"Juicing the piglet"! I have some guesses as to what that means, but none in polite company.

I will be surprised if Ghost Hunters is cancelled anytime soon.

My episode has downloaded. We salute you, we who are about to watch Ghost Hunters.


 

I don't want to get in trouble here so I'll go slightly off topic to explain "juicing the piglet". That phrase depends on context. It can mean many things including, squeezing every last dollar out of someone/something, being lazy, as in "He never puts in any work all he does is "juice the piglet", making mistakes such as "The quarterback juiced the piglet the entire first half of the game". I've also seen it used in business and on discussion boards including the BBC, Amazon Kindle Boards, Techdirt, JREFF and a few others. Anyway, I'm off to work up the courage to watch FoF.

A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.

I don't think so, unless the later K-II models have completely changed the boot sequence. This was nothing like mine. Besides, the K-II breadloaf was using was the newer push on / push off type switch which eliminates that problem. As an extra observation I see that breadloaf's thumb was nowhere near the switch.

It was Paul the ghost. Cool Yet for some reason J&G don't present the K-II hits as evidence.


 

Looking at the video, there are no lights at all on the KII when he gets a no answer, but shouldn't the first 'on light' be at least if its on? The only time any lights are on is when he gets a yes answer, which is fishy to me.


 

I could be wrong since I don't remember a whole lot of the episode now, but could this have been one of the models with the on swich on the side? I have seen a few made that way andy maybe they had something similar rigged up. The whole thing just came off as very fishy to me.

No fish there. The first LED on the K-II is actually a crude battery voltage indicator among other things and it fades as the battery voltage runs low.

Nope, no side switch. It's a push on / push off.

I am very angry I didn't read this before watching that. That was one of the worst episodes I have ever seen of any of these shows, granted I have only seen about 25 episodes, that was just horrible. I agree with pretty much everything already said so no need to repeat but wow what a crud show

In 3……2……1……!!!!
