Art Bell

I think this might be Penn Jillette?

Nah, Penn's not that stupid.  That idiot tried to claim a private website is a public forum and a democracy.

The only thing he didn't claim was that the first amendment applies here. (protip: It doesn't!)

No. I have however thrown many midgets back in my younger days in a drunken stupor. I tossed a midget once in a Superman costume in Philly at a New Years party in a club. A lot of fun.

You are kind of a Hannibal Lecter guy aren't you?

i thought it had a nice WCBS quality to it.

Every version of Skype I install is worse than the next.

[fromwomewhere outthere]

You people are nuts. You are such jock sniffers of Bell that you can't debate reasonably. No wonder he posts here. No constructive criticism from anyone.  Forums in 2015 have been reduced to this.

That will be fine Lisa.

so you're saying skype is getting better.  wrong, foreigner.

[21st Century Man]

I see that there has been a lot of drama on this thread the last day or two.  Sounds like MV and others gave Mr. Hanky Panky a good spanky.

[jazmunda]

I'm a mess. I don't know what I'm saying. I'd blame it on alcohol but that usually makes me more coherent.

I put my head into work and I finally look up and this thread is invaded. I miss all the fun....

Just kidding!

I'm listening to The Spec Sheet on DMDN right now.

This one has a somewhat more subtle approach. It sometimes posts links or quotes from articles degrading to Art .. but intersperses those with benign links and pics -- between calling us sycophants or worse. As indicated by its uncanny ability to post links and pics -- original thoughts are foreign... insults many.. indignation common as its pseudo-intellect.

Just an FYI -- don't be baited. Been there done it. Done.

If you have a point to make then please make it. Otherwise keep your pointless, and negative scurrilousness to yourself, or express it to some other who cares to hear it.....because I don't. Please keep your accusations accurate. The person that I identified as a sycophant was well aware of why I did it. He became quite rude and offensive towards a person who came into the thread and stated his negative and critical opinions about Art Bell. He (the sycophant) basically said he was infatuated with Art Bell and his greatness; he idolizes and worships the ground that Art Bell walks on, and the air that he breathes (or exhales?). I believe he was responding the way that he was responding towards the person that was being critical about Art Bell was because he harbors a man-crush for Art Bell.

I blame the downfall of Skype on Microsoft. It was pretty good until they took over.

I can't speak to MV's recordings since I haven't heard them, perhaps he should play some on the GabCast.

If I remember correctly MV has played them multiple times both on the Trainwreck show and during at least one Gabcast.

I don't know, I heard Hancock was thoroughly debunked after Fingerprints of the Gods came out, not necessarily as an intentional fraud but as someone who cherry picked his facts and ignored contradictory evidence.  I never read his stuff or looked into it because I lost interest after hearing this.

'Fingerprints' have been comprehensively taken apart a few times, most notably on the Bad Archeology blog. This stuff simply doesn't hold together. I was having a look at some talks Hancock was giving about "Magicians" and the material he is about to put into the book looks like the stuff he was presenting in "Fingerprints". It simply doesn't hold together while investigated by anyone with some knowledge in the field.

It's a pity he appears on "Ancient Aliens" H2's horseshit pile when they take more spiritual and self-contained (no fleshy aliens having kinky sexy sex with early apes) approach to ancient civilizations. This thing is an intellectual disgrace. At least it's good Hancock remains clear about his views on the ancient aliens bullcrap of EvD and Sitchin.

Still I like Graham for his earlier journalistic work and his fiction books. And he always makes great and entertaining radio when interviewed by Art. He is also the natural first guest after the end of Dark Matter, let's keep the continuity.

About pot - he quit but he still smoked some with Joe Rogan in his appearance last year.

This is too cool not to share here in hopes that art etc sees it.

And just like that. The falcon is the most realistic comic book character.

Another topic - who's going to be the first caller? Andy from Australia?

I've retired. Plus Art had a restraining order taken out.

Crap, it's George from Martinez then...

I thought that guys name was George Martinez. 

I might have to come out of retirement if MV will release me from my NC.

Ah, that's right!

You should, your calls were always fun.

This would be a great guest for Art. What a show that would be.

Thanks. I had fun calling in despite my part in the demise. (I have been exonerated by Art himself )

The best part of Dark Matter was the live chat threads on BellGab.

I cannot wait to experience these threads again with Midnight in the Desert.

I hope so too, this will divide the attention this thread is getting into a few separate threads that have more isolated topics. Due to time difference it's very hard for me to follow this thread, I just wake up to 10-15 new pages and I lose all the fun of taking part as it goes.

No, the George we talk about will ask Art for an interview and gas money to get to Pahrump.

Cool. Neutral territory. MITD will be early morning for you.

I just hope arts new show works out great for him and does even better numbers then the old one. It seems like right at the peek of his sucesse he got shit on with a ton of family problems. I hope this is the second chance at the peek again😀. I have his old shows on aying all day long it was so great to hear some of the topics he coverd. Didnt care for kaku and things like that but everyone has thier fav bell moments.  Art if ur reading this i know ur putting ur studio together and getting everything ready. Please stay away from the super glue 😂

[Sumthins Goin On]

I think that Jaz and Mr. Fidget are using the same subversive Canadian techniques to overthrow talk radio and take control of the US. Me thinks there might be some collaboration by using secret back scatter satellites riding on directional HAARP waves in order to connect first time - every time.

What about Jaz's exclusive direct-line from Australia?
