George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

George Noory Comes Home

I'm speechless

I'm amazed. Thank you for posting. How bizarre. Frightening that people paid over $100 to attend this show that is reminiscent of some really bad lounge act in a former Red Lion hotel near the airport decades ago. And his pallor and suit selection makes him look like an undertaker. Wow. I'm tempted to see if anyone recorded the whole show and put it out 'somewhere' in the torrent or interweb world. It is sort of unintended comedy.

Good Dave is on Saturday though.  Looks like Arthur Conan Doyle will be the subject of discussion.

That sounds cool.  It might make up for Bad Dave's failed interview some time ago with a different gothic lit. expert.  Guest had deep knowledge of Doyle, Lovecraft, Stoker, Poe, Verne, etc. ... kept getting questions about movies.

With, Jorch, what isn't? )

Damn George, at least hire an escort! That land whale burns my eyes, like pizza rolls burn your mouth...

Not interested in seeing it even if I get Windows working right again, but I'd like to know, what was the concept?  Like, here's a guy you've been listening to on the radio, does that pique your curiosity enough to pay good $ to see what kind of show he'd put on?  Is he as funny as Shatner "singing"?

[Dateline]

Norry, pleassse get some new jokes.

Why is it Jorch cannot hold over a guest if they have something left to say? I don't understand it, I mean this is a major flaw with this show. He always badly wants to unload a guest only to go over to a mediocre open lines topic like, even though in this case it's one of his favorite, "people acting crazy" which he TOTALLY EXAGGERATES! He rudely makes them try to spit something out fast in being pressed for time often stumbling over themselves to do it. What a jerk!

Oh excuse me, I am mistaken, he's calling the topic "Whacked Out People".

... the show which sent me over the proverbial edge and then onto the next logical destination, bellgab, was George's friggin lamentable 10th anniv. back in Jan. '13.  That's right, my bellgab anniverseries are inextricably tied to Noory's at c2c.  It's a dark, twisted connection, but yep, there it is.   I've come to accept these things. 

I liked Ancient Aliens when it first came out, they went to some interesting sites, took some great video. 

I was in the kitchen getting something, and there came the dumb comments by a boringly familiar voice - ''sumpthins go-win on'', ''it's fascinate-een''.  George Fucking Nooron trying to ruin another show I liked.  Why?  I googled 'George Noory Sucks' and found the original thread at GPL. 

I think Sybil was posting something about getting out of a speeding ticket by writing a letter to the judge, explaining that George Noory had just come on the air and she desperately wanted to get home and out of the car. 

[trostol]

ugh...now i remember why i stopped listening to him

[UFQuack]

He's talking about Art Bell being hospitalized and sick?

It's bad enough that Heather left the show after 2 hours and put on a replay on DMDN.

It's like a clip from the Zippootertooter film!

Yeah, I pretty much agree, Duke. I never really got the chance to meet Armstrong, but I know a couple of people that have and some that knew him. I think it`s amazing that you actually got to sit in a classroom with him! Holy schnikies! That`s one for the grandkids.

From what I understand, Armstrong was just a humble, Midwestern man with Midwestern values. We don`t see that much these days, so it`s a bit of a surprise to folks these days when a fellow just wants to live a quiet life--as Armstrong did.

Now, I did meet Buzz. We did some veteran stuff here in Myrtle Bach a few years ago. Talk about a spark plug! Buzz has a GREAT sense of humor. However, he is as rock solid a scientist as they come. It`s my opinion that he likes to tickle people`s imagination -- always with a twinkle in his eye, and a little smile on his face -- to get them interested in space. I remember him on TV saying there might be some structure on the moon around Mars. He never believed it WAS an obelisk, or building of any kind, but he like to create a little stir to get folk`s attention.

I doubt there was an aero engineering student at Cincinnati during the 70s who didn't go to school there, at least in part, due to Armstrong being on the faculty.  I think I've told the story here before about my first encounter with him, a few weeks into my freshman year I urinated next to him in a men's room in the engineering complex.  I called my dad that night and told him "I pissed next to Neil Armstrong".  He was very proud.

I had him for two classes, Flight Testing I & II, as well as in a few seminars.  He was very approachable, and a very good professor.  Test and quiz questions/problems were often derived from events in his test piloting career, and it was really cool to hear the real world solutions to those problems while going over the exam.  I only spoke to him once after I graduated, in 1988 we were on a flight together from DC to Dayton.  I was humbled he remembered me by name, and somewhat embarrassed to have to hem & haw when he asked what I was working on (ATB/B-2, very black at the time).  He accepted "special projects" with a slight smirk.  I was deeply saddened at his death, he was a humble guy who greatly influenced my career.

If you look closely, you can see Whitley Streiber being abducted from a grassy knoll.

It is like he is trying to re-created a variety show, or cheesy hotel lounge act, with him starring in all roles. I didn't watch the whole show. But the parts posted he celebrated his "return home," told a lame joke, and sang some songs, with interludes of personal anecdotes, touching his fans hands when, going out into the audience. There was fake smoke and spotlights involved. I didn't see what approach he took with the guests. But it was bizarre and hilarious, even if unintended. And a bit scary to think people paid so much to attend.

Great story, wow. (I was waiting for the "I want to shake your hand" awkwardness in the bathroom upon recognizing a legend though.)

[Dateline]

I've always heard speculations that Norry is a Reptilian.  Evidence now concludes that, he is of the lounge lizard species.

wow that is really cool! If I was planning a dinner party and could invite anyone ever he would be at the top of the list.

"Wanna come to a dinner party and then poop in some empty beer boxes?"
"And then burn the boxes"

"Wanna come to a dinner party and then poop in some empty beer boxes?"

I think that another great, but weird, rocket scientist, Jack Parsons, would more likely want to come to that party!

mr. Armstrong would have full use of the indoor poo boxes as well as the device. I would also burn them for him

[Mind Flayer Monk]

Parsons would explode those boxes. It would be a disaster.
akwilly is a gentleman for burning those boxes.

How did noorie meet Toomy?
