On it looking like armor: I'm actually thinking that none of that is hard, armored material. It resembles human musculature because, well, isn't it supposed to use the movement of ones' muscles to provide the pumping action for its functions?

I believe most of the pumping is provided by the heel pumps in the boots.

Well, then, stormtrooper armor it is.

I think breathing provides some pumping action too, but not general muscle movement.

In the Lynch movie Kynes says that too. I think it was mentioned in the book...

Jizzing in your pants might too.

Wouldn't a singular "Freman" still be a Fremen? I'll have to go see what Frank says about it.

SandRider · Post by **SandRider** » 07 Jan 2009 19:03

Frank says: " Fremen."
Frank says: "Shut up, Byron."
Frank says: "You're a loser, Brian. You'll never amount to anything."
Frank says: "Tell Keith to stop raping my corpse."
Frank says: "Someone call the police...."

By KJA, they are the "Freemen" of Arrakis. And Freemen word developed to "Fremen". So, if Simon agree with what BH&KJA "wrote", the singular probably would be "Freman".

I'm back. 41 times in dune the phrase "a Fremen" appears. I'm guessing that there are more references to a singular Fremen as well.

Okay, back to the Liefeld bashing...

You know, we don't do nearly enough of that. We're slacking ...

The man cannot draw feet!

Wow, that felt good. Seriously.

Rob Liefeld is to comic books what Jacko is to tabloids

Hey! How about if Simon does the feet and Liefeld does the hands?!

That would work except for that Liefeld fucks up hands too.

Have you seen that Navigator picture?

I think I missed something at some point - why are we calling KJA Keith?

GamePlayer · Post by **GamePlayer** » 08 Jan 2009 17:49

I'm not, but I just assumed it's some nickname the crowd started using in a thread to which I wasn't privy. Kinda like Bri Bri and all the other names. I long since stopped trying to keep up with all the name and now I just run off context

Tleszer · Post by **Tleszer** » 08 Jan 2009 18:23

I don't know if it was used before, but I know I used "Bri Bri" in one story I posted and I think someone called KJA "Keith" over at DuneNovels and SandRider has taken to calling him that here.

Unless something else happened recently that I'm not aware of it goes something like this: Some Martian jackass on Amazon last year mistakenly called him Keith repeatedly and the name stuck. He was also a poster on DN

Post by **Omphalos** » 08 Jan 2009 19:29

Martian Bob. Can't remember his handle over at DN, but he was always bitching about his angina. His website is one kooky UFO conspiracy theory after another. I think he also is still "investigating" that face sculpture on Mars. He was the one who was also whining about how none of us (save Hyppo) gave him Dune related names for the Martian map that someone was putting together.

I keep wondering if he has died, but I dont think he has.

Anyway, he got all confused one day and started blathering about "Brian and Keith." I, of course, took up any opportunity to tease both of them so the name stuck.

Goddammit, getcher facts straight! Sculpture, hell! It's a frickin' face MONUMENT!!!

Good-ole "Bonzo for Barsoom" BOB WILLIAMS! YEEEEEEEEEHAW!

He's something like rhw007 ("Shook up all t'Hell ... but not stirred crazy!"?!) over on DN.

Bingo sir!

Also the suit wouldn't have any white on it were the image not a strict black and white deal. Those white ares on the stilsuit would actually be gray, the black portions of the suit would be a darker shade of gray as well.

[from edit} Freak is correct (of course!) but I figured the suit would need to work in concert with the natural actions of the body as not to hinder movement in any way, hence a muscly appearence. I was thinking of it as a second skin.

A sculpture can't be a monument?

Actually, I have heard that it is a roof. A roof of an enormous room. My God. There's stars in there!

Tom Cruise and Will Smith?

Ouch!

Plucked by Grace (and Will?) from Xenu's anus!

(I suppose it would be in extremely bad taste at the moment to make fun of John Travolta and Battlefield Arse?)
