of tables you wanted, doubled.
11 – 25 Hyperlinks to even moar tablez.
26 – 35 More tables than Ikea has meatballs, or tables.
36 – 50 A table for every awesome name. Melf went to Verbobonc. Heh.
51 – 65 Sixteen appendices, full of tables.
66 – 75 Every table has four legs, and each leg is a table. Tables, all the way down.
76 – 85 You know the story by Borges? Library of Babel? Yeah, like that. But tables instead of books.
86 – 90 One table, that is a meta-table, that contains all tables. Greyhawk goes Godel on you.
91 – 92 Only one table, but it resolves the exact number of moons that Greyhawk has. /ducks
93 – 94 Three tables- snow, frost, and ice.
95 – 98 No tables, because they were destroyed by the Scarlet Brotherhood.
99 – 00 Roll twice, add the results.

Surely 00 must point to the Table of Tables, whose motto goes

One Table to beat them all, one Table to rule them
One Table to bring them all and in the darkness fool them
