Dark Matter Segways/Ross Voiceovers

[Mind Flayer Monk]

A list of the narration in and out of the commercial breaks:

To initialize a dialogue sequence with Art Bell call...

To call Art Bell, please manipulate your communication device and call...

To call Art please light up the line...

From the area of 51

Coming to you from geosynchronous orbit at the speed of light

It's XM baby, and we're very serious

Space, the new frontier for Art Bell's Dark Matter

[The General]

The new opening, it's interesting to note, is Ross and not Art.
The whole '"From the high desert" and all that used to be Art's line.

And when Ross says "Wanna take a ride," he doesn't say it with nearly the same enthusiasm that the original liner had.  Oh well.  It's all good.  At least it's Ross and Art together again.

I'd like to see Art riding a Segway.  I bet he could even make it look kind of cool and bad ass.

     Are these really some of the segways?  They are cool.  What do they segway out of, and into, if they have have no commercials?  Did you make these up, Monk?

[Mind Flayer Monk]

They are the real segues that Ross Mitchell reads. I was trying to keep a running list of them in case they change over time/through the years.

They segue into and out of the commercials . There are something like two commercial breaks per hour, each break around four minutes. Some are just normal segues in from the commercial breaks and some read out the DM number for callers.

(I had to check a dictionary--I never knew it was spelled segue).

"Dark Matter, much like Sirius XM, is all around you. To beam up, call..."

MFM, I just wanted to drop you a note and thank you for taking the time to keep all the voiceovers documented in this one thread.  Great job!

[Mind Flayer Monk]

A few new ones this week:
"the collective awaits your input, come to us before we are forced to come to you"

[Sardondi]

Okay, a "Segway", as deftly noted by lonevoice, is a two-wheeled personal transportation device.

Its homophone "segue" is in the sense meant here a verbal method by which the speaker transitions smoothly from one subject to the next, without pause or introduction.

See Sardondi.

I brought that up in a post in this thread on September 20, but I can't edit the post title and I thought lonevoice's picture was funny as well so I left it up. I was planning on wrapping up the thread on Dec 31, re-posting all of them as "2013 segues", then using the reply areas as a place to post 2014 segues.

"the prime directive disallows dark matter contact with emerging AM world life forms, however, as an extraterrestrial client you are cleared to call..."
"let your thoughts take a quantum leap straight to the input sensor of dark matter's conscious minds by dialing..."

[West of the Rockies]

I like that Ross still uses the verb "dialing".  I wonder how many dial phones there still are in America.  Anyone here old enough to recall party lines?

Ross rules!

He uses another phase something like "activate your finger digit".


another two:
"the Sirius XM master switch has been thrown, Skynet is active. Call now before a city you care about disappears behind the terminators. Save them now by calling real ufo..."

"Friends, port your thoughts to Art or his guests
by pointing your browsing device to artbell.com
and jump into the wormhole if you dare..."

More like Tevye, singing "Tradition!" while pulling the cart myself as my lame horse limps behind me.

Sarah?

Sarah?

I read a while back that party lines were major harbingers in the spread of AIDS & STD's. Thank God for AOL During my teenage years. It made it so easy to pick up random's in my Dad's van with a mattress in it so he could bang his whores...
