Galactic Vagabond: Young Paul Atreides!

[SandChigger]

The best part is where Bonzo, who's had a mad crush on Paul since they were boys, dresses up like some drag queen cabaret star from Priscilla, Queen of the Desert Planet, and marches bravely into the WhoKnew-y deathstill singing "What I did for love!"

And one more for good luck!

[Ampoliros]

Okay I'm pretty sure your making that part up.

[GamePlayer]

Too bad. It's probably far more entertaining than KJA's entire Dune run

Drag Queens of Dune...

[SandChigger]

It's only a matter of time....

[Tleszer]

Isn't CL working on something like that?

[SandChigger]

You mean the Trannies of Dune series?

[Rakis]

[Hunchback Jack]

In other words, Paul runs away and joins the circus.

God damn. Just when you thought Dune couldn't get any more farcical. And those excerpts were just dreadful.

[Ampoliros]

has anyone brought this up before about Paul's excursions? I mean we already know about the whole 'off-planet' crap.

Chapter 4 Dune By Frank Herbert

"You have read that Muad'Dib had no playmates his own age on Caladan. The dangers
were too great. But Muad'Dib did have wonderful companion-teachers. There was
Gurney Halleck, the troubadour-warrior. You will sing some of Gurney's songs, as
you read along in this book. There was Thufir Hawat, the old Mentat Master of
Assassins, who struck fear even into the heart of the Padishah Emperor. There
were Duncan Idaho, the Swordmaster of the Ginaz; Dr. Wellington Yueh, a name
black in treachery but bright in knowledge; the Lady Jessica, who guided her son
in the Bene Gesserit Way, and -- of course -- the Duke Leto, whose qualities as
a father have long been overlooked."
-from "A Child's History of Muad'Dib" by the Princess Irulan

[SandChigger]

Why bother?

I mean, when I brought up Duke Leto's "This will be your first time off planet", Kevin's response was a prissy little snit telling me to read the book (PoD) more carefully before asking stupid questions.

He'll just spout the same old shit about Princess Irulan having written it that way.

The motherfucker isn't going to back down on this, no matter what textual evidence or logic we throw at him. He thinks that now he's written it, it's the final word.

Fuck him.

[dunaddict]

Fuck him.

No thanks.

[Ampoliros]

yes, but it's still important for us to log all available evidence against him.

I mean we have a few solutions really:

1)KJA "sees the light" and apologizes to the literary community and begs forgiveness. (.000000000001% probability)

2)KJA has a mental breakdown when that little part of his Id that knows a he's a hack and a cheat finally goes postal on his ego. (1% probability)

3)KJA dies of old age, and St. Peter, a HUGE Dune fan, wont let him past the pearly gates. (99% probability)
