Well met indeed! And yeah, I vaguely recall Alan Dean Foster popping by here too.

Dune audio advice duly noted. And, from what little I’ve read online about Brian Herbert’s books, I’d also gathered that the deep historical stuff is better than the Frank concurrent novels.

Ahhh...I avoid teeny tiny screens if I can. And sorry i was unable to respond earlier, had some business earlier and recently got back home.

Cheers! Yes, I lurves Dune and only recently finished reading the last two concluding sequels, written by Herbert’s son and Kevin J. Anderson. I thought they were okay, if a bit wonky with all those ancient gholas.

What’s good for the Bene-Tleilax should be good enough for you powindah!

Spoken and analyzed like a true Mentat!

Because of course the VW Dune has blue spice eyes!

Shai Hulud! You’ve just described my beloved old Saab Ornithopter (otherwise known as the 900 turbo)! But then, Sting’s played in heavy rotation in each and every Ornithopter I’ve ever owned. But that Saab...it was truly fit for a Kwisatz Haderach!

I’m not ordinarily given towards being a vulgarian...but this article’s lead GIF is Bond as fuck and I love it!!!!

Ah, to hell with New Mexico...they brought that shit on themselves for eight years. This go around with Johnson, let’s just be happy that he’s gonna siphon a whole lot more votes from Trump, than he’ll snatch away from Hillary.

Just gotta say that it’s patently absurd that Obama’s Harvard Law School transcripts should even be questioned, by anyone, EVER. If I recall correctly, Obama was on ‘Harvard Law Review’. That, in of itself, speaks to the fact that Obama was among the best of the best of his class. ‘Harvard Law Review’ is no joke and…

Well, this dates me...but I’m fairly certain that my first big news recollection was the Watergate scandal/Nixon’s impeachment and resignation, circa 1974, on Spanish television news no less. The fall of Saigon, in 1975 comes in at a close second.

I’m a Saab fanatic and will be ‘til the day I die. Yet, I can’t help thinking there’s a metaphor here, with that wheel and tire flying off that 9-3SS, akin to the fate of Saab after they stopped producing hatchbacks.

Whether any of this about Michael Jackson is true or not...I’ve just gotta ask...is the Gawker group of websites simply suicidal??? Is there some financial benefit to such suicidal action???

Wow, never knew a TARDIS could look like a vagina until now!

I’m a smoker and saw it instantly. Didn’t even take me a second to process. So, I think ya might be on to something there.

I’m wondering how anyone cannot see the cigar???!!! Even before I clicked on this article (and it’s totally clickbait btw), I saw the cigar in the sidebar thumbnail and thought ‘Optical illusion? What optical illusion?’, as I thought ‘Huh, a cigarette/cigar stuck in a wall. What’s that about?’.

It is a pretty fantastic feature, isn’t it? Get yourself a used Saab 9-3 hatch, 9-3 sportcombi or 9-5 wagon and you’ll get more trunk space than the Tesla Model 3 along with Night Panel goodness!

Your post gave me dreadful flashbacks to selling used MX-6s at a Mazda Dealership in Central Florida during the late ‘90s. Don’t get me wrong, I loved those cars, but man was your description of stepping into one, at about 2PM on a mid-summer’s day in Florida, was spot on!

THIS. A thousand times THIS! When I first saw this Tesla Model 3, I couldn’t help thinking “Man, that’s a Saaby looking affordable electric!”. And then I read this article and all my Saaby affordable Tesla dreams went poof. That car’s design positively screams “I’m a hatch!”. Guess if I ever go Tesla, I’ll have to…
