Suspected Terrorist Arrested: 'I Am From ISIS'

Hoaxland says nobody has taken credit, but it's ok because he has an authoritative voice

I've NEVER thought of Hoaxland's voice as "authoritative"

[SciFiAuthor]

Along with a mega dildo?

He IS the mega dildo.

OH.  Are you surprised?

No, not really.

[norland2424]

I'm in a hotel room in Chicago and some drunk lady in the next room was singing Midnight in the Desert at the top of her lungs at the end of Art's show. It was hilarious.

Ok, ok. I'll keep it down.

[zeebo]

This is like a drunk and even dumber version of Jesse Ventura. Ramble on nitwit.

Heading for glass #2

For this one, I'd downgrade to the 12.

What? Paris is named after the Gallic tribe the Parisii. ISIS doesn't even call itself ISIS, it's called DAESH. Richard pulled that shit totally out of his ass.

Actually they don't call themselves Daesh. They absolutely hate that name which is why their enemies (and me) use it.

[Coffeeman]

Holy shit this guy is drunk. He must be on some serious narcotics to even talk that straight.

[TigerLily]

Greetings Sister Tiger

Hola Brother Dear

What do they call themselves? Do they use an acronym or some long winded title?

[Bradsmith313]

Paris wasn't named for Isis.

It was named for the Parisii, Iron Age Celts who settled that region.

[Barfly]

Why do so many superheroes where there underwear over the tights?

[GravitySucks]

If you are staying in the city how do you like those hotel taxes?

Shit. Its costing me more to park the rental car than it did to rent it.

The only thing I can imagine worse is if I was staying with some of my relatives.

[Zzzzillion]

For this one, I'd downgrade to the 12.

Fair point ... maybe even hit the black label.

[norland2424]

Crack heads can't afford Starbucks.

LOL - Yup

It was originally HollywoodLand Richard, but the name gave too much away.

[GravitySucks]

Ok, ok. I'll keep it down.

I hadn't checked out Bellgab until Hoagland's meltdown last week; but before I did I felt inspired to write a letter The Dark Matter Digital Network about the situation. For what it's worth here it is:

Hi. I love that Art Bell is back on the air. I think he's a top notch talk host who displays grace, dignity and intelligence on his show. However, I've tried to give Richard Hogland's show scheduled immediately after a chance and have not found this to be true of Mr. Hogland. He most often comes across as a fussy old school marm, scolding his guests and listeners; cutting in on them when they're speaking to egotistically pontificate and expound upon his own ideas; and often making people wait while he gets hung up on seemingly technical problems that most would quickly move past. Tonight he started the show by scolding people for falling asleep while listening to it and "eating up his bandwidth." Then he referred to these people as "unproductive eaters." That's when I shut it off. I don't think I'll tune back in either. Which is too bad because I really do appreciate science based discussions about fantastic and as yet unexplained phenomena, just not with this host. Please, follow MITD with a show hosted by someone worthy enough to follow Art Bell. I actually haven't found too many other programs worthy of regular listening on the Dark Matter Digital Network other than MITD. So, please keep doing that for a long time to come. Thanks.

Ok, so I lied about not tuning back in. I realize that what I'm doing is akin to slowing down at an accident scene to get a better look but, hey, I'm human too  Anyway, here's the response I got the next day:

So please offer me up someone better to replace it with. I can't find any.
He's still the 2nd highest rated program on the network.

I'm not sure who was responding but make of it what you will.

Paris wasn't named for Isis.

WRONG!  SciGuy beat you to it.  It's name for the garlic eaters. 

Why is that so fucking funny to me, right now?

[Dick Grinder]

I've NEVER thought of Hoaxland's voice as "authoritative"

Not even for a preffffstigious pseudo-scientist?

[TigerLily]

That's pretty unlikely. And funny.

Four it is, my good man. And neat. Come near my 18 with an ice cube and I shall kill you.

[Sandra Kristen]

What do they call themselves? Do they use an acronym or some long winded title?

They only call themselves Islamic State or ad-Dawlah al-Islāmiyah fī 'l-ʿIrāq wa-sh-Shām
