This just in...

Wait a darned minute. Didn't Art Bell promise that he was leaving social media for good? Oh yeah, that is an Art Bell promise, meant not to be kept.

BTW, that one announcement reeks of desperation. Yaaaaay. We got one station and we might get more?

Last I checked Michael Vara had more terrestrial stations than Art Bell and Heather Wade.

This whole thing is so tying, really I'm mad at Art for blaming Bellgab for everything and not moving on and I'm mad at some of the people on Bellgab who were dicks when Art posted his merry Christmas message. Guy says Merry Christmas and people attack him, I don't blame him for leaving.

The problem is he never really left since he is still obsessing about Bellgab. He should have known people would flip their shit when he quit again and not bother to log on to see the shit storm he caused.

Uh, just where have you been hanging out exactly?  ???



Quiet boy!  Your mom's out of beer.  Here's a 20.  Go get us a 12 pack of PBR's and a bag a jerky.  Get yourself something, too.  Keep the change.

The problem people had wasn't that he was saying Merry Christmas. It was that he claimed he could not walk a few hundred feet to do a radio show because he was afraid for his family, but he had no problem standing out in his front lawn with them in the middle of the night while the supposed culprit allegedly remained at large.

It's not so much that he quit again - although that's part of it - it's the contempt he showed and the insult to our intelligence he demonstrated by putting out a phony cover story like that, in an attempt to garner sympathy instead of accusations of being a serial quitter.

try to think back 4 years and try to imagine what you would have said back 4 years ago if somebody had told you all the shit that just happened in the last 3 years.

think about it... the noory years... "the dull ages"

Good luck, Art, getting the Facebook crowd to promote you. There are crops to be watered, candy to be crushed, and exes to locate.

He will *never* get a level of participation from Facepalmers anywhere near the amount he got from BellGab.
Wow... I remember your first post like it was yesterday.  Arriving in the midst of the angst after somebody had registered MITD.com and offering it to Art- if he wanted it.

And now here we are...

None the less, I smile every time I see one of your posts as it takes me back to the beginning of the ride (or, at a minimum, the last lap of the roller coaster.)

It may not have appeared that way then, but by now, it must be clear to all--this guy can't live without a handler. I don't even fault him that. My dad was the same way.

Your dad may not have liked living alone, but I doubt very much that he was engaged to be married three weeks after his wife died.   

Talking marriage, being basically engaged to a woman, only three weeks after your wife dies, is not the behavior of a man who just lost his putative "soulmate." 

It's perfectly reasonable for people to assume that he and Airyn had been acquainted before Ramona died. 

In fact, anyone who doesn't suspect as much is extremely naive, and/or stupid.

These days, it may not be necessary to mourn a spouse for a year before dating again, but to be engaged a mere three weeks later demonstrates a shocking lack of respect for the dead spouse, and naturally leads people to believe that the widow/er had been fooling around with the new person, either virtually or actually, long before the death.

That's one of the reasons you don't get engaged three weeks after your wife dies.  That, and having an ounce of decency or a shred of respect for your dead wife.

Do I believe Art killed Ramona?  No.  But neither do I believe that Art and his new wife weren't in communication with each other long before Ramona died.

Yup.  I find that things usually end better if I just bite the bullet and tell the truth.  THere would be a lot of angst, but after it calmed down I'd have a lot better chance at recouping as much goodwill as possible.  Art's a big boy, and you'd think he'd have learned this by now.  I hate lying and then wheedling to cover up gaps in the lies.  It's one thing to have bad judgment, and another to have a basic character flaw that may forever make others think you are untrustworthy.

There are men who seem to always have a girlfriend on the side.  I think it's just their nature.  THey will often tell you they would not dream of divorce or upsetting their family, too.  I saw a study once about what is commonly thought of as 'love' lasting for about three years and is more a matter of the body's chemistry.  Certain drugs (dopamine?) that the body produces lose their effect after that period and if you have not built a solid foundation before then you have less of a chance.  People get married for different reasons.  Arranged marriages often last longer than 'love' matches. 

I'm just saying that we know nothing about Art in that department and relationships are strange things.  He may be the sort who frequently has outside interests.  When Ramona died, he could have married on a rebound - not a smart thing to do. 

That said, I think he might really look into therapy.  It's not usual for a person to make commitments and so shortly thereafter break them.  What could he possibly be thinking when he started this thing?  Did he never intend a five day a week production?  Was the attempt to bring on Heather going to morph into she taking two or three days? 

I'd been fighting against the thought of an affair, but as they say, 'If they do it with you, they'll do it TO you'.  Maybe Mrs. Bell did put the kabash on the thing.  Smart woman, if she did - if that were the case, hiring Heather was hardly a discrete move.

I've repeatedly explained to Segundus in answer to all her "concerns" & "questions" about why Art is acting so squirreley that the man is clearly probably cooking up meth out there in the desert!

Kolchak, this fits every point about why he is reluctant to file official reports and such...  :)

Frankly I don't see why Sengundus doesn't just come down to earth and quit worrying about Art! Everything is just fine!  >:(

Hmm.  I don't see why Ciardelo doesn't just come down to earth and quit worrying about Segundus.  I have no idea why you take my posts so personally, but it's slightly creepy.

Maybe because you can not or will not accept a perfectly reasonable explanation? Why are you acting so obtuse?

Slightly creepy is the baseline at Bellgab. You really should be aiming higher.

I wonder if Art ever wanders out to his broadcasting shack.  Unlocks the door and steps inside?  Fires up all of his transmitter equipment just for old times sake.  Then he turns everything off, walks out and locks the door behind him.

Was that the photo WITH HIS DAUGHTER?

Me thinks that Art felt reasonably safe to have done so.  He wasn't broadcasting, so the stalker wouldn't be upset enough to man his post.  And even if he did, 24 7, wouldn't he have looked like this?

I guess, at his advanced age, that whole Alpha-male protection of one's daughter thing completely disappears. 

If there were a real stalker...

BellGag - The joke's on Art.

This theory on /x/ cracked my shit up.  ;D

he was definitely pussywhipped and had to come up with the story about the stalker

he even mentioned how his studio was right next to his kids room (it's not even soundproofed, fucking noob art)

so his wife got sick of the kid being kept awake and started slamming doors and shit like women do to try and get you to argue with them when you're playing warcraft

happened enough times and art had to create the stalker to explain why he had to keep cutting the mic off
