Quote from: rangers1919 on December 18, 2012, 05:05:48 AMThe gun violence problem is not going to go away.

Take the word "gun" out that sentence and I agree. 

I'm surprised we don't kill each other more.

While most foods we call peppers are nightshades, black pepper is from the family Piperaceae - thus not a nightshade.

I'm so glad you told me that.  Thanks.

Lose the Anton Levay avatar and grab some credibility....

That's not Anton Levay.  Lose the attitude and grab some knowledge.

SQ's just another another snake-oil salesman in eschaton immanentizer clothing, like Dames and GN.

I suspect JBW doesn't like him.  I wish JBW'd start doing him IP style.

I'm off the Noory.  For good this time.  It's been about ten days.  Feeling much better.

FWIW: I know a DOM (Doctor of Oriental Medicine/Ph.D)/Acupuncturist who told me you should never take just one or two herb. 

I wonder if Wilder is a aware that pepper is a nightshade which is inflammatory to many people and therefor undermining synergy/schmynergy.

You dont suppose Tommy and Lisa figured out early on that noory was a complete pinhead, and decided it would be a hoot to see how long, and how far, they could push him? It just may be that these two are the greatest producers in radio. If that is the case, my shadow hat is off to them. Nah....couldnt be. Premrat would get a tax credit for hiring a disabled person...nah...
Forget I mentioned it.

Tommy's tone could definitely be interpreted as patronizing towards GN.

Thats Noory response #27.

Yes!  Thanks.  What's the post link?

It astounds me that retail clerks are embarrassed by an expression of "Merry Christmas!". They can't even meet your eyes should you happen to say it.

Their Human Resources' Departments of Political Correctness send out their memos and mandates frequently enough to make sure they stay Pink.

Who's that?

Merry Christmas!

I'll try to be fair and say that music is a tough business.  For many of them still working as baristas or waitstaff for their "day job," C2C's misguided effort is probably a breakthrough for them, and, sadly, as far as most of them will ever get.

I know.  I'm a (retired) musician and tried to "emerge" several times myself, but never in a desperate enough of a way to ask Snoory and the likes for help. 

GN's just giving them false hope.

How many of these "artists" have actually emerged?

well, that's true too

-People/organizations/businesses too scared of politically correct peer influence to say Merry Christmas!

(I'm not a Christian and don't celebrate Christmas (or any commercial "holidays"), but I know stupid sheeple behavior when I see it.)

-Bob Costas (now we have definitive proof he's a TOOL).

Thanks.  It's completely "ripped off" thanks to the help of Google Images.

What do you mean, he's too reclusive?  Obviously he spends some of his 8-hour show prep hanging around convenience stores, eating, and watching people.  Kind of like Bevis and Butthead.

This brings to mind two things.
I also listen to a lot of sports radio.  A year or maybe two ago, I heard two sports broadcasters talking about how they used the same studio as C2C.  The conversation went something like this.
Broadcaster 1 (B1): You ever met George Noory?
Broadcaster 2 (B2): Yeah, he's a nice guy.
B1: Really?
B2: Yeah, why?
B1: We ran into each other when he was coming out of the studio this morning.
B2: Yeah.  So.
B1: You ever ran into him right after his show?
B2: Yeah.
B1: He, uh...
B2: It's a late night talk show.  What'd you expect him to look like?
B1: Not like that.
B2: Did he do something weird?
B1: I don't know.  Let's move on.

Second: remember his very short-lived p90x run?

His "people are acting strange!" campaign coupled with his insistent theism were my first clues.

How the fuck would he know if people are acting strange?  He's too reclusive, and the time he's been around compared the time people have been around is insubstantial and certainly nothing to base a guess on, let alone "people are acting crazy" proclamations ad nauseum.

My guess is people have basically acted the way they do now for a long, long time. 

I also used to think, "If you say it enough, George, maybe it'll happen," until I started seeing signs I wasn't alone in thinking him a poor replacement for Art.  In order to immanentize the eschaton you have to have persuasive skills.

He (and Ed Dames) are probably ramping up the propaganda in apprehension of the post 12.21.12 let-down when all the schmucks who bought their crap realize they were exploited by shameless profiteers (Dames' 2013 "kill-shot" prophecies might be his way milking it even more).

I used to think George was trying to immanentize the eschaton, but now I'm starting to think that would be giving him way too much credit. 

What do you think?  Was/is he trying to do that, or is he too greedy, lazy and/or dim-witted to organize something like that? 

Am I overlooking anything?

Quote from: Em Vee on December 01, 2012, 01:05:34 AM

what specifically did he say?  you think you could post a screenshot?

I could not substantiate this from his Facebook page.

"Well, that's true too," is one of the most annoying and obviously distracted/out of context phrases GN uses--a number one clue he's not following.  Is he bored, lazy, stupid?  WTF?  Is there a thread here about his use of this phrase?

This place is such a great way to waste my precious time.  Thanks.  I really dig it so far.

-David Stern
-Smart phones
-People who ride your ass when it's easier to go around
-Overuse of the words "like," "actually"-- nervous energy verbosity in general; also in general, "mouth sounds" (maybe I have misophonia like Kelly Ripa, who, BTW, also annoys me)
-In general, the words, "must" and "should" and the phrases "have to" and "got to"
-Tyra Banks
-Politicians
-Ants
-Philosophy majors

maybe add some more later...

It creeps me out too. It might be the creepiest show in recorded history.

The Poltergeist with the Old Guy in it a lot creeped me out too, as did Seven, The Blair Witch Project and The Ring.  This last one is embarrassing because it wasn't even a good movie.  Even after I figured out all the plot holes, it still creeped me out.

I love Dexter, though.  Go figure?

People like me are asking for trouble when they watch "scary" movies/shows.
.
Side note: the  most disturbing scene I've seen is when Michael Madsen tortured the cop in Reservoir Dogs.  I love Quinton, but that was very disturbing.

I come in peace--mostly.  Well, let's see how it goes.  I joined because I missed the beginning of the show tonight and Googled "where'd george noory go?" and the George Noory Sucks topic reeled me in like a Truth Tractor Beam. 

I live in Portland, Oregon.

I'll fill in the details as I go.

Peace (mostly)

"I want to go out as a hero.  Not from a pizza roll."

I just want you to go out. 

Really?  A hero? 

Although, it does fit his ambition before excellence ethic, not to mention serve his megalomaniacal ego.

My wife watches it so I've seen a few episodes.  I can tell it's well done but it creeps me out.

I'm not alone!

Thank you for understanding about GN.  He's such a weenie--and a goober.  And he's so out of touch; and evidently a careless broadcaster or a crappy multi-tasker--or both!?

I still don't understand why Art let it happen.
