Laura Bush hooked on "Spice"
Edited on Thu Jun-10-04 01:27 PM by indigobusiness
I just saw the latest "Bush Approved" commercial...Laura's eyes were wayyyy too blue...and they had that 'Spice' haze.

Watch for this and tell me I'm not on to something.

=========

on edit---see "Dune"...to research 'Spice'.

6. 'Spice'
refers to the attitude adjuster that everyone was crazy about in 'Dune'. Gave the eyes an odd hazy blue cast.

5. It happened to the previous Bush first lady too
Edited on Thu Jun-10-04 01:31 PM by Tummler
Barbara Bush gradually turned into one of those enormous, slug-like monstrosities depicted in Lynch's Dune.

On edit: I'm referring to the Guild pilots (or whatever they were called), not the sandworms. The closest thing to a sandworm in the Bush* admin is Dick Cheney, but only because they both look like a penis.

10. More on Guild navigators
I'm hardly an expert on Dune, so I had to research the proper terminology:

Guild navigators are human, at the beginning; but their constant exposure to high levels of spice mutates them. Since melange is addictive, with death the unavoidable consequence of withdrawal, navigators make a one-way trip into their profession, spending their whole lives in a mobile tank in which they are constantly immersed in a cloud of spice.

All I remember are the freakish, bloated things in the vats of orange liquid from the Lynch movie! :puke:

7. Digital artists are working overtime
to make the BFEE look half way presentable. You'll see no gin blossoms or pretzel scars on any George Bush approved Mesh-shage. I'm sure they've done some "evil-him-up-a-bit" work on the Kerry's face too.

11. He who controls the Spice controls the Universe!
Considering that "Spice" (it's real name was melange) was possibly an allegory for oil in the Dune series, your observation is very accurate.
Accurate is the wrong word, actually...

25. Would her wearing blue contacts shock anyone?
These people are into industrial-strength makeup--unfortunately, so far they haven't figured out how to keep him from looking like a dumbass or her like the Joker, but they're trying.

27. It makes perfect sense now...
The * family are Harkonnens, and * is some kind of freeper neocon "kwisatz haderach".

Sharpen up your "gom Jabbars", I say it's time to pull some Harkonnen "Heart Plugs" !!!
