Hey Birom, Hye Hippo!!
Hey Birom, Hye Hippo!!
Eat it, suckas!
Can someone see if my fanfic is still there? I forgot to save anything Bubba said.
Though if truth be told, my favorite was when I called DN the "Land of Milk and Money!"
And I'm sorry to any Jews or Catholics that Bubba made fun of. Though I'm sure he meant every word he said about the New Agers, and Anthony. I hope anyone who was offended knows I didn't mean those dumb things I/Bubba said.
Sloey? I love you.

You mean this?:Bubba wrote:Can someone see if my fanfic is still there? I forgot to save anything Bubba said.
Need anything else?Bubs wrote:Leti II reclaned in his big car and looked at the thronged masses around him. "Silly humans," the worm thougth to himself. "They believe me when I tell them I am the one turd God. But only I know that I lie, and thus I am a tool of the Deciever." That last part Leto only thought, because moneo was there and he didnt want him to hear it.
"Shall we visit Hwi at the marriage-place, my Lord, or would you like to go and eat some dirt?" asked Moneo in his gay-like high voice. Leto was wishing htat he had re-made Moeno like The Duncan, because he could have the Tilaxu fix that annoying voice.
"No Moneo, said Leto. Now that we have visited this planet, Planet Calvary, I would like to speak to the people and tell tehm some Good News." "Can you pull this car over at the temple?" said Leto.
But of course sir. "Let me speak to the driver."
The big fat car that was used to haul around Leto's big self pulled into a parking lot. Leto II did not have to pay the hourly rate in spice essence, because he was believed to be the Lord. Actually the car could park underground, so it didnt even matter at all.
When Leto went upstairs to the main temple of planet Calvary, the worshippers thronged around him. He said "I have good news to share! I am the one true God.!!!" Tehe worshippers believed everything that he said. "Once I was a man, then I did a lot of spice (drugs) and then I became as a God, and you worshpped me from afar, nad now I am here!"
"YES! Yelled the worshippers. Some of htem were falling down, but some were not shoutting. This angered Leto, so he looked crossly at them and they left. Leto could not hear them because super-hearing was not one of his abilities, but they said "This tool of teh Beast does not look like God. I spit on him. I will go to Heaven fo sure now!!!!!!" And they left.
Wehn the audience was over Mohiam walked up to Leto and said "You know that you are not the One True God, don't you? If anyone has good news, it is I." Leto was angered by this too, so he stopped walking forward. "what the heck are you dong on Planet Calvary, anyway?" said Leto. "I have come to confront you, Lord Leto. YOu are the tool of Satan and you will make everyone who believes i you go to Aitch - E - Double-Toothpicks. Yes, that spells HELL! I cant let that happen because I know who God really is."
"Enough! MOneo remove this drug addled whore from my presence" Leto screamed.
"OK. Come here whore." Money grabbed her and put her in irons. He shoved somehting in her mouth to keep her from using that voice too. "I hate her voice and his too," Leto thought. He sounds gay and she is a typical shrew whore.
Once she was in jail, Leto went to see Hwi. "Hello Hwi" said Leto to Hwi. "I have travelled long to see you. If I had feet, I would allow you to annoint them for me with rose waters. I also dont like water now."
"I know," Hwi replied.
"But you may serve me any way, for you are my wife and that is yoru duty. I desire dirt to feed upon and grow strong."
"Whatever my Lord wishes," Hwi said very, very, very subserviently.
"Wife," Leto said. "I have had some problems in town. It seems taht not all hte humans there think that I am the one true God. Did I not deliver a list of Ten Commandments (they were fake) for them to live by? Have I not iposed the Piece of Leto upon them so that they are now happy because ther wars are finally, finally over? It just doesnt make any darn sense!" Just then Leto farted really loud! (LOL)! It was nasty and sounded like a hershey's chocolate suryp bottle when it gets empty. Leto screamed! "OW! That dirt you gave me must have had some water in it! Now my butt burns with lots of pain! I will fix you!"
"Hwi shiverred in fear. "Not the punishment again!" Just then the floor broke and Leto and Hwi died. They landed on top of Moneo and Mohiam. Everyone died, but Mohiam went to heaven only. Everyone else went to HELL!

That's it. Thanks, Nekhrun. That one I was proud of.
You know, I think most of Bubba's posts were responsive, so I'm not sure any others will make sense out of context. Maybe the one where I told Hyppo that I didn't want to witness to her until she had a husband who would listen?
Honestly, Byron has that place locked down tight. I'm not even sure what is left.

He deleted a post where I asked why Bubba was banned. I think I vaguely remember something in the rules about not discussing bannings now, so there you go.
Oh well, at least they've still got Antony and his thinly veiled antisemitism, and the sexist gay-hater Fantomas. What a great bunch of people the site has attracted, I can't believe the blatant prejudice people are spewing on that site and not getting banned for it.

Kudos on a job well... trolled Personally, I would have laid off the mispelling more. When I realized just how many words in the English language Bubba butchered and how badly he butchered them, I figured out he was just trying to cause trouble, since nobody (please god, nobody) can be that stupid.
The key is a nice balance, IMO. Like Ultra Spice But hey, Bubba seemed to have worked well enough. Got a fair amount of people hooked

It's...bazaar over there. My very first post was deleted, but since then I've
been left alone, and that was with calling BoardAdmin (Byron?) out for
suggesting that the (non) issue of Paul's birth world as somehow fitting in with
FH's theme of plans within plans within plans. Which is of course ludicrous.

I admit, reading the threads with Bubba is one thing I would likely regret about avoiding DN. But that's not nearly enough to get me to go back.

OK, I did save a few of Bubba's comments from PM's. Here is what I said about immigration. Not illegal immigration mind you, but immigration:
And when Sole Man got mad at him:The sad fact is that immigrants take food out of the mouths of American babies and nursing mothers. How is someone supposed to work if some ilegal immigrant from Los Salvador will do their job ofr much less money and no benefits. They cannot all be fruity pickers, can then? No! And they come here and dillute our culture and our way of life too. Im ean, they should be entitled to thier own way of life, but not here, not on my watch!
I was going to remind Sole Man to get his ass over to Jacurutu the day I was banned again. Too bad I didn't get to do that.Put aside your anger, Sole Man. No matter what you say, I love you. I love you, Sole Man. I love you because Jesus told me to love you, and he loves you too.

Tell Hyppo to blow her moral outrage out her ass. I may have been trolling (though for a different purpose than she supposes; what the hell do I care who goes to DN and joins?), but I already received my punishment for doing it. I was banned. My punishment has been carried out. End of story.

I deleted some of your posts because they were derailing the topic and not focusing on the issues asked, and instead going after the authors or their material. That's why. ~ BM

Omphalos wanted me to jion over at Jacrutu, or Arrakeen, or some other place, but I said I wouldn't leave this board! He must've figurerd he could annoy me enough o get me to say something that would get me banned to get me to go over to the other board. Makes perfect sense!
Why am I the central figure here? Becuase I am that self-obbessed!

Wonder what Hyppo means by a non-sequitor? So much for her claming for be a proof-reader, no wonder she can't find any work. The only times people in her neighbourhood can see any kind of eclipse is when Hyppo bends over.

I was just on the phone with Teg and he nearly hung up on me.
This is a first. Usually it's me threatening to hang up on him.
All I was doing was relating my vision...
Of Green Cow going out into her yard butt-nekkid to commune with Mother Goddess and Sister Moon and perform a fertility ritual, in an environmentally sound and responsible way, her never ever trimmed bush and trees glistening wetly in the moonlight (dew and slugs, nothing else), her many oft-abused cats (except the one that bit it last year, choking on a hairball...of her pershwanky hair) with their rough dry tongues ministering to her..."needs".
And Mother Goddess looked down in disgust upon the scene, but finally took pity and said, "Silly Cow, give it up. You are and will remain as barren as Sister Moon here's surface—cold, airless, dead. Your womb is like a party you've thrown and no one came."
That's not really so bad, is it?

The thread on House Atreides is good for a chuckle. Why does she keep saying 'Omphalucy?'.
I liked Hyppo's idea of doing something other than bitching about Arrakeen, like sitting on her fat arse in front of the TV watching the Olympics. Makes a huge chage from sitting on her fat arse in front of a computer screen.

I never really got the "Omphalucy" thing, either. Was she saying she's "Ompharicky", then?
I guess that's the best she can come up with? That or it just tickles her special funny place so much she can't stop using it.
Tickling her special funny place...now there's a sick-making thought fer ya, what?

God, Byron is such a joke now.
OK, I'll read Paul of Dune and see for myself, but I just can't imagine that they improved that much over the few months between when they finished Sadworms and started writing it, especially considering they wrote the thing exactly the same way they've written all the others.

I have to limit how often I go look, I've actually started to get shakes when I read his answers, the guy is so deluded and confused it's actually deeply disturbing. He just doesn't understand that Relativity ALLOWS FTL. It just doesn't allow accelerating to FTL. I really doubt anyone could explain it to him in a way that he'd understand. Foldspace (whether explained as hyperdrive or wormhole) makes infinitly more sense than rockets that go faster than light.Freakzilla wrote:Several times today I've started to reply to that thread, but I figure if I have to explain to Byron what striking random particles at FTL speeds has to do with space travel I may as well just hit myself in the head with a hammer.A Thing of Eternity wrote:You said it.

Perhaps there was partial counteraction. Perhaps there is a small delay in jumping to lightspeed and the brief sensation of G-forces. This is a lame argument. There are so many future possibilities that your argument falls apart.

"No Aliens or FTL in the Duniverse!"
Wasn't there something, too, about drawing a parallel between the sound barrier and the "light barrier"? (Yes, movement through a the fabric of spacetime itself is exactly like movement through a fluid physical medium. ) OK, sure, I'm not a physicist but I have done a bit of reading in this area and think I have a pretty good gasp of the basic concepts. Nothing I've seen from that thread (I have someone feeding me quotes) convinces me that Byron can say the same. "In the future we'll be able to do this and that and the other thing!" is the lame argument, if this and that and the other thing are thought to be physically impossible according to our current understanding of the universe.
I know we don't all exactly agree on this next point, but I prefer to believe that Frank Herbert came up with spacefolding because he knew enough about REAL science to know that FTL as commonly portrayed in pulp scifi is nonsense but he also needed a fast method of transportation for his Imperium and its civilization to be possible. Or maybe he just wanted something different from the crowd. Unless they come forward with notes indicating one way or the other, maybe we'll neve know.
Either way, Kevin and Brian could have handled the history of the era surrounding the Jihad much differently and stayed faithful to what I believe was FH's vision WITHOUT introducing "vroom-vroom"...simply by passing on the opportunity to slag off Holtzmann (oh, look, the most famous inventor/theorist of the Duniverse has feet of clay) and to build up the dwarf and have spacefolding be an already established aspect of the civilization.
But they didn't so here we are, with a silly extraneous element (but only one of many, eh ) added to the Duniverse and Frank's grandson making a fool of himself for all the world (that cares) to see.
Lovely. Praise be to Kevin.

At first he was just talking out his ass because he wanted to back up the new authors, now he’s went and found papers by fringe scientists backing up the whole “relativity is wrong” argument. What a goof. I hope this Dominos guy/girl tears him apart.

Fiction writers wisely sidestep the laws of physics by inventing clever ways around those laws. Anyone can just ignorantly proclaim; "Yeah, well my rocket engine can go 10,000 c, so there. I beat up your daddy too!". That takes no skill or effort; it's just lazy. But to actually invent navigator travel, hyperspace jumping, or super dimension displacement, or warp travel, or slipstream travel, or any of the thousands of FTL methods actually requires some work and creative thinking. Most people typically appreciate that kind of effort; it's what makes reading good sci-fi worthwhile

Yep.
Take the Mind-operated ships in Banks' novels, cycling up and down through two flavors of hyperspace. Pure bollocks!
But I buy it, because Banks' is a WRITER, and can juggle the jargon in such a way that it lulls to sleep the nasty little impy thang sitting off on a stool to one side perving the story details flowing by with his X-ray vision (my disbelief ).
Anyway, tell Byron to go look up the Autodynamics crowd, followers of an Argentinian physicist with a thing against Einstein. Now THERE are some real, Grade A prime-cut wingnuts for you. And what's really weird is, I was in the MA program at OSU with the guy who's essentially become the #2 in the movement (the one making a documentary movie called "Einstein Wrong: The Miracle Year"...although it's now two or three years late. )
Oh, hell, here's a link: http://www.einsteinwrong.com/main/
But caveat visor: they really are loons.

And the way Byron went from thse kinds of dumbass statements:Dune Nerd wrote:It seems that KJA has taken over Byron's account again. Every couple of months it doesn't sound like Byron it sounds just like KJA being his typical prick self.
Anyone else ever noticed that?
I am still convinced Byron is an ass hat but sometimes he goes over the top to ultra ass hat.
I'm sure we'll be able to break light speed with a rocket engine, we could use dark matter as fuel and they'll be really super efficient in the future!
To ones like:
Here's a paper explaining that there are some theoretical ways around relativity.
I haven't been over there yet today, but I'm sure he's either quoting fringe scientists or back to making stupid comments like Push-Pulled-and-Skipped [/i]

I don't know that I see that so much as evidence of Byron-virtuel having been possessed by or actively channeling Kevin as maybe someone feeding him the links.
Now...who do we know that is a master of links to silliness all over the Web? arnoloco, perhaps? That would explain why Byron was blowing him.
Thanks, arnoldo. Good point, arnoldo. Should I make it wetter, arnoldo?

If you'd like to see stupidity on a truly colossal scale, check out the Olympics thread on Dunenovels. I mentiond the hushed-up deaths during the construction of the Bird's Nest, and Hyppo and Orangefantamas demanded reputable news links or evidence. Do these cretins live in fucking cocoons? Naturally, I gave them a link to The Times. Imbeciles.

I was about to ask why the 'einsteinwrong' folks didn't have anything substantial on the site to persuade you to pay $ to see the doc, but then i saw someone anonymously commented on it. I've recently gotten into Carl Sagan who LOATHED psuedoscience. if they believed so strongly about it you would've thought they would've argued their case for free. 'wingnuts' seems apprpriate enough..
