I'm in the middle of the Young Indiana Bronso section. i was worried at first because the book seemed to be more boring than bad, but once Alia got started talking about historical accuracy it got really really fucktardish. (I am now convinced that at least half of the plot for Winds of Dune revolves around the HLP-OH conflict. Omph, what legal rights do we have to this? lol)
I'm annotating the book as i go this time, until I'm done here's a glaring inconsistency (which matters less as it becomes obvious they don't give a fuck)
Paul goes to study on IX with Indiana Bronso. No Problem right? i mean, we've already broken the rule that Paul's first trip off planet was to Arrakis. What about the quote from Dune that he had no childhood friends his own age? Well thats covered, Jessica restates it as he had no friends his own age on Caladan. Nice save right? Well Duncan goes to Ix, Gurney goes to Ix, good good. But no Thufur. Wait a minute, Paul is being trained to be a mentat right? Bronso isn't...SO WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY IN THE SAME STUDY PROGRAM.
Oh yeah, Jessica also mentions that Paul has no tutors on Caladan.
What did Thufir do to get so mistreated?

I flipped through a copy of Winds in the bookstore yesterday, and stumbled across a chapterlet where Jessica is talking to Irulan, I think, about Paul's childhood adventures, and Irulan is saying "What? I didn't know anything about that."
Without reading it in detail, it looked like that whole exchange was meant to "explain" why Dune omits any mention of - well, flatly contradicts - the "young Paul" sections of this book. Although I didn't read it closely enough to be sure.

That sounds like the gazebo scenes. Before or during the YA flashback? 
Re: The jacket lives!

During I think. It was either at the end of a "Part" or at the beginning of one.
Sorry I dont have more details. I literally picked it up, scanned a couple of paragraphs, realized what I was reading, said "oh FUCK!" in anger, and then started looking at how long the chapters were, just out of interest.

Yeah, I got bogged down in the YA section on the synopses ... and just can't seem to get back into it.

Do we need to add that blue shirt to the list, too? Isn't he often wearing it under The Jacket™?
Re: The jacket lives!

You think he's got, like, seven of those jackets in his closet at home? Like he found a sale at Filene's Basement one day and just stocked up? Or is he going to have to patch the worn out elbows in that thing soon?
I swear it's gotta have all kinds of food stains and encrusted dandruff on it by now. I'll bet it's fucking disgusting up close.

I think that the Jacket found out about this:

http://www.einsteinatoz.com/faq.shtml" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;I heard that Albert Einstein wore the exact same thing every day. Is that true?
Another story about Einstein that is highly exaggerated but has some basis in reality concerns his clothing. Many say that Einstein wore the same thing every day and had a closet full of the exact same suit, shirts, ties, and shoes. This isn't true, especially when Einstein's second wife, Elsa, was alive. Elsa took a firm hand when it came to her husband's appearance, and pictures of the two of them touring everything from Japan to the American Southwest show Einstein in beautiful silk vests, and dapper neckwear -- as well as in a kimono and an American Indian headdress. But after Elsa passed away and Einstein spent his last 20 years as a professor emeritus at Princeton, his clothing did become more, er, irregular. He openly disliked wearing a suit and while already legendary for often going sockless, now he wore sandals. Perhaps the most common pictures of Einstein from that time show him happily shuffling around his Princeton study wearing a big gray sweatshirt. Luckily for Einstein, his life coincided with the invention of the cotton sweatshirt -- for he was enamored of the soft warm comfortable garment.

That's one of our asshole mascots, Mike Resnick, in that second photo. He did a drive-by over at Chiggie's blog a while back, defending Anderhack and calling us all out. Typical Pretentious Author stuff, in other words. I think we also had a run-in somewhere else, too (some other random blog? Not remembering it right now).
He's pretty much an engorged donkey phallus. But, yes, with a fashion sense to die for!
