George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[ChewMouse]

This might help, Hal. No empty pizza rolls boxes in this one! Probably dead birds, though. It's a conundrum.

[Treading Water]

It's a conundrum.

Ahhhhhahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

[ziznak]

Damn Ziz! Beat us to it

OMG I'm totally gonna make one like this


and hows about we just take the front panel or a side from the pizza box... mail him that?  In an envelope it'll look like a friggin post-card right?  We could inundate him with totino's pizza roll upc's or just box covers!!!  This would give me a new excuse to splurge on crappy pizza rolls and watch my GI tract clog up.


BRILLIANT!!!

Not very long ago I discovered that I am indeed old fashioned regarding punctuation and writing in general.  I still use 'two spaces' after every sentence before beginning a new sentence.  Not very long ago this was considered the norm.  However, with such literary experts as grocery store tabloids leading the way, two spaces have now been reduced to one, and can now be seen everywhere from the Internet to academic papers.  For me, two spaces after a sentence not only is more pleasing to the eye, but provides for more differentiation of sentences, thus an easier reading experience.  My well written English text books clearly set the standard at two spaces.  Call me old fashioned, but I'm not changing.

I'm a member of the Two Spaces After a Period mafia myself, dating to way back in the day when I had that shit drilled into my head in Catholic school.  I agree that the white spaces do help, and I've just gotten used to hitting the space bar twice.  I worked for a print magazine for a few years, and they actually used one space, which to me made for awkward typing and awkward-looking text.

O'buma appointed self-avowed Communist as a TSAR. Worshippers of Mao as undersecretaries. And the man has become a millionaire himself, while seeking to tax anyone who has any appreciable income. IF you think he's not a Communist, get copies of the late Allen Drury's books where he talks about what happens when a Communist/Socialist becomes President and how it leads to the destruction of the US. O'buma's wife was never proud of this country either. He had an economic council and didn't use it or call a meeting for so months. The man doesn't have a clue how to run a business, nor has he ever created a single job. - I can't help it if low information voters who continually ignored every bit of evidence on how bad the guy was/is voted for him. They wanted to keep the checks rolling in. In 2 US cities, riots occurred recently because they ran out of cheese and section 8 vouchers. What will happen one day when his welfare base wakes up and finds out that the money isn't there anymore to pay the checks ?

please try and limit politics to the politics board.

Stand strong.  I too have been indoctrinated into the double space brotherhood...  It's not something you can just opt out of once you're in.

Sorry about the political rant. Its jsut that there's so much about Obama that annoys the hell about me.

But I digress.

I used to have a great English teacher Mrs. Beach who was from England. She would box our ears if you gave her any lip but she taught us how to properly write in English. She even published her own book which she gave us on how to use adverbs, prepositions, adjectives and the like. I wish I still had it. Best damned book on English usage and punctuation that I've ever seen. I always use one space between sentences & had never heard of 2 spaces until now.

One pet peeve I have is when I see those scrolling topic things on Fox, the Food Network and elsewhere. Some of them are closed captioning and some are for news stories. Whomever does them can't spell worth a damn with misspellings and atrocious use of words and descriptions. I see that a lot with local news too.

Two spaces after a period. Why? Is there some matter of the time space continuum that will be disrupted if only one space is used?


In my previous life I was a printer... hated every minute of it, but I know a thing or two about typesetting. I also know a little bit about pica and elite typewriters. But I am guessing most of you 2-spqce types are unaware that most magazines have been single spacing their after the period since the 50's.


As irritants go, holding on to the 2 spaces makes me better argument is really annoying.

[NoMoreNoory]

I'm all for inundating the Snoron with pizza roll boxes or whatever else we think might get under his skin. Question is: Who's got the address? Let's do this!

Thanks, MV.  Now I don't have to recoil in shame every time I'm marked with the scarlet letter for making a correction or have to cheat and delete the old message and rewrite it.

yeah, actually, that should have been disabled back in april of 2008.  i don't know why it never occurred to me.

I don't think there is anything innately better about a person using 2 spaces instead of 1.It is more of a phenomenon to discuss rather than something to take personally.What the hell, let's use no space from now on.What's wrong with that?Yes, this is a useless conversation.

I predict this thread will hit a million views by the end of this month.Thats awesome.

Could be, I haven't checked that. But I do feel safe in predicting a posting milestone: if things keep popping like they have so far in 2013, I feel this particular thread, which is the very heart and soul of the forum, will hit 20,000 posts before the month is out.

Time to point out that Page 666 is bearing down on us....
Or in the Nooronese 'Here we are on Page 663, folks, but I'm tellin' ya, in the beat of an eye........'

[b_dubb]

no coincidences. I predict George nooron himself will mistakenly post here on page 666 thinking this site is a complaint forum for pizza rolls

George Noory sucks, has sucked in the past and will continue to suck in the future and throughout all time and space.


There! I've done my bit to bring on the 666 page.

scratch that last comment.

But I did hate it when I just posted something, then discovered some spelling error, and the only way to fix without looking like I "edited" was to delete and start over. Thanks

[McPhallus]

I do not understand this presumed stigma toward self-editing.  Does it give off an OCD vibe?  Please explain?

I believe it's just part of a desire to strive for perfection, the ability to correct mistakes without being branded.   Just think of it as something Noory would never worry about.

[HAL 9000]

It's really not much more complicated than I thought/think it looks messy. Who cares if someone edited a post? I found it to be annoying clutter (on other forums too of course). If just after I hit "post" and then noticed and obvious error, be it spelling, or left out an important word, or screwed up a link, I just prefer not having that "edited by" comment ... it's unnecessary. I do like to use correct grammar/spelling/punctuation when possible - is that OCD or I just to prefer to use correct style? I'm also a horrible typist, and use only a few fingers to type, and my brain is moving much faster than I type, often leaving gaping holes in my text unless I proofread diligently, and even then shit usually slips in/out. I wouldn't read much more into it than many people just like their posts to be correct,versus those,who,don't really care(and they no who they are)how they come across.(and do so purposefully)

I see that Art came online tonight at 2235 EST. Hi Art.

[Longbow]

Please keep the lunatic fringe comments on another thread.  I do not listen to Rush, am not in a militia, do not own a bomb shelter and would prefer not to be lambasted with moronic theories while perusing the Noory sucks thread.

Well said. Thank you. I have a 25 year old son who is just now discovering art through the fine art stream.He told me today that he now gets it why we are so pissed that George is now the voice of coast to coast.  Let us not lose sight of Noory's suckage. For our children if nothing else.

'Jeno's Pizza Rolls' [01] - TV commercial (1981)

I like that commercial. I especially like the blue-eyed blonde eating the pizza rolls. She was hotter than a bus full of fat women going to see Ricky Martin.

Hey, HAL 900, you probably know this.  What does HAL read if you move each letter one step up in the alaphbet?  That Stanely Kubrick was one braineack, full of surprises!


My contribution to getting to pg. 666

[mombird3]

I received the same reply from General Foods that is now also part of Pillsbury. I am a subscriber to the Pillsbury Cook Book monthly. I forgot that Betty Crocker are Pillsbury are the same company. I hope they do something to Noory.
Most microwaved food today says to let the food cool. Why blame the company for George's mistake of not waiting for it to cool? I call that dumb!

Those page numbers mean something only to people who have 30-post page breaks. Some people are set for 20 posts per page, and I believe smoe might be set for more than 30. So, literally, YMMV from theirs. But most of us I think are set for 30 posts per page. And for them the magic point will be 20 posts into page 667.

And while we're at it...my 9 year old son has heard replays of both old and new C2C shows. Even he has expressed intense dislike of the Snoron, saying "This guy interrupts people too much!" and "He doesn't ask good questions!" On the other side of the coin, when it's Art's voice he hears, I find him pulling up a chair next to me to listen along. He is an intelligent and naturally curious boy with lots of questions about the world around him. Art conveyed a natural and genuine curiosity in all things, asking the questions that were on the lips of all of us listening. This key element is completely absent from the current bastardization of C2C.

George Noory must....go. For the children.
