anybody remember that dune parody made by some upper midwest internet dorks in like 2002 or something? the one with the dune themed “africa” cover? i can’t find it and it’s killing me dead.
It is hell indeed, to remember something from far in the past yet not be able to remember it well enough to find it. I wish I could help you, I know the feeling.

Back when I was a kid (so, y’know, Paleolithic days), I remember a skit on some kids show where they sang “America the Beautiful” and at the “sea to shining sea” part, a person dressed as the letter C walked on stage, followed by someone dressed as a sparkly letter C. I have yet to come across a single person who even remembers this existing, let alone who can tell me what it’s from.
I had something like that happen, and it drove me nuts, and now I can’t even remember what it was. How’s that for a brain-o? Your memory really starts to go in your 60s, and something else I don’t remember.

The only Dune parody I remember is the 1984 National Lampoon novel, Doon.
Which remakes the whole novel as a cooking parody. I found it funnier than the Lord of the Rings parody, Bored of the Rings
This is probably not what you are looking for, but you never know. Good luck!
