It's a parody account. Poor Art.

Yep. The bio says it's a tribute account.

The feeling you get when Art reads your wormhole message on air.

[ziznak]

has the term "wormholing" made it into the urban dictionary yet?  I could see an entry mentioning Art Bell... I could also imagine a few other entries tho.

example 1:  So I was wormholing this chick so hard last night.
example 2:  Whats your problem? did you get something stuck in your wormhole?

[Kolchak]

Yep. The bio says it's a tribute account.

A quick glance of that account would lead one to the impression it's a joke. There is a tweet at Richard Dawkins inviting him to "go slap some faithtards."

Randi is nothing if not well spoken. Even in his most heated exchanges (like confronting the grief vampire Rosemary Altea on Larry King) he's never just thrown ad hominem attacks like that.

That one new ultra-religious caller the last few nights on Skype that Art thought sounded like he was related to JC, Art should dub "JC Jr."

That caller, called himself JC's "spirit" son.  I saw what he did there.

    Can't be real, but the mere thought of an 87 year old using a term like "faithtard" is very amusing.

Just another fine example of social media.

I heard the name "Curtis" and thought that might be you!

[ItsOver]

That's so sweet, ItsOver.  Thank you.

Carving pumpkins!

You're quite welcome, LV.  I thought you might be busy during my favorite time of the year. 

[Skunk Ape]

Oh no!
I actually like James Randi.
The documentary An Honest Liar is really good and is on Netflix now.

I can see how he'd have plenty to say about some of the guests though...

As an aside....Crystal's song is amazing.  The more I hear it....the more haunting it becomes and the more I like it.   What an amazing tune.

Thanks Art and thanks Crystal!

Agree.  It's a perfect closing song for the show.

It is the perfect song to close the show. Plus it sets me up for Hoagland's cool sci-fi music intro.

I always feel as if I've strapped into a starship for a voyage to Hoagie's crazy Forbidden Planet when his intro rolls. 

[popple]

Ready for this ride!

Yep had the same thought ..
Wondered if it was the Fabulous MudKing wormholing Art.

[WhiteCrow]

I always feel as if I've strapped into a starship for a voyage to Hoagie's crazy Forbidden Planet when his intro rolls. 

Yeah... Hoagie is a lot better than I thought he'd be.
Another example of Art's genius to pick Hoagie for the follow up show.

[WhiteCrow]

Ready for this ride! 

Should be GREAT!  Hope live chat thread gets back up to 'standards' of old SMX shows, with more entertaining characters participating.

I can't pick a fight with that ozzie wanker every night for my amusement.

(Smiley face kisses and hugs for Jaz)

Hey WhiteCrow, I may be able to hang in there for a couple of rounds with ya, if it's for entertainment purposes only.

Hoag's intro sets the perfect mood, it just fits him. Man, Madman Markum on with Art tonight. That's going to be like time traveling.

[Art Bell]

Haha, well it looked like the real Randi, even the email looked real and he took a shot at me first. Anyway people are right, I guess I don't know how to use Twitter. That said, I don't like either one of the so called amazing's.

Ha! Brilliant! I'd still love to see him (the "real" Randi) on your show. "Ding! Ding! Ding!" "In this corner, weighing in at..."

(You have to admit that it would be GREAT radio)

Oh, poop on Randi.  Ok, I'm done.

Was that a reference to Kreskin? I remember listening to that show live when you booted him off the air for that stunt he pulled. It's 17 years late but kudos for doing that. This is how fraud and hucksters should be treated.

[Art Bell]

That's correct, I did boot Kreskin, I corrected the mistake on Twitter, but this troll made a Nasty remark about me, not even the real Randi. Ho hum. The real Randi has also come after me and most everybody in the field.

LOL...no worries, Art. It actually probably gave you more exposure than just ignoring it! 

I did support Randi in his efforts to stop charlatans from victimizing the uneducated, grieving and gullible...for that he deserves credit...but going after folks for just believing in aliens or bigfoot was too much...also, wasting the time of universities to prove a point about magic versus education was over the top...

This. There's skeptical and then there's making your living by being a skeptic.

Can't help it but it's interviews like this that will make a girl moist. 🙆Good God I hate the word "moist" but I can't hold back!!!. Art Bell interviewing Madman Markum, tonight's the night baby!

[heater]

I heard the name "Curtis" and thought that might be you!

Hearing it a second time today was worth the price of admission for being a time traveler!

If interested in hearing more of the time I was nearly attacked by a werewolf-like creature listen to the Spec Sheet episode with guest Jim Harold.  I believe I brought it up during that show.
