It wasnâ€™t an educational deferment.

Wow!! That is Awesome!! Love the way his paintings are textured. Allan expresses wonderfully through his art!. I personally love the one where heâ€™s thrown his hands up toward the expanse of space. Itâ€™s titled â€œIs Anyone Out Thereâ€. Maybe someday..... Thanks for sharing!

i'm sure 4-F and fraudulent, lots of guys figured out ways to make themselves unfit, Hoagie's the type to do that.

3 hours studying the paintings of an astronaut. :

Is Bean taken seriously as an artist or just a talented amateur celebrity artist?

Tuned-in way late. Has Bean ascended to become one of Hoagie's 'good friends'?

Hoegee · May 28, 2018, 12:53:08 AM

The small hands 'concrete wall' background is actually the lunar surface. You can see the footprints. It's not 'a pyramid'. He used that footprint effect in almost all his paintings.

The hands are small because Bean was an enthusiastic amateur painter who got the perspective wrong.

To hear these goofs larp as art critics is the most bizarre thing yet.

Hoegee · May 28, 2018, 12:58:02 AM

lol

Hoagie went berserk when one of the panel goofs observed there was a scratch on the lens that took the photograph of the 'lunar cathedral'.

'Mama Mars' equated him to Monet.

So I guess that makes him a talented amateur, at best.

Regarding the "blue blob" RCH showed as #5:

Hoagie's going to his grave with all his delusions and illusions of grandeur intact, he'll never debate anybody with real scientific bonafides because he knows he'd be humiliated and exposed not as a conman but as a sad old fool.

albrecht · May 31, 2018, 08:25:21 PM

Not RCH but an update on the story of another Richard Hoagland who ditch his family and was found decades later. Now he owes them big money.

Is Hoagie off again tonight?
Yep - its Kynthia filling in as guest host again...

CronkitesGhost · June 02, 2018, 10:59:23 PM

lol is this live or a recording? either way it's unintentionally hilarious, Hoagie's 'producer' is hopeless, she seems to be trying to project some expertise in art, like Hoagie's self imagined expertise. most of her contributions are Hoagie-esque 'hmmmmmm' and 'mhmmmmmmm' and 'let's go to the next picture'. i feel bad for the guest, even though he's full of shit himself, as a guest you need an interviewer who is following along with your 'work'.

right now it's a Monty Python skit.

Weak. Hoagie IS the show. I tried tuning in a couple weeks ago, and kept waiting for him to chime in. I then realized belatedly it was one of these bogus Kynthia shows. Trickery!

Does he have a stalker?

Hoegee · June 03, 2018, 10:19:47 PM

Whoops. Thought it was a repeat. Sounds like the show is going on as planned: Morningstar again, this time about RFK, Jr.

EDIT: LOL! Morningstar kissed Hoagie's (sphincter) ring first thing!

Morgus · June 03, 2018, 10:53:47 PM

Yep, Hoagie managed to get on the air live tonight as the host with Robert Morningstar again.

CronkitesGhost · June 03, 2018, 11:11:40 PM

Excellent commercial for Club 19.5 written and read by Hoagie masterfully, 'the most exclusive club in the world'. i fell for this when I was 6 when I sent Commander Dave $1.95 to become a member of the Commander Dave Junior Cadet Squadron which also was billed as 'the most exclusive club in the world'.

I guess it's not a total lie, Club 19.5 probably has 38 paying members, that's pretty exclusive.

You were supposedly a "good friend" to Hoagie when you were alive. Wouldn't he just comp you if you asked nicely in a seance?

Hoegee · June 03, 2018, 11:25:25 PM

Hoagie (interrupting): "We have to give people the interstitial glue or they're going to lose the story."

Complete hogwash. Yes I knew Dick Hoagland but we were never 'good friends'. He represented himself to CBS as something of an aeronautics expert with ties to NASA, our fault for not doing our due diligence. It was only later that we found out we had been had by the charlatan who it turned out was the curator of a children's museum in some small metropolis somewhere on the East Coast.
