fuck open lines

FUCK OPEN LINES ON FRIDAY (or any other day)
Friday is replete with good things for lots of ppl, how come fuck it up with EXTRA douchebaggery?? Makes me think of that old phrase referring to a lemon or faulty manufactured item, "Musta been built on a Friday..." referring to dingbat's ease into his gooberlicious weekend

I haven't been able to tolerate open lines even back when I didn't dislike Noory as much (yes I admit to thinking he was okay for awhile in the very beginning). He simply never was able to make open lines entertaining, especially with the call-filtering practice that he instituted.
And well as it has been said many times, the callers keep getting dumber as time goes on.

The WORST shit is when he pulls a prank on a caller pretending to be another caller whose line got crossed with theirs. UGHHHHHHHHHH! ! !

So yeah, fuck open lines.

One (hyphenated) word for Snoory's broadcast delivery/persona: CANDY-ASS

thank you  :)

I would compare listening to  the Friday Night lunacy with poking out an eye with some kind of kitchen implement.

open lines MAKE ME WANT TO do this to myself.  i would start by trying a pizza cutter.  if that didn't work, i'll move to rolling pin.  if that also failed, then i might try the less painful method of opting for a spoon, but frankly, open lines with noory make me want to opt for less efficiency and greater pain in the ol' eye removal department.

   Snooron makes a terrible open lines host.  These are among his most painful shows to listen to.

Hi, Curtis. I I ran out of eyes and knives. Now, I just spoon peanut butter into my ears. It's the only way to listen on Friday nights.

Hi SN,  not a bad idea at all. ( not that I listen) but if I did  I'll definitely  try the peanut butter method.
It might be just crazy enough to work.

with one exception, the days back when Art had open-lines was entertaining and partially due to the fact he
didn't screen callers. And if the call was fail, he could push it into something great on many occasions

This thread cracks me up.  It's different strokes for different folks, I guess.

I absolutely LOVE open lines.  I like when the crazies get through.  Most of my favorite moments from the show are from open lines.

I want to be one of the few that loves open lines too.
No matter who is hosting.
The callers are the listeners and i think i could really get along with
all the people who call in on open line day in real life.
But i still agree with most of you Art Bell knew how to rock open lines !!!!!!!!!

I love REAL open lines, not the same four plants every week asking Noory questions he can get on his half-assed soapbox about.

   Or the folks that just have to call up and let the whole country know about their latest UFO experience.

Sounds like open lines has been ditched this evening for a guy who works for AOL and does "weird news". Another easy night for George. Maybe he doesn't want to deal with cranks tonight.

Well then. A guy who works for AOL. That certainly is modern and relevant.

what if a concentrated effort was made on our part to call in during open lines and steer the show back towards the unusual subject matter that once helped make this show great. this will require telling lies to call screeners and making outlandish paranormal connections to any and all subjects or guests whenever possible, even if we don't believe these connections exist.

i like open lines. george may frequently mishandle them, but did the people against open lines all really hate open lines this much when art was on the air?

I'm still interested in the show every now or then but, last night, i switched off to listen to/fall asleep to music instead. To me it seems they're trying to squeeze as many commercial breaks in as they can. The beginning of the September 10th show just felt like they're slowly trying to move the format of the show away from the paranormal. Which would be an explanation why the show's becoming boring.

Since I became a Snoorologist, I like Open Lines.  There's where there might...just MIGHT...be something unscripted happen.  A caller could bluff all the screeners and say something right off the goddamn wall.  By Friday, the Snooring is extremely loud and old Noory is phoning it in with exclamations like his charmer from the other night:

3/24/11 John Rappaport.

GN:  Something's wrong with people these days.  People can't just talk any more; they get angry.  People have lost the ability to speak.  I think this country is compromised.  Do you think there's something wrong with people, John?

(Silence)

George--there's something wrong with YOU, for sure.  YOU have lost the ability to put together a complex sentence in any meaningful way on the air.  We're out here wondering if you need neurological tests--a stroke?  Do you have a loved one at home who can care for you?  Man up, George, it's time to think of the future realistically before you reach the PeeWee Herman level.

Why do they even do open lines every Friday anymore?
It's a leftover quirk from when Art Bell hosted the show. It suited Art well because he was excellent at that sort of program. George is horrible at it. In fact, I'll go so far to say it is the thing he worst at. Why do they keep doing it if it is the weakest part of George's hosting abilities?

Either give the Friday shows to someone else or just don't do open lines anymore if George is going to host that day.

                                                                                     That's an astute observation. There seems to be more commercials now. The breaks might be two or three minutes longer too. They also take more breaks.

These are among the most excruciatingly painful moments in radio history, I'm quite certain.  And you know that Jackass George is sitting there in his studio with a stupid smug grin on his face, maybe winking at the board op, thinking how effing clever he is.  Fuck me.

They also cut the bumper music time down to 15 seconds, if that.  Gotta save time for more ageless males buying gold ads.
