George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[ItsOver]

A search done by a producer who hands him the result on a card, you mean.

I like it when he reads the card upside down.  He almost makes sense.

[Morgus]

Classic Noory last night regarding CERN:  "That's the Gard Podicle, right?"

and tonight one of Noory's guests is Matthew Alper the "God Part of the Brain" guy - there are no coincidences?

I found the interview with Marla Martenson last night to be disturbing in the fact that I think the real personality of NOrry came out.  Ms. Martenson had an interesting story to tell of personal growth and of her exposure to the paranormal.  I was interested in hearing her presentation, not Norry playing bully to her and playing off of her husband, demeaning her and mocking her for that growth and outlook.  I was offended, and I did not enjoy the bullying.  I think that is really how Norry is, demeaning to women.  Notice he is not married.  Notice that the women who was desperately in love with him on GLP in long gone and never surfaces.  She found out how he really is and now instead of running to him, she runs away in a dead run faster than a world record sprinter in Rio.

Oh shit, I forgot about that.

some weird story about some donated organs

If somebody can go back to that first twenty minutes "news" section when Dave talked about the donated heart story. I think I heard him say the guy was on life support for 24 years, that can't be right,  he must have meant 24 hours.

Yeah, George, what if it "wipes out the solar grid"?

I had to get out of bed & boot up (also log in, cookies aren't working for me lately) to post that Nooryism.

Despite my earlier doubts, I also wanted to hear her story and specifically her ouija experiences.  George's ribbing of her fell flat like most his "jokes".  But you're right, it was a little more than good-natured teasing, it was more of a condescening & controlling thing which was very odd.  To her credit, Ms. M was a good sport about it all.

Thank yew for your service.

The EMP or CME scare reminds me of the similar Y2K scare years ago.
In both cases they recommend buying a sponser product like freeze dried food...

Or gold and silver, which are the worst possible investments for a post-apocalypse hellscape. Since they can't be eaten or used for daily personal hygiene needs, they'll be worthless. If you remember "Survival Preppers," my favorite was the very practical guy who was growing sugarcane and tobacco so he can trade fuel, booze, and smokes, which will be among the truly valuable currencies when society collapses.  That and toilet paper.  I have 8,000 rolls stashed away in a secure, undisclosed,  weatherproof location, and when our present way of life is a distant memory, one measly square will be worth a billion times its weight in gold.

I heard one expert say if you want to invest in metals for survival, make it lead, in the form of bullets.  Me being more of a peaceful-minded type, I like the booze-stocking idea better.  I seem to recall stories of certain crises in Russia, maybe it was Chernobyl, where vodka became a top bartering commodity.

Probably any escapist vice that would keep people going would be valuable, even things like comic books or an old battery-powered gameboy etc.  I myself would pass the time sitting on top of my bunker, sipping martinis, playing tetris, and re-reading the entire GNS thread which I've printed out and stored in a safe place for posterity.

Yeah, alongside Tommee's porn doodling.

We need an update on Norry's eye--pad.

I agree with the sentiment that things like drugs, booze, tp, and lead will be more important than gold if there was a real societal collapse but I think things like gold, jewelry, diamonds are more for something like a war or police state scenario and could be used to bribe guards or government officials to get you transport, get entry into a new country, smuggle you over a border, pay off a hostage ransom, etc. Like some Jews were able to do in WWII etc. Also the ability to hide easily, sew into clothes, and avoid confiscation either at home or when fleeing and crossing a border.

Diamonds are good.  Apparently, you can eat 'em, too.  Just be careful handling 'em!

As I see it, Noory and the guest's recommendations to store some storeable food, water, supplies, etc. only really helps for a relatively short period emergency like due to local weather where supplies can be brought in from outside the area in a few days.
But a catastrophe due to a CME or EMP would cover a massive area, not just a local problem, and apparently would not be repairable for months or even years due to lack of backup transformers, etc. 
So in that case, storing even a month or two of supplies would just possibly delay the end for a while and would also make you a target by individuals nearby who don't have those supplies.
Choose a quick end or a prolonged slow death?

Maybe instead the plan should be to migrate to an area with people who have the skills to live off the land and their own local resources without electricity. Like the Amish or aborigines in Australia?

I agree; it did come across as mean, and the husband's appearance as something of an ambush.

Also his story about taking a $20 from the piano player's tip jar as a "gag" -- though he pronounced it something more like "gyeagh" -- who does stuff like that?  Is that some kind of East-Coast tough-guy schtick, where you are deliberately nasty just to see if someone will call you on it?

No. That's just Boary (or was it the husband? I didn't bother to listen) being an asshole.

[Zetaspeak]

Oh great an NRA show and open lines, what a crap combo. Well automatic skip for me.

[Humilia Lepus Foramen]

Has anyone heard this story before?  Noory just said he almost got kidnapped when visiting Mexico a couple years ago, and it almost made national news.  Huh!?

[ShayP]

I find it funny Noory didn't know what the term "gunned down" meant.  The caller used that term and Noory responded with "What does that mean?"  The caller then stated bluntly, "shot!"

[zeebo]

Well he's mentioned it many times, but the nat'l news keeps barely missing it.  From the way he tells it, sounded like he just got in the wrong cab and they got lost or something.  The harrowing tale may have inspired thrilling action sequences of daring heroes found in his books.

lol ok, thanks for the clarification.  George Noory, action man.

It was much discussed and ridiculed here at the time.  It's right up there with Art, and his stalker/shooter

[The Nabob]

Not true. She is still at GLP pursuing him. "Starbright"  had/has a second handle "LA Listener" she posted there just  last month the same ole ole stuff...love songs to Snoory.  She been doing it for years. check out the latest:

Remember they countersued each other in St. Louis for stalking.

When Snoory was away in LA, she went to his house in St. Louis and picked his paper off the lawn and put them by his door. THAT was just the tip of the iceberg.
Pathetic, but sad.

Yep, as the others have mentioned, it's another Jorch classhic tale of idiocy.  I have this image of Jorch in the cab, blathering away in his usual Nooryese, until the driver snaps, and dumps Jorch at the earliest opportunity.  "Gringo estúpido!  ¡Salí! "

Yes, I particularly enjoy that he calls it "kidnapping" instead of something like an abduction (probably because he thinks that's reserved just for the alien visitor thing). Anyway he is very much like a child so I guess "kid" is good enough.

Maybe he was "spirited away".

[zeebo]

He only escaped the clutches of fate by tapping into his inner "Nero Blaze".

Wasn't StarBright the regular poster to GLP's GNS! thread who was one day hot and the next day cold for sNoory? I never imagined her to be his stalker back then, even with her erratic posts.
