George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[zeebo]

Tuned in, since the topic sounded cool (relativity, cosmology, multiverses etc.)  George starts off by mangling the topic of quantum mechanics, asking these garbled questions (paraphrasing):

"What does quantum mechanics mean to most people?  How many quantums are there?   Aren't there some that are the same but seem different? "

WTF?? C'mon you've got a heavyweight physicist on, treat the guy with some respect and do some prep for the show.  Aarrgh you're not gonna be able to just wing it on this one you lazy goof!

[zeebo]

This was followed by a moment of silence, and then the Doctor asking, confused, "Another quantum?"

Upon hearing this embarrassment, for a brief moment, I was hoping  the good doctor would respond with something crazy like "Of course George, there are exactly 17 quantums, everyone knows that."

[zeebo]

Physics professor: "When a terrestial planet forms near the sun, it won't have water on it."
George: "Well, that's true."

Thanks George for confirming that for him and us.  Until you gave your stamp of approval I wasn't sure if I should believe this highly learned and accomplished scientist.

God why do I keep tuning in to the these disasters, hoping that some good will come of it?  Turning it off now, and will hope that one of Art's classic interviews with M. Kaku will be on the stream sometime soon.

[Morgus]

Noory just asked the same question he has asked scientist guests many times before: "What could Einstein have accomplished with a computer?"
He still doesn't understand Einstein worked in theoretical physics not doing numeric calculations.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

The guest didn't seem very impressed with George's B in high school physics.

With such an emphasis on quantum effects in the new age movement, you would think someone who has the job of hosting a program like this would at least make an effort to understand what quantum mechanics is all about.  It just goes to show the disconnect between fiction of many new age thinkers and the actual science they pretend to base their ideas on.

[mombird3]

I think thus guest has been on so many times and the show is nothing new. THat is why I hate it so much.

[popple]

yall are just mad cause jorch knows about the other quantums and you dont!   

[zeebo]

yall are just mad cause jorch knows about the other quantums and you dont! 

George's universe is made up of little quantum pizza rolls flying around.

[Maxwell]

yall are just mad cause jorch knows about the other quantums and you dont!   

At least he hasn't asked about "Quantum of Solace."  Yet.

Last night's best story - It seems that Associate Producer Will Wilkerson is the grandson of William Wilkerson who built the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas.  According to history, Bugsy Siegel stepped in to complete the project when Wilkerson ran out of money.  But according to Will, Bugsy took the hotel and the grandfather had to go into exile in Paris.  Siegel was murdered in 1947, and according to Will, the family thinks the grandfather had something to do with the murder.

So, if we follow the usual connect-the-dots, guilt-by-association theory of many Coast guests, sNoory is mob connected.
George Noory still sucks.

[PB the Deplorable]

Noory obviously didn't understand what a prime number is...

Add that to the long, looong list of things George doesn't know but should.

[stevesh]

Jorch just said the mob ran the casinos with a cleansed fist.

Which explains the hand sanitizer in the bathrooms.

The first hour guest last night was there to talk about the so-called Fair Tax. I have no idea why C2C continues to have this dick on.

Three things. The Fair Tax claims to be revenue-neutral compared to the current income tax, but that's only true if government agencies pay the tax. If the Defense Department buys a cruise missile for one million dollars, they pay $300,000 to Treasury in taxes. That's like moving a $20 bill from your left pocket to your right pocket and calling it 'income'.

Second, the Fair Tax supporters claim the tax rate is 23%. Fact is, it's 30%, in the sense that if you spend $1, the tax will be 30 cents. The Fair Tax people pretend that 30% = 23%, using a formula no one else either understands nor accepts.

Third, the whole 'Fair Tax' idea depends on the fact that the income tax provision in the Constitution will be repealed. I could be wrong, but I suspect we are (and will be) politically divided as a nation for any constitutional amendment to be passed, ever.

Personally, I'd like to see a fair tax, but I would want it to be something like a flat 7% for everyone.

I've given careful analysis to this important frame from the Noory video.  The man on the right side of the screen is obviously pointing a particle-beam weapon at George, gangsta style, and is operating the triggering mechanism from a device in his left pocket.  The girl sitting below him has heard the weapon go off and is turning towards him.  The woman in the striped blouse obviously senses something is wrong and is cowering behind her man - Tommy is blocking her direct view of the back of George's head.  The woman on the left side of the screen, wearing shorts, has a better angle and can obviously see the fragment of skull blown from George's head.  Tommy must be involved in the conspiracy as he is obviously holding his water bottle down and out of the way, plus, he is not wearing a pink suit.  His blown kiss was probably a signal to the assassins. George's pointing gesture is an involuntary reflex from his alleged brain being penetrated by the beam.

The Definitive Compendium quietly celebrated its 5th birthday a few days ago. Five years of documenting Jorch's suckage. A tremendous feat, rivaled only by Jorch sucking for twice that length.

actually, the 5 year anniversary of the entire forum was on april 5th.  thanks for pointing this out.  the date slipped by me entirely.


the beginnings of the forum go back to around 2005 when i purchased the georgenoorysucks.com domain name (having no idea what to do with it).  in 2008, a former friend and former coastgab moderator named michael (who went by "max" around here) suggested i use the domain name to start a forum.  so i did.


in the summer of 2009, the GNS thread at godlikeproductions.com was shut down, so we received a flood of their users (and their trolls) in one huge rush.  it was fun for about a week, but then the paranoid, child-like behavior which resulted in the deletion of their own GNS thread started creeping into the culture around here.  this problem, exacerbated by horribly executed moderator decisions, wrecked the forum.  it was shut down for about three months.


the forum then reopened under the name coastgab.  i thought the name change might attract a more rounded group of people who weren't compelled to brainlessly type "george noory sucks" into every post.  it also opened the door to greater credibility for the forum as a whole (and, by extraction, for the complaints people were leveling against the show).  whether that change was effective or not is for anyone to assess.  i also decided not to let anyone else moderate the forum.  "too many cooks," as they say.  it's worked out fine.  this place would have to be ten times larger than it currently is for me to bring on another moderator.


as i think about the 5 year anniversary of coastgab, honestly, i can't help but feel a little sentimental.  rarely has a day gone by in these five years that i didn't log in.  through the forum i've made friends (and lost some of them), encountered every variety of human being imaginable, and learned a lot from some really brilliant people whose presence i'm thankful for and humbled by.  some of them are still here, some of them have died, some are just gone, and some have yet to find us.  it certainly has been a ride.

big thanks to everyone who posts on coastgab.  without you, the forum is a static nothing.


edit:  i've attached a screen shot of the forum from april 10, 2008... 5 days after its formation.  what a difference 5 years makes.

The only mob connection I see is Jorch dresses like he's in the mob.  If Hot Topic was the clothier of choice.  :

[NowhereInTime]

Eight. Hundred. Pages.

And we are just scratching the surface of suckitude that is Jorch Noory.

[Falkie2013]

The only mobs associated with Snoory are people trying to get away from him as quikly as possible, people who see him who are put into sleep, or if Snoorge sees himself in a fun house mirror.

Snorge in the Mafia ?

Give me a break.

Even the mob has standards.

[CampsieNP]

Congratualations to you MV for 5 years running CoastGab.
I THANK YOU for many hours of laughter and entertainment.
It was interesting to read some the back history since you started it all as well.
Again, many thanks to you.

[conscious comic]

...wha? I seem to have replied to a non-existent post.

ItsOver, I'm afraid you'll have to explain that one, it went right over my head.

I'm sorry Bob, let me clarify why I pulled it down...I realized that what I wrote may have been borderline insulting and even if not (to you personally) I took it down only because this is also my handle elsewhere and if it is ever found in a search, I do try to keep my communications as inoffensive as possible. That is...other than the one exception that I do make which is that there can be nothing too offensive, insulting or out of bounds when it comes to illustrating the irrefutable fact that GN Sucks!!!

Soon to be a milestone of 1000 pages and a day of C2C mourning.

Well, it would be more except as George says there are only 6 or 7 of us that either live in our mothers basements or in mud huts stealing electricity from our neighbors. 

Next time he gives us a shout out and tells us to 'get uh lifes', I'm going to remember the man who's lifetime highlight was being in a parade, smooshed in the back a convertable with Tommy, a fill in with the name of his show incorrectly written on a piece of paper and taped over the top of the original  invitees name, bored, in front of a sparse crowd who had no idea who he was.

[West of the Rockies]

Humor disclaimer:  I do not condone the physical assault on any person... 

But...

Any chance Noory might want to go tooling around Dallas, Texas in a convertible?  I understand Dealey Plaza is quite lovely in the spring!

Many people work hard to educate themselves, want to contribute to society, but end up in their mother's basements.  George Noory spreads ignorance, promotes superstition, and degrades the intellectual ability of society.  For that he makes a good living and is considered a hard working model citizen with a house and a job.  Society is really screwed up.

Yep.... Jorch is "Thuh man."  :

For George the basement thing is meant as an insult.   Yet this is a person who brags (lies?) about taking care of his adult children.

[Gay]

George the Creeper strikes again!

[ItsOver]

Ugh... I need to take a shower.     He needs to re-Kiwi his 'stache.

[Eddie Coyle]

 
     Those women had their next known picture taken by forsenic investigators after they were found in dumpsters with ligature marks.

[Scully]

In all fairness, my recollection is that Noory's version was closer to the news report than the description posted here.  He said the guy sawed his arms, and when the guest acted incredulous George seemed a little oblivious to the obvious problem of operating a saw with no arms, but continued by saying he used saws in the store to cut his arms down to the bone.  I don't remember him specifying a chainsaw (because I was visualizing a manual saw from the story) but that may be my memory.  He had also reported the same news story at the beginning of the show.

You are correct, GeorgieforPresident2216.  Mea culpa.  I went back and found what I thought I heard, and I was off. 


I didn't listen to the news report at the 1st of the show, nor had I heard any other coverage of the event.  What I heard was George tell the guest (April 10, Hour 3, @ 4:50) that an individual went into a hardware store in Los Angeles "and started sawing his arms off."  The guest paused and then said with obvious realization that this was impossible, "How did he manage to saw his arms..." George interrupted him to follow with "He sawed them to the bone."


I misheard the part about sawing them *to* the bone as having sawed them *through* the bone.  I'm glad I was wrong, and thanks for calling my attention to it.  I don't want to blame George of anything he didn't do.  He has enough on his conscience! 


Oh, and about the "chain saw" that was my brain filling in the blanks for me as to what it would take to have sawed through the bone.  I obviously reacted like a Pavlovian dog to the whole episode.  Sorry.
