The last post is the WINNER!

"Herbert was a minor official, notorious for his rigid and limited patterns of thought."

The Way to Eden. Not my favorite episode, but that line stands out.

Winning by saying......
Goodnight RF, wherever you are

Good night Bear.

It's a curse being irresistible but it's the cross I must bear.

I know what you mean.

Some people like Dune. Other people like Reality TV. I can't say that Dune is very deep. It appeals mostly to people with a Christian background, because it proposes a future in which people are dealing with a skewed version of popular religions we have today. That isn't its point, but its part of the world-building that happens. It can be quite a slog to read if you are not Herbert's target audience. The movies, too, will seem very bizarre and cut up.

I was told once, long ago, that if you like Dune, you won't like the Lord of the Rings. And vice versa. I've read all of them and I like all of them.

Sand worms though. Hate those things.

I like Spongebob Squarepants.

I didn't like Lord of the Rings.

I feel like that's something you're not allowed to say.

I also didn't watch any of the Harry Potters, and I have no desire to.

I feel that's something else you're not allowed to say.

Why wouldn't you be allowed to say those things?

I think you're a winner because you did.

Well, and the fact that you posted in the Last Post is the Winner thread...

I'm OK with it and don't think you need my OK or anyone else's to like or dislike whatever you want.

My mother didn't like Star Trek. It took me several years of therapy to finally reconcile with that. Now, I'm OK with it.

I didn't like it, either.

Why am I here?

My mother raised a lot of kids that ended up science fiction fans. A genre she had no interest in. But she didn't discourage her children's interest. Oddly, it was out of the family library that I found my first science fiction books. I think they were my father's. He seemed to have some interest in the genre.

Two of the first television shows I remember as a child were Star Trek and Lost in Space.

Again, everybody has those things they like and those things they don't. It makes for a more interesting world.

I've had to let Ares know quite a few times lately that its okay if he likes a song I don't.

(Mom-mom's picky.)

I'm going to not be here. Big win! Much cheering from the crowd of 150,000. Taking my victory lap.

Good night all.
