Return of the Curse of the Creature's Ghost
You are viewing UFOShip. The domain name UFOShip.com has been forwarding users to my message board, GeorgeNoorySucks.com, for about 9 months. That's because this website has been inactive. For those who actually care what's going on around here, allow me to explain.

I used to do an internet radio show called Michael Vandeven's Radio Trainwreck. This website was the clearinghouse for all things related to that show. You can listen to it by clicking "Show Archive" in the menu. The last show aired in November of 2006, and it ended because of significant changes in my life, not the least of which were a career change, marriage, moving, and eventually leaving the United States. I am now happily married with my beautiful wife, and life is beginning to calm down as I had been dreaming for almost two and a half years it would. This means I can get back to doing what I enjoy most: sitting in front of a microphone flapping my fat gullet and pretending someone is interested. I'm going to start things back up some time around mid March. If you're reading this, I hope it means you'll be a part of the show.

This website is going to be completely deconstructed and rebuilt. It currently uses a content management system called e107. It sucks, it's antiquated, it looks unprofessional, and it's difficult to maintain. I am going to move all content to a newer, more robust content management system known as WordPress. You've probably heard of it. It will enable me to easily podcast the show for those who can't listen live.

That's it. I hope to hear from you guys again soon.
New Message Board
Watup. We have a new message board. CLICK HERE to see it. You might love the premise of the new board. You might also hate it. All viewpoints are invited to sign up and begin posting until your fingers bleed. Don't let the domain name scare you.

I have had a couple emails from people who are troubled by my decision to start this new message board. Clearly these people have not read the material contained here at UFOShip very carefully at all. I am an ART BELL FAN. Period. I am not a fan of whatever slab of meat they happen to throw in front of the microphone to host Coast to Coast AM as a means of keeping the show on the air. Keeping in touch with the genre, for me, isn't important enough to suffer through that. Cheers.
911 "Truth" Movement
If you are a 911 "truth" movement member, I invite you to view the following 3 videos from The Opie and Anthony Show. Please get a good long look at the company you've been keeping. Way to go. I'd also like to take you on a blast from the past as we dig deep into the UFOShip archives with THIS GEM. Enjoy.



Bathroom Tour 2008

Do you remember Bathroom Tour 2007? Well, it's back in full force as we make our way to this cozy lavatory in Englewood, OH. Peacefully nestled behind the BP gas station just off Interstate 70, this restroom has an independent heating system which will come in handy during those unforgiving Ohio Winters. In a hurry? Don't bother wasting time to ask the clerk for a key attached to the end of a broom handle. That's right, folks. It's unlocked 24/7. Just walk right in! And since it's unisex, you won't have to worry about the strange looks you get when you exit what you thought was the men's room. It obviously caters to an intellectual, philosophically driven clientele who are happy to leave short, pensive expressions of wit for your consideration.



Seating can be very important, and this bathroom delivers where many others are cutting corners. A full, open-front toilet seat provides maximum support with minimal physical contact. This means easy business with fewer germs, and being mildly obsessive-compulsive, this is something I look for in a restroom. However, I must report that I was somewhat unimpressed with the tile floor pattern which consists of a series of black lines running in a vertical pattern joined perpendicularly by a series of equally ubiquitous vertical lines which come together to form something of a repeating "square" shape. This design is seemingly inspired by French Impressionism with subtle overtones of Arte Povera. A bold choice, but it failed to reach me on the emotional level the architect seems to have been endeavoring toward.



Political persuasion is an American pastime, and this restroom has clearly served as an idealogical vessel for the intellectuals of our time. While opinionated and passionate, they have apparently chosen to yield to the greater good of the discussion by leaving room for future commentary using the marker or ink pen of your choosing. I would recommend a felt-tipped permanent marker as opposed to the more prominent ball-point pen as it is more conducive to equal participation in the discussion on this type of surface.


Conclusion: I give this restroom 3 squares out of a possible 5. While intellectually and logistically pleasing, it lacked the emotional impact intended by those who constituted it.

You Can't Do That On Television

It's funny she should do this ON television because this is what I do when I WATCH television.
