The Ghost of Coast

Fascinating...

2007-06-18T01:34:00.000-04:00

So I'm sitting here listening to Art Bell talk to James Gilliland. You know James, he's the guy with the ranch where you're practically guaranteed to see at least one UFO. And I'm remembering the numerous times Noory has said he plans on going there, and the even more numerous times he's said he has "...always been fascinated with UFOs. I was a member of MUFON when I was a kid."

Okay, that's cool. So hey Big Daddy, where ya goin' on your vacation this summer? What's that? A cruise ship, ya say?!! . How nice. Well that's cool, you'll finally get a chance to be on a boat that is actually moving on the water. I think up until now the only time you've been on a seafaring craft was the docked and haunted Queen Mary, right? Well good for you! After all those years in the Navy, pushing pencils in a cubicle at Ft. Ben in the heart of the midwest, it's about time you got out on the ocean. Have a ball!! Do the macarana!! Try the veal!!

Sheesh. Ya big hoser, you couldn't even get a cruise that had paranormal stuff - you know, past guest Chris Moon offers cruise packages where you can interact with one of those Frank's Boxes you wanted to get your hands on so badly...

Just sayin'. ( I'm actually surprised he's going on a cruise being the hypochondriac he is - you'd think he'd be all freaked out about getting e-coli or one of those cruise ship viruses that happen all of the time.)

But enough of my busting his balls about that, my point is obviously that Numb Nuts igNoory should be taking every vacation opportunity to go visit some of these places he claims to find so fascinating, don't y'all think?

He's known about Gilliland's Ranch for at least 4 years, and has an open invitation to go, so why hasn't he yet? Hell, he doesn't even have to go for a long time - just a couple days. One night, even. So what's the hold up, George??? Georgie Porgie, puddin' and lies. Ian Punnett would have been there in a heartbeat if he were in your shoes, having said what all you've said. When Punnett is fascinated with something, he's not yanking our chains. He's not saying it because "I'm fascinated with__________" is one of 7 complete phrases in his lexicon.

If you're really so goddamed fascinated you would have found time - made time- long, long ago. And don't give us that crap about you're waiting to "do a remote" from there. That's BULLSHIT!!! If you're truly fascinated you would have gone on your own and just given us a verbal report of what you saw after the fact - same way your guests do. What difference would it make if you're broadcasting live when you see a UFO? We can't see it - HEY! IT'S RADIO!!! --ya jackass.

And everything I've said about the Gilliland Ranch applies to every single other place or thing you've claimed to be fascinated with - JUST GO DO IT!! GET OFF YOUR ASS AND GO FUCKING DO SOMETHING!! ANYTHING!!! PLEASE!!! . You want to seem credible? Do something. On your own. No remote bullshit, no Tommy Danheiser holding your hand. No waiting for Premiere to foot the bill. YOU do it, George. YOU.

There is no damned good excuse after 4 years. So what's the deal, ya big phony? What's the hold up? Inquiring minds want to know.

GOD!! I am so sick of all the lies.

Noory Does a Tribute to Himself Tonight

2007-06-07T21:08:00.000-04:00

Way-huh-huh-ellll.... not exactly a tribute, per say. But tonight's Coast show will focus entirely on the book George Noory co-wrote, called Worker in the Light. Which, by the way, you can read all sorts of fun things about here. Besides the reviews, there are a lot of interesting comments in the discussion forums at the bottom of the page. One astute fellow even delves into the whole "charity" thing that Noory pulled when first hawing the book.

For the moment, I'm just here to give y'all a heads up on the show - you should listen - especially you, Texassteel. Tonight's show will be chock-a-block with falsehoods and comedic ego stroking - I PREDICT!! Sure, sure, I hear ya - he is the most insufferable when he's talking about himself, and tonight he'll be puffed up like a blow fish. ("Hmmm. Tasty fish. Tasty fish. Tasty fish. Poison fish!!!") But tonight, if you listen closely and read between the lines, I'll bet that Noory will hand you all kinds of ammunition for future diatribes against him on a silver platter.

He's gonna hang himself worse than that Michael Hutchins from INXS. Go out while stroking himself. So grab a notebook and pen, people - you may draw different and better conclusions that I will, and I want to hear them all!

Meanwhile, Agent K graciously turned me onto this swell "Official" George Noory Sucks Thread , submitted for your approval. Shoot, Aint Dixie is so far behind the times, y'all have probably been aware of this for ages. But just in case, there it is for ya!

Say, did any of you hear last night's postulation, where Noory starts telling guest Robert Conaway that he thinks Earth is a prison planet for all of the Universe's most fucked up souls (of course, he didn't say "fucked up", but... you know...) however he, and some of the other few "good souls" on this planet came from a "different batch" - his words - a different batch of good souls. Did ya? Did ya hear it?!?! (And then there's this partial quote I jotted down, "Every ancient civilization --The Mayas, The Incans, The Buddhists...." it was around 2:48am EST.)

Lord. If this planet is for all the evil, twisted, fucked up, ignorant, grotesque, wicked entities from across the Galaxies, then they had you in mind first, George Noory. If that is true, then "It's a George Noory World, We're Just Living in It" would be a true statement.

++++++
One more quickie, while I'm here. Has anyone noticed how little promotion Ian's show gets from the week day Coast to Coast, and on the website and all? WTF is that about? (Noory's ego, duh.) But really -look at the website. The box to "advertise" Ian's show, the one to click on to get his past show lists and all - it's DINKY!!!!! It's tinier than anything else on the page. Noory's book, and announcements about that fucking retarded t.v. show get way bigger "ads" than Ian does, and his show is part of the Coast to Coast family of shows! What the fuck is up with that?

You know Noory isn't paying for his ads for his extracurricular endeavors, and Coast to Coast Live isn't anybody's extracurricular endeavor. That's part of the revenue generating Coast to Coast family, and the show is growing by leaps and bounds as far as garnering affiliates - even without anyone on the regular Coast staff getting behind it. So why treat it like a red-headed stepchild? It's like the want it to fail.

Hell, when Ian calls in on Friday night shows to do his little promo spot for his show, George will first talk all over Ian with utter bullshit, use up half of the allotted time, then shove Ian off telling him his time is up. He's a very insecure little man with a very big ego, I tell you what.

Nearing The Truth

2007-05-18T04:42:00.000-04:00

Ever since shortly before PETA Pal, Pamela Anderson's visit to Noory's studio, we've been noticing a gradual evolution toward The Real Story of Noory and his pets. I believe I mentioned that about a week before her visit with George, he announced that he had finally moved his puppy in St. Louis from a boarding kennel (where it had resided for God knows how long...) to a foster home with real people there to care for and play with it.

Furthermore, little by little, he's beginning to skew his nightly pet owner anecdotes toward his actual role in "his" dog Casey's life. Fairly recently I did hear him slip up and say that he had four dogs -- and he named three of them -- without qualifying that all he really does is provide free dog food for them.

And I should add that we don't even know for sure if he does that, but that is the implication.

At any rate, in tonight's episode he said "I take care of a couple {dogs}". That's still teetering on the edge, but yes, I guess to some degree he does "take care" of them. Partially. By supplying dog food and making sure there is someone around to give it to him while he is 1800+ miles away, 9+ months out of the year.

On May 8th, 2007, he said, "...your pet, your dog, the critter that you adore--that's what my dog Casey is, I think she even remembers me when I come home now! Maybe it's because I feed her Purina One. Typical."

Okay, he admits he's not around much, that's a step in the right direction. But what the fuck makes him qualified to say what is or isn't typical behavior?

And then, appropos of nothing: how many times do we have to hear him say "circle your calendars" before he realizes that makes no sense?

Dale! I need a photoshop of a calendar with a big circle spraypainted around it, stat!!

Give 'im Enough Rope... .... Hell, Just Give 'im A Shoestring!

2007-05-18T04:37:00.000-04:00

Heh heh. I hear George Noory is on the rampage again, threatening to sue people who say bad things about him on internet message boards for libel.

I don't think I need to restate that many of the things I post about him here are my opinions and conjectures, but the vast majority of it is just citing stupid shit that comes out of his own mouth that, while not technically libel, are often blatant falsehoods.

Or just plain stupid. Like the below, straight from the Whore'ses Mouth.

from Coast to Coast, May 17, 2007, during the first hour of the show while discussing gas prices with guest Tim Hamilton:

George Noory said, "Everywhere I go I see people pumping gas...." "....women! Truck drivers!! ...."

Really? Everywhere you go? Wow! Just like you always see the time 11:11 wherever you go? Like everytime you're in the airport and you look at a clock, it's always 11:11?? "....no matter what time it is!! ....Well, not always" (Yeah, you said it.)

I'm just playin' witcha, Georgie. I knew that you meant at all the gas stations you go to or happen to pass by. And that, "my man", that really is worth taking note of!!! Ten, twenty years ago, you almost never saw people pumping gas at gas stations!!

from Coast to Coast, May 16, 2007, 1st 5 minutes of the show:

While reading a news piece about global warming Mr. Noory said, "....shows clear signs that melting had occurred in multiple distinct regions far inland and at high latitudes and evalations" - then he paused for a tenth of a second, softly blurted out, "NO!", as if he were trying to sort out whether or not he had mispoken, and then "corrected himself" by quickly and confidently saying once again, "evalations ....where the melt had been considered un-likely."

For those of you reading who are unable to think on any wavelength other than George Noorys, that should have been elevations. . To be fair to my readers, (except you, George. And why are you here, anyway? Oh right, you're doing "research". ) I don't think any of you really think on his wavelength - you know I love you & wouldn't insult you like that.

What do you think folks? Is he dyslexic? Or just stupid? Or both? If he were dyslexic, it would help to explain a lot of other things about him. A lot of people from his era -- when dyslexia went fairly unrecognized, the dyslexic kids were either placed in remedial classes, or the more devious ones managed to muddle through by faking being able to read. They'd just listen to what others did and try to mimic it well enough to convince their teachers they comprehended the material well enough to get by.

Noory has said more than once that he "speed reads", uses the "Evelyn Wood speed reading technique", and is able to just "pick out the meat of a book" and only read that. Which begs the question, "If he hasn't read the entire book, word for word, how does he know what the actual meat is?"

An additional speculation would be to wonder if he is just using the claim of being able to "speed read" in order to cover up for the fact that he is either A) dyslexic, or B) simply not smart enough to understand English grammar, phonetics and vocabulary.

The latter is something of a chicken and egg quandry: Did his lack of ability to read well result in him being ignorant, or did a naturally low IQ result in his inability to read and comprehend things? Or maybe he's actually a genius, but was always too cocky to feel like he needed to bother with learning to read.

The former might also add fuel to his habit of making things up and saying outlandishly stupid things. Since he's incapable of comprehending printed information, he has to rely on guessing about words, meanings of phrases and entire concepts, saying them boldy out loud as if they're right and true, and letting the chips fall where they may. Either being corrected by a guest or caller, or having them graciously overlook his stupid comments. And sometimes actually getting it right, as with the proverbial blind pig and his acorn.

Ah well. Random ponderings to one of Life's Great Mysteries: "What The Hell is He Thinking?!?" Regardless of the answer to that, we can rest easily tonight, knowing that we need not fear being sued for libel, as his understanding of the word and the concept goes only as deep as his understanding of other words like "synchronicity", "karma" and "charisma".

Boycott Purina & Report Noory to the SPCA.

2007-04-24T02:43:00.000-04:00

It's 2:46am, Tuesday, April 24. A few minutes ago we heard the latest installment in George Noory's Dog Soap Opera, brought to you by Purina One. Who I refuse to support since they use a completely irresponsible pet owner to promote their product.

By now we all know Noory claims to be an animal lover, even though he knows virtually nothing about them. And he thought it was funny when he encouraged people to kick their cats off of their beds. He is a sick, sick bastard.

We also know he's a pathological liar, so it's possible that none of the ridiculous shit he comes up with during his Purina One spots is true. I hope to God this little yellow lab, Casey, never existed. He did call Casey a "little puppy" tonight, then later said something about it not being much of a puppy anymore, but by now this dog should be pretty damn big.

Low these many months of worrying about this poor little dog in Noory's completely incapable care, we assumed this little dog was kept in Noory's home - possibly in a cage much of the time from the way Noory talked - and somebody came by a couple times a day to feed, walk and play with the dog.

Tonight, however, he disclosed that the entire time he's had this dog -- in St. Louis, where he spends a total of what? 3 THREE months a year? -- the dog has been kept in a kennel. Boarded.

People, I'm asking you, Who in the HELL would even consider getting a dog when they KNEW it would have to be kept in a cage 3/4 of the year, presumably FOR THE REST. OF. IT'S. LIFE.?????

People get pets as companion animals, to spend as much time with them as possible. And these three months a year Noory is in St. Louis, he's working, so he's still gone (we assume) at least 8 hours a day. Sure, sure, you could argue that some hunting enthusiasts keep 5, 10, 20, even 30 hunting dogs in kennels outdoors all the time. And that kinda bugs me, too, but those guys are hunters with dogs bred for hunting, and these nimrods spend tons of time giving these dogs a lot of attention and training them. They take good care of them in a way fairly appropriate to the dog's breed, if not within the current "comfort zone" of most coddled housepets. Those hunting dogs are happiest when hunting, or at least being outdoors running, learning and practicing what they've been bred for. With. their. owners.

But Noory's approach in general is just all wrong. The man has no business owning an animal, and whoever sold it to him should be ashamed of themselves. If it isn't already, that dog is going to be a nuerotic mess as an adult.

The only two tiny things we can console ourselves with is that, regardless of it's living conditions, at least it only has to spend 1/4 of it's life in Noory's physical presence. The other consolation is that while it did spend nearly the first year of it's life in a boarding kennel, at least then it was around people who did truly love animals and know how to behave with them. And now, he claims that the dog will "be under someone else's care" while he's gone - which will be really great for poor Casey.

That's presuming that Casey will be living in a home with people who like dogs. Hopefully Casey will soon acclimate itself to the life of a normal housepet, and upon Noory's next return home Casey will realize what a creep Noory is, bite the hand that "feeds" him and be able to return to his "other home" for the rest of his or her life, thus living happily ever after.

Somebody needs to put Noory in a fucking cage. What a creep.

Again With the Dog!!!

2007-03-24T21:12:00.000-04:00

Good evening again, everyone. Before I got rolling on all my NASCAR stuff, I thought I'd warm up by dashing off a quick one about George Noory's more recent dog food commercials. I haven't been listening closely or often enough recently to tell for sure whether he's taped a new batch of them for this week, or if he's written new commercials for himself to read on air live and then just ad-libs on the a little bit.

But a couple of the more recent ones have some new, dumb shit I hadn't heard before. For instance in a couple of the commercials from last night he brought up that he had recently found out that dogs had evolved from wolves. He acted incredulous as he informed the audience of this fact, the fact that our modern-day, domestic dogs had wolves as their ancestors, and he seemed to be on the up-and-up about not having known that before.

Despite his claim that he originally wanted to go into acting, Noory is a horrible actor Witness his attempts at playing at portraying the character of "future" radio broadcaster Dexter Monterey, or trying to do impressions of other actors who are really acting. Or even him trying to act convincing while reading the lame words provided for him by other advertisers and their products such as Tahiti Village and whatever it is he has his "bawdle" of. He's horrible.

But when he gasped at the fact that dogs evolved from wolves, he actually seemed sincerely surprised. And he's so fucking stupid and unaware of the world around him, that I have no problem at all believing he didn't know this. Well, almost "no problem". I mean, as fucking STOOOOOOOOOO-PID as he is, it really is amazing that that's something he's never so much as given a thought to. Being a self-proclaimed "dog lover" and all. Seein's how in the past Noory has claimed to know a lot about all manner of dog breeds, and a great lover of animals in general. And having thought so very highly of Steve Irwin, you'd think he might have picked up on the wolf/dog thing from watching one of Irwin's hundreds of television programs.

(At this point I'm taking time to laugh out loud, because of any of you ever heard Noory's original interview with Irwin, it was blatently obvious that Noory had never heard of him, and was clutching desperately at straws to think of something -- anything to ask Irwin. He seemed like he had caught maybe 15 minutes of a Crocodile Stalker episode shortly before his interview -- only because someone on his staff gave it to him so he would be "prepared" for the "interview". Which was terribly, horribly painful to listen to, because I was just mortified and embarrassed for Irwin, who was trying his best to carry the interview by himself. He seemed like he realized early on that he was speaking to the one person on the planet (other than a handful of Bushmen) who had no idea who The Crocodile Stalker was.)

When he first took over the Coast to Coast, Noory tried desperately to connect with Art Bell's fans and be "part of the gang". So he claimed to love cats - just LOVED him some pussy(sic), and also claimed to have loved animals all his life. However whenever he spoke about animals it became clear he knew virtually nothing about them, and even though he had once owned a black lab, he never seemed like an animal person. I might add that in the last year or so Noory has made some off the cuff comments that imply that he doesn't really like cats much at all. The other night he told his listeners that if they had a cat who was "listening" to the radio while he was on, and had the audacity to be sleeping through his who, that their owner should " kick the cat off of the bed and on the the floor!". He then gave a rather vicious laugh which I found very disturbing. He really seemed to be deriving pleasure from the thought of a cat being hurt. And is his recent wont, he then added, "Kidding! I'm kidding!", but even then his tone was very insincere. He's a sick fuck.

Noory's personality is not that of an animal lover. People who love animals - truly love animals-- tend to be on the selfless and compassionate side. They also tend to have great senses of humor and loving dispositions prone to uncontrollable displays of public affection for anything that touches their hearts. They also tend to be behaviorists, and have a natural proclivity for studying and paying attention to people, animals, plants and things around them in order to better understand them. And they have a natural empathy for all living things.

In other words, the antithesis of the outrageously Egotistical George Noory. Unless it's about Him, a person or animal would be hard pressed to be able to keep his attention for any length of time. In many ways Noory is like an

Asperger Kid

. Some of Noory's fans may poo-poo my allegations by reminding us that he's really into his family and his kids, and he's such a great dad and granddaddy that he insists on spending several months of the year broadcasting from the city of St. Louis, in order to spend more time with his family who lives there.

Look. The ONLY reason he's so into his kids is because they are HIS kids. Meaning that they contain HIS almighty DNA, and are things that HE made and produced. They are just other version of HIMSELF , the only person in the world who he's really, truly enamored of or interested in.

You're now thinking to yourself, "Jesus Christ, Dixie!! are you EVER going to get to the point??".

Ooops. Yeah, sorry. So Noory was amazed that dogs evolved from wolves. He then added, before going into the actual commercial, that, "My dog Casey is not a wolf. She's a Golden Retriever. And a darned neat one, too."

"Neat." That's great. Spoken like a true dog lover. "Darned neat." It struck me he was like a cross between Wally Cleaver and Jeffrey Daumer. And for those of you who still insist he's full of love, life and compassion, and I'm wrong about why he's so into his family? Well, where is that compassion when he leaves that "neat little dog" all alone in St. Louis for the other 8 months a year? What the fuck is that?

The ONLY reason he EVER got interested in dogs at all - at least enough so to where he'd actually choose to be around them in a peripheral fashion- was when Purina One became a sponsor, and he felt the need to "seem credible" to the people he was pitching the product too. Well, one thing led to another, as he claimed to acquire one dog after the next, each time implying (at first, at least), that they were his animals, only to reveal later that he either gave them away, or had bought them for someone else, or what have you. Each one was nothing more than a prop to him. These dogs are all fucking props. Tools. Means to an end. And eventually, after having revealed he wasn't really a dog owner, time after time after time, he FINALLY had to break down and get a legitimate dog of his own - to seem credible.

Meanwhile this poor animal goes for months at a time without seeing it's owner. Frankly, I'd feel more sorry for anybody or any animals who actually HAD to spend a lot of time with Noory, but that's beside the point. All pets, and dogs in particular, need a great deal of interaction with their humans in order to stay psychologically fit. Noory is ruining this poor dog's life just so he can sell a couple more bags of fucking dog food.

He ought to be shot. Fucking prick. We all ought to write letters to Purina and tell them we don't appreciate their company for allowing one of their representatives to knowingly abuse an animal in order to sell their dog food. George Noory doesn't have enough empathy to keep a fucking gold fish mentally healthy.

So there's you "quick one". Shit, man. Do I go on or what????? . I am so, so sorry for harping on this dog thing so much, but being a genuine animal lover, it really drives me insane. Just up the damn wall.

Since most of the commercials Noory does don't show up on the Streamlink playbacks (except for his stupid fucking book), we can't go back & fact check all the lies and fabrications he's come up with on all the dog business, not to mention other ad campaigns It's a tad late now, but still not too late to start taping them on a cassette, I suppose. I dunno if it's worth the effort, But if any of y'all happen to hear a good 'ern, do Dix a favor & jot it down to share with the rest of us in the comments sections, wouldja? Thanks, all!

"Hillbilly Psychic Angela Moore" -or-"Blame the ET's for Coast to Coast!"

2007-03-24T04:51:00.000-04:00

Sorry for any typos or weird grammar - like Noory, I'm only half-paying attention. Typing during commercials, and 1/2 listening to Coast while I type a few things. Just like Georgie Boy! Ha haaaa! I apologize, that's not nice to treat y'all that way. :) I'm sleepy!

++++++++++++++++

So tonight's show.

He has self-proclaimed "Hillbilly Psychic", Angela Moore on, and she's a real gem, but he's being his usual idiotic self. She's down in North Cackalackey (that's Carolina to you Northern folks...) somewhere, and has an absolutely wonderful accent - so pleasant to the ear, very bright and pleasant, and quite pronounced. She even said "I swannee" once, which delighted me. That's more a phrase that older folks use, you don't generally hear younger people say it unless they are waaaaaaay Southern.

I can't help but think, knowing how Noory's mind works, --or doesn't work, depending on how you look at it -- that Noory perceives himself as smarter than, or somehow superior to her because of her manner of speaking. He has often taken a superior, uppity attitude with callers who have had pronounced Southern accents. And it's very common for lots and lots of people who weren't born Southern or spent any length of time in The South to allow themselves to stereotype Southern folks. It's just human nature, Southern folks do the same thing with Northerners, Californians, etc., etc. Hell, I stereotyped Hollyweirdians not two mintues ago, so? There ya go.

But Noory is exactly the type of small minded person, and so egotistical, that he wouldn't be able to reign himself in. Wouldn't even realize he was doing it. So even though Angela is off the air now, and Noory was superficially pleasant to her, I still got the feeling he didn't take her seriously at all. There were several times when he'd interrupt to ask a question that she'd already given the answer to. Even though he didn't flagrantly patronize her, as he does some Southern people, you could tell he was a million miles away. Which was a shame, because she was utterly charming, well spoken, and I found her absolutely credible. And I rarely feel that way about psychics he has on. Almost never. I think a great many of them "have a little something", but I believe everyone has a little something.

Here's an interesting tidbit, though. Once she started taking calls, she was reading people over the phone, telling them what kind of spirits they might have around them - if any- and / or what kind of vibe, for lack of a better word, she got from that person. She came off as sincere, too - not like how that fuckin' asshole Sylvia Browne does, or Evelyn Paglini, or their ilk. So after spirit-riddled caller had just been hung up on, Angela quickly interjected to George that, "Oh, by the way!", she has strongly sensed all kinds of alien "stuff" all over him the entire time she's been speaking to him, and she's absolutely convinced that he's had some kind of alien experiences.

(For those of you with Streamlink who want to search for this audiio, it was around 2:46am) - - Noory was quick to claim he's been in a "groove" ever since he was a kid, "My entire lie has been driven..." by some unknown force, blah, blah, blah...

She says ever since she started talking to him she felt it, & she sensed it really strongly that he had all kinds of alien "stuff" - almost implying that they were crawling all over him as they spoke. Seriously, the way she spoke, it seemed like she could see him with alien "bugs" crawling all over him. She instructed him to somehow try to search within himself to try to find some clues that might help him figure it all out. I sensed that she was trying really hard to encourage him to get to the bottom of it just so she'd know what it was, as she seemed to find it very curious & intriguing. Not at all like she was pandering to him or trying to pump him up the way Sylvia Browne & other so-called psychics do with him. You know what I mean, how they tell him he was this, that or the other important person in the past or the future. The King of Atlantis or the hottest DJ in The Universe in the year 2525. Or that he's "an old soul" who is a "sage and a shaman who has lived many lives."

None of that horseshit. More like, "Ew! Dude! Did you know you have Cooties?! What's up with that?!"

Now that statement she made was both a blessing and a curse. The good thing is that the One Thing we've never heard George claim to have done is have an experience with an ET. He has stated that he's never seen a UFO, but he really wants to, so many HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS of times on the air, that even he was smart enough to know he couldn't make up some kind of a lie and get away with it this time. The best he could do was say he had some kind of "groove on" with The Universe.

THE CURSE is coming. All George needs is one night to sleep on it to come up with a zillion fabrications that will make what Angela said seem true. Only with his spin on it. So it's gonna suck to have to hear all his crazy lies about how The Space Aliens have orchestrated his entire life in order for him to be where he is to deliver Their Message to the entire Planet Earth, thereby Saving the World. That as a wee child, the ET's recognized him as The Chosen One. The Savior. The Great (off) White Hope.

Gag a maggot, I can hear it all now.

Now the funny thing is, as soon as Angela started talking about the aliens having some kind of serious contact with him, I thought to myself, "Well maybe they really did! Other than Satan himself intervening, I can't think of any other explanation as to why such a talentless waste of space could possibly have risen to the professional level he is at right now." Somebody, and only something SUPERHUMAN could accomplish such a feat.

And Noory's immediate reply to Ms. Moore actually made me think that - at least right at that moment - that he himself believed that that could be the case. Of course, he didn't go at it from the angle that I did - he seemed to be going more in the direction of maybe the ETs recognized something special in him.

Mark my words, we haven't heard the last of this mess. Sorry to say.

Lord, peopleses. I've been running my mouth during commercials during this whole show. I was gonna shut it down at 2am, but Angela Moore sucked me in, then i got to typing at y'all, and now there's only a half hour left, so I may as well keep on. Who knows when I'll make it back.

Next up: That poor little puppy.

Random Musings on the First Part of Friday's "Ohmpen Lines"

2007-03-24T01:40:00.000-04:00

Man. Noory is - .... tonight's show is slipshod, as usual, but even in the first 40 minutes or so -especially before the guest came on- there have been some extra special "moments".

For one thing, somebody keeps cranking the reverb - almost as if the engineer is doing it just to fuck with Noory's head. It'll come in for 5-20 seconds or so, then go back to normal - but it's super cavernous. It's not my radio, and it's not my ears playing tricks, cuz Cecil heard it on the radio in the other room. Noory didn't comment on it, which is odd, since usually the tiniest of audio changes or slip-ups bugs him so much he's compelled to comment on it.

Also when Noory was reading one of his regular "nutritional/medical supplement" commercials -- I can't remember which one it was for -- he started it out the way he normally does, in a fakey, casual manner, trying to ad-lib a bit as he was reading the regular copy and information. You know what I mean, right? Trying to "personalize it" a little bit to make us think he's just chatting with us? Well! A sentence or so into it, he quit ad-libbing and began reading more quickly, then faster and faster and faster. So much so that he was nearly tripping over words. I don't mean the way he normally mispronounces or stumbles over words, this was like his mind was actually a couple of steps ahead of his mouth for the first time in his life and he didn't know what to do with himself. So much so that you could hear him getting audibly nervous, even pausing for a super-brief moment to fearfully gasp. I started laughing it was so funny, it was like a nerve wracking episode of I Love Lucy where she got stuck on an assembly-line that had been sped up.

All of this is especially funny because just last night, at approximately 3:09 Eastern Time, he proudly proclaimed to a caller that "I normally have my act together in EVERYTHING I do." And he did not say it tongue in cheek - he totally believed that statement the moment he said it. (Then he went on to tell how he was trying to put diesel fuel into his gasoline guzzling SUV.) So anyhoo, it was a good laugh, and I wondered if maybe someone in the studio was just in the mood to fuck with him tonight / this morning. Maybe tricking him into thinking that he was behind schedule and needed to "beat the clock" to get the commercial spit out on time.

But then, yanno, just now, I thought about how people act when they've just done a line (or something) of coke, and how they act when it kicks in. It seems to happen in just a split second's time - one moment they're normal, then it's like somebody flips a switch and "Instant Motor Mouth!". In one way I can't imagine Noory doing coke. Or smoking pot - which some people have theorized is part of the reason why he talks, thinks and acts like such a dipshit. On the other hand, he is in the entertainment business, where that shit is so common place, even among entertainers you would NEVER, EVER suspect. Gospel singers, and "family bluegrass bands" and such. So why not Noory? He's so enamored of the word "dabble" (ergh! I HATE that word, it just made me literally cringe just thinking and typing it...) , and he's confessing to dabbling in a variety of activities, so why would "expuhrimenting" with drugs be out of the question? Especially since he is SOOOOOOOO enamored of all things Hollywood, and he desperately wants to seem hip and cool soooooooo badly; and he is so simple-minded, not to mention afflicted with a terminal case of arrested development, that I could see him "doing a bump" if some cool guy in the studio offered him one. Maybe under the pretense of "Hey, it's just a little one, and it'll help that back pain of yours! It's not very much at all, you won't even feel it!", or some such thing.

I dunno. Just kooky speculation and fantasizing. No concrete evidence. Lobbing shit over the wall. Letting my mind wander. Hard telling what people might get up to. But the thought of him doing drugs led to another thought I had when I was reading his book last fall, and it was about an "near death episode" he claimed to have had.

Now, we all know that Noory makes up all kinds of shit regarding paranormal experiences he may have had. Although he does that with everything else, too, so WTF, Australia? He's mentioned this "death" episode of his on the air before, too, and maybe in a print interview or chat somewhere, I don't recall for sure, but I've heard him allude to it several times. Each time he mentions it, it's only brief enough to let people know he's been "clinically dead" before, and that's about as far as he's willing to go.

I should add that once on Coast he even elaborated enough to "confess" that it was only for a split second. He said he was just dead for a split second. So I guess he sneezed or something, I dunno.... But how big of a boob and a jackass do you have to be to think that being "dead" for 1/10th of a second counts as even so much as a Near Death Experience, let alone having "come back from the dead"? What a fucking moron!!)

Why did I bring that up? I'll tell you. I think it mighta been in his book, but in one of the sources I got the impression that his "death experience" was around the time he and one of his wives lived in St. Louis and it was in their home (maybe), and around the time he had his own production company. I can't recall why all this struck me this way, or exact words - I could be totally off base, just one of the impressions I got, submitted for your considerations. The one concrete thing I do know is that he has clearly stated more than once that is is something he does not speak of, and does not want to give any more details about, and that it was a part of his life he didn't care to revisit.

Do what you will with that. I know what it sounds like to me. There are at least two places that I know most of you will take it, if only to entertain for a moment.

George Noory is a Kind, Altruistic, Selfless Wonderful Human Being.

2007-03-23T01:39:00.000-04:00

AH-HAHAHAAAAAHAAAAHAHAHAHAAA!

As if. Just wanted to get your attentions.

No worries, I just felt the need to tell a really, really big lie. I don't know what came over me. Maybe I got possessed by Noory for a second.

Eeee-yuuu. Isn't that an icky thought? If that ever happened to me, not only would I demand to be bathed in lye, I'd also need to be turned inside out and hosed down. Either that or some kind of full body internal douche with a very heavy-duty grease cutter in it.

Sorry I been layin' down on y'all for so long - I've been having a blast doing NASCAR related stuff, which includes listening to our new Sirius radio during most all of the waking hours. So I haven't been listening to the lying cocksucker much at all. Although I'm about1/2 listening right now.

Here's some food for thought- a couple nights or so ago, while hawking their new "campaign" for the Christian Children's Fund, he said they'd give away a free copy of "Worker in the Light" to the first 350 people who committed to sponsoring a kid.

I think it might have been Tuesday night that he said that - it was earlier this week for sure, though.

So. Mr. "My Book is Selling Like Hotcakes!!!" , you know the one that is still on the initial pressing of 17,000? Well, that's ONE of the figures he tossed out - I believe he's contradicted himself on that at least once, but I'd have to check my notes...

BUT!! Mr. "Hurry up and buy my book now! There's only a few left!!" , and then Mr. "Hurry up and buy my book there's only a couple thousand left!" , etc. , etc. , etc.

Mr. "I can't handle The Truth because I wouldn't know it if it kicked me in my tiny, shrivelled, hairy, Middle-Eastern balls" is once again TRYING to give his book away.

Trying to give it away. As an enticement. You know what I think is really funny? I can't remember where I heard or read it, but during the last campaign, one lady sponsored a CCF kid through the Coast to Coast campaign, but wrote a note to Noory or whoever and told them "Thanks, but no thanks."

Okay, that's all I want to think about right now - I know I should be doing a better job of keeping track of all that asshole's lies and misrepresentations and all, but I don't wanna ruin the good mood I'm in! (Big Grin!)

Plus comedian Billy Connelly is gonna be on Craig Ferguson's t.v. show in a little while, and I love Billy Connelly.

But y'all, please, please, feel free to use the "comments" sections here to post and take note of, times, dates and all, of all the bullshit that Fucktard is spewing!

I love all y'all's company, I truly do, but I neglected my NASCAR buds all winter, so .... yanno....

And for those of you who think NASCAR fans are a bunch of toothless, illiterate idiots? Sure, you get a few of those almost anywhere you go. A FEW . I'm sure Noory and his posse of California Clowns think that we're all a buncha dummies, not worthy of the profundities that spill from his lips every night.

But I'm here to testify, the stupidest of all the stupidest NASCAR fans are still fucking brain surgeons compared to Noory. And "my crew" consists of a wide variety of folks, all of whom can run intellectual rings around ol' Dixie Butcher. People who have full blown college degree that they actually earned themselves and didn't have their 19 year old, pregnant wives doing their homework for them. (!!!) Even got a couple of bonafide Professors in there.

Okay folks - green flag is waving, gotta run! Love all y'all!

Coast to Coast Drinking Game

2007-03-03T02:10:00.000-05:00

Well this should be fun for those of you who drink, or need an excuse to. Tonights "ohmpen lines" topic is "encounters with the Grim Reaper".

So far Noory has said, "Grim Reaker" twice without correcting himself. I guess that's to make up for his Laser Shield commercial that's been running uncorrected for months now where he says "reap havoc". Lord he's simple.

So if any of you want to, take a drink every time Noory says "reaker" instead of "reaper". You should be loaded for bear in a couple of hours. Noory also said, when describing the archetypal "Grim Reaper" figure that he carries "a sickle looking thing".

Yes he does, George. That would be a sickle.

Agent K. privately pointed out a couple of things worth noting & I thought I'd share.

On last night's show, guest Christopher Moon was talking about actually being choked and physically attacked by a ghost- the story was shaping up in grand fashion, and then Noory interrupted Moon - as he did many times throughout the show- to recite the words to the Lizzie Borden song, which he was obviously reading, and he seemed unfamiliar with it and the whole Lizzie Borden saga. So Dipshit was doing what he always does, Googling away as his guest speaks, trying to figure out what they're talking about. Totally derailed a good and important story because he's a jackass and paying no attention. He has the mentality of an 8 year old boy.

Also K. noted that when Ian Punnett phoned in tonight, Noory had him "use up" all of his "promo time" by sidetracking him with giving him (Ian) a hard time about Red Elk, then wouldn't allow Ian an extra minute or two to plug his show. Which I don't need to remind you is also a Coast show, so they should allow Ian as much time as he wants.

When Ian charmingly made a ploy for Noory to cut him some slack because it is his birthday, he was met with silence.

As Agent K pointed out, apparently nobody had written down an appropriate response to such a statement, like, say, Happy Birthday, Ian!! .

Noory is truly an self-centered ass of the highest order.

+++++++++++
post script: Noory mentioned that there were about 1300 people in attendance at the little show they had in Houston tonight. You know the one - the Sean Hannity "Hannitization of America" rally, featuring Sean Hannity? Of course, Noory didn't mention Hannity, he led the audience to believe it was all for him.

He can't even get his 10 million "fans" to buy his book for $16.00 a pop - why in the world would he think any of these people would pay between $20.00 and $45.00 for a ticket to see him "ohmpen up" for Sean Hannity?

All His Exes Live In.... Sherman Oaks???!!!

2007-03-02T10:23:00.000-05:00

......and on to another subject: In his Coast to Coast Streamlink Chat from February 13, he revealed to us that he was married to his high school sweetheart in 1970, and they were married for 17 years. So the nice Catholic Boy divorced her in 1987, it looks like. In 1988 he says he married a lovely woman named Lisa, who he then divorced in 1988. That's what he said. Married and divorced in the same year. It might have been a typo on his part, he mighta meant 1998.

That would make a little more sense, since in his interview with Whitley, I believe it was, he said that he had to go back to at radio station KTRS in St. Louis after he and his wife realized they were running out of money after his self-owned "production company" went belly up. But maybe he did mean 1988. In which case the above story would be a lie.

If it was 1998, however, it brings about this possible scenario: So old Georgie boy left his previous radio career to start his own production company, which almost undoubtedly was a rinky-dink operation that probably did nothing more spectacular than cheap sleazy local t.v. commercials for used-car lots and other local businesses too cheap or small to afford a proper commercial.

So the business tanks and Noory is out of work for how long? I don't think he mentioned that, but it's funny that it never dawned on him that eventually he was gonna run out of cash to pay bills. Or that his wife wasn't aware of their dwindling funds sooner than that. We already know that Noory tried to keep his switching of his major in college a secret from his father for as long as possible before he told him. (Actually, he didn't ever "tell" his dad, he waited for his grades to come in the mail and his dad found out that Georgie boy switched from Pre-Dent to Broadcasting when he saw the class listings on the report card.) So maybe Noory was also trying to keep their dwindling savings from his wife for as long as possible, too. ( IF he was even married at the time....)

Alright then, so "they're" going broke, so Noory goes back to the station he used to work at and begs for a job. Not how he worded it, but he told whoever was interviewing him that they gave him a part-time night shift. He didn't start out with his Night Hawk schtick right off the bat. And he wasn't even remotely "famous" at the time, so he had to be getting paid what any late night broadcaster gets paid, which is about doodley-squat.

Part-time Doodley Squat, I might add. Certainly not enough to pay the bills for him and his "wife?". If they were divorced in 1998 rather than 1988, maybe it wasn't because of his weird, late night hours, as he claims, but because his wife was sick and tired of his fiscal irresponsibility. I don't know if Premiere Radio and Coast paid for his move out to California or not- but if you think about it, he must have been about plumb broke when he got signed full-time to Coast, which may explain why it appears that his 2cd ex-wife, Lisa, might have had to co-sign on his apartment or condo or whatever he has out there.

I received this very interesting email from someone on June 13, 2006, while I was gathering questions for my radio interview with George Noory:

"One other thing, I found George listed on a genealogy site I subscribe to with addresses both in Sherman Oaks and in St. Louis. The thing is, they list a Lisa Noory, age 41 as living with him in Sherman Oaks. I know he says he's not married, but was at least once. This Lisa would be about 15 years younger than him. Sounds a lot like a second wife to me. But he said very recently on a show that he wasn't married. He has at least one daughter, but she can't be 41! I don't remember her name. "

How 'bout them apples? I wonder why it's only been recently that he's even mentioned a second wife, don't you? Up until now, he's definitely made it seem as if it was just the first wife. On his Wikipedia entry there's only the one wife mentioned, and he's done nothing to dispell that notion. And I know he & Lex (or somebody) must read that entry at least once a day in order to do "damage control", as people are often getting on there and changing some of the text to say rude things about him.

Brief aside - how about Noory the other night, asking a caller if her father was Native American after she had stated at the beginning of her call that he was a Crow Indian. Cecil said you could practically hear him reading various message boards and fan mail on the computer during all the "ohmpen lines" calls that night.

Just a thought: If Noory believes there are no coincidences, and that Fate has everything planned out for us, why does he bother doing mass conciousness expuhrments or carrying a number 8 in his pocket? And if the number 8 is so all-fired, sure thing lucky, why doesn't Dale Earnhardt Jr. win every race?

What's up with: Noory's latest obsession, that he is constantly trying to arrange while he's on the air, with interviewing people in prison? In his recent chat he said he wants to interview Sirhan Sirhan, elsewhere he's mentioned the BTK Killer and Mark David Chapman and I'm pretty sure Manuel Noriega. He's like a poor man's Geraldo Rivera. Which is about like saying he's the sleaziest scumbag of all sleazy scumbags.

Parting notes: It's not nice to call a person a liar, but after the Dimitri the Devil Channeler fiasco, Noory claimed that they would never have "that guy" on the air again. And now they've gone out of their way to schedule him for an hour "debate" with Sub-Genius Fundamentalist Pretender, J.C. -- who Noory insisted in his most recent chat,

In that chat he also stated that his "dream cars" would be Mercedes, Escalades and Jaguars.

When asked if he was into amateur radio like Art, he said, "No.", even though when he started out on Coast he claimed he had "always been fascinated by" HAM radio and intended to get himself a set up once he got settled in LA.

When asked if he ever took cruises, he said, "I cruise to the Carribean."

When asked if he liked ZZ Top, he replied "Love the show and admire Billy Gibbons." , even though Noory said he'd never seen the band live when Billy Gibbons was on the air with him.

When asked if J.C. was the real deal, Noory said that he was afraid he was. I realize that there are still quite a few simple people out there who insist on believing J.C. is not a prankster and / or a character, but a lot of the folks who still are on the fence have been told repeatedly that he's a member of the Church of the Sub-Genius, and Noory has even had another Sub-G. minister named Chuck Roast call in and verify that J.C. is "one of theirs", and they still insist on "wondering" if J.C. is for real or not. I don't know what to say about that kind of stupidity. BUT, it should go without saying that by now even Noory HAS to know he's play-acting - yet he still insists about lying and pretending he's the real dea.. Just as he lies about Dimitri the Devil Channeler being the real deal. Even after Noory confessed on the air that they had deliberately tampered with his voice.

Somebody asked him what the largest turn out was at his book signings and his reply was that they all were "huge". Oh yeah? Huge compared to what? Certainly not to Art Bell's book signings, where the joints were packed and people lined up around the the block.

Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment

2007-03-02T07:48:00.000-05:00

Let's see if I can lob a few random observations over the wall without getting too talky and obsessing on one subject...

First of all, me 'n' Agent K have decided we'd like to hook Noory up to an electric shock machine during his shows. Anytime he mispronounces a word, makes a grammatical error or uses the wrong word, misuses the word 'synchronicity', says he doesn't believe in coincidences, employs a Malapropism, slurps, says something that contradicts what he's told us in the past - especially pertaining to personal affairs - , asks a guest or caller a question they have already supplied an answer to, talks about going out to dinner, or says something that he is obviously just making up on the spot, he gets a low-voltage shock.

Wouldn't that be fun?! Nothing serious - just enough to make him very uncomfortable for a few seconds. Maybe piss himself the first time - that'd be cool. He tortures us on a nightly basis, I see no reason why we shouldn't return the favor.

I think we should also extend the list of offenses to anytime he uses his beloved crutch words & phrases, (feel free to ad to the list, I know I'm forgetting lots of them....) such as "strange", "simply", "I gotta tell ya", "basically", "'preciate you participating in the program", "I've always been fascinated by...", "merely", "I love it", "Ghost", "2012", etc.

He should also get a shock anytime he talks about "his" dogs. God dammit it sickens me to talk about these dogs. Whenever he does the Purina One commercials, he ad-libs about these damn dogs he gives free food to and talks about them as if he's some kind of dog lover and knows something about dogs. Often he'll vaguely qualify what sort of relationship he really has with these animals, but last night he flat out claimed that he has three dogs. "I have three dogs, blah, blah, blah- all of them in St.Louis...." Even the dog that is "his" isn't his. Somebody else takes care of it for the 3/4 of the year that he lives in California.

Now I ask you, WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT, and WHY would anyone want a dog when they see it and live with it for three months a year, and the rest of the time it's kept in a cage in his house in St. Louis, where somebody comes and feeds and walks it a couple times a day. Actually I don't know if he still keeps this dog - a yellow lab puppy - in a cage anymore, but he did for awhile. I assume because he didn't want it peeing on the rug and chewing up the furniture in his absence. He had somebody take the dog to obedience classes recently, so it may be all housebroken now. He says she's more well behaved. But what the fuck, man??!!! Puppies need to interact and to play with their people and to bond. Not to be left alone, or even with strangers, 3/4 of their lives.

I'll tell ya why Noory has this dog, and claims these other two dogs are his: It's because he knows a lot of his audience are animal lovers and he's trying to play to the crowd. He knew coming into the show that most of Art's fans loved to hear about his cats, most of them were strays he took in, and they also loved Art's interest and compassion for animals in general. When George came aboard C2C, he tried like hell to convince the audience he was an animal lover, but he didn't have me fooled for one second. It's been clear from the beginning that he doesn't know shit about dogs, and his knowledge has increased very little even since he has actually owned a dog of his own. And that's about all he does is "own" it. No real dog lover would do their dog the way he does his poor little puppy. Lord I feel so sorry for her. He talks about how she about wags her tail right off when he comes home to St. Louis, and thinks it's because she loves him. Bless her heart, she probably does, too, just because that's how dogs are. But she's likely wagging her tail more because she's just glad to see somebody, and she knows when she sees Noory that at least there will be one person hanging around full time for any length of time. If he really loved her that much, he should at least take her back and forth to LA with him now and then.

By the way, for those of you who don't know, one of "his" dogs is a gift he gave to a friend, but since he gives his friend free Purina One dog food that he gets for free from his sponsor, apparently that makes it HIS DOG, even though somebody else loves it & cares for it in their home 24/7/365; and the other dog is a stray that he & somebody found and later found a home for... and I'd be willing to bet you that Noory never cared for the dog in his own home for any length of time, and probably made no effort to find it a new home other than to mention on the air that "he" took in a stray dog out of the kindness of his heart.

Bottom line is, I think it's fucking sick that he is such a selfish, self-serving bastard that he'd use this poor animal the way he does, just to garner favor from the animal lovers in his audience, and in order to have a prop to use while he's doing commercials for Purina One. I imagine when they stop sponsoring the show he'll just give the damn dog away. Seriously, a real animal lover who has the kind of schedule and lifestyle that he does would never even consider owning an animal, let alone a fucking dog. A cat might fare a little better in the deal, but even cats need attention. And it goes without saying that dogs require loads and loads of time with their owners. George Noory is just a clueless, selfish prick.

I Smell Another Scam About to Happen... Please Help Christopher Moon and Frank...

2007-03-02T07:44:00.000-05:00

I have had just about enough. I laid down to listen to the remainder of last night's show and got so disgusted I couldn't sleep, so I decided to share my revulsion with all y'all. The show featured Christopher Moon, who has a machine he calls the "Frank Box" - a device engineer Frank ________ (heh, "Frank Blank" ) created as a sort of receiver to hear the voices of the dead, who can communicate with them in real time. I don't think I need to tell you that it didn't take Noory long to decide that he had to have one.

That's right - the Jackass that won't fool with Ouija boards or spend the night in a haunted house wants a machine that allows him to speak to the dead. It also didn't take long for Richard C. Hoagland to contact Noory to tell him that he also wanted one in order to communicate with the spirit of Ed Leedskalnin, the creator of the mysterious, granite Coral Castle in Florida. Hoagland Noory, of course, wants to speak to Marilyn Monroe. What a surprise. (gag.) My first thoughts on either one of those clowns having this receiver to the dead was "What makes them think the dead would be willing help out either one of those Glory Grabbing Carny Barkers?"

Of course, both Noory and Hoagland think so highly of themselves, I'm sure they believe everybody on "The Other Side" would be clambering all over each other to try to get some air time with them. The Hubris of those two combined is so vast thata if Hubris were water pollution there would be no living creatures in the world's oceans right now. If Hubris required oxygen to survive, the combined Hubris of Hoagland and Noory would have caused everyone on planet Earth to asphyxiate ages ago. But back to the boxes--

Moon and Frank claim the technology came from some plans that originated with Thomas Edison, and that they actually communicate with Edison himself, as well as numerous other technically inclined spirits who help facilitate communication with other spirits by manipulating radio waves and signals to form words and messages. The engineer Frank has made 21 of these devices so far, each one an improvement over the last, and according to their story / stories, Edison's ghost has told them that there are 30 souls (presumably living today) who are able to use the boxes effectively.

The implication seemed to be that there are 30 "chosen ones" who the spirits are willing to communicate with clearly and on any regular basis. This "fact" was revealed later in the show, after Noory had already requested one of Frank's boxes, to which Moon replied "Absolutely!". I was surprised that Noory didn't immediately state that he was sure he was one of them, once Christoper Moon mentioned the "30 souls" angle, and I was also surprised that when Noory put in his initial request, Chris Moon didn't have enough sense to say, "Well.... there's a catch.... only a few select people are able to use this box...." - if he knew that, why in the world would he think Noory would be a good candidate for a Frank Box?

Oh well. As I was saying, it was a shocker that Noory didn't immediately claim his "intuition" told him he is one of the Chosen 30, but he did immediately begin to contend that Edison was probably LYING to Moon and Frank. Noory, who knows virtually nothing about Edison (as evidenced by his ad-libbed commercials for C.Crane's LED light bulbs, in which he has to riff on Thomas Edison's light bulb and how it's inferior...) , immediately began trying to convince Moon that Edison was kind of a sneaky character and very protective of his inventions, so his ghost was certainly lying to Moon and Frank.

Jesus Fucking Christ, George, project much??? I'll transcribe some of his quotes once Streamlink brings up the whole show.

You want to know the sickest thing about all of this? If Noory does get him a Frank Box, and he doesn't start immediately receiving transmissions (which he won't) from his A-List of Dead People, which includes JFK and Jesus, but Marilyn Monroe is at the top (some Catholic, eh?), he's going to have Tom Danheiser and the engineers pull the same shit they did with the "Devil Channeler" (who has now been upgraded to Devil Worshipper, and will be featured in an hour debate with Sub-Genius Preacher, J.C. ).

You know he will. He's just gonna have Danheiser drag in some gal who does a piss poor impersonation of Marilyn Monroe, have her say some shit about how she died and how she thinks Noory is hot, then Danny-boy and the engineer will run it through a flange and a phase shifter and pass it off to Noory's adoring audience of Meat-Heads and start bragging to the world about he actually has dead Marilyn Monroe on tape.

Noory will never use the machine properly - his Asberger Ass couldn't possibly be bothered with taking the time to sit and wait for a transmission, then go through all the tapes to see what may have come through. After all, he recently claimed on a Streamlink Chat that he spends 14 hours a day preparing for his show, then he spends his weekends writing all these books he has coming out. then of course, he practices his Remote Viewing skills every night at some point, and I believe he's said in a past interview that he sleeps from 4am-10am, sooo...... yanno..... And then he also claims to have "free time" when he "plays", and that he "dates a lot" -- he doesn't have time to fool with a Frank Box.

SNORT I'm not saying he's a liar, but... I mean, really.... So look people, we need to help out old Frank and Christopher Moon, and write to them and POLITELY (Don't talk like Aunt Dixie, now...) explain to them that Noory is a big fake and a phony, and that he's liable to pull the crap I've outlined above, which would quickly and easily be debunked on the internet, and in the process make Mr. Moon's and Frank's amazing devices be forever relegated to being a giant hoax.

I encourage all of you to write to Christopher Moon -- and some of his staff as well -- as soon as possible before it's too late!!! We've GOT to nip this thing in the bud. Otherwise, besides defaming Chris Moon, Noory is going to have yet another annoying, cheap, juvenile gimmick ala Dr. Morgus to torment us with every night of the week. Do ANY of you want to hear him bragging about being in contact with The Dead on a regular basis while being subjected to phony baloney recordings of fake EVPs?

I didn't think so. Contact info is at the link below,

and this is Christopher Moon's email address.

You might want to write more than once, I imagine they're all getting flooded right now with emails after his appearance on Coast. Every fool in the world and his brother thinks they're one of the 30 magical people who can use these boxes. And by "every fool", I mean anybody who listens to Noory and thinks he's the Real Deal, which sadly is a lot of people. God help us all.

Oh yeah- there's a phone # on another page of the Haunted Times website, too. Go ahead and give 'em a jingle to warn them- it'd probably be faster!

God He's Gross... a Random Rant while Listening to The Everlasting Gob-Smacker

2007-03-02T03:51:00.000-05:00

Every fucking guest he has on. It's the fucking movies. Tonight's guest, who has this talking to the dead machine that he feels may some day be able to be used in court to summon the spirit of the deceased - say a murder victim - to testify against their murderers in court.

First thing Noory says is, "Can you imagine them making a movie out of this?? I can!!" Now he's running through the whole movie plot out loud on the air, "I see a Hollywood movie out of this!!"

Jesus Christ he is about a tacky piece of shit, isn't he? He gets these incredibly interesting guests on the air who do the seemingly impossible IN REAL LIFE, and all Noory can do is put it into the context of a movie, slurping away like a rabid fucking dog, salivating over the prospect of "the money to be made" - as I'm sure he imagines himself the producer and star of these ideas.

Everything is a movie to him - or a t.v. show - when a guest comes on, Noory has to relate their subject to a t.v. show or movie he's already seen, or do this new "thing" of his, coming up with great screenplay ideas on the air. While ignoring his guest, who is actually doing things in the real, physical world.

Art warned about him going to Hollywood. I don't really think Hollywood changed Noory, I think he was always a shallow, opportunistic bottom feeder with a low IQ -and therefor perfectly suited to Hollywood. I fucking hate him, I really do. He just gets worse and worse by the day. More detached, more living in his own little ego-centric world.

What in the hell is wrong with him that he can't relate to the real world on any level? From the beginning it's been him equating any given guest's topic to a Twilight Zone episode, maybe an occassional Star Trek - and then for a time, the ubiquitous (and horrible) Eyes Wide Shut, whose sketchy theme was about sexual obsession, but somehow Noory thought it related to damn near every topid he discussed on Coast to Coast.

And now, in the last year, he's constantly trying to make movies while he's on the air, while ignoring his guests. When he's not busy engaging his guests into helping him plot and plan out the logistics of future shows that may or may not include them.

That's right, he'll just stand there in front of his microphone, thinking aloud about what kind of shows he can plan for the future.

And lord help us if he sees a movie star in a restaurant - how embarrassing is it to listen to him go on and on about how he and / or Tommy sees somebody when they've gone out to eat - which, by the way, I think they do for every single meal for no other reason that they're HOPING they'll spot some movie stars. Their latest victim is Patrick Swayze. Poor guy - I never thought I'd feel sorry for him, but I sure do.

Noory can't shut up about how they've asked him to be on Coast to discuss the 17 year old movie which Noory uses as a reference point for all things paranormal. Jesus Christ, if I had a nickel for every time he brought up the movie Ghost , I'd be stinkin' rich. I suppose if you wanted to make excuses for Noory, piece of shit that he is, you could justify his constant referrals to movie and television by saying that he has to resort to that since he has no personal experience with it whatsoever, and is also incapable of reading a book about anything, so.... it's all he's got.

He must have had some kind of fucked up, sheltered, miserable childhood to become the guy he is. He has zero social skills and seems to dwell in some kind of fantasy world of his own creation. I'd like to feel sorry for him, but he's such a schill, a schyster, and a creep that I cannot.

He's horrible. Just horrible.

George Noory, a Man of Few Words

2007-02-07T02:13:00.000-05:00

Last night's grab bag show with guests Dick Sutphen, Lon Milo DuQuette and medical researcher Christian Wilde was so chock-a-block with stupid shit, and George Noory screwing up in every possible way he's able to, that it would take me days to break it all down for you. I could write a fuckin' book on last night's show. Not to worry, though, I won't go all James Joyce on your asses right now. Ulysses. wasn't made in a day. heh.

As we all know by now, George Noory is infamous for having the vocabulary of an average 9 year old boy combined with a tendancy to mispronounce about every third word, not to mention butcher the most common popular turns of phrase. He has been criticized for it enough that he's now coping by making fun of his own mistakes when someone points them out to him, but he's rarely able to detect these mistakes on his own. I used to wonder if it was dyslexia, and that may still be a partial explanation, but more and more lately I tend to believe the man has a slight (?) learning disorder.

He just doesn't "get" certain things that he should really fully comprehend by now. For instance, in the first half-hour of the show Noory was discussing karma with past-life-regressionist, Dick Sutphen. Now, one would think that a man who has always been fascinated with past lives and hypnotherapy (even though he pronounced the word "therapist" as "thera-PIST" - emphasis on the 'pist'....), and a man who has been doing shows on metaphysical topics for more than five years, many of them based on past lives and karma, and a man wrote a fucking book which mentions karma repeatedly would know what karma is, wouldn't you? Well. Wouldn't you?

I've heard him discuss it with people before and he usually seemed to understand the basic premise of karma, but last night for some reason he was confusing karma with charisma - or that's our best guess. He was confusing karma with something else, for sure.

"I have a friend of mine," Noory said, " who has incredible karma! I mean, you can tell when she goes into a room she just lights up the place! ...When. She decides. To turn it on. If she doesn't --and she's gone through a real rough time lately, ah.. the karma has dulled. But I see it coming back now in a big way. Wwwwhat allows somebody to do that? I always thought karma was just there."

The past life expert deftly crafted an explanation that spun George's confusion of charisma and karma into a situation that made sense and actually *did* (rather loosely) pertain to actual karma, but the fact remains that Noory didn't know what the hell he was talking about.

Like I said, Noory has seemed to have somewhat of a grasp on it in the past, though, so how he got confused at this stage of the game, I don't know. Although... it's been a few months since I've read his book "Worker in the Light", which is at best a hodge podge of half-baked New Age concepts that Noory has a tenuous, at best, grasp on, and I do seem to recall that he abused karma in his book a few times, too. I imagine in the end it's just another one of a multitude of subjects that he knows just enough about to bullshit his way through.

After Noory's comment Cecil came into the office scratching his head and said, "I swear George's sense of karma is more simplistic than most fortune cookie's."

++++++++++

We also got another instant classic Nooryism last night after he screwed up a commercial he was doing for his book. Most regular listeners to Coast to Coast know that Noory isn't worth a fart in the last hour. He gets sloppy and his voice drags, he is brusque with the callers, rushing them through the queue and hanging up on them before they can finish their thoughts and sometimes he gets downright testy with them and the guests. So ol' GN is riffing on a commercial for his book and says, "We're in the final stages of getting rid of the last copies of the first printing-"
at this point Dip Shit realizes what he's saying and says in a self-chastising growl, "Well, I shouldn't say it like that...", then continues,
of "Worker in the Light", um, we've gone through a lot of them.... amazon.com has some at a substantial discount and they're at your favorite bookstores around the country. So if you're inclined, pick it up and then, ah...send me an email and we'll send ya a signed sticker - a little autograph you could just uhhh afflix to the inside cover."

Apparently sometime during the rest of the commercial break somebody informed Noory he said "afflix", so when back on with the guest Christian Wilde, he jokes and says,

"Hey Christian, I think I just invented my own word. I think I just said afflix instead of affix on my signature!! I think I'd make a fortune if I put out my own encyclopedia of my own words!!!."

Good grief. I wonder if anyone pointed that one out to him later....

And that's just another one of thousands he's said over the years. I just can't wrap my head around how clueless and stupid he is. How in God's name did this man get through four frickin' years of college??!!?? With a degree in a communications field, yet? His reading and writing skills are poor. Doesn't listen well. Never learned to type, either. Something tells me the little gal who he got knocked up and was married to throughout his college career helped him squeak through a lot of his classes. I don't see how he could have done it on his own.

++++++++++
ALSO:
Duly noted is Agent K's comment left on my last entry about Noory hanging up on callers at inopportune times. That was an astute observation that I intend to explore further, and thanks for bringing it up, Agent K. It's quite possible that nice lady will suffer an untimely death thanks to Noory's inattentive rudeness. Whadda self-absorbed prick.

Maybe Someone IS Paying Attention...

2007-02-03T09:52:00.000-05:00

How ironic that several hours after I posted my screed on George Noory holding spontaneous show planning meetings while on the air, the first "guest" on Coast to Coast that night was former and now re-instated producer, Alan Corbeth. Also ironic is that Noory's fifteen-ish minute on-air chat with Corbeth sounded like a business meeting in and of itself. Not so much the important part of the meeting where things get done. More like the aftermath. The part that comes after The Big Guy, The Fixer, attends the Real Meeting with the worker bees of the staff, discussing all the important issues and strategies for overhauls and forward movement and then bumps into "TheTalent" in the hallway on the way out, exchanging pleasantries, assuring him he's doing a great job and telling him everything's going to be just fine.

The C2C website frequently has up a message to the fans soliciting them for guest ideas and contact information for anyone they think would be a good guest, and there have been a few times when Noory even mentioned it on the air, as well as actively soliciting any random callers that seem to have an interesting story that seems remotely legitimate. For long time Coast fans, I don't need to tell you that when Art Bell ran that show - with the help of producer Lisa Lyon (who is still a producer) and Alan Corbeth, there was never a lack of interesting guests, nor a need for the new, ridiculous & juvenile "Floating Format", which basically means that they're flying by the seats of their pants and will take any guest (often procured at the last minute) that will be on, for whatever length of time they can manage. The current Coast shows also frequently resort to their current stable of "stand by guests", who in essence are just media whores who are happy to be called to talk any old time. Your Richard C. Hoaglands, Stan Deyos, Jerome Corsis, et al.

Part of the reason Art, with the help of Lyon and Corbeth, always had great, interesting, intelligent and unusual guests - guests you'd never heard of before, (As opposed to members of any given Star Trek related show, Gary Busey and Pat Boone - to name a few.) was because Art Bell reads books. Fiction, non-fiction- it matters not. He once said he tries to read a book a day. Mind you, he managed that while doing 5-7 radio shows a week, which he did a great deal of the prep work for, often including contacting the guests and setting up the interviews himself. (I'm pretty sure Noory's "prep work" involves reading all of the Coast fan forums, I've caught him on one five minutes before his show was supposed to start.)

The staff behind Noory is much, much larger than Art Bell's triumvirate, and yet they still seem to be scrambling, and Corbeth did little to dispel that impression, saying of Noory's staff, "They're just in there churning out guests as best they can..." and shortly after that , Noory said,
"Now it's time for us to continue pushing, because I think the insight you've been able to bring now to us from before and basically sitting and listening for four years - you're really gonna help us to continue to cantapult this show beyond anything that's going on in the country."
( Yes, he did say "cantapult", and yes, I did transcribe it exactly the way he said it.)

For a couple of months I've been noticing an increase in negative chatter concerning Noory and his performance on various Coast fan message boards that even allow that sort of thing. More than the usual grumblings and critical observations. Furthermore, the fans who are expressing displeasure have gotten to the breaking point, and are actually organizing to take action and try to do something about it, rather than just bitch. They're calling local radio station programmers, contacting sponsors, contacting various agencies to see the "books" on the show's ratings to see how much smoke is being blown up their asses... they're getting mad as hell and they really not gonna take it anymore.

The natives are restless, and it appears that someone in the Coast to Coast camp has finally taken notice. Enough so that somebody , and by the Noory / Corbeth exchange, it doesn't appear to have been Noory, decided that they needed to pull out The Big Guns and make some serious changes. From Noory's words and inflections, it seems that at least one person on their staff finally said, "Enough is enough - we need help, and we need help bad, and the only guy that's gonna get it done right is Corbeth."

Corbeth stated that his role will only be part time, and from what he said, it appears that he will be in charge of procuring good guests in a timely fashion. Good God let's hope he does. Of course, the best guests in the world can't make a difference if Noory doesn't read their books and understand the subject matter, so we'll see if Corbeth can really work some magic and either convince Noory to actually read a book now & then, rather than skim it for "the meat" , Evelyn Wood-style, as he claims to do. (Everybody who believes that raise your hands...)

+++++++++++++++++
ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS:

I thought it was funny that Ian Punnett talked in a warm, friendly & comfortable way about Corbeth, even chuckling and calling him "Uncle Alan", but the normally cocky, egotistical Noory was reverent to the point of grovelling. A complete suck-up. He said,
"....I have a special role for you in my heart, because you helped put me where I am today. And the fact that you're gonna be there pushing and carrying us for years to come, and as long as you want, is very important to me."

As a geeky aside, the copy or Corbeth's bio that Noory was given to read as his introduction is here , and if you have Streamlink and are able to listen to the show, you will have a brief example of what I've been trying to tell y'all for years, and that is George is not a good reader, does not have a firm grasp on grammar, and he tries to ad-lib his copy which adds to further mistakes in grammatical continuity.

George Noory is a Fucking Idiot-Discuss

2007-02-01T15:07:00.000-05:00

How's that for a start? For several weeks I've had several people prompting me to post more here, and to share my many thoughts and rants on the performance of Coast to Coast AM's week night host (or as a very dear, former C2C fan says: "weak night host"), George Noory.

Unfortunately I've been crippled by a form of writer's block. In my case it's caused by such a wealth of material to draw from that I have no earthly idea where to begin. George Noory sucks so much, so hard and so badly that I'm completely overwhelmed. Should I begin with his lack of ability to speak? And if so, should I focus on his inability to pronounce the simplest and most common household word? Or should I focus on the fact that this self-aggrandizing "consummate professional" has so much saliva in his mouth at any given time that he makes Daffy Duck seem like Sir John Gielgud?

Perhaps I could focus on his grammar, syntax and usage, which has been of interest to me for a long time. I desperately want to understand why a 56 year old man who was born and raised in the United States of America - Dearborn Heights, Michigan, to be exact - can so blithely and unwittingly butcher the English language on a regular basis the way he does.

I think I'll save that for a later, more in depth study, but for now, I think the best explanation may be that he was probably raised in a bi-lingual (Lebanese-English) household whose occupants probably didn't have an aptitude for grammar, regardless of the language being spoken.

Or it could just be that he's stupid. I dunno.

Today, though, I'll leave it with a very annoying and unprofessional habit he's gotten into in the last year.

For whatever reason - and please, I encourage you all to "discuss", as Linda Richman would prompt -- Noory has decided that it's a good idea to conduct his business on the air. I can't remember how many times in the last couple of months he has had a guest on, and in the middle of an interview , the guest will say something that prompts Noory to be struck with an idea for a future show.

When this happens, (and you can practically hear the virtual light bulb, dim as it is, turn on over his balding noggin ) Noory invariably will interrupt his guest, often mid-sentence, to tell them of his idea for a future show that may or may not include them, and proceed to engage them in helping him to plan out the particulars of this show.

In essence he brings the entire program and it's intent to a screeching halt, because - stop the presses!, he's had an idea, He will then go on to tell his guest what his envisioned plan for this future show will be, how it will include them, what they need to do to help him facilitate that, and that "When we go to break, I want you to give your phone number to Tommy (producer, call screener, and "Jim Fowler" to George's "Marlin Perkins", Tom Danheiser) so that Tommy can contact them later to help set up this show. This will often go on for ten minutes or so before Noory remembers he's supposed to be talking to the guest about their latest endeavors, and even then George Noory will frequently interject something pertaining to his "great idea" about this potential "upcoming show" throughout the rest of the interview.

Last night's show, with guest medium and demon aficionado, Chip Coffey, was a textbook example. As a sort of ace-in-the-hole for his interview, Chip had brought along a woman whose alias was "Maria Simpson", and who was a friend of Mark David Chapman, John Lennon's murderer.

"Ms. Simpson" was an older, genteel, soft-spoken, Southern lady, and Coffey and Simpson were of the opinion that Chapman had murdered John Lennon because a demon from Ms. Simpson's house had attached itself to Chapman and instructed him to do so. As she spoke it became evident that Ms. Simpson was well acquainted with Chapman (now residing in a solitary cell in Attica) at one time, but had not been in touch with him for years, and by her hesitant tone and inflections, it seemed he would just as soon not have anymore contact with her, nor she with him.

Noory (who proudly claims that "the meat of the matter" is his forte, subtlety & nuance be damned...) missed that part, not surprising, as it was blatantly obvious by his many silences throughout the interview that he was busy reading forums and fast blasts on the internet, trying to mine the minds of other people who were paying attention for good questions to ask, since he clearly had nothing.

Excuse me for a moment, but may I? HE'S A FUCKING IDIOT!!! . Not only that, but a rude idiot.

Near the end of Ms. Simpson's "appearance" on the show, as she was speaking, Noory was hit with one of his trademark, Geraldo-esque, 1/2 baked, exploitational ideas, and ground the interview to a halt to ask Ms. Simpson if she could arrange for her, Coffey and himself to go to Attica to interview Chapman about this demon!!!

He at least had the sense to ask Ms. Coffey if she would be comfortable with this, and she quickly but graciously replied "I don't know whether I would or not, it's a part of my life that was so traumatic I don't think I really would care to." , and her tone was so obviously troubled and uncomfortable. But did Noory let it go? Or care? Or even notice ?? Oh hell no!! He then proceeded to pester her & ask if she would at least arrange it so he and Coffey could go and do that. She agreed to try. At that point Noory told her to hang on so that she could give the ubiquitous Tommy her telephone number and contact information. When she agreed, she was basically "excused" from the interview, and you could practically hear Noory's thought, "Your money's on the counter, bitch, I'm through with you."

What a fucking ass. The woman had just said that it was a traumatic part of her life, someplace she's not comfortable revisiting, she's not on the show for any gain of her own, hell, she probably only agreed to do it because she didn't want to seem rude, and here's that fucking, insensitive prick Noory goading her on the air so he can come off as what he touts himself to be (and is not) - a "cutting edge investigative reporter". He is such an Geraldo.

And one more thought, before I leave you, Fans of Coast to Coast - If the lady is on the show already, on the goddam radio talking, via telephone, WHY THE FUCK DO THEY NEED HER PHONE NUMBER???. How did she get on the air in the first place? Did they have her speed dial the Wild Card Line until she got through? Who the fuck set this show up? One would presume the producer, Tom Danheiser, who is right there in the studio with them. Surely he already had her phone number, as well as that of Chip Coffey, who also clearly had to have had her phone number - why the fuck would they be asking her for it?

Furthermore, and to the point of my entire rant, WHY THE FUCK IS NOORY SETTING UP INTERVIEWS AND FUTURE SHOWS WHILE HE'S ON THE AIR????. Whether it's his job or the producer's, that shit should be done off the air, there is absolutely no reason why that needs to be happening. Yet it does. On a regular basis.

Is it Noory just trying to "show off"? Does he think it makes him look like some kind of a big wheel to be wheeling and dealing and "making things happen" right there in front of everyone?

Or maybe he feels his producers are too inept to handle it themselves. Could that be? Maybe he's afraid Tommy or Lisa Lyon will drop the ball. I don't fucking know, but I sure would like to.

Coast to Coast under George Noory's "guidance" has been a dog and pony show for quite some time now, but I think The Ringmaster has finally lost any kind of grip on reality he's ever had, and that was a shaky grip, at best, to begin with.

Man he sucks.

Obvious and foreboding....

2007-01-14T01:37:00.000-05:00

Mysterious and reassuring my lilly white ass.

Stay tuned for pending transmissions, ladies and gentlemen, we've only just begun.

Cursing is encouraged, you may spit on the floor and we will have free beer tomorrow.

Art Bell RAWKS

2006-10-12T23:33:00.000-04:00

In a recent post in a Coast to Coast fan forum in a thread discussing how the inimitable late night radio host Art Bell's politics seemed to have changed, The Great One Himself paid a visit to set the record straight on some of the fans' observations and speculations. Here's what he had to say:
__________________________
"First please return to the start of the show and review the moment when I said "I am going to play the devil's advocate" after digesting that line, know this:

The Bill of Rights and the Constitution can only be enjoyed by the living, the 3000+ who died on Sept 11th no longer enjoy them.

Much of what I said was as Devil's Advocate, much of it was exactly what I believe, I simply over did the part I was playing to expose the extreme positions being taken on the other side, how many of you have been roasted by your bedsprings? Or perhaps toased by your cell phone?

Listening to a talk Host agree with everything a guest says is the worst
Sin in Broadcasting, BORING. I am not a one trick pony, never was, never will be.

1. I do not believe our own Gov't killed it's own people.

2. I do believe that as in WWII ( We are at War) and times have changed, that SOME lines need to be crossed with oversight or many of us will have to have those rights inscribed on our tombstones to have them recalled.

3. Why do peole write angry letters to me saying they do not listen to me anymore, and by the way.....last nights show really sucked?

Art Bell"
_____________________________________________

I so wish he would have added:

"P.S. And stay the hell off of my lawn!!"

But he didn't. I can hear him saying that though. If I was slightly more shallow, I'd say "Art, Baby, don't ever change!" But one of Art's greatest qualities is his ability to change. To roll with what life throws at him, and question everything. The guy is the epitome of smooth. Somehow he has transformed hobbies and interests that many equate with socially handicapped geeks into Sheer Unadulterated Cool. He makes being smart "sexy". He defies convention in ways that rock stars wish they could. When he purrs his signature invitation, "Wanna take a ride......???", it's not the voice of a pocket-protector wearing dweeb with his glasses taped together on the nose bridge. It's more akin to the irresistable menace of Marlon Brando in "The Wild One" . He defies convention. What's Art Bell rebelling against? I bet his answer would be, "Whaddaya got?".

Mission Statement, or "Why Are We Here?"

2006-10-12T04:00:00.000-04:00

How many of you have heard that MX-80 Sound song "Why Are We Here"?

That's what I thought. No matter. Just one of those cheery little Ralph Records ditties that Cecil and I like to sing to ourselves as we putter about the house. "Why are we here? Why are we here?" I understand John Cougar Mellencamp hated MX-80 Sound "back in the day". But that's neither here nor there. That's not why we're here.

We are here pretty much for our own entertainment, but if you're reading, welcome, and please feel free to join in. For the most part, I'll just be jotting down things that my old man Cecil and I have heard on the talk-radio programs "Coast to Coast AM" and "Coast to Coast Live" that entertain us, for better or for worse. They're both very thought-provoking programs, although not always thought-provoking for the right reasons. Coast Am and Coast Live on the weekends are uniformly excellent with hosts Art Bell and Ian Punnett, respectively. The weeknight shows are hosted by George Noory, and while some are not bad, Cecil and I spend a lot of time poking fun at them while trying to figure out what in God's Name is going on in the host's mind.

If you want to leave comments, by all means knock yourself out. Feel free to say nasty things about me if you like, I probably won't mind. I might ignore or delete anything outstandingly stupid or mean-spirited, but I might not.

And one more thing - if any of you have a lot on your mind concerning host George Noory and his capabilities, or the show in general, you're welcome to send it to me via email ( dixiebutcher@gmail.com ) and I'll consider putting it up here on the main page crediting you (or your nome de plume) as a guest writer. Or you can just leave it as a lengthy comment.

That's it. That's all. Welcome to our nightmare.
