Second man on the moon and erstwhile _Simson’s_ guest star Edwin Aldrin has been [accused of striking](http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/space/09/10/aldrin.skeptic.reut/index.html) moon landing hoax promoter/filmmaker Bart Sibrel.
All can say is fuckin’ A Buzz, kick his ass.

\*“I approached him and asked him again to swear on a Bible that he went to the moon, and told him he was a thief for taking money to give an interview for something he didn’t do,” Sibrel told Reuters on Tuesday. \*
Can’t imagine why Aldrin would’ve wanted to punch this putz…really…

Highlites(or low-lites) from the story:

Great style, _limp-dick_. Papparazi anyone.
> [@](#):

> The encounter with Aldrin was Sibrel’s third since he said he discovered footage in NASA’s archives…
NASA let this guy in to their archive? Ha!

> He also produced a Fox TV show last year entitled “Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?”
Any further proof needed that this guy is a jerk? FOX? Give me a break!

Hey, maybe this guy can see if Cecil is really real, or just a figment of our collective imagination

I still chuckle at memories of a _Frasier_ episode:
Martin: [having told credulous visitor that he’s a retired astronaut] And you know Buzz Aldrin? I gave him his nickname. People thought it was because he flew fast, but nah. It’s 'cause he was afraid of bees.

Just so you know, Mr. Sibrel will be interviewed (on tape) on TechTV on Friday, September 13 on the show “Tech Live” which airs at 8:30 p.m. Eastern. After his tape airs, they will air a tape of me saying over and over again how grossly wrong his claims are. 😉

Tech TV is a satalite station. I’m not sure if it’s on cable but if you have direct TV, and live in…Latrobe PA it’s channel 354, lol.

Rock on, Buzz. Rock very on.
All he did was hit him? Shove a lunar module up his ass, I say.

Anyone know if that punch clip is online anywhere? I tried all the usual places I know to look with no luck.

Mr. Sirbel is probably still smarting from the utter destruction he took from our own Bad Astronomer in a radio debate.
The Bad Astronomer is apparently also going to be interviewed by TechTV. At least, it says so on [badastronomy.com](http://badastronomy.com).
Go get that jerk B.A.!

Nobody picks on a personal friend of Homer Simpson and gets away with it!

The TechTV show is on in a few minutes, but I don’t get TechTV! D’oh! Oh well.

I said it in another thread, and I’ll say it here:
Opinions expressed by Bart Sibrel do not necessarily reflect those of the rest of Nashville, TN.

Turns out the TechTV show is Monday, not Friday. Just so’s y’all know.

LOL! You’ve got to wonder if _The Simpsons_ will do a spoof on this or not. One of the producers/writers is a big time space nut (he’s got the door to a Soviet space capsule hanging in his kitchen) and it was him who came up with the idea for the show that featured Buzz. I hope they zing the hell out of the guy, personally.
Additionally, I’m pretty sure that I can find el Whacko pretty easily, as I think I know someone who is friends with him. It’s so tempting to go find this guy and shove a Buzz Lightyear doll up his ass.
