Sep 1 2009Sandwormy: Dune Scene In LEGO Form
This is a sandworm scene from Dune rendered in LEGO form. I like it, simple but effective. And, not to brag or anything, but I've totally ridden a sandworm to the center of the earth before. It was hot (plus the devil is a real dick), but not as hot as the time I flew a unicorn into the sun. Which, funny story: was hot enough to burn my corn's tail off. He whinnied in pain so I got pissed and punched the sun in the taint for it. And that, my friends, is where night comes from.

Thanks to Coby, who's getting married this weekend. Congratulations -- I'd lend you my unicorn to ride away from the wedding on but now there's nothing to tie the cans to :(

The spice extends life, the spice expands consciousness, the spice is vital to space travel.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell it's a fake because the shadows are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max showed Baja a pair of unicorns in a glade but after Baja touched one the world was plunged into darkness and Max had to defeat Tim Curry by stabbing him in the gut with a severed unicorn horn.

They should also have a figure who has no eyes
But really what I'd like to see is a throne room lego set, like as described in...The God Emperor of Dune I believe it was. Its been a while since I've read the books

Nothing to tie the cans to?!?!?!
Assuming it's a male unicorn... have you seen their dongs?
THEY'RE HUGE.

Only Tremors references? Really? Put some stripes on that bitch, and you got a straight up Sand Worm, a la the 'geuce!
That thing used to scare multiple shits out of me.

Hey, your posts have inspired me! - I love the way you directly get to the point, and then work out- wards. I’ve been trying to do figure out what I want to say about ,that would allow me to do exactly the same thing.

Although I am a fan of Dune. I am definately not a fan of you @ 15, 23 & 24. Please go die.

Sometimes I think GW is wasted when he writes his posts...either that or he ate paint chips when he was little...

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete phoyoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max helped Baja save money by taking a picture of her for her christmas card. Unfortunately, after they were all sent out, someone noticed her nipple was visible.
29. Pat - September 2, 2009 9:58 AM
Did you extract the unicorn semen before you rode to the sun or after?
30. Timbo - September 2, 2009 10:12 AM
Hopefully before bc that intense heat might might it unfertile...

33. Milkman - September 2, 2009 12:58 PM
Not a fan of Lego (KILL HIM!), but this is definitely awesome.
I'd so do an aracus spice worm.
It's like throwing a sausage down a hallway. HIYOOOOOOO!
34. Rainbow Brite - September 2, 2009 2:21 PM
@ 31 I think that was Elaine from Seinfeld, and I love Tremors sadly it's one of my favorite movies. P.S. I have been reading this site for years but I am not much of a post type person, I guess it's never too late to start.
