Something like that seems more than plausible.

And enjoyable.

Thank you misssirveau for the story, perceptive and well written,  and MV, for the "hint" to change my avatar....again.

huh? I never said a word.

Cancer would be fun,
When compared to the George fog,
Give me a shit bag.

Because of the primary subject matter (a retired host and an ever unpopular version of C2C) perhaps you should consider a broader scope for the forum such as talk radio in genral.

this seems like a solid idea... and one i will likely end up implementing.

Deadliest Catch has been doing that since day one. It's for a change.

what's even worse is that the screen capture above is not from deadliest catch.  it's from a copy-cat show called "swords"... as in sword fish.  bleh.

Facebook group? Myspace page(quit laughing dammit)? I stumbled upon the forum while looking for Art Bell clips, lurked about for a bit and said "Damn this is a kick ass forum! I'm gonna sign up"  The fact that this is an easy going group of people and no drama certainly adds to the capability for the forum to grow.

the problem with the whole facebook thing is that i don't have the time to manage and/or maintain it.

Will we get paid in beer? If so let me know and I'll PM you my preferred brands......

you'll get paid in small vials filled with the tears of disappointed children.

i'm sick of this stupid, formulaic approach to reality shows where the intro rolls and proceeds to show the participants, all with angry faces, standing with their arms crossed like tough guys.  fucking wankers.

did u guys notice the nytimes story deliberately left out alex jones' name?  haha.

Is it not true, that CoastGab is a steadily growing, lil' chubby baby?

yeah, it's steadily growing (with occasional peaks and valleys), but it hasn't exactly grown at the rate i'd hoped.  i thought by now (after almost three years) that this forum would be far busier than it is. you guys need to do some guerrilla advertising around the net for us when the opportunity presents its self.

We've been toying with the idea of taking some kind of group action--if Morphia echoes your sentiments as well.  Her post is succinct and maybe she could just take out the part about Art's post on Fab Forum being clearly about Coast (don't want to discourage Art from communicating further using that means).

Otherwise, dropping streamlink is the only action we can take, and that makes us a Coast Outsider (smirk).

Anagrammy

the problem is, no matter what we do, there are not enough of us on this forum to make a difference.  we just don't have the numbers.  with the numbers our community gets, it would be difficult even to make it APPEAR as if we have any kind of power.  the solution?  we need more people participating on this forum.  we need more new blood and more regular participation from the veterans.  i encourage all of you to find people who might be interested in using this forum and encourage them to post regularly.  that's the first step.

In fact, I think I will print Morphia's post and mail it to Premier.

haha

Noory said that Travis Walton disappeared for 5 days in 1975. He went on to tell how Jimmy Hoffa also disappeared in 1975 with Georgie being the last person to interview him.  He said that Travis returned while Jimmy never returned.

jeeze.  that's just absolute douche city.

this should give you a pretty good idea

i have never seen an episode of this show.

It isnt popular to post the supposition that medicine may be better served with a socialist point of view on a mostly libertarian forum but so be it. Like it or not it is true. Mental illness does not lend well to those that can hold down jobs, forget the high paying ones.

it might surprise you, but i agree with you totally on the value of socialized medicine.  i think it has a place along with our capitalistic system.  i just don't want people to be forced to participate in that system if they would rather go the private route and pay for care themselves... without government interference.


we can talk about "personal responsibility" and all of that law-and-order shit until we're blue in the face, but how is a nut supposed to find and keep a job that pays well enough and provides insurance benefits that are sufficient to sustain treatment for psychological issues?  hell, it's probably common for people to lose their jobs shortly after their employer learns of the ongoing treatment of their condition.  "johnson, i want you to fire him.  we don't need a nut working for us."


for whatever reason, we place very little emphasis on treating psychological afflictions in this country.  see all those homeless people digging around for garbage in your city?  those people would have been committed to a nut house only a few decades ago.  at some point, in the name of compassion or civil rights, we stopped doing that.  well, i don't see a lot of compassion in letting a schizophrenic dig through a dumpster just because he's too bat-shit crazy to have a job.

I have tried to register with that site a few times and have always been told something to the effect of "not accepting registrations". Whats up with that?

if ever a forum was started for the purpose of making a loser feel powerful, nut-hawk zone apparently is it.

Did anyone catch his interview with Charlie Sheen? It got Two and a Half Men's production suspended, apparently. That show should have been axed years ago. Anyway, Charlie Sheen is clearly out of his gourd.

what were the highlights of the interview?

Quote from: Max_TO on February 24, 2011, 09:04:02 PM
...I really don't think he wants people to know Art has left .

i think that's the heart of the matter.  there's a lot of money at stake.  lots of streamlink subscribers continue to pay on the assumption they will catch art from time to time.  lots of affiliates probably carry the show expecting art to grace their airwaves from time to time.  it's a big selling point.  without art... it's all greatly devalued.

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.

i'm not aware of anything.  sorry.

i vote that we call the group "Buck O' Five"

that, my friend, is a stroke of genius.

What topics would you like to hear on C2C? If this were a request board for the show, what would you like?

i'm so long out of touch with the show that i would be unaware of what they're doing, no matter what it is.  also, regardless of what topics they cover, it won't make a difference for me so long as art isn't the host.

Something for the Beck haters(myself included) http://boards.radio-info.com/smf/index.php?topic=174797.0

Beck got his start here in the Tampa Market, the thread I linked to is a pretty good read.

that certainly was interesting.  thanks for the link.

imagine that you've been fighting the Japanese ... island hopping ... seen scores of men just like you being destroyed in unspeakable horror ... seen the POW's freed from prison camps clinging to life ... the reality of invading Japan would've been too much to consider.  we would never have been able to get Japan to surrender unconditionally without the use of nukes.  i don't think revenge enters into the decision. it was about saving American lives

in large part, i think you're right.

Many Minds - Thermo Nuclear War (Pre-Apocalypse)

great work.  you definitely know wtf you're doing.


i'd advise people to listen to it with the resolution at 480p.  far more dynamic range than youtube's default 360p.


and were those toy models you were flaming in the video, or did you actually torch a city full of gargoyles and green men?
