...   I've wondered if it was the experience of some traumatic knock-down-drag-outs at the Noory home that has made Georgie so panicky about the mere perception of "yelling and screaming."   Maybe Gabe was the kind who interpreted any difference of opinion as intolerable "arguing," so Georgie learned to just play along and accept anything that was said.
HOO KNAUWS?

George learned the Fine Art of insistently not listening when people were talking somewhere..

She figured that he saw enough of that at home, from Dad Noory, and didn't need it reinforced from a movie...

Hahaah, I knew Pa Noory went in there somewhere.

Last night contained another perfect example of the appalling way Noory treats his callers. I could only describe this as brutal in its rudeness and insensitivity. The call started with one of his cringeworthy introductions:

'OK, let's go to the area of Lake Jackson, Texas. It's, er, Melissandra (Strokemouth tried to give this something of a Latin flavor, so it came out as 'Mullusandrrrrrrrruh) with us on Coast To Coast. Hi, there, Mel. Go ahead.

She proceeded to tell a heartbreaking tale. Aged 26, she said she had been on 'psych meds' for 20 of those years. A stable, high energy child, she had had some psychological disturbances to the extent that her mother had had to give her up. Placed in Austin State Hospital, she had been put on Ritalin to stabilize her........

And that's as far as we got. The volume on her call dropped and the signal broke up slightly. Literally within a couple of seconds, Noory barked at her, in a horribly harsh voice, 'Where'd you go? where'd you go? Get back to your phone.' he allowed a couple more moments. She was still breaking up, although words were coming through. Noory curtly remarks 'OK. Yup. Can't understand you.'...

OMFG, the rolling of the R's in her name when introducing her as if to kick the party off with an upbeat story, then the inevitible shortening of the name to 'Mel' (or the lengthening of it if they started off with a nickname).

Malevolent call screening, it's as if George has no idea what the caller will be talking about or the screener doesn't know what kind of callers he wants.  That, or the screener is under orders to use no more then 3 letters under 'topic' when setting up callers for George.

All these years and I just can't get past how someone can be so lazy that he'd rather be this awful this publicly than to make a handful of simple changes.

... "Spaceman" Bill Lee, who I met in 1989, long after his career was over, was a genuinely cool motherfucker. He treated us like equals and had a verve and true love of the game. The best "celebrity" encounter I ever had.

Nice.

He's still playing, sort of a one-man barnstormer.  He was just out here last month, pitched, and won the game.

"I'm able to do this," Lee explained, "because I've never quit."

...  Madonna(ugh)...       

That's going to be my pick (I'd be remiss not to give Whoopi a shoutout as well, although she was good as Guinan).

That Madonna skank had every girl my age within driving distance emulating her wardrobe and every move she made all through the 80s.   The all black outfits, the dead movie monster makeup, the cheap jangly junky jewelry, she just looked like a walking STD.

In order.

The Texas 'Football' Longhorns,as Howard would have said.  Which means I like Oklahoma, Oklahoha St, A&M, Tech, Baylor, SMU, TCU, and anyone else they play that might beat them

Dallas Cowboys.  Duh.
-
Oakalnd Raiders.  I wish for them to go 8-8 every year, just missing the playoffs, not getting a good draft position.  Now if they stopped with the dumb penaltlies, stupid talk, got rid of the criminals and former USC QBs, started winning and moved the fan base beyond the thugs and costumed idiots of the world, we could talk..

LA Lakers and Dodgers, USC Trojans

Yankees

The football factories of Ohio St, Michigan, Nebraska, Florida, Notre Dame,

Oregon Ducks.  Certainly their fans.

Seattle Seahawks, at least for  as long as they have Pete Carroll as coach

Colts, for the way they left Ba'mo'.  Like Luck though, maybe enough to take them off the list

St Louis Rams.  They were in LA entirely too long

Knicks, Magic, Heat

LA Kings, Dallas Stars

UConn, Duke and North Carolina

Most of the rest of the teams in LA, Texas, Florida, NY

Not sure where to rank it but any team from University of Detroit-Mercy.  For obvious reasons.


Favorite team:  whoever is playing the Raiders next.


Ok, that should be enough to piss off just about everyone...

I'm just glad people mostly wear clothes..

Those who are Coast Insiders, check 16:59 in hour two - clearly 'Old Yellow'.

George can be so misunderstood by Thuh Haters. 

This time he just didn't want his young lissners to miss out on seeing what has become one of his favorite movies. 

Ma Noory thought Old Yeller was about an old man sitting on his porch all day shouting obscenities at the neighborhood kids, and wouldn't take him to see it.

"She has 'Man Hands' "

Honestly, my hands would revert to "teenage boy" hands and be all over her. Ah, youth ... absolutely wasted on the young. If I could go back to 17 with what I know now. Oh My God !!!

That was from Seinfeld, Jerry could find some flaw to make any woman undatable...

Find something wrong with this woman. I dare you.

She has 'man hands'

You, sir, obviously understand what Pres. Obama meant about "you didn't build that [extensive social, financial, and material infrastructure necessary for the startup and continued success of your business]."
Good show, MFM!   [applause, applause]...

But he didn't say 'you didn't build that alone', we could have all agreed with that.  What he said - 'you didn't build that' - was mocking, dismissive, devisive, telling, and wrong.

And yes, tax rates have a big impact on whether and where people invest.  The difference between what Obama has been doing and what Reagan did after that severe recession was that the Supply-Siders predicted what the outcome of their policies would be, and that's what happened (and the results the Ds predicted about those policies di samed not happen, yet they still continue to lie about the Reagan years). 

We are still waiting for Obama's predictions to pan out - and they just aren't.  And won't.  As has been shown many other times in the past, those policies just do not work.

... I always got the impression George is one of those types who sucks at his job (obviously) and to make up for it he over does it with things he thinks will make the boss happy. Instead of getting better at the job as a whole he major's in the minors."NO BAD CONNECTIONS NO DEAD AIR CRAM AS MANY CALLS AS POSSIBLE!"...

Which is just more evidence he knows he sucks.

George will never, ever miss a station break.  It's as if his eyes are glued to the clock.  When he hears the music indicating a break is coming up soon, he'll immediately cut a person off even of it's right in the middle of the punchline after a lengthy buildup, or someone wrapping up a story of a loved one dyig a tragic death, if need be.

Jennifer Garner has always been on my list... don't see how you could say she's not beautiful.

A few weeks back didn't he pick out Serena as one of the most beautiful in the world?

Our company could only have made it with Venture Capital and American oportunity and know how.  Same with the others I'm familiar with.

I will say we sold some software to the NASA and the military - less than 20% of revenue, and we got some of our smart engineers from Europe and a few from Asia - around 10% of them.  We had customers in Europe and Japan, I think they would have bought our stuff pretty much regardless of exchange rates.  None of this was unusual.

This was starting around 1990.  Were you there?.

Its things like the atlatl that make me wonder how the early humans figured stuff like that out.  They obviously had no physics or anything like that.  Everything would have to be learned through trial and error and the knowledge gained would be collected and passed on.  I always picture a line-up of tribesmen and some medicine man feeding each one a different plant or fungus to observe the effects...

or

"Hey bungawunga go stand over there for a second... I'm gonna see if I can't throw this stick with THIS stick and maybe it will land near you!"

...and with that the first brutal sacrifice to science is made.

I wonder too - they figured out some use for nearly every plant, got medicines, made rope, soap, bug repellant, amazing- some had to be soaked, or baked, made into tea, or ground up first, I guess they had a lot of time on their hands every day.   

Someone must have noticed that the hand moves faster than the elbow when swinging their arm around - guys with longer arms could reach further and hit harder, so extending the arm out a little with a club then an atlatl should have been figured out at some point (hey Chief, we can weaponize this)..

I think the math for the speeding thing goes like this...

small penis means overcompensation via the employment of certain "macho" activities. These include but are not limited to speeding, doing burnouts, and challenging other drivers at red lights by revving your engine and making that stupid face that you make...

Talking over them, putting them on mute, insisting on being right, and cutting them off while hosting a radio show...

Quote from: ziznak on September 21, 2012, 12:51:45 AM
I remember first seeing the atlatl in some college anthropology book and thinking it was the funniest thing.  I seriously didn't think it could work.

I was hitting the target after 2 throws

... the renegade Raiders were closer to being defrocked members of the Gypsy Jokers MC...

haha, nice.  I def picture them roaring into the Coliseum on hogs, swinging chains over their heads.  Except Stabler, he was a good ol' boy - his girlfriend was known as Wonderfully Wicked Wanda, and got the blame after a few of their losses...

Another weapon that's fun to practice with is the Atlatl - these things were used in North America before the Bow and Arrow.  With a little effort they could pierce the thick, hair matted hide of a Mammoth, or go right through the door of a car.

Good video I found on YouTube (this is just some guy, not me) :

Found this image of Ian in his Deacon outfit online
