Guild - Modified Infinity Symbol?

[SandChigger]

Ahp, true enough.

Oh.

You weren't referring to Taraza's cattle prods, were you?

Tar: "Duncan, didn't Halleck teach you mood's a past tense for cattle vocalizations?"

Duncan ghola: "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

:O

TagDaze! I found your source for the infinity symbol: <i>Dune: House Atreides</i>:

The shining new ship crowded the subterranean canyon.  A fan of decorative dorsal arrays shone from the nearer side.  On the fuselage, a gleaming purple-and-copper Ixian helix interlocked into <b>the larger white analemma of the Spacing Guild, symbolizing infinity inside a rounded convex cartouche</b>.

They mention "the Spacing Guild's analemma sigil of infinity" on the uniforms of three Guild reps in <i>Paul of Dune</i> as well. Sorry, I didn't search the new McDune crap when we were first discussing this.

If you're an FH purist, this will mean nothing, because there's no proof that the two hacks got it from FH's notes. If you don't care about such things and want to gain a few "Oh kewl" points from dim KJA fanboys, go with it.

Thanks, SandChigger. That clears up a whole lot. Yeah, as you can see in this thread I've decided not to include the infinity symbol as I'm an FH purist. KJA, BH and their fanboys can kiss my grits.

Kiss your grits? Good gawd...how old are you? :O

(I hope you know that from reruns. I remember it from REALTIME.)

Looks like you're going all out on this game thang. Kewl.

But, seriously, buy some food and eat once in a while, huh? :D

ROFL!

The phrase "kiss my grits" has been around for many MANY years and is used a LOT in some areas of the USA!

(Just thought I'd mention it...hehe)

No kidding. I remember first hearing it on the sitcom "Alice"...back whenever. (Early/mid-70s?) It was the tall thin red-head friend/coworker of the title character that said it all the time.

Wow...staggering down memory lane....

Do You know where que Spacing Guild came from? I don't remember having see it in Frank Herbert's books. Thanks!
