I must say that the Seed's song fits that Bettie Page routine better than the original, bland music Irvin Klaw used. I forget whether that dance number was from Teaserama or Varietease. Too bad the Seeds came after Page's career. That's a nice fit.

Right now, I'm being bombarded with "Cocoa-Puff" or "Trix" size hail. I can't tell whether I'm sitting in a one-room, one-story flat or a cereal bowl.  Nice. The last thing I need is "The Perfect Storm." Let's just hope those darn tornado sirens don't start sounding, and some twister is headed this way.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
...But, a couple of hours later, I'll add that it's cleared. Now, all is calm...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
...Now, a couple of hours after the above couple of hours...we've got severe thunderstorms and some heavy downpours...perhaps the tornado sirens aren't far behind afterall...

I submitted an email to Fox-Sports Radio's Petros And Money Show informing them of this person. Why? The program does its themed "I'm A Horse Monday," so I couldn't think of a better guest.

It would be great to have him on that program! Ha!

I swear the same woman calls every week on open lines with a different name, but the same flat sounding midwest/Chicago accent. And she always has some BS story about contact with an entity, or some dead relative......I'd suspect she's a plant, but in typical Georgie fashion, the call goes nowhere. He usually ends up asking her if she wants to win any books, or refers her to some past guest......Georgie feeds off these people who otherwise no one listens to.

Perhaps she's among the "Premiere On Call" setups. It may not be true, but knowing how such networks can operate, I won't be surprised.

LOL!

The shirtless"beefcake shot" is the best! Too good!

I have Skype 4.2.1 running on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine with the FREETALK Everyman headset, but I admit I haven't used it -- other than test calls. Because I don't know anyone else I talk to that uses it! It's amazing that, considering the advance in VOIP these days, Coast To Coast AM seems to be the only major talk-radio program using a Skype line.

I have the "free plan" in which I can only call those on Skype. I could be wrong, but I remember reading some online scuttlebutt about the entire Skype thing going to a pay-only service in the near future. From what I recall, Skype is powered by AT&T, and the company wants the revenue for using its support and resources to run it.

That's because Bigfoot in the native extraterrestrial language meens cleanup in aisle 5.

And yeah nature does have a way of "sweeping the floor" but I may walk into my woods and not see a squirrel but I will find evidence of their habitation. I will see buried nuts, shelter, and poop... if I know what I am lookig for.

Now a 6 foot critter is going to have some sort of nesting area that can be easily seen and the poop is gonna be big enough to step in.

Well that's how I see it.

Yes, that is a valid point. For sure.

I can offer this, for what it's worth. I've read the journals of Bigfoot researchers about finding some lean-to type, temporary shelters in the woods. I remember hearing a guest on Coast-To-Coast AM, I believe it was early last year or so, describe how he spent four weeks in the dense woods of the Pacific Northwest on a Bigfoot search. I forgot this name, but he was the one who told Mr. Noory about not telling any of the locals that you're searching for Bigfoot. He said he carried a sketch pad and claimed to be an artist. And that's why he was going into the woods.

He said he never saw a Bigfoot. But he was among those who described finding these lean-to temporary shelters made of branches and vegetation. I remember he stated that no person was up in those woods to make them, and couldn't explain who (or what) constructed them. And I feel I recall him stating that -- like other researchers -- finding small trees broken by force, which isn't associated with damage from wear or storm conditions. And the force required to do that was above that of humans.

I do remember the guest stating that, considering the landscape, he won't rule out the possibility that even a larger biped creature -- one familiar with the environment -- could exist there elusively, and in relative seclusion.

I don't watch "motion pictures," anymore, but catch some of the best "films" I've ever seen on amateur YouTube channels.

My Oscar nomination for "Best Foreign Film" of 2010 is this "jewel" I believe hails from the Sussex region of Great Britain (Brighton). A true "cinematic masterpiece" and "modern classic" if I've even seen one. I'd like to see a "Director's Cut" version down the road!:

The Icy Street Corner Of Doom

Icy Street Corner of Doom

To quote: "Hands in pockets. Bad combination." I agree.

I did notice on my Firefox 3.6.16 and Firefox 4 Beta -- running on 64-bit Windows 7, -- that often the text-format settings to my posts weird out. Firefox 3.6.16 is by far my primary browser, but I will try the boards with a couple of my other web browsers: Google Chrome 10.0.648.204, and Opera 11.01. I also have the current Safari and the latest, but not greatest, Internet Explorer. Also in the arsenal is Mozilla's Sea Monkey 2.0.13, but I'm not one for those "email client and web browser all-in-one apps."

After being a Macintosh user since 1985 and switching to Windows in 2009, I've just gotten used to conventionally placed menus. That's a one thing about Google Chrome that "kind of" slows me down. But If I used it more, I'd get more "used to that." But, I will say Chrome is fairly peppy and lean.

And I run the latest Java updates as they become available.
-------------------------
Sidenote: I use Firefox mainly because of its expansion capabilities. I prefer the Mozilla suite of apps, and once I used Thunderbird 3.x.x for email, I never looked back. By the way, those used to using Apple iTunes on Windows may want to try Songbird for online streaming and music playing. It also has a fairly good HTML browser built-in as well. But getting it to support flash and Silverlite are another story.

3/24/11 GN/John Rappaport.

Guest: In 1959 this guy came around to talk to me, he was 75 years old and that's what he did, he traveled and talked to people about the history of genetic engineering.

GN:  So, is he still around? (Silence)  I guess not...

(Painkillers?)

Anagrammy

In a word: LOL!
------------------
I admit I'm not good at math, but my calculator shows that 2011 minus 1959 equals 52. So, if that man is still around, at age 75 in 1959, he'd he celebrating his 127th birthday this year!

That's a lot of candles on his birthday cake, all!

I remember Mr. Noory once tell a guest that he had a speech impairment as a child. Then, speaking in a predominate lisp,  Noory did an impression of what he sounded like as youth.

So perhaps he's had trouble with pronunciation since then. It's odd, though, that such who've have such speech impairments would go into broadcasting.

It seems to me at times that Noory can be absent minded. Sometimes, I've known bright people who are like that too. Or he's become too regimented in his role as a host. It's hard to tell.

But, I conclude, when you get high ratings, that few such trivialities matter. That's obviously the nature of the business.

Enough said. Mr. George Noory has dragged Coast-To-Coast AM to the shameless levels of nonsensical science, reason or ration. It's all about ratings and advertisers.

Enough of it. Such may fool the ignorant masses, but they don't fool me.

If it wasn't for The Jim Rome Show these days, I'd write off Premiere Radio Networks. And don't forget their "fake caller" bit that was exposed recently. Shows what that network is made of:

Quote from: Michael V. on February 24, 2011, 01:11:19 PM
i thought one of the guys involved in this film came out and admitted the whole thing to be a hoax.  i saw an interview in which he said it.

Yes, that could be true. But such may be saying it was a hoax to try and cash in on it. I know the people who claimed to be behind a hoax, and they never convinced me.

And I saw the self-professed hoaxer's walk superimposed beside that of the subject of the film. But such can be called "reverse engineering." Once you have something, you can imitate or mimic what's there, and then your claims can have a measure of credibility.

Examine closely online, as I have, the most sophisticated costumes created for the "The Planet of The Apes" movie series. Now, examine the astro-photogragher  M.K. Davis' enhancement of the subject in that film, and its facial features:

And, for all fun, pull an Art Bell as I do. View that image -- and zoom in in it -- with the bumper song Waterloo by ABBA.

"Couldn't escape if I wanted to." Ha!

Quote from: b_dubb on February 22, 2011, 02:24:12 PM
the horse was spooked?  i'm not convinced.  the shot is very stable for a handheld camera.  i don't think you could get a decent shot like this if you were on a horse let alone a spooked horse.  that film was shot in the 60's.  focus by hand.  lot's of fine motor movements.  with a heavy piece of equipment (camera). 

Dear b_dubb:

From what I recall Roger Patterson saying, he was first thrown to the ground by the horse, and then got the camera to film the subject. So, as I recall his statement, he was dismounted at the time of the filming.

Although I learned to ride, such as Mr. Patterson are real cowboys. They know how to deal with rearing animals as horsemen, and I didn't doubt what he said happened could have happened.

But that's just me.

Dear Hal 9000:

There's no way any words of your loss are inappropriate in these forums. Not to me. On the contrary, I understand the human condition enough to know that there's no way I can grasp what you're feeling.

Please know, every day, I fear this about my own mother. She is in her mid-70s. She survived one serious heart attack last year. And, my friend, I know that I will someday have to experience what you're feeling. And then, and only then, will I know just who and what she was. And the true person she molded me into. So her value will be known to me forever, and for all time.

I can be foolish, Mr. Hal 9000. I thought my parents would live forever. I know I'll be proved wrong.

I understand why you visit these boards, my friend. I do it for the same reasons as you. People can be petty. People can lack perspective on what matters in life. That is something I get tired of. As I do, no doubt, and those like you who see further.

Please know what I think, anyway, Hal 9000. All people die. That is inevitable. But remember something always, friend, when such people are made of something -- as your mother was -- such live forever.

And there's no material thing worth more than eternal life. That's granted -- and reserved -- to those of truth, character, sacrifice, humanity and compassion as your mother held in her life.

See how she inspired you so. She contributed to the great spiritual plain that serves to make our world, mankind and our existence better. And she's instilled this in you.

I won't forget what you wrote, my friend.

I admit I no longer listen to Coast-To-AM, or ABC News-Talk Radio (Conservatives). I'm not enough of a dead-brain person to think they have anything of value to impart to my aging -- yet growing -- brain these days.

Instead, I tune into Fox-Sports Radio. The only program it airs that I tune out overnight is that J.T. The Brick. He sounds like a typical Conservative (with Mark Levin's "disagree with me and you're an idiot or moron approach to American free speech) and not a true sports guy. When his program comes on, I switch over to ESPN Radio. But Ben Maller overnight on Fox radio -- Friday, Saturday -- and his gig on Sunday afternoons are great.

And although The Jim Rome Show is a Premiere Radio Networks syndication, it's still a hoot. Often silly and immature at times, but that's part of the gig. Rome has his niche, and handles it well.

Ben Maller gets some nutty callers on overnight radio, but that lot has more credibility than many I've heard on Coast-To-Coast AM. And, at least, Maller's callers are less nonsensical than the majority of guests I've heard in recent times on Coast-To-Coast AM.

Check out The Ben Maller Show on Fox-Sports Radio with Mr. Maller, Mr. Steve DeSeager, and producer Miranda Morena tonight, and find sanity, entertaining, informative and just plain good talk-radio.

Mr. Cunningham is big on "self exalting." I can see right through him, and the fact he's won some Marconi Award proves to me the dumbing of America that becoming all too common as people look to others to form their views.

I've learned through trying life experiences not to give credibility to those declaring themselves to be "Great Americans." Which he does. I've known true, brave and capable men who were the most humble. Mr. Cunningham "talks the talk," but I suspect -- when left to his own and on his own under true duress -- can't walk the walk.

I've heard Mr. Cunningham mock the disabled as "making excuses." I ponder how well this man could hold up under a life-threatening condition that would cost him a lower-leg, for example. As what happened to me. And I have a good enough grasp of human nature to know that answer for myself. I admit, all, right now I cannot "walk the walk."

Because I can't walk at all.

If such as him feel using our Social-Security Disability to survive for now (after paying into SSD Insurance for 30 years in corporate America) is draining this country, I suggest he consider the human experience and our nation's system first and foremost.

Mr. Cunningham is among those like Mr. Sean Hannity. Agreed. They talk. And talk. And talk more. And have life experiences many others have, and seem to feel they're self-anointed as exemplary and outstanding Americans. Or human beings, for that matter. But, as with their colleagues, we don't get to see just who and what they are. Or what they're really made of, when the speeches, preaching and theoretic runs their course.

Too many hide behind the U.S. Flag, "the troops," or whoever they can. I don't and will not. I hide nothing from anyone. It is that way, and only that way, that truly great things -- using their own words -- can happen. 

 Program Idea: Exploring The Phenomenon "photosensitive epilepsy"

This is a subject idea I submitted to the Coast-To-Coast AM program last October, but, as usual, never heard anything back. So, I throw this out to those here since these boards seem deeper than than program itself these days.

While "cruising" the Internet one night, I stumbled upon a phenomenon called "photosensitive epilepsy." And I admit it's something I never heard of before. Now, being 48, I remember the use of "subliminal advertising" years ago, which I believe used the brief flashing of images and text to instill a visual message to unsuspecting viewers. And, if I also remember correctly, it was eventually banned from television and film medias.

But, from what I read online at various sites, photosensitive epilepsy is different. And can be downright dangerous. And since such deals with alternative subjects, I feel a Coast To Coast AM  program discussing this phenomenon might fit the "Psychology & Mind" subject category.

Please know I do not have or watch television anymore. But I did for many years. But, in being away from it for two-and-a-half years now, I do see the difference in my mind and thinking. I rely on talk radio exclusively, where things are heard and not seen. And I fondly remember the significance of radio when I was a boy, and it assisted in molded my creative nature.

I feel too many visuals distract from the actual message. As such, I feel I have a better grasp of the words, concepts or heart of the matter being presented. Now, that's just me, and my view.

But, I've been around numerous people who do seem to become fixated by television. I've noticed how absent minded they act in life. How they seem to not be able -- or want -- to create for themselves.

Strange, Incredible "Pokémon Incident" Got My Attention
I found out about a strange case of "photosensitive epilepsy" that occurred during a Japanese television broadcast in December 1997. There are lots of information online about this infamous "Pokémon Incident," including this CNN article:

http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9712/17/japan.cartoon/index.html

I have never seen any Pokémon material, and I never heard of this case before. But, the information about the incident got my attention. Why? It does seem "photosensitive epilepsy" is both a real and powerful phenomenon that reveals more about how our brains work. It could be an interesting study.

Now, I admit I didn't watch the particular Pokémon clip that posted online. Apparently, it was this brief bit that triggered the damage. Perhaps I will eventually, but how do I know I won't drop right over from it? Ha! Take your chances on that one, all.

I understood that Japanese broadcasting regulators required that clip to be modified from that episode for all future viewings. 

Theoretical Possibilities For Applied "Photosensitive Epilepsy"
Seriously, I feel "photosensitive epilepsy" could be explored further on a program with certain considerations -- and questions -- in mind:

Psychological Warfare: Could such actually be used by some to control or subjugate others? Could it be applied as a weapon, in some form?

If so, do any researchers have any evidence that the military or intelligence divisions have experimented with it? Again, perhaps as a weapon against unsuspecting enemy? If so, on what scale? What would be the logistics? Imagine such a display carried out from the sky directed over a wide range on numerous people below?

Again, this is just my theory, but I won't put it past people with resources or power to try it.

Possible UFO, Extraterrestrial Use
Often, I hear those who witnessed UFO craft describe certain lighting. Series of sequential -- perhaps flashing -- lights, including several colors. Now, is it theoretically possible that such beings are using "photosensitive epilepsy" somehow to perhaps mesmerize other beings? I know this sounds loony on my part, but welcome to the world of independent thought. I've yet to hear UFO researchers on the program bring up that possible tie-in to that lighting and "photosensitive epilepsy."

I know that's a stretch. But, I ask, note the stories some UFO witnesses -- and supposed abductees -- tell of the effect. Some relate an almost hypnotic, altered state. Some relate memory loss, or confusion. Could these beings both know of and employ "photosensitive epilepsy?"

In Any Event, Might Make A Good Subject Matter
In conclusion, I'll state I wanted to share this because I've yet to hear it discussed on Coast To Coast AM. Others may be like myself. Now, I admit I was introduced to the program in only early 2008. It may have either been done or the concept dismissed.

But, as I feel, this phenomenon is something significant. And it could be dangerous, as the "Pokémon Incident" proved. It was hard for me to believe before tonight that a mere visual clip on a television broadcast can actually cause mass effects as it did. And trigger physical ailments, nausea, and seizures among a varied group of people?

The vast majority of those affected, as I understood from online articles, were people who medical professionals described as not being susceptible to "photosensitive epilepsy." The, how could that have happened? Even though it occurred mostly in children, I understood it even affected adults, some being elderly.

Obviously, the phenomenon is both real, unpredictable and, unfortunately when misused or underestimated, seemingly downright dangerous.
----------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Again, I let people decide for themselves whether they view the original clip. I didn't take that chance myself, but that's just me.

ADDED SIDE NOTE: This is a nonsensical connection, obviously a coincidence. Roughly two days after I submitted the above concept, I heard Mr. George Noory state during the program that one of his staff members apparently had something happen to him at the studio. If I remember correctly, Noory stated the staffer was taken to the hospital immediately, but no cause was found of his sudden affliction. It was attributed to a possible anxiety attack. Now, I couldn't help but think at the time: Did he check out that Pokémon video and sustain photosensitive epilepsy?

(KNAPP VERSION:)

“Good evening everyone, you’re in the right place at the right time. This is Coast to Coast AM. Coming at you, blasting out of the Mojave Desert like a sirocco, blazing across the land, into your town, into your home, slamming into your radio like a supercharged nano particle of dark energy.

You’ve arrived at a nexus point, a crossroads of shadow and light, a phantasmic oracle market place of ideas and blasphemies, grand melting pot of cultures and subcultures, from the benign to the bizarre, all on the same path searching for breadcrumbs of cosmic understanding and hoping we’ll be able to follow the trail back to where we started. Greetings from the boldest, bawdiest most outrageous city in the world, the planetary capital of sun, fun, sin, sex and secrets, my not so humble hometown, Las Vegas, Nevada.

My name is George Knapp, your occasional host, your designated driver of the airwaves, and moderator of tonight’s upcoming cacophony of conversation. Glad to be with you once again.”

Beautiful. Thanks for the quote, Marc Knight. It's beautiful, man (quoting Mr. Tony Bruno, Into The Night, Fox-Sports Radio)

Quote from: b_dubb on February 22, 2011, 06:09:39 PM
I still like C2C weekends. The recent Knapp show was great!

Agreed. But help me out, guys. From my memory -- and I cannot cheat and look it up -- doesn't his intro say something to the effect: "Coming to you from the Mohave Desert of Las Vegas, Nevada, slamming into your radios like a Sirocco." Something like that. Mr. Knapp is class. True class.

Quote from: b_dubb on February 22, 2011, 09:36:39 PM

Bob Heironimus

Enough said. Remember that in the United States, you can't libel the dead like Roger Patterson.

Bob Heironimus is a joke. He is "reverse engineering" that walk, as I can do, too.

He is a fraud. I never liked Bob Heironimus. He was not in some suit. Where's tht suit, buddy boy? Where? Mr. John Chambers of Hollywood would have paid good money for it. Good money. With the backing of 20th Century Fox Pictures. Good money for that "suit."

If Roger Patterson was some fake, he'd have sold his creation to 20th Century Fox Pictures for good money. But that supposed suit never showed up in motion pictures. Ever.

From what i heard, 20th Century Fox Pictures contacted Roger Patterson after its people saw that film. Wanting to buy that costume from him. Patterson told them: "It wasn't a suit. If not, I'd have sold it to you."

So, Bob Heironimus can sue me if he feels he has the "truth." Good luck proving it. I care not about some polygraph, because that is not admissible evidence.

Bob Heironimus is a fake and a fraud. And a liar.

Besides, he stands only six-foot five. That subject has been reliably measured at seven-foot-three. I saw Bob Heironimus fake film overlay, which has put the subject in smaller reference. To make himself appear taller.

Bob Heironimus is a fraud. And that's that. All he wants is to make money off something, because he is a failure in life. Trust me. He is made of nothing. He only seeks to profit off something because he thinks he can.

As the current Coast To Coast AM practices these days. Making money, no matter what the integrity of what is truth in this world. Money. And that's that.

George Knapp is the only host who has the flavor of the old Coast. 

Anyone else agree?

Anagrammy

Agreed. Mr. Knapp is good.

Quote from: anagrammy on February 12, 2011, 06:46:40 PM

A horse seeing something unfamiliar close up will tend to bolt; however, that same llama at a distance would not cause alarm.  It would be an unusual smell, but not close enough to cause alarm.  Now, we understand Bigfoot is a stinker--has a strong pungent smell which would be completely unfamiliar to the horses.  There were a lot of trees, which means the creature would just look like a moving object of some kind, so you know the horse was relying on smell. 

Man smell is familiar, no reaction because it's a walking man relatively far away (even if dressed weirdly)
Bigfoot is unfamiliar, big reaction

Anagrammy: Good, intelligent, scientific comment. I feel the sense of strong body odor spooked the horses, more than what it could ever do from a man wearing a suit.

I gave up on Mr. Noory and how that "End Of America" ad sent along with the CoastZone newsletter. What a bunch of crooks. That Stansberry & Associates Investment Research company is a disgrace to America.

Yet, such as Premiere Radio Networks both support and endorse them.

Premiere Radio Networks has become a true disgrace to America. But they want nothing more than to make money off fools.

Some of us aren't fools.

Enough said. 

i admit I don't listen to Coast-To-Coast AM anymore. Yet, I admit I tuned into Mr. George Knapp Sunday night (2/20/11) and he did great. I will only listen to the program when Mr. Knapp hosts it.

I admit I dig his intro: Something the the effect: Coming to you from the Great Mohave Desert of Las Vegas, Nevada, slamming into your radio like a Sirocco...Gotta love Mr. Knapp. He's the true Coast-To-Coast AM these days.

Without Mr. Knapp, the program fails.

And Mr. Bill Clinton will turn you on, all, to Christian Dior pinstripe suits. Class. Now, after meeting him, I have a good one myself. Ha!

Give it up.When I was a member of the press core that covered Mr. Clinton  in Arkansas when he was Governor, you'd understand that man a lot better.

He turned me on to Christian Dior suits. And since 1990, I have one myself.

Mr. Clinton was not some druglord. And say what you want -- but you were never part of a press-core that dictated his every move. Say what you want, but I respect Mr. Bill Clinton. Having known and been around him him firsthand.

Mr. Clinton may have been a professional politician, but I enjoyed my time with him.

Every night, though, I hear Fox-Sports Radio claim to have the largest syndicated late-night talk radio program (J.T. The Brick And Tomm Looney). Does the Fox network mean it's the biggest because they have more affiliates?, or the largest audience share?

I've heard Coast To Coast AM -- Premiere Radio Networks -- claim to the largest as well.

It's odd to me, when I sought out radio surveys online, such companies who conduct those surveys seem to deal with music-radio only. Are they're any reputable survey companies dealing with talk-radio?

Several months ago, when addressing a guest about talk-radio:

"It's all about ratings."

Enough said. No matter how incredulous the program. as Coast To Coast AM is these days. And Noory confirms. They care not about substance or plausibility. Only ratings. The business prevails, and the integrity of the program matters not.

Like Mr. Art Bell, I quit it, too. Because I'm made of something.

I gave up on Ian Punnett after hearing him hark on-and-on about his injured foot, and how it was supposedly "hanging off" his lower leg.

If Mr. Punett's limb was that bad off, it would have probably led to a below-the-knee amputation. Which didn't happen. But it's what happened to me. His doctors would have recommended that. So, how bad off could it be? Give me a break.

Yet, himself and his Conservatives allies speak so boldly about how "American" they are. And resolute. And "hard-working." And tough. And so on.

It's those who talk so big about themselves that show they can't handle the slightest duress. And make mountains out of molehills when they feel the simplest of pain or discomfort.

I got tired of it. And excluded Mr. Punnett from my radio listening since.
