never watched that show

It was very odd. Has midgets and a lady that carries a log around like a baby.

Hey Ghost.

Please Heather, if the question/answers beg for a follow up listen for it. Please allow the guest and the listening audience that consideration. You mustn't take broadcasting tips from snoory.

only 25 minutes in buddy...there.is.hope.

Half way in, hopefully we move out of fan territory into interview territory quickly.

fantastic...you have a restraining order with a tree...

That really shouldn't surprise you.

Quote from: trostol on January 28, 2016, 05:10:49 PM
did the two of you have a heart to heart today?

Cupcake banned me from going within 50 feet of the tree. Think of it as a restraining order of sorts.

Quote from: trostol on January 28, 2016, 04:58:51 PM
we can get SciFi and his tree to drive

The tree wouldn't fit and I'm pretty sure it wants to kill me. I can drive though. I like going really fast.

I think the scariest thing at the moment is the Zika Virus. Brazil a Catholic nation is telling it's people to stop having Babies. Spread through mosquitos or Sex. If I were on air I would be all over it. I always said it would be the small things we need to worry over.

Art

Don't forget the alien megastructure story. The comet explanation has been ruled out. We're now fresh out of good explanations for whatever is going with Tabby's star.

Quote from: Art Bell on January 28, 2016, 02:49:12 PM
Trust me, those are the things I am considering. I guess when I say call me a pussy if you want to deflect from it, in some ways it feels that way but I love my Family and felt I had no real choice.

Art

What's weird is that people don't seem to get that. Family comes first, it's very simple. I sometimes think Bellgab is largely populated with bitter divorcees.

Man up, bitch! Still, all that girly whimpering does bring out your natural colouring, which I find both pathetic and - yes, I admit it - sexy. You look so vulnerable I probably wouldn't even need the pills and duct tape this time, although you always say you prefer it that way.

I'll not be gracing your rumpus room for a second time. You'll recall the first "tryst" which was initiated by me saying: "If I were a woman, I wouldn't touch you with a pair of pliers" to which you replied "You're not a woman" and then the whole thing suddenly seemed logical. But in hindsight it was a farce, especially when the table broke.

Quote
It's consistent in that none of it is really checkable or independently verifiable.

Police reports and third party accounts. Again, short of a stalker sitting in a jail cell confessing, you have all the corroboration you would reasonably need to conclude that there is no lie here. Misinterpretation? Possibly. Bad decision making? Certainly. But lying, there's just nothing there to support that.

Quote
Isn't backpedalling from misstatements another way of saying that he was inconsistent? You might want to reform this position, it's up to you.

That has to do with the decisions made in response and mitigating the damage they caused. It has nothing to do with the consistency of the story itself.

Quote
I can't remember what I said, but I would assume it was both wise and deeply learned. I shall stick by my default position, that I am always right.

It was effectively invalidated.

Quote
As far as I know, you don't have to write novels on stage in front of a live audience, so I don't think you can blame the man for continuing to write in private.

It's not the writing, it's the promoting. Public speaking, book signings, readings, etc. which he's done the entire time. Rushdie is a prolific and very active writer. He must not be that scared if he continues to engage in public life.

Quote
I can understand a spontaneous wish to gratify his daughter. It's the posting it on FB that is more of a head-scratcher. Making up a bullshit story on the spur of the moment is also a 'spontaneous human thing'. Just sayin'...

He's always posted that stuff on FB. That's part of the reason he retained his core audience, he never dropped out of contact on social media.

Quote
The explanation I subscribe to is that your typical Missourian is about as much use as a bag of elbows, with the intellect of a table lamp. Because it's a waste of time trying to tell them anything with words you have to point it all out to them, as you would a half-witted bonobo.

I take no issue with this statement.

Reading this last bit back, I don't think we need too much marijuana if you are going to be on set. And stop muscling in on the Falkie action! Oh, and Weaver's too expensive. I've got Kirstie Alley - she's the size of a UFO and I think we can make it work, if she holds still enough for me to apply the spray paint. I think Falkie's miscast as a shark anyway, he's more of a manatee. In fact there's very little between the two these days, except the manatee is marginally more industrious.

Now that you've gutted the budget, we are left with only two possibilities: 1. A reenactment of the Franklin expedition in which we cover everything with sheets to make it look like the arctic, dress Falkie up as a braying walrus, and then run around trying to eat each other for two fucking hours or 2. An exposé of a 1950's Irish catholic parish known as St. Muckanaghederdauhaulia where you play a randy monsignor chasing Sister Falkie, whom to your surprise you find out is actually a man, but you go ahead with it anyway. I'll leave it up to you, but I can already tell you that we won't be taking home the Palme d'Or.

Scifi..try not to get attacked by any trees

I should have never told you. Revenge comes tomorrow when I get gas for the chainsaw. I'll tell you all about it in PM.

On that note, I'm off to bed too. Nite all.

Quote from: malachi.martini on January 28, 2016, 03:19:39 AM
This needs to be your avatar SciFiAuthor, at least for a little.

Have to change it though and replace the human with Noory's head.

really..every mcdonalds outside the US looks way better lol

https://www.mcdonalds.fr/

Look closely at the French one. They use the French word for cheese, fromage, for the higher end burgers but they use the word 'cheese' for the American-style stuff lol

Quote from: trostol on January 28, 2016, 03:11:43 AM
my browser translates...take that flipper!!!!

Elitist. Typical R'leyhian.

Yeah, see, I can't read Japanese but I saw a smiling guy pointing to a "big mac" that has a layer of white shit that we don't have. Think pureed octopus mixed with some kind of poisonous fish.

Basically, I'm more sensitive than 99.32% of the world population.

Sensitive in what way?

Quote from: trostol on January 28, 2016, 03:03:22 AM
holy crap..japan has a 48 piece mcnuggets lol

Good lord. I'd like to see the sauces they offer with it. I guarantee it won't be fit for western tastes.

Quote from: Jackstar on January 28, 2016, 03:02:18 AM

You insensitive bastard.

Quote from: Dr. MD MD on January 28, 2016, 02:56:45 AM
Hey, at least they're not trying to use you as missiles with bombs strapped to your backs anymore. Baby steps 

Oh they do. When it became politically incorrect to use real dolphins, well ...

Quote from: Dr. MD MD on January 28, 2016, 02:50:55 AM
He wasn't born with it like you, SciFi. He earned through dedication to irrational self-destruction 

Actually, I did it with a power drill. Stupid government secret projects involving turning humans into dolphins. Well, let's say they forgot one tiny detail.

Quote from: Morgus on January 28, 2016, 02:45:29 AM
The negative human group the guest is referring to, must be the one headed up by the Cigarette Smoking Man who now has a "blowhole" ? 

Yes, Morgus . . . a blow hole.

Wow, she just shut Hoagland up. Even he doesn't know how to deal with a chick like this.

Quote from: trostol on January 28, 2016, 02:06:41 AM
whats up tree boy

You leave the tree out of this. The injuries kinda hurt. It's a bruise.

Hi everybody.

If incapacitating me with laughter is a victory condition, you just broke the bank.

Quote from: Jackstar on January 28, 2016, 01:54:03 AM
Get ready for this: I don't even smoke anymore. I just roll around in it and then eat it. Smoking is a waste! True story.

I'm like that with cigarettes.

didnt he call in the spec sheet?

That was George Noory. What a classic that was lol. "George your show fucking sucks!!!!!"

Quote from: Jackstar on January 28, 2016, 01:39:15 AM
I've got a huge bag full of it right here--it's possible I simply bought it all. Sorry, Dude.

You sicken me. Not because of the pot smoking, it's just the date rape drugs kicking in.

Quote from: The King of Kings on January 28, 2016, 01:31:23 AM
I agree with you on theory, but I doubt Art would be up for a slightly hostile two hour long interview grilling.

Would that even be good radio?  I don't know.  I would rather hear him in an informal setting with fans.

Yes, of course the usual "fandom" will be there, but so what.  Gabcast isn't 20/20 investigative journalism, it's fluff radio about an artbell fan website.

It's happened before. Nov. 12, 2013 Gabcast when he quit Dark Matter.
