          He got a flat tire once in Duncan, Idaho. It was the early 60’s so things got freaky fast when he was picked up by a colorfully painted bus . . .

          Let’s just say the memories will never die.

      Frank Herbert is what happens when a genius writer takes too much shrooms while studying dunes. Like that is literally what happened.

        I also like to kidnap my entire family in my used hearse then do a shitload of amphetamines in the Mexican desert immediately after completing a formal education in the newly developed science of ecology that ended with learning about the inevitability of man made climate change continuing to accelerate the greatest and final planetary mass extinction event, the holocene era

        Yeah I feel that shit in my soul bro, for sure

        Whomst amongst us hasn’t done a Herbert once or twice

        Calling him a genius writer is probably being a bit too generous, what with all the beefswellings and all that
