Art Bell

[pyewacket]

Nice pic. You can read me my rights now.

I'll let you go with a very stern warning this time, mister.

Oh yeah Copper?

A revelation.

This board has become what Art Bell used to be.

I really had grown tired of listening to Bell after a few weeks.

Even he had grown tired of the novelty of being back on the air. His grumpiness with the quality of lines, being short with guests, etc.

This board is like breaking up with a girlfriend. You know it's over. She knows it's over but we still hang onto each other because a part of us remembers what was so great about it.

It's over.

I have a new gf.

Her name is Bellgab.

Just so you know, a lot of us have had our way with her in the past.

I just want to see how this movie ends. Is that so bad? Then the thread can become a pro-Art echo chamber again.

We're still talking about Bellgab, right?

Dumpster Fire: The Movie

[Value Of Pi]

Lucky for us, no corpse.

As for Art's story for leaving, sorry about that. I was disappointed too, then I went to the store.

As far as benefit of the doubt, yeah about that, not so much. Way too many Matlocks hit the beach first. And as we all know, it changed nothing. Really, whatever was given on this forum directed at Art for quitting... still no Art, I am fine with that by the way. As far as what people did, welp, I'm old school, I took no part in those endeavors. I will pay for tickets to see the band, maybe buy a shirt, but I am not buying the amplifier for the band or paying for their gas to get to the club. I even mildly addressed that with Heather on a Gabcast.

Let me clarify on Heather, she is a lovely person not just seemingly so. But none of us wear a halo. None of us have perfect backgrounds that we are willing to share with people that want nothing more than to be angry. And I get that to some extent. But this became a shit storm with nothing after all was said and done but shit.

Art's motivations for putting Heather in the chair... I don't know why I choose the socks I do in the morning, what Art does is beyond my concern. I'm lucky, I guess, no one gets to do what I do without the proper credentials. I have been in jobs however where someone did come in without the necessary skills. My choices were to accept or leave. I usually left. For what it's worth, Heather being placed in that spot didn't affect my employment. As for the producer that got axed, I have no facts about his leaving. People get fired for the wrong reasons all the time, this isn't the one I am going to lose sleep over.

Finally, regarding the suggestion that Heather and Art were more than professional, none of that is my business. It does seem tawdry, mean, and base.

What is not to be over? Again, it was/is a radio show. I am more concerned my drive to work tomorrow.

I notice that in many of the back and forths throughout the shitstorm the fall-back position when all else fails is "I really don't care anyway." Not saying this is you, but it happens around here. The answer to that is usually "Well, I do care about thus and such." Which is as good a point as any to leave things. It's the last layer on the onion.

I ejaculated on BellGab's face, many times... Deal with it.

[Night Train]

That would be amazing. Airyn comes running out from backstage, shatters a chair over Heather's head and then starts throwing haymakers at Art until she's dragged kicking and screaming off the stage... only to do another run-in once everything calms down. Somewhere Keith is eating popcorn chicken by the tub full and crying.

"Art Bell, in the cases of Ciardelo, Chronaut, meister, and phrodo, you are NOT the father!"

That's going to lead to at least a dozen posts on FB about the sick twisted perverts on BellGab.

We really do have a classic blight vs dorkness drama.

True enough.

It's like when MV gave Falkie a donation to go to the Woo Woo con in hopes it'd lead to more interesting videos and posts. We're investing in the business.

[Gumby, Dammit]

Clarity?  LMFAO.

The guy used a bunch of flowery language precisely to disguise his lack of clarity. 

But one thing's clear to anyone who's not brain dead - dude had the hots for Redacted/Heather.  He invited her to meet IRL, certain he was gonna get some.  But after she saw him in person, Heather made it quite clear she wasn't interested in having sex with him.  So he decided to make a virtue of necessity, and had an epiphany that because Heather is such an angel, celibacy with her is ten thousand times better than being in a sexual relationship with her.

"I invited Heather to participate in the reality of my personal and home life."  Yeah, that's some real "clarity", right there. 

No, if he wanted clarity, he would've written it this way.  "I asked Heather to move in with me."

Clarity?  Nope.  Here's the clear version:

I'd just gotten divorced, and I was horny as hell, and so I couldn't wait to shack up with Heather.    But she had zero interest in having sex with me, and said "Let's just be friends."  I agreed, in hopes that one day she would change her mind, and I let her stay despite the fact that she wasn't putting out.

"We've" kept the relationship platonic?  Ha!  No, she kept it platonic.


Of course, a platonic relationship wasn't my original intention, but hey, I made the best of it, and decided that since Heather is such a saint, I actually liked living in a perpetual state of blue balled bliss.

Correction - she's not someone who was ever vaguely sexually suggestive, inappropriate, or flirtatious with him.  That's because she didn't find him attractive.  If she had, she would've definitely been sexually suggestive and flirtatious, as all women are when they're attracted to a man.  (This part's even more hilarious considering that noble, sainted Heather used to make a living talking dirty to men.)

Of course, it wasn't the destination I originally had in mind, but here we are, and she's just not into me, so whaddya gonna do?

So, let me get this straight?  They've both supposedly got the hots for each other, but they refuse to sully such a beautiful friendship by having sex?  Yeah, right.  No, he's got the hots for Heather, but she has zero interest in him.  But he wants to make one thing clear, at least - he can still get it up, "thank you very much."  And she didn't shoot him down, oh, heck no!  They were both feeling "natural hormonally instinctive attractions" for each other, constantly, but they simply made a mutual decision not to have sex in order to keep their relationship on a higher level.  Honest!

Bullshit.  When two people who are both single have  "natural hormonally instinctive attractions" for each other, they have sex.  He was attracted, she wasn't.


Translation: "She always kept her bedroom door locked."

Uh-huh.  Why let sex ruin a beautiful relationship between a man and woman, amirite guys?

Right.  "They" made  a "mutual" decision to ignore their "mutual" raging attraction to each other in order to avoid having an "awesome" sexual relationship.  Yeah, that's real believable.  :

That last, pathetic sentence about the awesome sex he thinks he could've had pretty much says it all. Clearly, he wanted Heather.  He wanted her bad.  But she had zero interest in having sex with him.

FIFY, paladin.  There's your clarity.

Four measly bullets, and there goes senor Bob.
But that still don't get us no closer, to which one of y'all poisoned the coffee.

It appears there really is a bit of a sticky wicket created by free speech.

Actually, I might just have been flirting with your avatar (it's possible). Audrey could have had me any time she wanted. Except if she had to stand in line behind Ingrid Bergman.
