I may be mistaken, but I thought MV accidentally hung up on maryanne while trying to answer another call. And what was with the people calling in and not saying anything? haha

[paladin1991]

It smells like a brewery in here.

*snif, snif*  Nope.  Smells like sex.

The good ol' humping dolphin .gif from back in the days when I was freebasing toomeric.

Ah, yes.  I wondered what the hell you were on.

[RoseGirl]

I figured people would be able to differentiate between a cuss word and a derogatory one. My bad.

You do realize that the word 'fag' comes from the Old English word 'fagot'...which was a bundle of sticks bound together to be burned for kindling. Much like they tied together and burned alive women and homosexuals during the good old middle ages.

Thought you might be interested.

your bad, indeed.  nice attempt at shitting on redacted's gig, though.

MV had commented on his child learning Arabic from Mrs. MV immediately before Noory came on, if I heard things correctly.  Noory probably just heard that.

I guess I missed that. It's really tough chatting, reading and listening to the podcast.

[nextgen.fm]

MV towel around the neck joke  last night , george laughed lol

mv, you're right, i relistened to it, i think he was thinking of turbans haha

Pahrump, Fresno and Needles now on board!

"The tanks are rolling, sir!"

[SciFiAuthor]

I'm offended by all this likening of Bellgab to an Island as though Gilligan and the Professor might happily emerge at any moment from the jungle. It's much worse than that. I just put the gabcast on and heard George Noory claim to have six testicles. This place is more like that fucking island from Lost. You may escape for a time, but you'll be back.

[serenity]

199, sir.  199.  I think that is a record for us.

Yay for the record but I am not a number I am a free Bellgabber!

....and sucking down a pitcher of Martinis or slurping the Scotch.

I just sent off some emails to the folks at CKNW980 notifying them that MITD is taking on affiliates.

I also noticed they spelled Dave's name wrong on their wikipedia page. Someone should fix that 

I read that as "I just sent off some entrails to the folks at CKNW980..."

Perhaps it is time to back away from the brandy.

Remember I told you I drink beer, paladin. Pft how quickly you forget the important things.

That's not a liaison that I ever contemplated.  Not that there's anything wrong with that. 

[Nick el Ass]

If you stand by your comments than there is no need to get all feisty about. Own it... and move on MV. If Art wants to keep her that is his prerogative. I just shared my thoughts on the whole thing after a sleeping on it.

[Khameleon808]

You can count KCNR1460 in redding, CA in   just got off with the owner named Carl.  He will be in touch!

This is so boss!

Fishy! 

I completely changed my opinion when you revealed your love for a stray feral kitten.  See?  It's that interspecies dolphin love that did it.

I just remembered someone else quit Bellgab over a post I made observing that male koalas have a bifurcated penis.  People are just so damn sensitive about zoology!

[ItsOver]

That's not a liaison that I ever contemplated.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.

If they had had Dave's Paranormal Dating Service they could have met even sooner.  Oh, the travesty.

And now, for a moment of joy: MV has allowed me to post this short video of said adorable moppet, which will just totally erase all the bad stuff from your day:

Purchased a copy of Huckleberry Finn at the half-price book place a while back. To my great chagrin, it was a sanitized version in which the mentioning (over two hundred times) of the word "nigger" was changed to the word "slave."

I promptly ran to the front yard, soaked the book in gasoline, struck a match and sent the book to Valhalla.

If you're going to censor a great literary work, fucking do it correctly. 

AM I RIGHT? OR AM I GODDAMNED RIGHT?

(the sweet sweet irony of censoring censorship was food from the gods)

People should grow the fuck up.

One last point and I will let it be.

I heard this song on the car radio the other day. Would be a crying shame to ever have it censored from/on the airwaves:

See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he's a millionaire

- Money For Nothing, Dire Straits

Says Prisoner #6.  Well played, sir.

[Faustina]

I just listened to the interview, and here my are thoughts:

1) George has got a pair for phoning in and taking questions
2) His info about offering Art a job on C2C was interesting, but I'm glad it didn't happen.
3) I agree with MV and George that some of the comments about him on the forum cross a line, especially those that wish him or his family harm. That stuff needs to be self-policed a lot better, at least.

I agree that the abuse heaped upon Noory in this forum is over the top at times.  I don't think he's really quite as evil as some of you make him out to be.  He is just the guy that happened to be available when Art was getting sick of doing c2c, ended up guest hosting a lot, and then lucked into getting the job permanently when Art left c2c for good.  If you compare him to Art, yes, he's going to suck coz Art is a master of late night talk radio.  Art is a genius at it, whereas Noory is just adequate.  This is no reason to vilify the poor guy.  Some of you make a game of that coz you were bored all those years that Art wasn't on radio (i.e., the GNS thread).   Maybe Noory should be given a break.  There's no longer any point in focusing on him or on c2c, since Art's returning soon.  Hopefully, no behind the scenes machinations will go on by Noory or his bosses to try to bring Art's show down.  Frankly, I don't think they'd be able to.  At most, they'll maybe get away with some guest-stealing, but Art could even probably find ways to keep his guest top secret until nearly the last moment (which would make it difficult for c2c to guest-steal until after the fact).

[MV/Liberace!]

Own it... and move on MV.

move on?  take your own advice.  i'll bet if you were a life coach, you'd probably be about as credible as these guys:

Dave is a never-ending parody of himself.  I fully expect to see "Dave's Paranormal Dating, Reverse Mortgage, and Burial Plot Service" as his next venture.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p56yR19iSqs&feature=youtube_gdata_player

His style of dress, pale pallor, and over-use of hair and mustache black is definitely more in keeping with a "Funeral Parlor and Burial Plot Service." He actually might be successful with that but someone to ask advice about, or to arrange, dates No thanks.

yep, thats one adorable kid. eieio indeed little one.

Yes... and it appears in books written by my favorite author J.R.R. Tolkien with that very meaning, and it is also a British meatball... but that word like many others has been hijacked, and only turned into one of abject hate in the early 1900's. Any other use of the term earlier as tied to the burning of heretics is a pure urban legend, and it says so in the dictionary definition.
