What in the world ever happened to Art Bell's Pizza Punch?

The product is almost unrecognizable today.

Dig today's poll, Flmjirgindy pretty much sums it up.

lol I know what this is without even listening to it.

Mystical order of the declawed gerbil my eye

I hope we can make the July date but it could slip because we are waiting for the final paperwork and I do not want to order all this stuff and start building till we have it signed. I have a Wife who wants a trip to the Philippines before I go on air so time is a issue. Phone lines, T1 and a lot more. I guess we have no hard deadline but I am not a patient person.

Glad your eager. Keep working on paperwork issue. I think the details/music are still biggest on obsticle. Can always sort the rest out later.

I kind of enjoy any show which looks at things in a light that I had never considered them and challenges people a little.  I actually liked a guest called "doctor dino" enough that I remember the show (probably) a decade and a half after hearing it.  I had never known what a young earth theory was (short of it was a theory that only nutty people would entertain), but I enjoyed listening to the guest make his points (a couple of which were good.)

Have on the odd guest who challenges our perceptions of reality (even if they are in all likelihood full of it...) The occasional hollow earth theorist or man with an endless hole... I would not want it nightly- but it was a niche change back in the day.

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."  --Aristotle

Thank you for providing me a quote to justify enjoying a show with a believer in the "young earth" without having to feel too guilty.

Dude, Brgldfebun is utter fubar.  I can't imagine what those poor souls are putting up with to make it through the day. 

*On Art's hatred of DST, I have to agree.  More than a handful of people didn't show up for work today because of it.  They had other excuses, but we all know the real reason is that lost hour.  Way to increase productivity, DST.   :

I'm liking all the suggestions for Art. It's bringing back some great memories for me. I'm not sure what else I can add to what has already been said. More open lines as that is where the magic happens. More hard science. Less new age stuff.

Can't wait for it Art.

I will not rest until Brgldfebun is destroyed.

I just change my vote. I was culturally conditioned to vote Flmjirgindy but I have since discovered that I am actually 1/16th
Brgldfebun (my mother's side) and now will openly embrace my Brgldfebun heritage. Brgldfebun uber alles!

I should add "live, as it is breaking" shows.  Where the networks would interview their "reporter" and ask what was happening you took the normal people and made it special because the person was not detached from the situation nor a "professional."

Can you imagine the Japanese tsunami through the words and thoughts of listeners of MITD?

Well, you'll have to get through me first, you fairy voiced ozzi!  I'm Brgldfebun to the core!

It is funny how George tells the pizza roll story.. and comes off looking like a complete idiot, but when Art glued his lips together, it was one of the greatest things I've ever heard.  Must come down to the personality and the presentation.

Anyone remember which show date it was when he glued his lips together?  I don't think many people could have turned that event into an on-air win the way Art did that night.

His telling of when he smoked the wrong end of a cigarette!  Great delivery of that story too. 

Might be wrong but I think that was told at the beginning of the Trumbull County Ohio 911 UFO tapes with Kenny Young.

I love this remix....

The bain of every smoker. It hated it when it was the last cig in the pack too.

Favorite shows:

If he's still around Wayne Green, and his list of "50 books you're crazy if you don't read" updated for 2015 hopefully.

It was already lit... sitting in the ash tray as he worked on a radio... picked it up and took a long draw--wrong end in the lips!  OUCH!!!

I know you don't need permission- but take a trip before starting this.  I think most of us understand that the other (better?) half will make demands and it is best to listen sometimes.

Besides, you can always taunt Dave and say that you dare doing research into your "offshore" studio.  I get the feeling that a completely unplanned studio in the Philippians will spontaneously appear before his planned Hawaiian studio will ever materialize...

I thought you were talking about lighting the wrong end. That happened to me all the time. Luckily I never took a drag of a lit cigarette. Ouch indeed.

I love you so much I personally don't care what you do!  Interview dry paint and I'll be in heaven.  Just be there because from the time you began to taper off through the announcement that YOU WILL return I have had a huge gaping unhealing hole in my heart that was also exacerbated years ago trying to listen to Dave who transmitted a virus that inflamed my heart to the point of a NDE where I met you out beyond the ozone and you said to me, "Go Back For One Day Shall Return," and I heard you and I listened and I'm here for you and for ANY monthly fee or any interview that you may get negative comments on or any break you need to rest your weary back just make sure you fill a pillowcase with 5 lbs. of uncooked rice and nuke it for 3 minutes, no more, just pull the bag out and shake it up and nuke it again for 30 second intervals until it feels hot enough and then place it behind your lower spine and butt and I think you'll find the chronicity of this condition responds well to the lovely moist heat though alternating with ice cold, soft gel packs can be effective as well.
