Nice! Working a little Hamlet reference in there ... very literary!

Ooooh ... maybe Kevvie could re-write some Shakespeare next! You know, work some giant killer robots into Macbeth and that sort of thing.

Well, HELL, if Sir Elton John can do "Pride and Predators", I ask you, WHY NOT MECHBETH?!

Hyppo seems to be posting a lot on DN these days (BECAUSE SHE HAS SO DAMNED MUCH DUNE TO CONTRIBUTE DAMMIT!!!)...does that mean Sietch Tabr has slowed down?

Anyway, herself on cover art:

Personally, there is NO cover art that would induce me to buy Harry Potter. There is some cover art that attracts my attention to a book - especially if it's done by Michael Whelan or Larry Elmore. But that's no guarantee that the story inside the cover is worth the $10.99 CDN plus GST that it would cost me to buy it.

OK, I see what she likes...I mean, means. That caught my eye, too.

(Don't anyone let your children see that now!

)

See? You do have something in common with Hyppo!

You're a very deep and intelligent woman Hypatia (you always kick my butt in debates too). I wouldn't ever think a cover of a book would effect you or a majority of religious Dune fans.

Oh, kewl, it's almost like some Dumb Novels version of The Reader ... only it's the kid that's illiterate. The "woman" is still a Nazi bitch, though.

Oh, doubly kewl! Prodigal providence: stupid has come home!

Considerably indeed. Doesn't seem like too long ago at all, reading on the blog that the first draft was just being completed. Was it October?

You gotta give Kevin and Brian credit. They may not have been able to match Frank's mastery of prose, but they would definitely beat him in a writing race. I heard it took Frank more than five years to write Dune...
I heard the same. But you have to recall that FH was creating a universe not just writting in one... ..and of course the obvious fact that there are two of them as opposed to one of him.

He's serious about that answer, you know. Really. What more need be said?

Wow ... talk about having lowered your expectations below ground level.

Fortunately Schu was on hand:

jacurutu.com is much more active, and I find the intellectual level to be higher, not to mention the more balanced approach to moderation.

There's some low level back-and-forth chatter between fedaykin1976 and Redstar about The Chronicles of Riddick ripping off Dune, but ... meh, why bother.

This, however, is primo quality stuff: NFD IS BACK AGAIN!!!

I have heard that Mars was inhabited with humanoid life in the distant past but was destroyed by war. The original Planet of The Apes series was influenced by the author's past life memories of Mars.

I don't know ... I'm not sure they're the same person ... as frightening as the thought that there could be more than one of them is.

I think (w)H(olly)R(aving)N(utcase) is there in the UK with you, in Wales. Lots of UFO activity there, no?

inhuien · Post by **inhuien** » 09 Mar 2009 08:35

You know I think you're right, IIRC he used to go on about living in Wales, in a hole in the ground tripping on Psilocybin.

I particularly enjoyed his posts on the now defunct Sietch, where he claimed that the government had cleaned out his bank account to keep him under their control.

Gorrr, imagine if he'd ever managed to get his trembling hands on sufficient funds to buy hard drugs, instead of eating the toadstools harvested from his own naval jams.

Hmmm. I see Hyppo has finally pulled her head out of her box and publicly acknowledged her connection by posting a link to Sietch Tabr.

Not much else happening, unless you want to discuss how Helion Prime (Chrons of Riddick) resembles Arrakeen. ... (ahem)

Yes, she posted a link to her miserable failure of a site just after she read my PM to her bitching at her for passing on email contact details to the "admins" at Snatch Tabr while she was claiming not to be a member of that site. I'll post the PMs later.

Please do. The paroxysms of vaginal spasms that result will probably paralyze her from posting for a while.

OK, I'll pull them together. Prepare to be amazed, appalled and amused in equal measure. She's even more stupid than I thought.

SandChigger · Post by **SandChigger** » 10 Mar 2009 11:41

Oh, please, enough with the exaggeration!

(I mean, that's not possible, is it? For her to be stupider than you thought?

Are you a gambling man? I'll post them in the Sietch Tabr Is Dead thread, may as well keep the Hyppo-related shit in one place to stop it spreading like effluent over the rest of our otherwise pristine board.

Why not? It's not like it's really about Dune, except in a very peripheral sort of way.

I mean, there's precious little Dune-related discussion there. Evidently they've BEEN THERE, DONE THAT. But plenty of McDune and KJA ass-sucking.

This dipshit joined about the time I got banned, and in the interim of about a year and a half has made only 27 posts. ALL in the fan fiction forum.

Now he pops up again after a hiatus of about half a year and decides to continuextend one of Chanilover's posts parodying SeruK Anus's Vernian League shit. Which CL posted in February 2007.

I didn't even bother trying to read the whole post to see if there's anything even remotely amusing in it. The utter cluelessness of the whole thing is just off-putting. And this moron trying to riff on something by CL, well, that's like when arnoldo tried to continue one of my fanfics.

Another massive fail.
