George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[HAL 9000]

No doubt. I actually proofread everything i write, aside from forums, not especially concerned when  throwing out a quick post, butinthefutureillcheckmygrammerjustforyouhal

Actually, you are incorrect. I looked at every post you've made (as of this writing - which contain sentences of more than 2-3 words), and there is a purposeful effort on your part to forgo placing spaces around any punctuation. This practice has become an annoying internet meme, perpetuated by otherwise intelligent people. I just don't get it. I am not the interwebz grammar police, but your lack of aforementioned spaces is, as I said, a meme which I fail to understand why it has become popular in non-limited character forums.

To say you "...actually proofread everything i write," is just intellectually dishonest, and factually wrong. Your style is purposeful, and has become popular on the web, and is annoying if, for no other reason, that it is indicative of a mindless adaptation of the proverbial lemmings analogy.

Rather than deny that you do it (which as I've pointed out, you've done in every post), I'd respect you more for saying, "I am a lemming, and I prefer not to include spaces around punctuation because I think it's cool to mindlessly follow nonsensical internet memes, so fuck off."

I guess it's just one of my peeves (pet or otherwise), and my feeble attempt at trying to interject some modicum of very basic English. Carry on in whichever way you choose (and this goes toward others as well - you're not the only one); but for me, it diminishes one's perceived intellect just a wee bit when such memes become commonplace.

Admittedly, this would more appropriately be in the "Things That Annoy You" thread, but here you were. And while you probably won't believe it, this was not meant to be ad hominem (thank you Sardondi). Welcome to CG. George Noory still sucks.



Then again, maybe I'm cranky cuz I have not had anything to eat in 24 hours.

Wow. The last time I saw something as thorough as that, the target had a great big "Z" sliced into him someplace.

It's actually worse than you think. I noticed that I spelled your screen-name wrong, so rather than correct it and have that God-forsaken "edited last by" message appear at the bottom of my post, I deleted it, then posted with the correct spelling. I know it doesn't get much more anal than that

Heh. It sounds like me - Guess who deleted his and re-posted just so there'd be no confusion as to order. O, the shame, the shame!

I noticed immediately and had a good chortle.

I just listened to some of yesterday's Somewhere In Time, which was the 4/25/01 show, which led with a former soldier who participated in a 1982 cleanup of a UFO in the Fulda Gap on US military reservation land in Germany. It was exciting, made so primarily by Art's questioning. But what really made the segments I heard very exciting was an ongoing mini-drama about an American scientist stationed in the Antarctic who had a serious case of pancreatitis (as I heard it). He was supposedly being flown out in a technically very difficult series of coordinated flights and movements, with different nations involved.

But then there was a report that the scientist didn't want to be flown out, then that he was missing. Then there was a leak about how the whole rigamarole was related to a possible UFO situation. Somehow Richard C. Hoagland was involved, and he and Art spent a segment doing what amounted to real-time on-air investigation of the situation. I have no idea what the upshot was because I had to turn it off. But it was compelling radio. It was incredibly exciting, because it felt like I was right there, in the middle of things. I have to give Hoagland his due, he was making excellent points, and asking the right questions. It was classic Art, made possible because of Art's intelligence and experience. 

And I thought about what a hash George would have made of it. He would have screwed it up from the first. What a perfect example of the difference in the two men. It was the 1/19/13 SIT show, of Art's 4/25/01 program. It ran into 2 segments I think, and began in thew middle of the segment after ABBA's "SOS". See if you don't agree.

I listened to the Veil of Veronica show, and I heard the voice very, very clearly.

It said, "Noory, you suck to the sixth stage."

At the end of the show, it said "Through eternity."

We need to listen to the voice, it contains infinite wisdom and truth. 

[Sardondi]

I listened to the Veil of Veronica show....

Well, I'm more interested in the Sweater of Betty and the Hat of Jughead, but it's purely a matter of taste. 


I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry.

Jughead is a good name for Noory. The pizza roll story proves it. Next will be how dangerous microwaved food is to eat. Noory will go on in history as the worst talk radio host.

Is it possible to slander a product?  If so, George Noory, host of the Coast to Coast AM radio program (owned by Clear Channel, syndicated by Premier) has done so repeatedly.

Noory has told the story several times on air of his late-night stop at a convenience store, his selecting pizza rolls, his cooking the pizza rolls in the microwave, and his burning his mouth on them so badly, he had to make a trip to the hospital.

According to Noory, he read the instructions on the packaging,which said "Be sure the rolls are cool."  Noory is implying negligence on your part, and said, on-air, that he will campaign to protect children from your product.

I've read your packaging, and it clearly tells how long to cook and to wait two-minutes after cooking before eating.

Why is Noory committing this slander against your fine product?

You purposely misspelled "because" as "cuz" which is indicative of tortured English found in adolescent text conversations.  Sorry, couldn't help myself.

I listened to that SIT show on Saturday night with similar thoughts.  Yes, even with Hoagland, it was ENTERTAINING RADIO, something completely beyond Noory.  Noory would have been doing his usual cue card questions and would have had me asleep before his first Carnivora commercial.

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 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.

You know me too well "bro."   

But I'm also fine with slang in very informal settings, such as it is here; but prefer at some minimalist attempt at basic punctuation. After Saturday night's show with Ann Blake-Tracy, I've decided to start using SSRI's to treat my compulsion for punctuation.

As a side note, I have some more "juicy" tidbits on the fraudulent "Dr." Ann Blake-Tracy I'll share in another thread soon.

That must be why Noory said on the air the other night he has never revealed the brand name of the pizza rolls that burned his mouth.
That way his generic pizza roll comments can't cause a legal problem with a specific brand? 

[HAL 9000]

I was out shopping last night, and pizza rolls were on sale. I almost bought some, because I actually like frozen pizza rolls nuked in the micro, but decided my IBS might object.

Now I wish I had - I was wondering if it would be worth the 75¢ postage to mail Snoory the empty box with a few witticisms included, asking for a "shoutout" on an upcoming show. It might be humorous if many people started sending him empty pizza roll boxes.

Or not.

He won't get away with it.  Totino's (Pillsbury) seems to own the name "pizza roll."  A quick search reveals only Totino's and homemade ones - including a recipe from Pillsbury itself.
Dammit, all this talk has me thinking of buying my second-ever bag of them.

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.

Hal. Now I don't want to start a fight here, I don't want to stir up trouble, but it seems to me you might be lacking the intrinsic "cruel as hell" feature with which some of us are formed.

See, sending empty boxes is...well, it's not even a good practical joke. George would just say in confusion, "Why are my fans sending me empty pizza roll boxes? Could they be saying stay away from pizza rolls, George!? Yes, that must be it."

If we're going to use the postal system, it's rather pointless to mail empty boxes. A crueler choice would be dead birds, but I won't do that.

If we could start phoning in, a funny thing would be to frame a legitimate question and then shout, "Look out, George, there's a pizza roll right behind you!"

That would be funny.

Do you...have you a bit more understanding now?

Let me mouse around and see if there's some sort of book or something for you.
