This may be ancient but it became quite relevant for me when I met an old (very old) acquaintance of mine and we started rambling about our musical tastes in our youth :wink:

I don’t get it :frowning:

Haven’t seen the movie, but I read the book recently. In that, Paul sees potential futures, and lots of them have the Fremen basically turn into space Nazis making war on the rest of the galaxy. He says to himself several times that he must avoid that future, and several times, after he does something, he notices that he made it more likely. The book makes it moderately clear that, by the time this happens, the Fremen are already on that path, and he might well inspire them further along it by dying as much as by living. But it does seem odd that he really wants these people to become his warriors, and leads them in war, but then has concerns about them starting wars.

The original image is from a Frog and Toad story in which Toad bakes cookies so good that he and Frog can’t stop eating them, even while they discuss how they should stop eating. So it’s a lot like Paul’s “We should stop jihading” while leading another act of jihad.

Ahem, I understood that reference…

Also what a way to summarize one of the greatest movies ever made…

Been a helluva month here. Currently have the Mossberg Nightstick 12ga , VR80 semi-auto 12ga, and M1A Scout in walnut on order. Mossberg and VR80 should be in shortly; M1A could be another 12 months! Gonna need a bigger safe, I think…

That Springfield is pretty!

What stock did you get?

I predict you will want a bigger magazine for the VR80 immediately. After emptying a Benelli M4 my instinct was “How big would a 30-round 12-bore magazine be anyway?”

The walnut - I’m on a classic kick lately, love the look of the wood. Already have a Burris scout scope and mount for it too!

Yup, already have my eye on the 9 round and they make a (gulp) 19 rounder. Gonna have to finagle my LE credentials to purchase them though; semi-auto shotguns are limited to 5 rounds in Jersey.

Also, jealous - I’ve always wanted the Benelli M4 but it’s crazy expensive!

Oh it wasn’t mine, although I’ve wanted one for years.

Love to see the size of the 19-rounder. Keeps clipping your knee when you move while aiming.

Good man! I’ll go out of my way for walnut if I have the chance.
