Daesh, an adapted acronym of their Arabic name - Dawlat al-Islamiyah f'al-Iraq w Belaad al-Sham - is similar to another Arabic word - das - which means 'to trample down' or 'crush', which could therefore be the source of their dislike.

The group hates it so much, in fact, that they have reportedly threatened to cut out the tongues of anyone who uses it in public.

Ah! Makes sense now. So I guess if you use the title itself in ISIS territory, you have to say the whole thing, or simply Islamic state.

[TigerLily]

Anyone, following Art, would have the 2nd highest ratings on this network.

Very true. Should be someone deserving of the Art Bell Bump

[Bradsmith313]

I think it's time for us to do our own torsion field experiments. Let's all collectively imagine RCH off the air.

[trostol]

did Dick just open a bag of chips?

and clears his throat on air..greatness!!!

[norland2424]

wait who "backroomed" him?

[JamesMcDonald]

Did my torsion field manipulation make the show more interesting?

Sandra your torsion field can manipulate me any time.

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.

BOOM!

If you only knew so much more about RCH. Your perspective is only current.

I'd love to know who responded. Prolly Keith.

[paladin1991]

I hope you copied and pasted that, because if you didn't I'm terribly, terribly humbled.

don't beel bad.  Taht's the SciGuy.  He's smart.

[trostol]

and he's a journalist? lol

[zeebo]

It's like a macabre Uber.

[Stephen]

Very true. Should be someone deserving of the Art Bell Bump

one would think so... this time spot just gets goofier and goofier... 5 more minutes for me...

[norland2424]

and he's a journalist? lol

hes a fucking pervert if you ask me slendie 

[Sandra Kristen]

Sandra your torsion field can manipulate me any time.

[zeebo]

+1 .. we need our Maud'dib to follow.  Instead we got Marvin the Martian.

[GravitySucks]

BOOM!

If you only knew so much more about RCH. Your perspective is only current.

I'd love to know who responded. Prolly Keith.

At least he got a response. I sent Keith an email explaining why I was cancelling. Never really expected a response though.

[Barfly]

Barfly you logged into the wrong account!

Tie me up and lets have sex

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

Now he's talking about banging cocks.  What is it with this guy?

[Alienigma]

I recall an episode of MITD (I think) where the question was asked "Is it possible to move slower than full stop".

I think I've found the answer.

[(Sandman) Logan-5]

JMV went downhill

Holio Keeee riist !
Looks like he's made one too many trips down Damnation Alley 

[JamesMcDonald]

This guy is expecting professional security at a hotel in Thailand? Give me a break.

[norland2424]

Tie me up and lets have sex

[Sandra Kristen]

THIS IS WORSE THAN TROSTOL'S THEME!

[Barfly]

Fuck i hate that outro

[paladin1991]

Tie me up and lets have sex

Well alright.  But no more crying.  It doesn't hurt that much.

[Auslandia]

That has to be one of the worst fucking songs ever recorded

[(Sandman) Logan-5]

Is it just me or does it sound like aliens keep trying to break into the feed tonight? (During Art too)

Time to fire up the packet sniffer and see if those are being injected into the stream or just something at the network.

[SciFiAuthor]

Well that was an ... odd way to sing that.
