You know you're a Dune fanatic when...

[Dunenewt]

...you wonder what foods would taste like, if you added some cinnamon to them.

Yes I know this topic's been done before, but not for a while, and I thought it would be fun to do again, especially for the newer members who weren't involved in the last ones.

[Emperor Harkonnen]

Many things taste great with cinnamon. Try it in cereals for example :)

...you drink less water, in order to not be waterfat

...you say the lithany against fear, when you are afraid

[gunner154]

... you look at a large number of very small insects gather together and wonder if a sandworm would grow out of it.

... you come up behind your friend with a needle next to his/her neck to find out if he/she is really human. Maybe squeeze his/her ear too, for good effect.

[Dunenewt]

...you buy an alcoholic drink, just because its called 'L'eau de vie' (Water of life).

[gunner154]

... you go into boutiques and department stores looking for stillsuits.

... you see an earthworm burrowing about in the soil and shout "Wormsign!"

[Dunenewt]

...you put earthworms in the tank with your newts, and watch the Phibians win.

[Emperor Harkonnen]

...your favorite painting is Thatched Cottages at Cordeville by Van Gogh

[Dunenewt]

...you drink a lot of cranberry juice, in the hope it will stain your lips.

[gunner154]

...you drink a lot of cranberry juice, in the hope it will stain your lips.

I remember something very similar to that in the older threads :P

... You call the fish in your aquarium 'Navigators'.

[Dunenewt]

...you spit at your friends' feet, as a sign of respect.

[Reactor]

...you desintegrate your hamburger for its water instead of eating it.

[gunner154]

This reminds me of Lowzeewee's Dune burger :D

... You believe you can make earthworms halt in your presence.

[Dunenewt]

...you wonder when the Sardaukar will come down to crush House Clinton.

[gunner154]

... you wonder why the Spacing Guild hasn't done anything about nuclear proliferation.

[Emperor Harkonnen]

...you despise computers, and do everything in your power to hinder the development of them, dreading the machine takeover.

[Tatar Khan]

...when you try to create a Dune campaign for every strategy game you ever played.

[Dunenewt]

...you watch Star Wars, and the only word you can think of is "plagarism".

[gunner154]

... you bathe in sand hoping to become the God Emperor of Dune.

[Dunenewt]

...you want blue within blue eyes, no matter how much it hurts.

[Emperor Harkonnen]

...you believe that humans will be able to travel to any location in space in an instant, in just 15.000 years  :P

[Dunenewt]

...you plot your invasion of India.

[MrFlibble]

...when you see people in public transport with earphones on, music pumping out, you think they're addicted to semuta

...you used old umbrellas to construct "maker hooks" and unsuccessfully tried to mount a local bus, thinking it to be a medium-sized sandworm :D

[Dunenewt]

...you try and quote Frank Herbert in your essays, whatever the subject.

[MrFlibble]

I actually did that in a couple of my term papers :) (not including the one where I used the text of Chapterhouse Dune as material for linguostylistic analysis ;))

[Dunenewt]

I tried to fit one in my latest essay, on Globalisation, but not doing too well.  I am mentioning the 'real' spice trade though.
