Art Bell

[Jackstar]

That fucker owes you.

One cannot payback the truth.

[Freyja]

he's shot himself in the foot, burned bridges and quit for reasons (never his fault..ever) only to return again several times already.

I can only speculate- But here goes.

Art quit Sirus and took a lot of shit over it. More than he probably thought he would. He said he would come back once the no compete was over and probably really meant it with all his heart. keith and others went all out to make a station, make deals and have things ready once Art could return.

Time passed, excitement grew, fans started getting ready and filling himwith adoration which he enjoyed and he went through with it.

didnt take long and he realized he really didnt want to be strapped to a chair 5 nights a week or whatever- Which I dont blame him for.

Probably got a crank call and then started making an exit plan because he wanted to 'save face' be able to quit without a rehash of the sirus debacle and with sympathy from his remaining fans.

-Thats my opinion for what its worth.

That's my opinion as well...nothing else makes any sense.

Or Airyn/Erin/Irene gave him an ultimatum that doing the show was not the life she was prepared to live with Art ( nights alone 5 days/week in the middle of nowhere with a child in bed) and he had to make a choice and find a way out.

[Ciardelo]

Bingo!!

It's not about the $$...for me it's about be jerked around for 2 decades and the attempts to be taken for a fool. It's insulting...JMHO of course!! 

here Freyja, I got this for you Angel

300 posts regarding one over riding issue, and your position was some nefarious use of an accurate term. Invested doesn't mean you rape babies. It means you are focused beyond an interest. I did not accuse you of anything. This whole thread is a shit storm. To keep grinding the same turds is certainly your prerogative. I didn't call you a troll no matter how you try to massage your response to me. I didn't make any untoward statements. That seems to be your translation, fine.

Look, we're going to have to agree to disagree on the use of the word "invested." Was it you who offered up the distinction between interest and investment in terms of that going to the beach example? That was just plain wrong. I don't think you understand the difference, or care to.

Again, I gave you plenty of new material to work with, if that's what you want. All I ask is that you expand your vocabulary. Some people here are passionate about defending free speech, or their notion of it. I'm passionate about defending the English language.

[EDIT]
I meant to include something here about connotation and denotation. Words often have both and people should try to be aware of both before using them. At least, that is what i was taught.

LOL...what do you want me to do with that?...hang myself?!?!   

[Ciardelo]

He owes you too? What the fuck?

[Ciardelo]

LOL...what do you want me to do with that?...hang myself?!?!   

No baby lol  It's just a portable halo for when you go out 

[Value Of Pi]

Now you're being a passive aggressive twat. How interesting.

More psychology from the master. Boy oh boy.

[Jackstar]

You're not even trying anymore.

You're such a sweet, considerate cutie pie!! ...how did you know it would hide my horns?!?!

[Jackstar]

Anyone who has ever lied to me is going to die.

[Ciardelo]

Awe, shucks. 

[whoozit]

Anyone who has ever lied to me is going to die.

And all those who told you only the truth.   

[Ciardelo]

Anyone who has ever lied to me is going to die.

That's a fact Jack. 

[DarKPenguiN]

And all those who told you only the truth.   

Eternal life, i'm hoping since ive never lied to the guy that I know of.

[3OctaveFart]

And you were wronged. That fucker owes you.

People like Bell are glad people like you exist. So is our government and so are the robber barons who wrecked our economy.

If you don't understand the relationship between customer loyalty and customer satisfaction, just put me on ignore and get out of my hair. There's no point debating a fanboi.

[whoozit]

That's just like you, we can't even agree we are mortal.

[SciFiAuthor]

Oh look, another round of the same people giving the same opinion every day for weeks on end.

[Freyja]

You're not even trying anymore.

Yeah, I know.

Can't find anything else to scrape from the bottom of this barrel <sigh>

Oh, wait....how could I not think of this?!?!?

The aliens made Art do it.

It was the BIG black triangular craft that came back and told Art if he didn't quit MITD that they would beam Asia and Airyn/Irene up never to be seen again and begin to abduct him and probe him every night.

Of course he couldn't tell the police what had really happened, so he called Whitley for his advice.

Whitley told him, "Art, you MUST do what they say...and NEVER tell anyone", since they won't believe you. 

Of course we all know that the ETs are foe and not friends, so what else was Art to do?

Art had to personify the ETs as a stalker and quite MITD to keep himself and his family safe.

And of course, this species of ETs ( according to Salla) are afraid of snow, so of course it is perfectly safe to go out when it snows in the desert!!

That must be it!!...we just didn't "get it"!!

Recommend any good books, SFA?

The Art of Talk comes to mind.

You're shocked how lol?

[Jackstar]

The aliens made Art do it.

It might be extraterrestrials, or demons, or fallen angels--we simply don't know.

[cweb]

I still maintain that this is real.

I'm with you. My personal conspiracy theory is that Art invented all of this as an elaborate ruse so that he could run off with the Juggalo hordes, drink copious amounts of Faygo, and "woop woop" the nights away. That's what really happened to Ian, too!

This whole thread is a shit storm.

Agreed. The Art Bell thread- where a fan base goes to defecate on itself.

[Ciardelo]

Find where I said I was taking any sides. I see no debate here. You have a deep, abiding conviction the fucker owes you.

[LadyFish]

Bingo!!

It's not about the $$...for me it's about be jerked around for 2 decades and the attempts to be taken for a fool. It's insulting...JMHO of course!! 

This has become the Falkie thread! 

I can hear Falkie ranting that about his mother. Except instead of JMHO it would be STFU and maybe a mention of Bill Gates & thrown away comic books!

[DarKPenguiN]

It might be extraterrestrials, or demons, or fallen angels--we simply don't know.

Could it be...Angels?

[Jackstar]

The Art of Talk comes to mind. 

The fourth book in the trilogy was titled, "When The Tripods Came". Most people haven't heard of it or read it, because it sucked.

Sucking is a chilling effect.
