ON Sisters.

I stack the wood so neat
Arranged for best Heat
I sprinkle the gas
I pause for a laugh
I reach for the match
strike once
strike twice
I light the Pyre
Waving farewell to the Mcdune I do not desire.

Screw them for asking!
Leto II is gone for good, except for OM. The "pearl" was just that; a miniscule portion of what Leto was, and not a compressed version of the whole. The pearl that the worms have do not make them Leto, or in any way similar to him.

EDIT TO ADD
I see now
The sense you made
I did not sense.

C'mon! It's POETRY mate! Atta boy for using the rare 3-4-4 pattern, that's a bold choice! :P

I do think there's something poetic about our discontent.
Despite the evil that's being done to a thing we all love, we've found each other because of it!

Stop being an asshole, asshole. Serkanner helped build this place, as well as every other fucking place we own. So respect him or fuck off.

Check it out. I'm sure they'd welcome anything that you have to say that might actually be insightful.

In case you were wondering...That wasn't it.

Well, there you go. I'm being an asshole, and I see that. But you know, I think Serkanner may be an asshole, too. Now, forgive me (or not), but he may be an asshole. Maybe not all of the time, but, you know, every now and then. He just rubs me the wrong way, and I'd rather fuck off than not speak my mind. He speaks his.


@Nekhrun I was serious on the chairdog thread. If you feel I may be on to something, then let me now. If not, then let me know where I'm off. I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong. How about a response to that, seeing as how it actually has to do with Dune. Or not, whatever. Fuck. I would rather not fuck off, but I will if you are all in agreement. Oh, well.

the brilliance of your friction defines you
shooting star
blaze of glory
caution matters no more, you will be heard
spend your rage
against the night
glitter against the backdrop of the void

It seems you have outwelcomed your stay. Try discussing Dune on Dumbnovels, you'll feel right at home.

The fact you chose not to use this Image leads me to believe you left your comment on purpose.
What that purpose would I don't really care, but I'll have you know that before getting cocky around here, it's best to make sure you're not misunderstood.
It's a long process to gain people's trust, and there is no guarantee they'll like you, but that's the way things go.
So stop those pointless provocations, they make you sound like a dick, and it's up to you not to.
We're not going to hold your hand all the way, one day those little wheels will have to come off.

Well, that was abrupt. And uncalled for, given the context.

JustSomeGuy, it's up to you whether you leave or stay. But if you stay, please play nice.

Acting out against other members who "rub you up the wrong way" will not earn you any cred, or respect, or acceptance here. You may see some apparently abusive disagreement between members here, but that's only because there's been a lot of respectful disagreement beforehand.
