The Other Side of Midnight - Richard C. Hoagland - Live Chat Thread

[expat]

Ostrich Thief is always asking for ideas for questions. Here's one:

As part of your statistical analysis of the orbit of Comet Elenin, you stated that the odds of a comet having a given inclination are 1 in 360 divided by the inclination. If this is true, what are the odds of an inclination of zero? What about an inclination of 360? By your idea, the odds of that should be 1 in 1, that's a certainty. Is there something wrong with your idea Richard?

Richard needs to lay off the Old Milwaukee before the show, he's slurring.

Was he still hitting the cough button last night.  It seems Robin's potion hasn't cured his hack.

Maybe he's Hillary-I-V positive?

Too much sucking face with Hillary?

I was 100% ready for the show then...BOOM...power goes out about a half hour before start time.  There was no storm so I figured it would come back on momentarily.  It did only to go right back off a minute later.     It was still out at the mid way point of the show so I just commited myslef to sleep.    Bummer. 

to be fair..pretty sure you didn't miss much..not that Dave was awful ..just..Dick was being Dick

[zeebo]

You're welcome...thanks to all for following my progress. I've always enjoyed this forum when I get a chance to stop by. Snarkiness and I get along pretty well. Until next time...

Haha you're a good sport Dave, glad you dropped by.  Fun show last nite.  Good luck with the project.

Oh Memory Lane!  That should be awesome.  I hope he works out some tangential connection to play the old Tonight Show theme; can't see all those names without thinking of it.

Someone asked me to find out so I asked who would be on at the end of the show last night.   He has someone big in the books for next week.  I hope it's Gary Johnson or Trump

Never get your hopes up when it comes to Hoagie.

I dig the nostalgic shows.     The Dick Bertel interview is still one of my favorites.

No.

No.

Then what the heck is with this quote from the show's bio?  " The world changed on August 25th, 2016."  How so? Perhaps a new discovery? A push in the right direction?  Essentially, did anybody learn anything new? 

[OstrichThief]

The larger version worked 100 times better as planned

[albrecht]

Someone has dumped all the August shows on to the interweb torrent sites. Not me, likely Julian Assange or Snowden. But any particular shows that are memorable that someone should check out?

Hopefully via a call in contest on the local radio station's morning zoo show. Kidding. Good luck. I got Slayer/Anthrax next month.

[ShayP]

[ShayP]

There are still general admission seats, etc.  40 bucks.  The price you mentioned is for the floor and the lower levels.     My buddy is working on it.  I'm broke but trying to make a deal.  You know how this shit goes mang!    Actually I could buy a gm ticket but these guys have different ones.  I'm not hanging by myself.  LOL!

Thanks.    If I could get to Pittsburgh I could see Slayer on the 15th.  My friends up there go to shows all the time and invite me.  Best part is I rarely have to pay for the ticket.  Nonetheless, It's just too much trouble (and $$$) to make the 380 mile drive. 

[trostol]

all i hear concert wise atm is Bruce and Stevie Nicks

[ShayP]

World Cup pre-tournament games?
