Topic: George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[fysisist]

Here's the clusterfuck that relieved us of Simple George tonight: http://alchemyevent.com/index.html

Noory, Louis Turi and Sean David Morton ! Awesome !

(You would think the promoters of these sort of conferences would be able to find someone who could design a decent website.)

The sad think about this and other similar events is that there are people who are paying money that many of them probably can't really afford for this complete and utter rip-off and waste of time and energy.  Clusterfuck is probably too generous a term.

[fysisist]

Looks like George has some astroturf on the dome. Also what's with the scar by his sideburn?

I'm thinkin' that's where they pulled the saggy skin back.

[Gassy Man]

Her eyes had major work as well as her nose and lips. It's not just better makeup.

What's the major work?  Her eyes are the same shape as before and with the same "fold
 and slight "bags" underneath.  Her chin is exactly the same.  Her nose seems slightly slimmer, but the lighting and angles of the photo are different, so that could be the result of the photo, and she's eight years younger in the previous image, with a little more youthful "baby fat" to her face.  She has a completely different makeup scheme in those two photos and appears to be using more concealer in the second photo than in the first one.  Women can change their appearance drastically with just a different color application, and women who go before the camera frequently slather their faces with makeup.  One of the tricks to making someone look older, for instance, is to use a little color just above the jaw line, which then makes the face look like it's more puffy and "jowly" than it is.  To make the nose look slimmer, apply a little color to the sides.  Among my past life's duties was photography, though nothing major or glamorous, and with a camera, one can apply "plastic surgery" without a scalpel.  It's why porn stars and strippers look good on camera but are generally only slightly above average, if that, in real life.  (No I did not photograph porn stars, but I have known more than a few strippers.)

Noory is taking another Friday night off tonight (3 Fridays of in a row, a new record)
so we get another 3-day Noory-Free weekend, but we get two nights in a row of John B. Wells though.

[Paper*Boy]

At $2850 DrDarryl is leading the pack to dine with Noory and get some cookware.  Lady Die seems to have topped out at a mere $1350.  Only 9 hours left to bid.
 

Not only will the winner be charged shipping and handling on a cook set they may or may not even want, it looks like they are going to be charged sales tax on the whole thing. 
 

"charitybuzz® Inc. is registered in the state of New York and California. New York or California sales tax will be charged on your winnings in addition to the final bid amount and shipping cost..."
 

In Calif, isn't sales tax only assessed on personal property purchases, and specifically not services - i.e., applicable to the dishes and dinner (the restaurant will also add sales tax to the bill), but not to George's presence?
 
Dr Darryl may want to bring some extra cash if he wants something to drink or some dessert.  Probably should be prepared to leave the tip too.

Yes, 3 Friday nights in a row off, plus the Mexico wedding time off in January.  He won't be able to say he only takes 1 week vacation this year if he takes his traditional last week in December off.

Anyone ever notice that when Noory takes calls, he sometimes changes the caller's name?  Example..  'We have James from Cleveland - how's it going Jimmie?'  IMO, that's poor manners.

Yeah, that bugs me quite a bit.  Most people seem rather particular about when and what diminutives are used for their name.  His wanton use of nicknames for people he's never even seen or talked to is actually downright insulting.  Just another example of how Georgie doesn't have a clue.

And another example of George not being a 'nice guy'.
 
Even Tom Danheiser becomes 'Tommy'.  Working for George Noory must be awful.  Even if the program didn't suck.

yeah Noory has done that since day one.
its probably just one of his own things that he thinks makes him special to callers.

Her nose is different. Her whole face is different. Diet? Probably. But surgery too

[Sardondi]

Her nose is different. Her whole face is different. Diet? Probably. But surgery too

Absolutely agree - the more slender face could be due to diet, but there's no question the nose has been "petite-ified". Lips are thinner (which flies in the face of the recent  popularity of the Angelina Jolie pufferfish look); cheeks, maybe; and something about the nasolabial folds seem tighter and less pronounced, although some of that could be lighting and/or make-up.

Guys, no offense, but other than the nose and the actual makeup, not much is different. Her lips seem more slender because her mouth is spread wider in the second shot to show her teeth, and bright red lipstick tends to make the mouth look more pronounced. Spreading the mouth also causes the skin to stretch tighter around the cheeks. Actors in particular know this to give themselves a "face lift" when before the camera and talking. She has lost some of the baby fat and that could well be the result of diet and exercise. I'm not saying she didn't have some sort of plastic surgery necessarily -- as before, the nose does look thinner -- but certainly not in the retrofit manner that was suggested.

The central thesis of most Noory shows seems to be everything is bad and should be feared accordingly.  Ridiculous

[HorrorReporter]

I Just can say this about who looks better

[HorrorReporter]

The central thesis of most Noory shows seems to be everything is bad and should be feared accordingly.  Ridiculous

But if Art did this he'd handle it much better.. Noory is just stumbling into unknown territory--he doesn't know much-- and the show just keeps sliding into oblivion..

[Oversoul]

Keep in mind if Noory ever got canned they'd move John B Wells into his slot.

Hmmmm.  That might be a case of C2C jumping from the frying pan to the fire.   

[Oversoul]

that doesn't look like a scar, it looks like some rubber glue for the toupe?

Looks more like a FULL WIG to cover his thinning white or shining top, than a toupe for partial baldness.   

[Oversoul]

I think it's glue too

Looks more like Noory's actual white hairs sticking out of the dark-haired full wig.   

If it were indeed glue for the hairpiece, then Noory has overdone his wig attachment.  He's might be afraid of it falling off his head.   

[preston]

Maybe John Leer removed an implant.

[Oversoul]

Maybe John Leer removed an implant.

My guess is: That implant might have been the one that made him function intelligently and normally as a human being.  Without it, he's become the moron that he is now.               

[HorrorReporter]

A theory.. Plastic surgery make you into someone else, right? Someone you want to be? Someone you desire to look like and potentially inhabit in some way. Just like that lady who wants to look like a cat.

So .. here is my theory in photos.

We have this:


We HAD this:


And after some cosmetic work we got his photoshopped logo photo:


Not to dwell on this whole issue of George's identity crisis, but I think he is trying to look like Art Bell. really. And paying money to do it.

[HorrorReporter]

perhaps this look is next

[MV]

perhaps this look is next

hahahaaha... my wife is looking at me strangely as i stare at that picture and laugh.

[Morgus]

Looking today at the c2c website tweets page: http://www.coasttocoastam.com/pages/twitter

Noory left this tweet message a couple nights ago, about the shortened first hour guest a few nights back:

GN: Sorry we had to cut Kerry Cassidy's interview short. The speaker phone she was on was just too bad to continue. She provided great info. 6:21 PM Apr 27th

Noory always makes these phony excuses for cutting a guest off early. He could have just had the guest call on another phone or something if there really was a problem.
But I didn't hear any sound problem with the guest for that half-hour at all. 

[Frys Girl]

I just googled propecia before and after pictures. I doubt that is what George did, take propecia. I concur with the toupee analysis. I bet Alex Jones told him where to get it. As to the wig glue, unless he used friggin elmer's, that shouldn't be what that is. George is clearly getting plastic surgery and he may have gone to Tijuana to get his last face stretching procedure.

[McPhallus]

Propecia is mainly used to prevent further loss rather than regrow.  George has likely had a rug fitted or a hair transplant, which would explain why it's combed in such a way to cover up his hairline (which might look a bit wonky after having either).

[b_dubb]

Did I hear Noory welcome a new host last week?

[Paper*Boy]

Did the Ancien Aliens folks dump George, or did they finally realize after looking through the rest of his clips that he doesn't ever really add anythng to their show?
 
The most recent 2 episodes - 'The Da Vinci Conspiracy' and 'The Time Travelers' - were Noory free, unless I dozed off just as he came on and woke up right after he finished (which is quite possible).  And the episode before that - 'Aliens and Bigfoot' - not sure if he made an appearance on that one either.
 
They visit some interesting ancient ruins and show footage of petroglyphs, etc, but the show trying to compose a theory involving Bigfoot, Da Vinci, Nazi's, time traveling aliens - they're just about out of ideas.

They totally ARE out of ideas and now its just getting crazy... I remember thinking after the last season that they are starting to run thin on material.  You'd think they would have Noory on more often now.  I'm sooo sick of the "UFO bigfoot" connection thing too... good for a laugh but is seriously reserved for the true blue shadow people seeing crackpots.
