New Disorderly Member - I earned my stripes

[Unknown]

I'm one of the select few sporting a permanent ban from Herr Mao Squires, for arguing with his absolutism.

I look forward to e-hanging with all of you, many of you I already know, but will need plenty of time to learn names...

Who? What?

Mao?

Chairman Mao (Mark) Squires

No loss, Chris. He's the all-powerful ruler of the eRobertParker.com forums

I am not familiar with this forum, although I've heard some of the kids chatting about it. I think it's blocked here at my place.

Which "we" are you talking about?

You and Todd French?

I had no idea there was a connection!

 

[Unknown]

Weak.

It's like the Algonquin Round Table around here!

On crystal meth!

I'm not familiar with the Algonquin Rouge Table.

Which one of the Dune book talks about this mythical place?

 

[Chris Coad]

If I recall correctly, it was Dune vs. Abbott & Costello (in England and Japan, Abbott & Costello Go To Arrakis), one of the later books in the franchise. Really, at that point they were just phoning it in.

 

[Joe Dressner]

How many of the books have you read? I'm still only 1/2 way through the first book.

 

[Chris Coad]

I read the first sixteen books in college, when it was all the rage, then breezed through Dune's Hawaiian Vacation for local interest, and when Cute Kitties of Dune came out, I started it, but couldn't get all the way through, although I enjoyed the cute kitty pictures.

Still, it beats Foundation. Psychohistory, my fat white ass.

Which one was your favourite?

One thing I've notices since getting Brain Cancer is that I've started using alternative British spellings.
