Oh my god Michelle from Japan 

I admit it's a close call, but I'm just barely on the pro-Michelle side of the fence, barely.

[gx2music]

You can tell that Art is absolutely loving these open lines - callers from all over the friggin planet.  Unlike the crap he had to put up with on Sirius.  Can totally understand why he quit that Sirius gig.

We should email Dave, see if he wants to read the news.

Signals from empty space

Physicists from Konstanz University succeed in direct detection of vacuum fluctuations

What are the properties of the vacuum, the absolute nothingness? So far, physicists have assumed that it is impossible to directly access the characteristics of the ground state of empty space. Now, a team of physicists led by Prof. Alfred Leitenstorfer at the University of Konstanz (Germany) has succeeded in doing just that. They demonstrated a first direct observation of the so-called vacuum fluctuations by using short light pulses while employing highly precise optical measurement techniques. The duration of their light pulses was ensured to be shorter than half a cycle of light in the spectral range investigated. According to quantum physics, these oscillations exist even in total darkness, when the intensity of light and radio waves completely disappears. These findings are of fundamental importance for the development of quantum physics and will be published in the prestigious journal Science; an advance online version has appeared on October 1, 2015.

I like Michelle, too.  Most of the regular callers, in fact.

She's fine really but I feel like I am always hearing her and Shannon (sic?) from Manitoba...

He'd demand more mean baby stories.

Open Lines + BellGab Thread = Good Times! An entertaining way to wind down a week.

[TigerLily]

Art needs to find someone who can do a kick-ass impression of Walter Cronkite. That's make a wave. lol.

Or perhaps anyone recently fired by a major news organization. I think the news should sound very 'breaking news old school' 50s kind of a deal. Would be killer.

[RoseGirl]

Hey...what about that guy that always called people 'sir' when he was mad. Oh...the liberal sounding guy, Keith Overman or something

[QuantumMystics]

That kid sounded like this one....

[GuerrillaUnReal]

BellGab was just down for me for like 45 minutes. Anyone else?

[norland2424]

you refreshed too often so ya got kicked

[Morgus]

nope bellgab has been running fine for me all night

[Scorch]

Glad you came in on a lively night, Scorch.   

Thanks, it's a blast!

[popple]

Me too.

[TigerLily]

You drunk chimp, what are you flinging shit about?

I was replying to Bateman about a segment on the GABCAST, nothing to do about the Leo AssCrapped fap. "Probably better for you to stop know and not make a fool out of yourself." Two words, reading comprehension. Drooling moron.

Leobot? Yes, Mv, I went right to the 'bot accusation

[RoseGirl]

oh no...wait...how about the actor from the twilight zone that wished people out to the cornfield? now that would be kewl

lol

[Scorch]

you refreshed too often so ya got kicked

That may be what I'm doing wrong

[Jocko Johnson]

I'd rather hear Gilbert Gottfreid read the news than that brain-dead corksucker John B. Wells.

AFFIRMATIVE!

[Morgus]

Art is noticing "time slips" ?

[Scorch]

Great show Art!  Bravo!

[gx2music]

Wooah!  Damn fine idea TigerLily.   Brian Williams + Art?  Sounds crazy enough that it might well work out..

[starrmtn001]

Great show Art!  Good night Fellow Gabbers and Braapers.

[MV/Liberace!]

That is messed up if he didn't get paid. Art cult worship aside.

if leo didn't get paid, that's leo's fault for not getting the terms ironed out before he started doing the job.  you can't leave these things open ended.  either a job pays or it doesn't, and if leo didn't nail that down right from the start, he's a fool who deserves what he got (nothing).  of course they'd rather not pay someone if it's optional.

[Sandra Kristen]

Amazing show tonight. Now 3 hours of Richard the man who brushed away my guilt trip! See everyone in the Braaps thread.

[Morgus]

oh no...wait...how about the actor from the twilight zone that wished people out to the cornfield? now that would be kewl

lol

Billy Mumy? 

[Catsmile]

Me too.

[GuerrillaUnReal]

I'm pro Michelle from Japan who may or may not have opened a young man's mind to liberal ideas. She's one of the better callers although she usually has about 30 seconds worth of interesting in a five minute phone call.

[ArJuna]

keith's probably an alright guy, but he has no self awareness whatsoever when it comes to communicating through the written word.  he has no perception of his own tone and how it will be perceived by others.

I could accept that maybe on one occasion, but it was clearly mean spirited on another.
