Art Bell

[paladin1991]

This reminds me of another lie Dave perpetrated to try to convince Art's fans that he was the second coming of Art Bell.  It was when Dave learned that Art was using his ham radio activities to stay in touch with his fans via an internet shortwave on-line tuner application and an #800 number phone patch.  Suddenly Dave started talking about how he'd always been so fascinated by ham radio that he'd decided to get a ham radio operator's license.  When a combination of circumstances prevented Art from so visibly continuing those particular activities, (thanks, asshole trolls!), Dave never mentioned ham radio ever again.  That lifelong fascination of his simply...vanished.  Like Casey the dog. 

I'm gonna try and call Dave and ask about his damn dog and his flippin' 'fascination' with ham radio.  See if he will give out a bogus call sign or some such.

He'd probably try to make it sound similar to Art's, so:

Art's call sign - W60BB

Dave's call sign - u7BOOB

Well some people appreciate getting autographed pieces of sticky paper to place in their books. Kinda almost like getting the book signed from across the globe.

Pixies - Where Is My Mind - High Definition

I do not suggest this as theme song material, Art.  I like dogs (& cats, I actually 'owned' a MaineCoon, he {Lucifer/Xion} has since left me but I think he still lives on, he was no nutless tom-cat).  I also like turtles, had a dog named Turtle, who had an encounter with a GIGANTIC snapping turtle with his sister Bell.  Cocker Spaniels are awesome miniature versions of Springer Spaniels...  Blahbity.

Mr. Bell, I love that you are posting/lurking in and around this place.  So good to hear (your voice in my mind) when you type a message.  You rule, sir!

Carry on with your bad self!

Are there CAPS in the Mandarin?

  Them pictures those folk use must be huge!

I don't think they use the Chinese characters in English class

I don't think they use the Chinese characters in English class

Of course they do. How would they know that pizza rolls = 比萨卷?

[DocHolliday]

I was thinking about this the other day was how Art would talk about a live phenomenon. 

In particular was a night in the late 90s and my friend's dad came home from work talking about seeing some big streak of light or flame across the sky on his way home from work.  This happened in Oregon, and later that night Art was on the air talking about that sighting (although I seem to remember people in Washington maybe calling in as well?), and even taking calls from other people corroborating the sighting.

I miss that kind of stuff.

[lonevoice]

Of course they do. How would they know that pizza rolls = 比萨卷?

I'm so glad you know how to translate Chinese!  There's a distinct possibility that when Art posts/deletes his secret message it will be in Chinese. 

Get ready to go F5 yourselves, davebots.  Incoming...
