Oh, my - I just discovered a copy of the Missionaria Protectiva!
Some weird stuff in there, for sure, but I am mostly intrigued at these verses that show up all over the place in the handwritten copy I have:


We are the Bene Gesserit,
we love to drink our beer.
We drink and drink and drink and drink
and throw up in our ears.

The beer-rage is quite funny,
and gets us in the mood,
to go around to planets
and spread our funny words.

But you had better watch yourself,
you who'd mock our ways,
we'll make you drink the water of life
and take the gom jabbar!

There's nothing quite as funny
while hepped up on the brew
as with the force of our Voice
the pain box kills you rubes.


I have to admit, I didn't see that coming.

1. Isn't "Missionaria Protectiva" latin for "condom"?

2. I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total WTFedness.
I will face my fear like a little girl staring at her Jonas brothers poster.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me like an eggnog latte.
And when it has gone past I will turn on my Jonas brothers glow globe.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain. I and that spreading blotch in my shorts.

3. If not for my Jonas Brothers poster, I would spend my days in a fetal position, consumed by fear.
But they give me courage to go forward!

Sandworm ho!

Beer is the mind-killer.

I will face my beer like a little girl staring at her Jonas Brothers poster.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me like an quad, venti, non-fat latte.
And when it has gone past, I will log into DU.
Where the beer has gone there will be blathering.
Only the pricey wine will remain. Wine and my 4-page apology for the postings I made while drunk.

(Any resemblence to actual DU posters is purely coincidental).

7. My one complaint:
That's too long to fit into a sigline.

Not for me, of course. I never PUI.

13. Thank you! In the realm of intellectually obscure-yet- subtly-fucking-hilarious threads
in a kind of beyond-normal-mortal-comprehension style, I do consider myself the grand champion. And completely untouchable by anyone else.

11. To his credit, even though he giggled like a Japanese junior high girl when he found out,
at least he laughingly skipped off to Hot Topic to exercise his new found power.

24. The emo-Sardaukar are susceptible to the Voice
I like to make them dress in thrift-store Up With People costumes.

16. Please, that is his name when he walks amongst DU.
Here, we use the name given to him by Sietch Lounge: Geddy Lee Latte.

18. We call her, "Pusul."
Which means, "the collection of Rush 8-track tapes at the base of the pillar."

22. Ahhh, Triumph. Canada's sorry attempt to offer a Canadian version of Rush.
Oh, wait a minute? :wtf:

23. Seriously!
Why didn't the Naib of Sietch Canada simply say, "Sorry, we already have a power trio." Then they could have fought Rush for the position. (Of course, Neil Peart would have bloodied his crysknife and claimed their water forthwith.)

28. Rick Emmet would have declared Kanly on Lifeson, delaying Peart's entrance into the fight
so Lifeson would end up with Emmet's water.

27. I propose a new rule:
Rabrrrrrr must come up with a Dune-related thread at least once every three months. It's been too long since the last one:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=7593829
(Assuming that was the last one. Maybe I missed some.)

29. I like that rule. I shall try to remember.
And thanks for posting that thread. I'd forgotten about!

"Looks like Orson Welles in sandy overalls" has had me laughing for the last half-hour.

30. The coffee lover's mantra
"It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java the thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion."
