MSNBC-Obama bails out Ix and Richese!

What a lousy economy lately.
Upstate NY in USA here. Read original Dune book back in 1984 after seeing the movie for the first time. I became a instant fan of the series and avid reader of anything remotely Frank Herbert.
Have read and collected all original books in the series and the newer books. Some paperback and some hardcover versions.
Countless hours were spent playing PC game " Dune 2000" also.
Was in US Army during Gulf war I, wondered what comparisons were between sands and wadis of Saudi vs Arrakis.
I only imagined the chafing Fremen had in their stillsuits, my BDUs were magnets for any size grains of sands in Saudi.
Missed the SciFi TV series of Dune, ended up buying them a year or so later. Not bad!
Waiting for Throne Of Dune to be released now. Re-Reading Hunters and Sandworms Of Dune now.

They are totally too big to fail.

And, you know what? There are better Dune books to be rereading. KJA sucks.

Welcome to Jacurutu - what are your feelings about the new books vs the originals? I think it's pretty obvious what the prevailing mentality is at this Sietch!

hi. Hopefully Ix pays us back just as quickly as GM did (with interest!). Fuck Richese.

HOOAH! and welcome!

I was a cavalry scout during Desert Storm but I was in Germany the whole time, I don't envy your time in the sandbox. What did you do in the Army?

Hope your health insurance is up to date, cause after you reread those
disasters you will begin having headaches and loss of vision.. leading to
brain hemorage! be forwarned!!

your better off loading a shotgun and having a friend toss those two monstrocities in the air
as targets and blowing them to bits! more fun for you, less pain in the grey matter!

Omp said it, KJA Sucks.

GodEmperor save him from the McDune!!
