useless information

[anagrammy]

The King with Donkey's Ears

Thank you- And it came to pass that the first listener who said WTF? when George Noory was hosting told another "George Noory is stupid" and it passed from one to another until the producer Lisa Lyons said, "You don't have to denigrate the show just because your favorite host is gone."

From then on, the listeners went to the watering hole located in the land of Internet, the oasis called CoastGab and whispered, "George is stupid."  But alas, CoastGab is a woman and no woman can keep a secret so soon the phrase "George is stupid" began echoing on station after station, among sponsor after sponsor and even children lifted their angelic faces up from their iPhones and said to each other, "George is stupid."

And thus was King George driven from the kingdom of Nye and the rightful King Art Bell restored!

i submit that this thread should be split into two separate threads: 1) useless information and 2) crotchroaches.  the second thread should be deleted immediately before anyone else's mind is destroyed

It's hilarious how into it you guys are about, oh say, zombies.  Gotta love the rotted-faced dead people after you to eat your brains, but everybody upchucks over some weird news that's real.

Probably public health menace?  Is it a useless piece of information?  Or an appreciated health warning for the morbidly obese? 

Mike, you better just delete the cockroach post since I got to tell someone and share my horror story...  No need to have other eyes melting and running down cheeks. 

Heh, heh.

eyes melting ... if  only mine had melted prior to reading your colorful anecdote.  oh the horror.  the hooooorrrrrroorrrrrrrr

[haloedorchid]

I thought the crotch-roach story was a good antidote to all the vulva talk in one of the Radio Hosts thread.

The story is gross, but stuff like this isn't as unusual as you might think. You see all kinds in the medical field.

[b_dubb]

and that's why i opted out of med school

[Treading Water]

No, no.  Don't delete it!

It's a reminder of why we all need to escape into a bizarre place.  Another example of why those places have to become more and more bizarre.

The "real" world is mighty scary.  Not to mention ICKY!

Please don't ever stop telling stories like this, Ana. I don't know why there would be so many complaints following it. The only way to stop that is to expose us to more "really real" weird news stories so that we can work our way over the hill. We're almost 'round to the dark side of the moon, we just need a little push to get us there.

Coastgab needs more cockroaches packed into it's vagina.

I agree.   I think.   What with my eyes melting and all.........

of course i was joking about deleting the thread.  i hope everyone knew that.

Of course. Even if it were to be deleted it would do no good.

Once the roach is out of the box there's no putting it back.

Tell me about it.  I have tried to forget that story for twenty years and failed utterly.  In fact, new questions STILL arise....   Anyway, I am a fan of the truly weird.  When I was growing up in the fifties, my mother subscribed to "Confidential" and "True Detective" which had photos of dead bodies and all kinds of horrific stuff.  Like you said, since it was always around, I leafed through each issue with great interest and then went back to my standard fare, "The Book of Knowledge."

For my next story about my health department best friend, tune into my new thread entitled "Revenge".

Thanks, HAL. Just came back to fix it.

Sorry onan!

this thread is "useless information".  not "thoroughly disgusting news stories".  please

[Treading Water]

Oh, I don't know.  Info like this might give someone the incentive to make sure he or she lifts up all rolls of flesh and washes underneath.  It's a start.
Clean people are happy people.

I'll tell you what's useful about it-- you learn something about yourself.  Do you monitor what goes into your mind?

Some visual pictures can burn the retina of the imagination-- yet we are programmed to not only look but to gawk.  No doubt a survival feature in our evolution.  Come across a dead body on the trail and every cell in your body sends the same message:  gather data...gather data...stare and stare hard 'cause this could be you. 

So we end up with the morbidly curious staring at the morbidly obese.

Or the morbidly curious listening to Coast while others sleep...

I'm so glad GN sucks.  Otherwise I would be living my life without laughter.

Spiral staircases in medieval castles are running clockwise.  This is because all knights used to be right-handed.  When the intruding army would climb the stairs they would not be able to use their right hand which was holding the sword because of the difficulties of climbing the stairs.  Left-handed knights would have had no troubles, except left-handed people could never become knights because it was assumed that they were descendants of the devil.

The slogan on New Hampshire license plates is "Live Free or Die."  These license plates are manufactured by prisoners in the state prison in Concord.

         As lefty, I find this very interesting. The foolish superstitions of the Middle Ages being easy to scoff at...then I realize that in the Fall of 1981, Sister Prudence and Sister Anna Marie used to forbid Young Coyle from writing lefthanded! 1981! 

         Granted they were both very old nuns, but the handful of lefties in that first grade class were "encouraged" to abandon our lefthanded traits. It would be "easier" for us, because scissors and pens(?) were "made for right handed" people.

             Same Sister Prudence who in 1983 would BREAK a Mickey Mouse backscratcher over my forearm, and then call my parents to say I broke her backscratcher.

[McPhallus]

Odd. I thought the abusive Catholic nun/priest thing was over by the late 70s.  The ones I dealt with from 1979-1983 were quite demure.  (Now the kids, on the other hand, were a different story.)

We had a few ancient nuns and they may have been present at the Spanish Inquisition, so they were strict traditionalists. But by 1985 or so, we had predominantly "laypersons" teaching.They strongly disliked me for different reasons.
