George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[Darisi]

Cleo, u curse like an adolescent.       Awkward!

[Darisi]

Cleo, I appreciate ur kind sentiment, hpeeved I'm currently in a long term relationship.  So unfortunately I can only offer u my strictly platonic hand in friendship.  I know this is tough for u but I'm trying to let u down easy.  Best Wishes!

Looks like Lazy Noory is taking yet another Friday night off next week - John Wells mentioned he was hosting Friday and Saturday next weekend...

[rangers1919]

You know what I would like Noory to ask (although it would be far better for Ian to handle)? I would like him to ask any one of his End Time maniacs why in the Bible Jesus said he would return to earth, and it would be the End Times, before the generation he was speaking to had passed.

Thanks for the good new first.

Anytime w/o Snoory is good news.  Then on to the bad......

[PortlandDangler]

How can you host a talk show like C2C and not question the guests? George's style feels like he believes whatever the guest tells him. Nobody is saying host need to interrogate, but at least investigate claims futher and to the point, not some random comment like "was it a portal" WTF? For Myself it's extremely irritating when a good call goes through and George seems like he's not even interested in the call and pushes said call into a quick resolution of his own design instead of letting the call play out. Am I crazy? I have not listened to the show for about a year in a half so maybe he has made some improvement in that area.

I was late to notice the dry-boring nature of the current show layout. I really started to struggle listening in 09'. It's kinda hard to break a routine you have had for 11 yrs. I really highly doubt anything is going to change as long as the show gets sponsors. Also, I remember hearing awhile back about George saying he wasn't going to leave the mic. untill he dies or somthing to that effect.

Untill then I'm going to keep reading this thread.

.........For Myself it's extremely irritating when a good call goes through and George seems like he's not even interested in the call and pushes said call into a quick resolution of his own design instead of letting the call play out. Am I crazy? .......

No, you're not crazy.  I despise how Noory handles most of the callers.  Lack of play-out for the interesting ones, too many boring ones getting drug-out, sometimes with Noory's stupid, juvenile comments or antics, and the quick cut-offs, with George then rambling on with his mind-numbing pontifications.  It's hard to believe he has a degree in Communications.

Here's a quote from the Noory Wiki article:

"In an article about Noory published in the news magazine The Atlantic, Timothy Lavin wrote that "Noory can be an uneven broadcaster, sometimes seems to not pay full attention to his guests, offers strangely obvious commentary, and often lets clearly delusional or pseudoscientific assertions slide by without challenge."

Here's a new one for me from Wiki:

"Noory and his partners in Norcom Restaurants opened a restaurant, Cafe Marrakesh and Oasis Bar, in Brentwood, Mo. in 1987. The restaurant's theme revolved around a fictional Englishman named Col. William Berry, who opened a restaurant following an exciting secret mission to Marrakesh."

  Does that ever sound like Noory, ...a fictional Englishman name Col. William Berry..... following an exciting secret mission to Marrakesh??   Maybe Georgie should open a Mexican restaurant based upon his alleged kidnappers dumping him at the first opportunity after they'd realized what a mistake they'd made.

[Juan]

When I heard the Mexican kidnapping story I thought of The Ransom of Red Chief.

"IT LOOKED like a good thing: but wait till I tell you. We were down South, in Alabama -- Bill Driscoll and myself -- when this kidnapping idea struck us. It was, as Bill afterward expressed it, "during a moment of temporary mental apparition"; but we didn't find that out till later."

And so forth.

Glad to see this forum is back up after being down earlier today and last night.
I thought maybe Noory finally got his network lawyers to get the website taken down with a bogus slander lawsuit or something...

That was my first thought as well. Then I became somewhat paranoid and thought MV banned moi for reasons unknown.

And listen, there aint nothin' bogus about our slander! Our slander is 100% proof...like Jamaican rum or Macon County moonshine.

Which brings to mind for me this 'Rapture' thing. I'm all for it if it occurs at 3:00 a.m. my time...thus the freeways will be a breeze, and the parking will be plenty down at the supermarket, plus no long lines at the checkout lanes. Raise the bible thumpers up and leave us heathens with a smooth drive on the express lanes.

[ziznak]

I'm waiting for MV's rant on the site being down... think it had something to do with permissions wherever CG is hosted but... can't wait to hear it from the horse himself!

where ya at MV?

GEORGE NOORY SUX FAT TURMERIC FILLED SAUSAGES

[coaster]

Jesus really should of set a date. He could of made all this rapture stuff a hell of a lot easier.
edit-I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought they were banned. I wasn't really aware at how many times I visit this site throughout the night until I tried and it wouldn't come up. Sure glad its back though.

[UnscreenedCaller]

I thought maybe Noory called upon the power of his mind to take coastgab down, but then you'd have the combination of Noory and mind..... Yeah, probably just a server glitch.

[Darisi]

I was really confused, I thought that "wild & crazy" Cleo had me banned from the site.  Whew!

DOH! I posted a new thread about the Forbidden/404 message I was getting over at "Bugs" (the location here, not the con-man who told the tale about killing Bigfoots, uh, -feet). I figured it would be wrong to clutter up the Compendium, and no one would post anything here about a connection problem.

Silly me. I should have remembered: the George Noory Sucks - The Definitive Compendium is the live, beating heart of Coastgab; the raison d'être of the site;  the sine qua non; the General Store and post office of our community.

And Morgus, I thought it might have been a DOS attack by a misguided Ute or some other kind of hackerization by someone who has burned copies of Noory's elvis performance.

*edit* Okay, I thought I had committed some unforgivable sin myself.

Yep, this compendium here is our very own Petticoast Junction. Sam Drucker's general store.

I guess Noory is the Mr. Haney we have to tolerate.  Mr. Haney sure is a lot more talented and funnier, though.

I'm trying to imagine what that place must've looked like on the inside.  Yeesh.

[ItsOver]

I'm thinking something like a psychedelic North African Chuck E. Cheese, T.G.I. Friday hybrid, with lots of cheap Persian rugs and pictures of Noory dressed as the Colonel hanging on the walls.  All the wait staff would of course be wearing fez hats and pushing the Noory camel ham, with special Moroccan sauce.

Sam Drucker was on Green Acres too, all set in Hooterville.
I always wondered if that town was named after the Petticoat Junction daughters and their 'hooters'

Noory just did another of his celebrity encounter bragging.
He told his guest that he encountered Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt - but said Larry wouldn't respond to him after he waved at him...

[NoMoreNoory]

Before tonight's show, we caught the end of the repeat of Friday's open lines and heard Gorgeous George observe:

'Sometimes, cheetahs don't change their spots.'

It's hard to know where to start breaking that nonsense down. In the first place, it is, of course, leopards who don't change their spots, not cheetahs. And secondly, the whole point is that they don't change their spots. Ever. Not sometimes. Never. Noory's mangling implies that sometimes, cheetahs DO change their spots. Indeed, the statement that sometimes they don't would suggest that more often than not, cheetahs do change their spots.

Also, a caller asked if George was familiar with the Ghost Radar app. Noory professed his ignorance. Now, we are very familiar with it, not least from having been on Ghost Hunts at the Trans-Allegheny Asylum in West Virginia and the Mansfield Reformatory in Ohio where almost everybody was using it. Are we right in thinking that Snooron was supposedly recently on a Ghost Hunt at Eastern State Penitentiary in Pennsylvania. How could he possibly have done that and be unaware of the app? I bet he  turned up for the 'Meet And Greet' and beggared off back to his hotel. Hilariously, he said he would see if his 'staff' could 'manage to download it'. Good luck, Tommy and Lisa. It's a major undertaking going to the App Store, searching 'Ghost Radar' and tapping 'Purchase'. Sometimes it can take days to complete the process.

Of course it was their hooters! Or at least that's the way my fevered kid's imagination had it. You don't know how much time I spent fantasizing about it. That wasn't just three sisters taking a bath; it was some kind of decadent lewdness concealed by the wood of that water tank. Those three girls were obviously nymphos or on Spanish Fly to get naked like that in front to all the crew. Because they had to really be naked: it was the law or something. Man, what went on before and after the stills were taken?! ORGY!!!

Yep, you had to have a vivid imagination back in the days when, uh, "visual stimuli" was very difficult for a kid to find. Before there were ubiquitous displays of all manner of fornication, available at a finger touch. Heck, I remember when the Hawaii Five-O title sequence was the highlight of my night! All because of...



That one little shot of the hula dancer. You had to be quick, because it only lasted an instant: VCR was still more than a decade in the future.

Forget our grandparents' stories of walking to school 10 miles every day - we Boomers had no porn! Just how did we survive something like that? Yeah, go ahead and run those ads with the pics of South American orphans with the cleft palates now, buster, and talk about who had it tough. I'll carry the scars to my grave.

Obviously Noory didn't know it's considered bad form to publicly acknowledge someone when you're cruising a gay peep show.

George is talking with Richard Belzer who's an actor on Law & Order: SVU.  He also has a book out about conspiracies and is the primary reason he's on the show. George mentioned the Aurora, CO shooting, adding that immediately after the tragedy people were talking about the killer being manipulated by mind control, rather than believing it was a nut-job on a rampage. If George would listen to his own putrid show he would have heard his favorite boy, John B.elieve Wells, talking about it as if it were fact several times during the past few weeks. And George himself said he was hesitant but obviously anxious to bring it up. Duh.

Irritatingly, as only George can do, he is asking rapid fire questions, frequently interrupting by not giving Belzer enough time to elicit a thoughtful response before the next question arises. But you can hear the excitement in George's voice, because he's with one of his own kind.  :

Hold on, James Dobson and Ted Bundy(born 11/24/46 beginning of boomer time) have said that "easy to get" porn what was caused young Ted to go awry and kill all those girls. It was the horrific porn he was exposed to as a lad in the 50's/60's.  : ..sure it was, Ted, sure it was.

           As someone born a year after "Hustler" was launched, I'm unfamiliar with the world you grew up in. Everything has been highly sexualized during my time here and we were exposed early.

        On Saturday, May 7, 1983, the day before my first communion, myself and two other local n'er do wells were playing ball in a vacant lot/field when we found two boxes placed inconspicuously at the far end of the field. The contents were a treasure trove. It was basically every Penthouse/Playboy magazine from 1975-1981-in good condition. I assume some guy was getting married/having kids and was forced into this abandonment. Whatever, it was a "Holy shit" moment for us as we devised a plan to get the contraband into our houses without detection. Since I was the biggest and most irascible, I had first pick of the stash. I ended up getting about 30 magazines in all.

          Imagine some poor bastard just putting them there about 10 minutes before expecting to return and find them...whoops. So at age 7, I basically had a substantive collection of nudie mags without them being bequeathed by an older brother. Maybe the last bit of good luck I had.

sNoory was fascinated by the death photos of Marilyn Monroe. sNoory and death - maybe he's foreshadowing his own closer association.
