Speaking of Nightmares. Who would have thought back in 1999, when the first prequel was published, that they would fuck up so BADLY.
I mean, it's kind of mind-boggling how someone can write in the Duniverse for ten years and still make mistakes even a casual reader can spot.

I didn't expect FH's prose and would even have tolerated bad writing if their stories had stuck to FH's themes.

As far as nightmares go, this is worse than being in high school naked. Much, much worse.

I heard that's okay if you're a girl...and in the boys' locker room.

I mean, she can see the back of her head! Who can compete with that?

I'm sre there's a good blowjob joke i nthere somewhere...

..... love it!

He had the blue-within-blue eyes of spice addiction, but that didn't necessarily mean he was a Fremen. He had apparently ridden a worm into 'Keen, but nobody really cared. He kept his mouth filter on at all times. Until he walked into a bar.

He was the Sloe Desert Rider.

It was a dim bar, with several men around the main counter, and smoke in the air. The stranger ignored the others and walked straight to the bar and ordered a spice whiskey. Two or three of the other men kept staring at him.

The bartender brought him his drink, and he removed his mouth filter. The man looked down at the drink for a long moment, then picked it up and drained it in a single gulp.

"Another," he said, so the bartender filled his glass again.

"Haaaaaaaah," the man let out a long rasping sigh after downing the second drink.

"Stranger, you OK?" the bartender asked him. "Something happen to ya?"

"Man...," the man said. "It was amazing. ... I just had my first blowjob."

All the men in earshot thought about that for a minute, then nodded their understanding. The bartender smiled as he poured the man another drink.

"Here, son, this one's on the house," he said. "It'll take more than two to wash the taste away."

Good One!

I'll get you for that one Chig.

I'll make you suffer. I'll make you, and every member on this board suffer through...

...the orginal inspiration for that story.

Great work, Chig! Excellent read.

Well, I only cleaned up the misspellings and grammar and changed the beginning a bit and added a new ending. Sloey's the original artist.


Just a reminder, Sloey, of why some of us got to like you and used to find you a lot funnier.

Funny joke.

Now, back on topic. I'm not sure if he would even bother with them, except that, well, everyone needs a little downtime- even a God Emperor, I'm sure. I think that a while into reading one of their books, he would go ape-shit. I mean, he would totally worm-out and start squishing people left and right. Even if there were no people around, can you imagine the destruction? The repair bills? This would keep happening every time he thought of their books- Yes, he would read more than one. Why? Well, just to be sure. Anyway, the memory of their writing would drive him to murder. Long story short, he would burn them amongst their own books. Use your imagination. The End.

I do that all the time.

Assuming it's not something any father instructs his son in, we all reinvent the wheel.

that joke made me think about waste of moisture, does that mean that Fremen swallow ?

Me and my wife got into a discussion about it last night, maybe it was inspired by this topic.

We came to the conclusion that it is better to be able to point and shoot.

When they masturbate, do they recycle it?

Discussing the disposal of semen in Dune with your spouse ?
Awesome upon awesome

I've thought about this some more.














I don't think they would swallow because of the high salt content.

Semen probably would have a negative impact on body water because it would require water to digest.

Maybe they just jizzed directly into the thigh pouch where urine & feces were processed.

Although, if it was valued for its water content, would that change the economics of prostitution?

You mean like maybe they pay the johns?

S'what I'm thinking, bra. It'd be a world gone mad.

Force them to read to the end of Dune, which they probably haven't done so far.
Squeeze Combover's manboobs painfully into one of Rebecca's high tensile support bras.

I imagine he'll go with the "Burn them alive on a bonfire of their own works" approach.
