Surprised to learn that. I figured he was MUCH older. I hope his health is ok.
Me too.  I checked the website and recognized him from TV when I saw his photo.  Hearing him, I pegged him at 85+.  Sounded like he'd had a recent stroke that affected his speech.

Dr Macabbee sounded pretty much like he did the first time I heard him back in the mid/late 90s.  The guy just isn't a very dynamic speaker, not uncommon for pure science "lab rat" types.  Always a nail-biter when you have to put one of those guys in front of senior decision makers.  In addition to the monotone ("electric fan") voice, they are the type who, when asked the time, will tell you how to build a watch.

I thought that was a great comment, 'but this interview isn't about me.'  How many 'interviewers' would wax poetic about their own shit? 

Not the Knappster.  He stayed focused and didn't give in to temptation to 'give' instead of 'take.'  A fucking professional, that Knapp.  too bad there aren't more like him.

Yep!   :D  :D  :D  :D  :D

This is an apt description indeed.  His lead-up to the important info was like sitting through a few days of Watergate hearings.

Does anyone know where I can listen to or download George Knapp's March 2013 C2C interview of Robert Bigelow? I checked Youtube and williedees' AB Repository, but no luck. 
If anyone has that show, please PM me.

Oh, BTW, while looking for the Knapp/Bigelow interview, I came across an interview of George Knapp on the Paracast. I don't remember hearing GK being interviewed before, so I found it very interesting.
For those interested, it's here:

I don't think Macabbee is that bad, I've certainly heard far worse.  I remember thinking they nailed it with the scientist character played by Brent Spiner in "Independence Day".

I can't say for sure since I fell asleep somewhere during Colonel A's refutation of Lead Investigator B's mentioning on page 19 of declassified Document X-482 that Program XYZ (formerly known as ABC) had found possible evidence corroborating the alleged description of a craft described by ex-CIA official C during interviews held under the moniker IJK but known by insiders as Blue Book Redux that ......... zzzzzzzzzz    ;)

Thanks Scully, I'd have more info but I'm still waiting on my FOIA request for Document X-482b (the follow-up report).   :D

I can't believe you snaked me into clicking Greasygum's shitty little website. Thanks buddy.
One item of interest which relates to the crypto dude on with The KnappMeister- http://robertebartholomew.com/
I wonder if anyone cares or will call to axe about Tessie, Tahoe's own giant cryptofish.

My most humble apologies. May the totality of your future clickage be as sublime as the melodic offerings of a vibrant Malabar Whistling Thrush.

Thanks to you, I now know more than I ever wanted to about that particular squirrel.  MikiSquirrel.  She even has her own book on Amazon.

You're most welcome!  You may also enjoy reading about Tommy Tucker, the famous cross-dressing squirrel of the 1940s, who helped defeat the Axis Powers by selling war bonds in drag and even risked life and lung on the front lines of the war against tuberculosis.

That's right, we stepped up when it counted.  So maybe throw us a damn peanut once in a while.   :D

Quote
When squirrels get together for a party, they like to have cigars. A squirrel party is successful when the number of cigars is between 40 and 60, inclusive. Unless it is the weekend, in which case there is no upper bound on the number of cigars. Return true if the party with the given values is successful, or false otherwise.

cigarParty(30, false) → false
cigarParty(50, false) → true
cigarParty(70, true) → true
