it was 1997 - Bill CLINTON was President - the economy was booming, as was your humble warrprayer.
George Snorey is a cure for insomnia. Art Bell, however, often made me lose sleep and go into a ten hour shift dragging my butt...
call starts at 00.45
* DISCLAIMER*
I really don't believe this... but it WAS immensely entertaining at 2:30 a.m.

(4,734 posts)"Lifetime of Silence, Behind the Green Door
This is a military patch originating from the 504th flight test squadron, operating out of Groom Dry Lake, and Los Alamos AFB. Most of these projects are classified, and bearers of this patch are prohibited from discussing their occupation, hence, "A Lifetime of Silence". In a 1930's novel and a 1980's pornographic film, they both have green doors that a character cannot gain access to. In addition, the military, and most banks, use green vaults. So, the Green Door could be referencing that there are secrets that the public dosen't have access too. The true meaning of this patch is currently classified, and most likely will not be declassified in our lifetimes.
A lifetime of silence, behind the green door is the motto of the 504th Flight Test Squadron..."

I was half-asleep and not really listening, so the call was halfway over before I woke up and said "WTF are they talking about?" I almost wanted to wake my roommate up and ask him to listen...

(4,734 posts)instead of George Snoory, this guy was on. The guest was a martial arts expert. I expected him to go off on some right wing rant, instead he turned the final segment into a rant about the shitty treatment of the homeless in San Francisco, saying that "the way a country treats those worst off is a good measure of it's sanity."
I sat straight up and turned up the volume!
"Sunday May 11, 2014
Host Richard Syrett welcomed writer, adventurer, martial artist, and street youth counselor, Stefan Verstappen, for a discussion on the dangerous nature of psychopaths. During the first hour, engineer and science writer, William Beaty, talked...
Host: Richard Syrett"
The guest went on about "how can the richest nation on earth allow people to live in tent Hoovervilles - this is truly psychopathic" - Syrett seemed to go into panic mode, "Not all rich are bad"! (translation - "don't offend our corporate masters! You know what happened to Art Bell"! )
