Art Bell Quits Dark Matter

[Jnthn932]

Basiago rules!  He's one of my fave guests regardless of what his reality is.  From the Civil War to Mars is pretty epic man!

When I heard him for the first time is was deep in the Louisiana bayou camping so I wasn't really paying attention. I'll give him a shot. Hell at this point any guest with Art is better than what we have now!

These Art hating trolls are so easy to ID. I mean they don't even know the most basic things about the Dark Matter show. They think it started in August? And the list goes on. My question again. Why are they even here?

My bad.  I didn't double-check my calendar!

Here you go, let me illustrate my correctness of thought--I hope I cause no trouble with Ministry of Opinion!

Gross me out.  You'll have to look elsewhere I'm afraid. 

[Xtreme1]

Phil Hendries conversation with Art Bell and General Jameson starts around an hour into the show so sometime close to 0200 pacific. You will laugh your ass off. Art talks about his fans and, well, it is CLASSIC PHIL!

[Eddie Coyle]

       I wasn't checking dumpsters, so you're safe.

Funnyest thing I've read all day.

[shell88]

   
           To fuck with you. You newbie shitball.

Another vampire negative energy sucker. I guess you sleep well at night getting to release all that gross hostility you carry around.  You must be proud of yourself. Ya  :

[shell88]

       I wasn't checking dumpsters, so you're safe.

kinda hard for a dumpster to check a dumpster dont ya think?

[dortmunder]

Still gotta love the passion here. Even though you all scare the shit out of me and should probably be tossed into a snake pit. Buncha fucking psychos!

        You're such a dumb fuck. What type of vampire sleeps at night? It's 3:10 am and I'm screwing with you, shithead. Figure it out.

         Loud and proud. And awesome.

[Eddie Coyle]

      That's a name for a bitch like you. "Dumpster"

     "Come, Dumpster!!!!"

Oh my gosh, you're the one who had me scared last night that my two 15-year old cats were going to turn on me with their fangs while I was asleep and gouge my eyes out!  I never once even thought of such a thing before I read what you wrote.  (Actually, it had always been my Chihuahua I was secretly sort of scared of.)     

I'm not really good with apologies, midnight, but I'll man up and say it: I'm sorry. It, too, was a joke.

Anyway, midnight, if you're still afraid your cats might do this there are things you can do to pacify them. They are fickle beasts, for sure, but there is an end to their abyss. Trust me. I live with 11 of them.

Here is a ritual which might help you:

On a full Moon night, turn of all the lights in your house and have your cat at the ready. Take the cat you're worried about and drape an orange robe over him or her. You can buy these at Walmart at the fabric center, but make up a good story as to why you're doing it. When I went in there and bought a bunch of fabric the nice lady asked me what I was getting it all cut for. I couldn't tell her the truth, so I said it was for my niece's school project. "What sort of project does she have?" She asked, peacefully cutting a large swathe of black fabric.

I didn't know what to say, so I made up a half-truth: "She's using these robes to wear during rituals to summon the demonic intelligences contained within the stars."

That was the end of our conversation.

Anyway, midnight, drape an orange robe over the cat and anoint its head with olive oil. Make sure its extra-virgin olive oil, too --- not that shitty Wal-mart stuff.

While the cat is looking into your face with vacant, uncomprehending eyes, say these words:

BHAKHAGHALA HAGHAKHA GLA NKGAGKHA BARAKUSHAMAMA!

Then take the cat, still in its robe, and set it before the scrying mirror. If all went well, the cat will slowly get out of the robe and begin to gaze into the scrying mirror. At this point, the cat will purr and stand on all four legs like its ready to pounce on a rodent of some kind. At this point, an unholy, pale blue light will begin to fill the room, but do not fear: your cat will never gnaw or nibble on you as you sleep ever again.

Me worked here until they moved it on the channel lineup. If I want to watch an old program bad enough I just go out and buy the DVD set.

I now have :

Highway Patrol
Streets of San Francisco
Ironside
Perry Mason
Banacek
The A Team and a lot more. I'm big into retro tv.

After hearing (?) you guys talking (?) about Me-TV, I went and checked my channel lineup, and..... I GET IT!!!  Very, very pleased.  I love a lot of those old shows.  I see they air Rawhide and Rockford Files, too:  two of my faves.

[shell88]

      That's a name for a bitch like you. "Dumpster"

     "Come, Dumpster!!!!"

8)Truth hurts dont it.  You do excell at being ugly though.  Maybe enter some contests. And that's all you get tonight troll.  I've fed you well. Don't regurgitate too much. Your tummy will get sore.

[Ravenna]

I really get a huge kick out of Basiago.  Last time when Snoory had him on, in August, and he was talking about Mars, and how he'd been up there with Obama, back in the day,... just like he was talking about a conference in Chicago they attended together:  my mind nearly exploded.  He says the most outrageous shit in such an intelligent, reasonable tone that it's very hard not to believe him.

Still.  I will NOT vote for him for President in 2016.

       But you can't quit responding. You're as hooked on me as you are Art. Too fuckin' funny.

Trolls are the worst.  But Newbie Trolls?  The worst things EVER.  Shouldn't be allowed.  If I was MV, they'd be deleted faster than you could say "from the high desert, and the great south-west."

gotta admit I chuckled at that one as well

I agree Ravenna. I'm not sure why MV lets it go on to the extent he does. Lots of people just leave the thread because of it. I guess that's the best thing to do. Leave them all in their own company and let them feed off each other.

Okay, I'm a little confused,

I.   you said I should buy the orange fabric at Walmart, but you said the Walmart lady was cutting black fabric for you?  Did I miss something?

II.  i do know that Walmart does carry some fairly good extra-virgin olive oil.  Should I still 
not buy it there?

III. Have you ever read James Thurber, and have you ever seen his pet illustrations?  Do you do your own art work?

IV. Since I don't think it's a full moon tonight?  and also I'm so sleepy I have to go to bed now, I guess I'll have to wait till tomorrow for the answers to these questions.  The cats are sleeping peacefully now, so it looks like I'll be safe for tonight.........bye!

uch oh

      You're a newbie troll. Not even here 3 months and causing such trouble. With an esteemed member, no less!

[Catsmile]

       The crossed out words shall be replaced with "Nighthawk". I hate you.

I think hes just confusing being a fan with being a sycophant.
I'll hug Arts nuts, but he's got to hug mine as well.
Don't punch me in the nuts and expect me to say "Yes master more!".
It would seem some folks are more that eager for such treatment from Art.
More power to them.

They just need to understand that other people don't feel the same way.
And if someone doesn't agree with your opinion on a forum, a troll it does not make.

My minds eye sees them leaning to this end of the spectrum, but I could be wrong.

         Excellent! Spot on. Kindergarteners within range of Shell88 should be worried.

[tertiaryimam]

Here's what I'm doing for the cause:

"Hi Sal.

I'd just like to take the time to say that I'm 100% in agreement that Art Bell pulled some shit with his latest stunt, but its really best for everyone if he's allowed to broadcast both on Sirius and on his own website. By all means quit paying him. But don't quit getting paid! You can sell mega ads and not only will subscribers hear them, but people all around the world will also. Even people in such far-a-flung territories like Jazmunda Australia. Think about it.

Anyway, whatever your decision I remain a loyal fan of Sirius radio and all the good work you do. Kudos!"

"Howdy Scott,

You the man, buddy!

Haha, now that that's out of the way, let me start by saying I'm 100% behind Sirius in whatever decision they make, but I really think Art Bell should be cut a little slack. He's old as some sea turtles and was bitten by a tarantula right on his ass one night, and this was the night he had to interview Al Bielak who also happens to be dead. If you were in his shoes, he'd probably tell you to get out of his shoes --- but, more than that, I think you can understand that when you're old, spider-bitten and high off painkillers, you end up doing some off the wall shit. And, to top it all off, art's a man of pride and character and he doesn't really want to blame it on the drugs and spiders. He's no Kanye West! But, anyway, you know as well as I do that you'll make more money if you let him back on. Its a new world, Scott, and I think a fresh start would be to let Art do what he wants to do.

Anyway, you the man! Whatever you decide I'll still be a loyal Sirius subscriber. And thanks for getting rid of Noory! "

Shell88 MV lets it go on because most of us are adults and can deal.
