Midnight In The Desert

[GravitySucks]

Art trolling BellGab with Redacted...  If so, well-played.

I think it all began sometime early in 2008. MV was abducted and probed. They inserted an implant with a beta copy of the SMF software preconfigured as to the site which would become BellGab. How else could a truck driver build this forum from his cab while parked at a truck stop?


p.s. rumor is that Brig is the programmer. Sysop. Root. Seek out the Genesis device.

I finally caught up. This thread is magnificent, I wish Art could die every day.

Serious question:  do the effects of COPD come and go?  Because he seemed fine on MITD, fine on the one show he came back and did, and fine during the interview he did with MV.

It's hard for me to believe that person was suffering from a severe respiratory disease

It depends how advanced it is. My experience with a family member was that he would get sudden attacks which would become more frequent and severe over time. I never heard any roughness in Art's breathing, or any struggle to breathe, and it would be hard if not impossible to conceal that in a three hour show. If you smoke as much as he did (and he had a real smoker's voice in his last 10-15 years) he would have been very lucky not to have respiratory problems though.

If you were a time traveller he could.

I miss 40 fucking pages.  Like hell I'm going to back up and read it.  Did Heather make an appearance on social media today?

[dsz]

How is Heather more upset than Art's own wife who spoke at the funeral? She needs some meds I think.

Screw meds. But whatever happened to that medical marijuana she used on her cat? Maybe that's what happened... She's so stoned out of her gourd she can't move, let alone host a show. This tombstone will be one humdinger if that's the case. Though lots of creative geniuses smoke weed. We could get the Sistine chapel.

[Bluejay]

Recall how she posted that she no longer believes in magic.  Coz her last spell, to keep Art alive, didn't work?

Too soon?

[stereonuts]

it's this kind of hard evidence that can destroy my theory of HW's non-existence.

That's sweet Kathy, she was out and about looking for Pokemon.

I don't understand why he was going to have MV guest host then?  I understand that he had even bought the plane ticket and booked the hotel room for a week for MV in Pahrump and had contracted out a few billboards advertising the "new hostest with the mostest".

I'm confused.

***I do recall a lot of negativity towards Art after the "quittening," but I don't recall much about Keith.  I said from the start that Art did not owe me anything, and I can damn sure guarantee that I had felt that way about Keith.  Both provided entertainment for years.

Quit

Appoint a new boss of the network who "gets it" then quit.  I vote for Rosegirl.

Most of the disgruntled feelings between Keith and BellGab revolve around him and MV getting sideways about The Spec Sheet running on the network when MV’s comments were considered a terroristic threat.

I think the other times were when he and/or Art quit. Before MITD twice and then how he handled the startup of the archives. Only paypal. No RSS feed. Then when Art quit he fired off emails telling everyone how tocancel. That probably cost him money. Lately he has been the cool head. All sxcept for the rant against Nye County. But he was probably put up to that. Oh. And the neckbeard.

I know there was some stuff prior to Art's return.  But then Keith was on the gabcast (at least I seem to recall that he was.  If not, it was an alternative timeline.)  After that things seemed a little better.  I don't really recall people being that upset at Keith when Art quit or that Keith would send off emails telling people how to cancel (actually, that seems somewhat professional to ensure that people paying have reasonable expectations of the product.)

I could be wrong.  I really don't pay all that much attention to that type of drama and don't have a great memory for it.

O.K.  Starr gets it.

I think Art made Keith come on the Gabcast. That’s the way I remember it. Art told him to make nice.

It wasn’t the fact he sent out emails. He just isn’t a great communicator and the tone of them didn’t help him. He should have waited a day or two to calm down.

Here is his latest tweet. I had to laugh.

Keith needs to stop the pity party. This just isn't true. Most people here do not hold Keith in an overall negative light. So many people Art attracted into his life have this woe is me attitude.

Keith never came here to lurk. His main impression is based on first Art and now Heather. Plus any emails he has gotten overtime.

I see things are coming along swimmingly. Kumbaya.

No, no, no, of course not.

Gee, Isn't that a WhiteCrow quote from the Falkie thread?  Is Keith reading the Falkie thread???

[bellNwhistle]

She didn’t show up for her knye cohost appearance on knye so who knows.

Probably hasn’t finished the headstone design yet.

She's personally assisting with the autopsy.  headstone is done.
