The General Musings of Falkie2013 (George Senda, The Guy From Pittsburgh)

[WhiteCrow]

This may be the most annoying video you have ever done.
So according to you, not a lot of people know who Art Bell is or was, but you've been doing your best to keep his memory alive on youtube. This was your response to someone saying you were ruining the Art Bell thread.  You act like Art owes you one and that your posting of random shit in his thread someone benefits him. They could erase everything you have ever said or done on the internet, and it would not affect Art Bell or his legacy. You have done nothing and continue to do nothing, so get the hell off your high horse. And where the fuck do you get of saying a large percentage of us want him to fail? Just more rambling nonsense from you.

What heck... are we from different planets?
This is the best Falkie video I've watched. I haven't watched most of them but this 'one' held my interest.
Falkie shows his passion about a lot of subjects and a good rant trumps all.

[WhiteCrow]

He makes something up and then gets defensive about it. Mad even. So damn odd. He's a psychologist's wet dream.

So... couldn't the exact same thing be said about some of Art's guests.
To name a few of Art's regulars that do the same, Major Ed, Hoagie, and Whitley and yes even Art at times when he defends them.
Who cares, it's all good, live and let live.  If don't like Art's guests, don't listen/buy their book/seminars etc. 
But some  can't exercise the same judgement with Falkie and tune him out. Now that my friend, is damn odd and a psychologist's wet dream.      

[onan]

If we can't be all of one mind... damnit.

[coaster]

sure

If don't like Art's guests, don't listen/buy their book/seminars etc. 

duly noted.

I am sure if I had a psychologist, and they asked me why I watched his video, I'd say I had a couple hours to kill before work and I saw it while flipping through posts on bellgab. But well done Freud. You have bested me. You really made me sit down and think. A brilliant mind, you. Do you and area51drone ever get chapped lips from blowing Falkie 24/7?

[SredniVashtar]

That video has two brilliant moments. The bit at the start where he was trying to explain why he keeps replying to notification emails was truly deranged. You get a 'click to reply' box every time in Gmail, no matter who it's from, but he doesn't seem to realise that. But my favourite bit is when he says, 'the last thing I am not is a stupid person'. Which is exactly what a stupid person would say. What he meant to say was, 'the last thing I am is a stupid person'.

Unless this is all some inspired piece of performance art that we haven't figured out yet.

[b_dubb]

His video attempt at refuting everyone's assertions instead proved them.

Next.

[Yorkshire pud]

Next.

Yeah, but he doesn't know it yet; let one of his friends tell him or he'll just blame everyone else.

[3OctaveFart]

I'm willing to believe there are times Falkie is actively playing his trolls.
Trolling his legion of trolls.
That takes some skill, and some cunning.

I'm not judging or telling you what to do, but if you dislike Falkie so much why did you watch a 20 minute video? I don't believe Falkie is trying to claim he is keeping Art professionally relevant. What he's saying is; posting on the Art Bell forum is the only thing he can control. Therefore, he does, and it makes him feel like he's doing something to help. Even if it is insignificant.

Do you think Falkie is really a troll? If so, you're keeping him well fed.

[ACE of CLUBS]

Time for another meaningless poll .......
MV ..... would you set it up for us ?
Thanks buddy !!   

[area51drone]

I'm not judging or telling you what to do, but if you dislike Falkie so much why did you watch a 20 minute video?

This.  He's sucked all of you into his world, whether you like him or not.  Hell, he's even sucked Art in, apparently.

[3OctaveFart]

Yeah; keep believing that. 

Well, he has you all worked up. Why is that?
Why does an essentially harmless person piss so many people off?
Angered to such point they would take digs at his obviously compromised companion?

I can't speak for others; but I'm not angry. I think it's bizarre though how he professes to do and not do things, but does exactly the things he says he doesn't, and vice versa.

Many years ago a (in the UK) DJ by the name of Tony Blackburn who broke up with his wife. He played out his heartbreak on air, at the (then) most popular BBC radio station there was. It was pitiful. Until then, no-one had a clue about his private life. Falkie can't wait to tell all and sundry about his finances, his diet, his weight, his health, his partner, his home; in fact all and anything that 99% of us here don't divulge on the threads, let alone broadcast it on Youtube! Doesn't that strike you as odd?

A heckle requires a bit of courage and risk; the audience can see who is doing the shouting. Lee's detractors were all anonymous. How should we understand it then: harmless banter? Robust criticism? Vicious bullying?

The psychologists call it "deindividuation". It's what happens when social norms are withdrawn because identities are concealed. The classic deindividuation experiment concerned American children at Halloween. Trick-or-treaters were invited to take sweets left in the hall of a house on a table on which there was also a sum of money. When children arrived singly, and not wearing masks, only 8% of them stole any of the money. When they were in larger groups, with their identities concealed by fancy dress, that number rose to 80%. The combination of a faceless crowd and personal anonymity provoked individuals into breaking rules that under "normal" circumstances they would not have considered.

Deindividuation is what happens when we get behind the wheel of a car and feel moved to scream abuse at the woman in front who is slow in turning right. It is what motivates a responsible father in a football crowd to yell crude sexual hatred at the opposition or the referee. And it's why under the cover of an alias or an avatar on a website or a blog â€" surrounded by virtual strangers â€" conventionally restrained individuals might be moved to suggest a comedian should suffer all manner of violent torture because they don't like his jokes, or his face. Digital media allow almost unlimited opportunity for wilful deindividuation. They almost require it. The implications of those liberties, of the ubiquity of anonymity and the language of the crowd, are only beginning to be felt.

That is what has been happening on this thread from Page 1.

Remember what Kissinger said about the battles in academia being so vicious because there was so little at stake? A dude actually left the BellGab podcast over Falkie. Senda flipped the game and you don't even realize it.

As to your second point, I remember Art's tearful goodbye to Ramona on the air. I don't doubt it could be considered good radio, but it made me uncomfortable. Maybe it was how I chose to respond to it. I went to Art for entertainment, not to see him staring back from the abyss.

[Daggit]

Falkie, I think this book might help you.



I only watched the first few minutes of the video but you seem to be confused about the notification email. It says not to reply to that email which is correct as any replies will go straight to MV. At the bottom of the notification it says Reply to this Personal Message here and then provides a link. To avoid any further annoyances to MV please click that link which will take you to that message in the bellgab PM system and then reply to the message from there.

it's very nice of you to try and help, but believe me when i tell you, you're wasting your time.  i've explained this multiple times with equal clarity, and to no avail.  he just can't get it.

Perhaps you need to overhaul the entire inbox system to accommodate. A forum is only as bright as its dullest member. 

[MikeJ]

I do like the Worst of Ed Dames suggestion though.

Not possible. Falkie says he isn't stupid. Must be your fault.

Don't run away with either me heckling or wouldn't tell him to his face where I thi k he's going wrong. Might be worth considering why Falkie recieves the bad press and not Bateman, Astroguy or the Gabcast crew.

well, i'm not sure i'd go that far.

So I make verbal flubs and don't quite say what I mean to say at times.
Those of you who KNOW me KNOW what I am trying to say.
The ones who claim to dislike me so much yet pore over my every video are the truly clueless and stupid ones, not I.
And I suppose only MV is allowed to make mistakes in reading or not reading what shows up in an inbox.
Unlike him perhaps, I make no claims to be perfect.
And do have difficulty at times READING what's on a screen when it's in small print. Or in print.
I HAVE stopped hitting the bottom notification link, but I guess MV has FAILED to notice that.
But then doesn't a certain talk show host make one hell of a lot of verbal flubs on a nightly basis ?
And he's SUPPOSED to be a professional at it.
And gets PAID handsomely for it flubs or not.

I get nervous.
I don't know what George's excuse is.
In the meantime ...


The Guy From Pittsburgh ( tm ) Lufthansa 1962 Flight of Terror ! !!!

The Guy From Pittsburgh ( tm ) Is A Zombie Apocalypse Realistic & Donations comment ? !!!

[Falkie2013]

The Guy From Pittsburgh ( tm ) Is George Noory Right On FAKE Terrorists ?

I can't WAIT until I print up and get to wear my specially created MV & Bellgab tshirt !

Watch for it !

[Daggit]

Falkie, you're supposed to reply by clicking the link at the bottom of the notification email. That link takes you into the PM message on BellGab where you can reply directly to the PM that was sent. If you reply directly to the email notification by hitting reply within Gmail then that will be sent directly to MV. I'm not sure why this isn't sinking in. I'm not sure how more plainly this concept can be explained. Perhaps a diagram?

AS I have PREVIOUSLY said I am no longer clicking on that link and it was done in part because I was NOT paying attention to the emails in their entirety. I made a point to READ one sent to me by White Crow sent as a test message and saw where I was making the mistake and have stopped doing it.
DO * I * need to loan you my magnifying glass or a pair of my old glasses to understand that or do YOU " get it " even LESS than Noory does ?
Or are YOU as STUPID as others on here erroneously claim that I am ?

[nooryisawesome]

I liked the circular fan in the background on the last video. The front cover was removed exposing the blades, might be interesting if a cat decides to jump on.

I also found it humorous Falkie was calling people cheap bastards for not wanting to pay for Sirius and that they should sell their radios on Ebay. If you recall it was Falkie who was lamenting the fact he could not afford a Sirius Radio in 2013 and the infamous "money order" that some other poster sent him to pay for one.

[area51drone]

He asked for a loan, which I offered.  The money order came late because Falkie gave me the wrong address.  Then by the time it was corrected and delivered, the radio wasn't an issue anymore.   Falkie offered to return the money but I told him just to keep it.

[Falkie2013]

Don't give him ideas! He's probably already costing out the table and thermos, and the distance to the nearest one.

Edit: No, he's too fuckin' lazy.

Not lazy at all, schmuck with your usual ad hominem and insulting attacks.
If I were lazy, I wouldn't do videos, would I ?
Or post to a forum or blog.
Or do all the other things I do that you will NEVER know about unless I tell you.
And the nearest Starbucks is a scant 6 blocks from here and I did walk down there when I did my car show video & when I used to walk to Starbucks, the Bank of America before it closed, Amtrak, where Aldous has hung out from time to time, the post office to get my mail and a host of other places. The local transit terminal is also at the Amtrak station and I walk there to take the bus. It is 10.5 blocks away from here.

I'm uploading a video and am listening to Noory's show of 2-12 where He talks about his uncle.
Did anyone bitch about him talking about his uncle ?
Probably not.
But if I talk about my life, the haters tell me to stfu.
Double standard time.

And I sent Noory the dog in the hospital story and he used it. Or we both found the same story.
I'm going to have to ask him sometime if he uses the various news items I send him.
