Nice! Turns out I am probably wrong. But it was a fun hour or so. Just a really masculine women.

I missed the why-you're-wrong moment.  The 1999 stuff?

That is a boy in that picture! Mind fucking blown. Holy shit. Well I get why she didn’t come out on bellgab. Explains the unnatural vocal rhythms too.

Not a forensic artist, but I do draw people.  Tried remaking HW's teenage portrait -- could still buy her as a girl.  Nevertheless there can be no doubt that the plot is thicker than cold molasses at this point.

Show? I thought it was a documentary with that realistic sea. 

Pardon me -- historical document.

lol. I just listened to this last night. Oh well, that way I can put my attention on posting rude things about Heather and not feel like I'm missing something I haven't heard

Mon April 30 â€" The Art of Talk (Art Bell Read’s His Book)

That dust jacket!

If I remember right, Art kept the original "van mural" masterpiece framed at home . . . showed up in some pictures taken there.

Points to the artist for referencing a "UFO" from the ultra-swank eponymous TV show.

Weak.  I know, but I have yard work to do

Slight tangent away from the pun, but:

Norman Rockwell's terminal critique of art fads --

Plus, he could get a lot of pussy, become his own ancestor . . .  and get back in his time machine to go back home.

Fun image.

Quote from: Rockaria on April 27, 2018, 02:13:11 PM
When Art was asked which time period he would travel back to, he said he would go back the time and location of Jesus. That tells us a lot.

It does, although: circumstantial evidence implies he'd rather visit Jane Seymour's early twenties.

Heather has cloaking ability, natch. Whenever she senses the electronics of a camera she disappears.

Seriously, though...it could be interesting to do a reverse-image search of her one photo. Possibly the background is fake, whether the person shown is her or not. I agree the only-one-photo phenomenon is kind of mind-blowing.

It was blink-and-you-miss-it, some days back, but a second (black and white) image was discovered.  Flirted with revealing "internet history" so maybe it's been removed from here.

When did we find out that Heather has been living there in Pahrump for a couple of years? What's the low down on that?

You know, there is a marginal possibility that HLW may have purchased the property (as speculators do) in absentia, from another state.

Does it make sense?  Not really.  Plus someone posted about images of the move itself.

Nevertheless, intriguing.

[Malachi] Martin . . .  that old fraud.

I was never persuaded by him, either.  Listened to the recommended episodes.  Didn't click.  His dogma was underwhelmingly mainstream, just "traditional" (anti-sedevacantist; i.e. Latin mass, meatless Fridays, etc).  Hated how instead of engaging Art's "shock" and doubts -- when a statement seemed to indict the sadistic and punitive deity -- his only answer was a forlorn, "I know."

Or, they simply change their identities and start a new life...which happens often.

I want the documentary examining those last three words.

The complete chefist/Kham/Keef recap, highlighted edition.

Captain Ron.  My wife articulated the feeling I had, screening this: "This was a genre in the 90's . . . middle-class, usually American, families tested by extremes."  That said, Kurt's "boho Plissken" must've been fun to play.

Cutthroat Island.  Undermined by moments of execrable dialogue and forced tension -- thought at LEAST not by CGI, which is nowhere present.  Helmed by a man fitted better to second unit duties.

Nice looking boy band in the background.  Not quite The Backstreet Boys but they'd probably make an interesting JG Wentworth commercial.

With only a slight hue shift their Boyband name could easily be The Dexters of Luzon.

If they'll come in.

Fuck that could be worth a lot right there depending on what he had....

There are ways to transfer NFA in an estate, but it may have to be family.  I can’t rememver it’s been a while

The firearms could also had been held in a trust, which Keoth would be the trustee.  But you would have to pay the transfer tax to move he guns from individual owned to the trust.

I found this among some inherited estate items* (it was stamped with this, this and the holster had this) and was absolutely shocked at the appraisals it fetched (high five figures).

Felt very weird and dark just to be in the same room with it.

yeah, 2nd degree murder

2nd hand murder?

Quote from: GravitySucks on April 26, 2018, 08:47:32 PM
Or updated the gravity model? Or changed the equations of motion? Or made Robin Falkov a real doctor?

Quote from: DanTSX on April 26, 2018, 08:44:44 PM

No.  Those were in fact organized by Bob Lazar and Gene Huff, along with other like minded locals.  Huff has/had some nice NFA gear like full auto kalshnakovs

They were like Art and Keith.


They even had a short lived radio show on one of the Vegas stations.  I have a few hours of their on air banter somewhere.  I can’t remember where I got it.  Maybe from Glenn Campbell?

I've read transcripts of those radio shows . . . no doubt also from Glenn.  Man I'd love to actually hear one.

Please don’t tell Hoagland he can edit the Art Bell page.

Oh no.  I just had a terrible thought . . . what if he learned how to edit the Mars pages?

Quote from: DanTSX on April 26, 2018, 08:29:28 PM
That is because he keeps abandoning them

The truth burns.

Quote from: Robert on April 26, 2018, 08:29:14 PM
I never thought of them as Lazar's per se.  He may have attended.

I don't know if they're still a regular thing.  At least one yr/ the club putting them on won the bid of the Pyrotechnics Guild International, Inc. to make it their convention.

Firework conventions are great.  Amateurs can make stuff you just don't see from the pros -- too much work to make on a volume basis.

Lazar absolutely founded the one in the 90's called Desert Blast.  I didn't know there were others -- makes sense though and I'm encouraged to hear it!

Quote from: Kizuna Ai on April 26, 2018, 06:44:46 PM
it's tru...

Why settle for either extreme?

Quote from: GravitySucks on April 26, 2018, 08:11:38 PM
I included pretty decent rationale for making the edit. Usually if they are going to get taken down by the mods it happens quick. I have a pretty good history of making lasting edits. The trick is to not change other people’s words, but to add around them. And provide good back up or supporting data as to why you are making the change. I corrected the number of children up at the top earlier.

Friend of mine is a credentialed archaeologist, and diligent, but finally gave up on trying to amend broken and erroneous Wikipedia articles.  Her fiercest opponents were so-called "Afro-centrists" in the Tutankhamun pages (years ago).  Shame they failed to realize Egypt is . . . in Africa.  A little digging and it (of course) wasn't really about geography for them.

Maddening.

Quote from: Tricky-D on April 26, 2018, 08:00:11 PM
Art smoked 4 packs a day until Airyn was pregnant with Asia when he quit. 4..packs...a...day! How the fuck did Art make it as long as he did?

I've wondered the same thing about chain smoker Mike Wallace.  Universe gave him 93% of a century.

Quote from: Catsmile on April 26, 2018, 07:57:26 PM

Is there a Tagalog name for the over-garment he's wearing?

Quote from: El Chorro on April 26, 2018, 07:48:28 PM
So it sort of makes sense that Art left a suicide note outlining how he wanted the news imparted, but the police blew his macabre plan by releasing the story ahead of "schedule."

That would explain why everyone is so oddly upset about it.

Unfortunately, ^^ this.

Quote from: albrecht on April 26, 2018, 07:20:06 PM
Yep. And besides that the guy lives in, somewhat, rural Nevada adjacent to BLM land. Who wouldn't expect gun-shots, fireworks, etc all the time?

Lazar used to have entire pyrotechnic conventions out there.  Man, what happened to those.
