sorry. i forget to wrap my statement in <sarcasm></sarcasm> tags
<sarcasm>this thread is "useless information".  not "thoroughly disgusting news stories".  please</sarcasm>
better?

Yessuh. Carry on!

I can't remember what it was, but I seem to remember George "joking" with Linda about something else that wasn't funny at all, just mean-spirited. It might have been on a past April Fool's, but I can't remember. Anyone?

Then don't click the link. Threads diverge all the time.

Thanks, HAL. Just came back to fix it.

Sorry onan!

Ohio man fused to chair for two years via feces and urine. And it involves maggots.

You got me at first, too. Good one! I thought the Noory trolls combined their brainpower to hack the site.

I like this one better. Dog shit talk > George Noory ass kissery.

Welcome Usagi!

I've heard a lot about Father Malachi Martin, but never actually heard him until a few days ago on the 24/7 stream. It was from his first appearance on the show.

I forgot what he said verbatim, but he was mentioning something about death and he said when he got to his late 70's, he would ask God if he could go. According to Wikipedia, he died at 79. Thought that was eerie.

I came across the Christian von Lahr thread, in which he attempted to defend himself about his Michael Jackson-channeling claims. A lot of it was tl; dr, but also unintentionally hilarious on his part. He definitely needs to make a reappearance.

It was mentioned, though, that other Coast to Coast guests have been on the board to post. Does anyone remember who some of those people might be?

Maybe because he doesn't want his pretty young wife to be stalked by a bunch of dudes with an Asian chick fetish?

And he would know a thing or four about an Asian chick fetish!

Thanks, YNOT.

Can someone please post a link to the Arthur W. Bell III Facebook page? The only one I can find (page, not person), has 12 likes and no recent posts.

But seriously, if your biggest gripe is a guest has an accent, you clearly aren't listening to enough Coast to Coast.

Great news, GuildN! Hope your ear feels better soon.

Oh my God, that would be hilarious.

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.

Well he lost me when he called George the hardest working man in show business, but he redeemed himself with the fauxpology to those who criticized his back-to-back religious shows.

nancy grace is a fear mongering CUNT.  i hate her and wish she would be struck by a decommissioned satellite plummeting to the earth.  if you can watch the following video without agreeing, then you've been feasting on lead based paint chips for the last 35 years.  she's just atrocious.

Just wait until the next marginally attractive blonde girl goes missing. Then she will leave the radiation talk to scientists, where it belongs.

I had some Mormons knock on my door today. I really wonder what percentage of people they actually convert by knocking on their door. It can't be that high.

What a beautiful post, Hal. Your mother sounds like a fortunate woman to have had such a loving and caring son. I am sorry for your loss. It must be comforting to have such warm memories of your mother. She will live on through those memories. It sounds like your mother knew how much her husband and children appreciated and loved her, which is such a gift to a woman. I wish you well.

Take care.   

From the Alzheimer's Association

I put the things that apply to George in orange.

10 warning signs of Alzheimer's:


1. Memory loss that disrupts daily life
One of the most common signs of Alzheimer's is memory loss, especially forgetting recently learned information. Others include forgetting important dates or events; asking for the same information over and over; relying on memory aides (e.g., reminder notes or electronic devices) or family members for things they used to handle on their own.
What's a typical age-related change? Sometimes forgetting names or appointments, but remembering them later.

2. Challenges in planning or solving problems
Some people may experience changes in their ability to develop and follow a plan or work with numbers. They may have trouble following a familiar recipe or keeping track of monthly bills. They may have difficulty concentrating and take much longer to do things than they did before.
What's a typical age-related change? Making occasional errors when balancing a checkbook.

3. Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, work, or at leisure
People with Alzheimer's often find it hard to complete daily tasks. Sometimes, people may have trouble driving to a familiar location, managing a budget at work or remembering the rules of a favorite game.
What's a typical age-related change? Occasionally needing help to use the settings on a microwave or to record a television show.

4. Confusion with time or place
People with Alzheimer's can lose track of dates, seasons and the passage of time. They may have trouble understanding something if it is not happening immediately. Sometimes they may forget where they are or how they got there.
What's a typical age-related change? Getting confused about the day of the week but figuring it out later.

5. Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships
For some people, having vision problems is a sign of Alzheimer's. They may have difficulty reading, judging distance and determining color or contrast. In terms of perception, they may pass a mirror and think someone else is in the room. They may not realize they are the person in the mirror.
What's a typical age-related change? Vision changes related to cataracts

6. New problems with words in speaking or in writing
People with Alzheimer's may have trouble following or joining a conversation. They may stop in the middle of a conversation and have no idea how to continue or they may repeat themselves. They may struggle with vocabulary, have problems finding the right word or call things by the wrong name (e.g., calling a "watch" a "hand-clock").
What's a typical age-related change? Sometimes having trouble finding the right word.

7. Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps
A person with Alzheimer's disease may put things in unusual places. They may lose things and be unable to go back over their steps to find them again. Sometimes, they may accuse others of stealing. This may occur more frequently over time.
What's a typical age-related change? Misplacing things from time to time, such as a pair of glasses or the remote control.

8. Decreased or poor judgment
People with Alzheimer's may experience changes in judgment or decision-making. For example, they may use poor judgment when dealing with money[Goldline, E-Foods Direct], giving large amounts to telemarketers. They may pay less attention to grooming or keeping themselves clean.
What's a typical age-related change? Making a bad decision once in a while.

9. Withdrawal from work or social activities
A person with Alzheimer's may start to remove themselves from hobbies, social activities, work projects or sports. They may have trouble keeping up with a favorite sports team or remembering how to complete a favorite hobby. They may also avoid being social because of the changes they have experienced.
What's a typical age-related change? Sometimes feeling weary of work, family and social obligations.

10. Changes in mood and personality
The mood and personalities of people with Alzheimer's can change. They can become confused, suspicious, depressed, fearful or anxious. They may be easily upset at home, at work, with friends or in places where they are out of their comfort zone.
What's a typical age-related change? Developing very specific ways of doing things and becoming irritable when a routine is disrupted.

And I thought this bumper sticker was slightly hyperbolic:

To be fair, English is Bill's second language, as he frequently points out. And he does make fun of himself for butchering words.

I love the crew, though, and whenever Bill takes it too far he usually redeems himself afterward. It's a love/hate relationship.

I know someone who has 4th generation nightvision goggles. I always wanted to borrow them to watch alien wars, Ed Grimsley style. Now I'll have to check for interdimensional beings, too.

Anybody else annoyed by Noory's insistence on proclaiming "Network" to be one his "favorite films"? He did it again with Ed Dames the other night. First, I don't believe he's ever watched it. Secondly, if he did watch it  I doubt he understood it. About two years ago, Glenn Beck and Jerry Doyle began parroting Howard Beale routines and I think that is the source of Noory's knowledge of the film. And I doubt that drama queen Beck even watched it...

Yes. George Noory, Michael Savage, and Glenn Beck, as you mentioned, have all frequently used clips from the movie to illustrate their points. It's so played out. 

Oh no, guildnavigator! I hope it is not a tumor and everything turns out well. You're in my prayers.

The first guy talking about algae combating radiation was off his nut. Ian even called him on it once or twice. "Why hasn't this been tested?" "Why isn't this being widely used?" etc, and all those questions were sidestepped

The last question from a caller was how the nutrients can be absorbed in the first place. Of course it was taken right before the break at the top of the hour and I don't believe the guest had time to answer it. Not that he would've answered it, given the chance. I was drifting in and out if sleep, but I seem to remember Ian asking a critical question and the guest disregarded it by saying they should focus on the "positive" aspects.

But listening to Noory one night several years ago, I realized something that I hadn't before.  C2C had become a children's show.  Noory's delivery is similar to the labored cadence and overpronunciation that you hear in children's programming, or similar to  the way someone would read aloud to a group of first graders.  Not only was the content  dumbed down on an intellectual level but actually spoken in a manner similar to  how some people speak to children.  It's insulting. 

This is so true. He is a master of faux enthusiasm. It's even worse than those people who end every sentence with an upward inflection. It's aggravating.
