George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[sleeplessinca]

I've been thinking there is an upside to just about everything.

Snoorz shows up and pulls down a big paycheck which means he ought to be paying taxes.   

He has kept the show going so he helps provides lots of jobs for both his enormous production staff, the turmeric industry and numerous researchers.

I might think of more if I work at it.

Here's some more upside, so to speak.  Let's review the past week or so.  We've established Dave is a slow-learner, who likes guns, and eating hot dogs.  Sounds like some real progress. Maybe he can take up the banjo next and get a nice shack in Appalachia.

Appalachia's got 99 problems, and Noorie ain't one of em'.
Why would you want to insult Appalachia that way?
Them there 2 toothed hillbilly's is far more interestin' and deep than he is.
Just don't turn your back on one of them if they tell you "Boy, you got a purdy mouth!".

Ah, Monday.

What time will I'm not Art, I'm not Tommy, and I'm not Lily report in?

Noory has had more than a decade to polish his skill, and he didn't. Whether he lacked the desire or management didn't support a more interesting dynamic... I just don't care anymore. Noory spent the last of his credibility with me more than 2 years ago.

If reports started coming out tomorrow that Noory had suddenly become the best interviewer ever, I would still refrain from his show for a very long time...........

I will give you props for staying mostly positive in your arguments. But, and I think you already know this, you haven't converted anyone here. I respect your arguments, but not noory's skill.

Nailed it!
George is just a source of amusement now.  Stopped listening to George about three years ago, when it was so apparent that there would be no improvement.  In fact, George was becoming worse. 

George 'woke up on third base' and thought he'd hit a three bagger, in regards to the successful night show that was handed to him.  George never learned his craft after a decade ....... and now, many folks just don't really care anymore.

I can just picture your avi delivering your one-liners

Another upside to Snoorz - rich fodder (we all know what that is...)

[aldousburbank]

I can just picture your avi delivering your one-liners

And i can just picture the rest of yer tats.

[sleeplessinca]

See what I mean?

Awesome

[sleeplessinca]

All this trying to make a Margarita out of Lyme's is giving me a headache. 

Maybe I'll go do something less painful like get another tat.

[ziznak]

its a shame theres a real "tats = trash" faction here.

[sleeplessinca]

I liked your last icon more, ziz.

Snoorey just wants to keep his marketshare and has no choice but to up his game.  You can't blame a guy for that. 

He has had the only game in town and just got some competition - finally. 

Welcome back Art!!!!

I for one love the new avi

Just to be clear, I would be delighted to see George fired, humiliated, and living under a bridge.  With Tommy.  He took a show that was a lot of people's favorite, and utterly ruined it.  On purpose and without remorse.

He would rather have a lousy show than put in the effort it would take to be better.  He has distain for the guests, callers, and topics.  He spends his on-air time doing any number of things instead of listening to the callers and guests, and having a conversation - no follow ups, no thoughtful questions, just on to the next cue card when they stop to take a breath.  He has shown us in as many different ways as he can think of that he is not a nice guy.  His personal stories don't ring true, yet manage to still make him seem creepy.  He is uninterested and uninformed about the world around him, doesn't know the meaning of common idioms and words with more than 2 syllables, and is wholly incompetent to be on the air or host a show.

And for 10 long years, he didn't care.  We all lost 10 years of the special type of entertainment created by Art Bell.  We lost it due to one dumb and lazy person - George Noory.

So now, after 10 years of having lost our show to this buffoon, he wants to 'get better' and have us listen to his show after Art's as some kind of glorious nighttime radio utopia?

Beautifully well said. It's the Declaration of Non-co-dependence.

[aldousburbank]

The Ouija board show and all the buildup really turned me against Noorie and his suckage, at that point I knew without a doubt that it wasn't just me it was him. At that point I've been mostly Norrie free.

Maybe George should do a magic 8 ball show instead, or minnie mynie mo because that would be absolutely swell.

Ah, Monday.

What time will I'm not Art, I'm not Tommy, and I'm not Lily report in?

Well, it's the start of another week of on-the-job training with the Bellgabbers for Dave.  The Chief Mad will no doubt be checking in with us, along with a few other Mads and a marine mammal, or two.  It's usually just before C2C "movie sign!!!" although he does like to surprise us with a "peek-a-boo, I-see-you!!!", every once in awhile.   Keep those training wheels on Dave, we don't want "yuh to get a boo-boo and uh hurt yourself, again."  I wonder what his avatar will be this time?

[sleeplessinca]

Thanks.   

No one liked my margaritas out of Lyme's?  C'mon - that was genius.

I feel so misunderstood; tough room.

Now there's a scary thought.  Are you sure you want to ask that question?

I laughed silently and wondered why we are so funny early on a Monday. Then i stopped laughing.

Hey, waiting around for Noory? 

[SciFiAuthor]

I would guess every single poster here gave George years to improve and put out a good show.  Years.  As far as I know the first thread dedicated to documenting and lamenting George's suckage, and making fun of it, was started by a poster at GLP around 2006 - a good 5 years into George's regime.

After George spent months building up a proposed show where he would come on live ad do a session with an Ouija Board, he canceled it at the last minute.  He talked about it all the time, built it up, got listeners invested with anticipation, only to weasel out just before the time came.  A frustrated poster started that classic George Noory Sucks thread, and 7 years and over 7000 pages of posts there and here the idea that George Noory Sucks is still going strong.  Combined, it has to be the longest thread in internet history.  And probably the most humorous.

Regardless, George plowed on heedless and uncaring.  He had 'system'.  He knew radio.  He didn't need or want input.  He ignored it all, and decided everyone else was wrong.  Haters.



Even today we see the echoes from that failed show, all those personal stories that almost have to be false - Casey the Dog, kidnapping in Mexico, healing people of cancer, all the stories from his childhood, all his experiences and people he knows, so many stories that are frankly not believable.  Add to that the story of th Hawaii studio PremRat is building for him and any of a number of things he's said that just don't ever pan out.


No we are being asked to believe he wants our advice on how to get better?  Sheesh.

Man, we gotta get you some blood pressure pills. I don't know, a lot of the more malicious claims--such as the dead babies--seem like classic demonization rather than simply having fun and saying Noory sucks (which he currently does). We saw the same sort of thing with Art on the old BBS and Usenet groups, and I see those same sorts have been active trying to get on Art's facebook page. So shoot me for having disdain for that level of things, whether it's directed at Noory or Art. 

[ItsOver]

Now there's a scary thought.  Are you sure you want to ask that question?

Well after seeing last week how he seems to prefer his grandkids served soft-boiled (just like my favorite 'bot  ), I'm sure we're all just a little curious what strange theme will be working with this week.  Will we be going in the direction of Dr. Hannibal Lecter or Pollyanna, I wonder.

To some, what is the porpoise?

Or, perhaps, Hannibalanna?  YIKES!

Ah, yes, maybe we'll witness "The Many Faces of Dave" meets "The Many Faces of Lilly" for the ultimate fighting championship of the ages.  The popcorn is in waiting.

[Meanandnasty]

Here are my questions of the day:  Why after ten years of being derogatory to all who post here by calling people haters and saying they live in mud huts, has he decided to intermingle with such a lower form of life? 

Did he see a vision of the other side that if he did not reform that he would be sentenced to living in those mudhuts, or better yet being the hired help to sweep those floors, when the haters go out and carnage at the local Supersize McDonalds?

Why did he come to us for tips, when there is so much more "specialized help" available?

Does he view this as being good to the mentally challenged or maybe he has developed a Savior complex, as in I will show you the way, I am here take the olive branch, and you will be better for it?

Could it be we say that he sucks, but in reality he does not know how because of tongue deficits, and he needs tutoring? 

That is my five questions at five or as near as I can make it.  Answers wanted back by midnight.

[ItsOver]

...Why did he come to us for tips, when there is so much more "specialized help" available?...

Here's my suggestion for "specialized help," M&N.  There's going to be a really good radio show host starting in September Dave could listen to as part of his pre-show prep.  I understand the new guy's won an award or so for his past performance and has quite a loyal following.  Dave could pick-up a lot of good tips and ideas.  I wonder why Dave can't just wait and tune in to him, as part of his radio show host rehabilitation and leave us alone. I know I'll be tuning in to the new guy.

How are things going in the land of unicorns, rainbows, and Smurfs, M&N?  Keep fighting the good fight, I know how all that soft, gooey, sweetness can really turn a person.  Look what's happened to Dave.

I think that you are aligning Noory with Art to shift the focus away from Noory.  It is a fact that Noory likes news items about animals/children getting hurt.  I have never heard Art talk about that.

Not to go "all political and such," but isn't that similar to tactics recommended by this guy?



Other than that reference, I'll leave the politics to the political forum.
