Reading Dune in the back a Disel station

  • Reading Dune in the back a Disel station wagon driving through Kansas on a Summer road trip to visit my Grandmother in Lincoln, Nebraska. I am one with this book.
  • I do appreciate a good sci-fi, but I prefer not to be living in one. Who knew that a post apocalyptic future could Be so taxing. I mean, where do I get the food, a grocery store?
  • My question was soon answered however, when my doorbell rang. I hastened to open it and was almost immediately knocked over by a man with a half singed head, staggering pass me.
  • "My God, Man," I shouted, while searching around for a glass of cold water, "who did this to you?" He was unable to speak; his entire body looked like a campfire had been put out
  • with it. I held the glass to his charred lips, but he could not drink. Suddenly he shuddered and leapt up in a ball of smoke. "I have been re born as- CHARCOAL MAN!" I gasped and
  • looked up. There was a puff of smoke. From within emerged a new man, full of muscles- his flesh made completely out of charcoal. "This is awesome!" I shouted. The CHARCOAL MAN ran
  • Out of the night club and boarded the 147 bus. I loaned him the bus fare. The driver noticed his physique and one passenger fainted. The charcoal man exited at the corner of Ash St
  • , where he met up with his red hot girlfriend, Amber--who hadn't seen him before in his metamorphosed state. "You're so. . ." Amber was shocked. "Ripped?" Charcoal Man interjected
  • Snidely while rolling the ends of his mustache. Amber hadn%u2019t noticed Charcoal Man standing beside her until he spoke so reacted badly. She had already been hit with the metamo
  • phosis so it hardly mattered anyway. This really burned the Charcoal Man and he began smoking because of it. Years latter the Marlboro Man & Joe Camel spoke at his funeral. Sad.

    Nice embering to the story, Dr. G.

    Not to rake you over the coals Dr G, but I think your pilot light is burning too close to the Sterno.

    Are you implying that Dr. Goose is cooked? Or just baked?
