George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[Alienigma]

Another Nooryism from 01-07-15 to add to the list:

"Poor old Copernicus is turning over in his...(two second pause as he valiantly attempts to work out the math)...1500 year old grave."

Well, if Noron can accept the idea of geocentrism then I suppose it's not a stretch for him to think Copernicus lived and died three centuries before the Viking Age.

Aluminum

True story: Humphrey Davy originally called it Alumium. Then he changed it to Aluminum and the Americans followed suit. Then all his chemistry mates said "Oi Humph -- metals have to end in -ium." So he changed it to Aluminium but the Americans all said "Fuck those Limeys, will they never make up their minds?" and refused to change again.

wikipedia apparently uses the "Aluminium" spelling:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium

Two variants of the metal's name are in current use, aluminium (pronunciation: /ˌæl(j)ʊˈmɪniːəm/) and aluminum (/əˈluːmɪnəm/)â€"besides the obsolete alumium. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) adopted aluminium as the standard international name for the element in 1990 but, three years later, recognized aluminum as an acceptable variant. Hence their periodic table includes both. IUPAC internal publications use either spelling in nearly the same number.

Whoa, Copernicus lived in the Dark Ages -- same as George.

In Quayle's defense, he and his rambling comments are both frequently hillarious, though he doesn't mean to be joking.

Oh, he's great.

He starts off sounding slightly normal and then builds to a fever pitch which makes you begin to wonder if he's under the same combination of chemicals that Hermann Goering ate.

Quayle was a rational person until he ingested chemtrails.

Noory has 30 days of vacation he has not yet taken... you may have a prayer- but I doubt it.


On the other hand, perhaps somebody will serve him a pizza roll.

I swear Noory has to be the inspiration for this:

[Walks_At_Night]

I haven't listened to Coast to Coast in a very long time [started listening to that stoner dude out of San Diego - and
enjoying him for the most part].   Figured it was a new year and thought that maybe things have improved.  Fired up the show George had with the guy that lost all that weight.  Jeez Louise was that painful........   Reminded me of that bit Chris Farley did on SNL.   "Remember that time you lost 300lbs and had huge flaps of loose skin?   That was awesome."

It's amazing really.   You could take a blind dude and ask him to hammer nails.  He probably would suck at first but over time
he would improve.  Not so with poor George.  Day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year and hell I guess it is now decade after decade, the horridness continues.

Well Noory went down to st louis
He was lookin' for a show to steal
He was in a bind 'cause Tommee was way behind
And he was willin' to make a deal

When he came across this great showman
Speakin' on a microphone and playin' it hot
And Noory jumped up on a hickory stump
And said, "Man, let me tell you what"

"You probably didn't know it
But I'm a radio man too
And if you care to take a dare
I'll just make a bet with you"

"Now you play a pretty good showman, man
But give Georgie his due
I'll bet a oscar gold against your soul
I think I'm better than you"

The boy said, "My name's Art Bell
And it might be a sin
But I'm gonna take your bet, you're gonna regret
I'm the best there's ever been"

Art you book your guest and play your bumpers hard
'Cause hell's broke loose in st louis and Noory deals the cards
And if you win you get this shiny oscar made of gold
But if you lose Noory gets your soul

Noory opened up his case
And he said, "I'll start this shown"
And fire flew from his fingertips
As he fired up his microphone

And then he pulled his mic in good and close
And it made an evil hiss
And a band of demons joined in
And it sounded something like this

When Noory finished
Art said, "Well you're pretty good old son
But you just sit down in that chair right there
I'm gonna show you how this stuff's done"

Fire on the mountain, run boys, run
The Noorys in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in the bread pan pickin' at dough
Granny does your dog bite? No child, no

Well that ol' Noory bowed his head
Because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden oscar
Down on the ground at Art's feet

Art said, "Noory never come back
You never ever wanna try again
I done told you once you son of a bitch
I'm the best there's ever been"

He played, 'Fire on the Mountain', run boys, run
The Noory's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in the bread pan pickin' at dough
Granny does your dog bite? No child, no

Whether you love 'em or hate 'em, chances are you rely on numbers every day of your life. Where do they come from, and what do they really do for us? This hour: stories of how numbers confuse us, connect us, and even reveal secrets about us.

Radiolab's cohost Robert Krulwich would be my choice to replace Snoory as host of Coast.

Jorchie Porchie, Puddinhead, it ain't no lie,

That show is mediocre on a good day.

Krulwich has a show where he only needs to be on air for something like 1 hour 30 minutes per month (that's working with a partner). He would go from that to a show where he was on air for 400 something hours per month, no partner. The skill set might not be there.
