Nobody Noory.  I like it.    Art was the master at conducting the late night "storytelling around the campfire."  Nobody Noory can't even figure out how to light the campfire.

[Sardondi]

This might open up entirely new vistas for that old 70's spaghetti western, "My Name Is Nobody" with Terence Hill and Henry Fonda (who must have had tax problems).

[McPhallus]

nailed it...
hehe was the use of "nobody's" a spellcheck thing or did you really mean to call him that?

iPad autocorrect.  Serendipitous, though!

[ItsOver]

Looks like another photoshop opportunity.     Terence Hill had some talent, though.  He turned being nobody into being somebody.  Noory's taking nobody to the lowest possible level.  Or, should I say he's taking everybody listening to C2C to the lowest possible level?

I used "homo" as a way of saying something stupid or not cool.  It wasn't a veiled attempt to hide my own sexual propensity...
cmon man chill... you obviously have some problem with this word and it's meaning to you subjectively.  I don't think anybody else on this forum thinks I have any issues with non-straight people... hows that ? non-straight? PC enough for you? sheeesh

[ziznak]

You just said that I used homo because I DID care what people think of me online?? now I dont?and you're not getting into it but you JUST DID??  Apparently it's you acting like a child... you haven't posted in forever but you feel the need to jump in and bitch cause somebody used "homo" in reference to something that has nothing to do with sexual orientation.  Troll somewhere else please...

[mikealden]

Noory is always going on about "haters". Did Art have the same problem? Ever? With the anti-fans?

From what I can tell, Art got it just as bad, if not worse, than Noory. The old alt.fan threads tear him apart as far back as 1994. Here are a couple of examples:

and another one from 1996

I was reading in www.ufowatchdog.com just for laughs; looking in their "Hall Of Shame" http://www.ufowatchdog.com/hall_of_shame.htm
and in their entry for Joe Nickell, I noticed this:

...credit where credit is due, Nickell did make Art Bell look like a total ass on his own program when Bell's attempt to debate Nickell about UFOs was nothing short of a dismal failure  - once again showing why some people (hint...hint) shouldn't be the voice of UFOlogy.

Does anyone know the date of that program and where I might find it?

I posted an answer but I was totally wrong so I removed the post. Just letting you know.

             Somewhere In Time had an episode tonight from August 8, 2001 with a remote viewer.

            It bears repeating. August 8, 2001...remote viewer.

            No mention of an event that would occur 34 days later. As always. I'm sure as of noon time on 9/11/01 he was telling everybody that he saw it coming. Remote Viewers suck.

[Morgus]

Remote viewers say they only see the future for some event/location they actively target.
Psychics on the other hand claim to pick up some future event spontaneously, and several recently have told of seeing planes going into the buildings weeks in advance, but didn't know what to do with the info.

A user wrote the following poem and posted it on Art Bell's Facebook page. The only reason I am quoting it at all is because it may be the first, of any, posts on Facebook that Art Bell has "liked".. which means we can read a lot into this:

Farewell Poem
Gather round friends, I have a story to tell
A story of a hero, by the name of Art Bell
As the sun goes down, winds kick up the sand
As we're all tuning our dials, whether on sea or on land
And anxiously wait for that voice in the night
He brings those things hidden, out into the light

From Roswell to Mars, from Mel’s hole to Ed Dames,
didn't know them at first, now their all household names
You gave of yourself to help open our minds,
As we sat by our phones just to hear, "open Lines"
To tell of our stories, our dreams and our fears,
You smiled as you listened thru out these past years.

You ask all the questions we wanted to know,
And played weird recordings of sounds down below
Some say we're all crazy and your show makes them laugh
I bet they weren’t laughing when we spiked that graph!
From Scallion to Martin and those in between
From ghosts to crop circles and things that aren't seen
You made us all question the things that we hear

As the road much less traveled became your career.
Your critics were many, and enemies a few,
They feared the truth and the "parts" left to you
Together, you and Keith took the airwaves by storm,
Never giving up, or giving in, when pressed to conform

So you have won, and so have we all
Our spirits have touched just by answering the call
From Portland to Maine, from Sparks to Duluth,
You have touched us all, by expanding our "truths"
"From the high desert" will be a thing of the past,
Talk about a "quickening," these last weeks have gone fast!

"Live long and prosper", my radio friend,
And feel all the love that your audience sends
Retirement isn’t always as it might appear,
I hope you write as you travel , maybe far, maybe near

But whatever you do, we all wish you well,
We love and we'll miss you, my hero, Art Bell

Nice poem and all, but that's a serious case of ass kissing. I bet Art's not even able to sit down after reading that.

[BobGrau]

Note the Portland reference. Hmmm.

Amen to that -- obviously written by someone from The Land Of The Easily Impressed.

[Eddie Coyle]

       Nice Catch. And that erstwhile goofy bastard would think "Portland to Maine" would be a clever line.

[MV/Liberace!]

obviously written by the same type of stalkerish jizz bucket who would knit white kleenex box covers with the word "art" on them in green lettering... and then mail them off to art.


c2c attracts such a huge collection of hoarding cat lady types.

Well dude honestly, look at Art Bell himself. Dude is a total old school fucking nerd. He loves Abba and Ham Radio, that is some nerdy shit right there lol.

[Falkie2013]

I remember seeing Michael Caine on Carson.

He was talking about doing the movie The Swarm.

He said it was a piece of crap and he only did it because it paid off the mortgage on his house.

Probably why Fonda and others do some really bad films particularly ones that look like they were shot in an hour and a half

he's got some cat lady blood in his veins...not that there's anything wrong with that... I'm part cat-lady as well

[ItsOver]

Art was great at being Art, unlike the talentless, phoney baloney Noory.

[Ipokesmot]

Somewhere in Time is still on.      So where's Art's "big" announcement?

[MV/Liberace!]

Don't hold your breath.

[SnapT]

Every day of silence from Art lets Hot Air Noory and his trusted sidekick Tommy sleep a little easier.  Remember that, Mr. Bell!

This thread is gay.

[Lunger]

This thread is gay.

I know, right?

Homos!

[BigDave]

This thread is gay.

I didn't know a threat could assume a sexual orientation

[MV/Liberace!]

i wonder if the thread was born that way, or if it chose that lifestyle.

[Sardondi]

Years ago gay threads argued they were started that way from the instant of the first keystroke. But after reflection they were concerned that people would think that if that was so, it meant there was literally a genetic difference between gay threads and "normal" threads. And so, they feared, people might think that gay threads were almost an entirely different topic, much like the "mutants" of the X-Men comics "graphic novellas" and movies. So with help from GLAT, (Gay Lesbian Alliance of Threads), they began a widespread lobbying effort and have succeeded large part in changing the public's focus from the source of thread orientation to tolerance and multi-threadism.
