During the past year I have tried to make love to you 365 times.
I have succeeded 36 times, which is an average of once every 10 days.
The following is a list of why I did not succeed more often:
54 times the sheets were clean
17 times it was too late
49 times you were tired
20 times it was too hot
15 times you pretended to be asleep
22 times you had a headache
17 times you were afraid of waking the baby
16 times you said you were too sore
12 times it was the wrong time of the month
19 times you had to get up early
9 times you weren't in the mood
7 times you were sunburned
5 times you didn't want to mess your new hair do
3 times you said the neighbors would hear us
9 times you said your mother would hear us
Of the 36 times I did succeed, the activity was not satisfactory
because 6 times you laid there, 8 times you reminded me
there's a crack in the ceiling, 4 times you told me to hurry up and
get it over with, 7 times I had to wake you and tell you it was
over, and one time I was afraid I hurt you because I felt you move.
Two months until the Mine Field Reunion 2022. It's time to come up with strategies to ensure that at least three posters return and the bored remains open. I'm thinking of some kind of "Mine Field Lottery" where you can only win by posting. This will require me sending the winner a prize of ONE MILLION BITCOINS so please all active posters send me one hundred thousand bitcoins each thank you.
Okay, that's it. No more bullshit. Too many haven't posted in months if not years. I've let it slide. I've let them get away with it like a coward. Because I didn't want to bother them. WELL NO MORE. They're all coming back. Every last one of them. By April 1st 2023. It's happening. I won't allow any other result.
A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct. This every sister of the Bene Gesserit knows. To begin your study of the life of Muad’Dib, then, take care that you first place him in his time: born in the 57th year of the Padishah Emperor, Shaddam IV. And take the most special care that you locate Muad’Dib in his place: the planet Arrakis. Do not be deceived by the fact that he was born on Caladan and lived his first fifteen years there. Arrakis, the planet known as Dune, is forever his place.
– from “Manual of Muad’Dib” by the Princess Irulan
Only the first line of that applies to this post, really. I am bumping this thread but not contacting missing members yet. We need a plan and it needs to be foolproof. The most delicate care must be taken. For this could be the Mine Field's last gleaming.
