During the intro of every show I wait and wonder " Will Robert be sure to mention that this particular episode is 'intriguing'"?

Intriguing - he says it 90% of the time.

I think he must have had both written on his headstone!!!


Here disturbingly lies Robert Stack
His death was intriguing.

It seems like he used inexplicable in about 90% of the cases too.

I gotta go with, "Incredibly..." Listen for this word. He says it at least once a segment.

My favorite Robert Stack line, without a doubt, is:

"Perhaps someone from _____________'s (insert name here) past decided to make a violent reappearance." What exactly is a "violent reappearance"? Whatever it is, it was something he often used on missing person cases.

My second favorite was when they were talking about the kid who disappeared after going to the county carnival. Robert Stack said, "Perhaps he succombed to the lure of the carnival." That one about put me on the floor. Maybe it's just me, but what in the hell is so "alluring" about a carnival? The low wages? The lack of teeth? Poor sanitation? Horrible smells? Never knowing where you are going to be the next day?

I always liked when he called something a "cruel hoax"

"Intriguing" and "Perhaps" are my votes for his favorite. Great thread, by the way. :lol:

My fav. two words used on UM, even though they might not have been the most frequent (I know Stack must've enjoyed saying these deep down somewhere:

1. poopooed
2. de-goo

:lol:

That has got to be my favorite line! It always creeped me out when I was younger!

"perplexing"...

I'm convinced he snuck in that line at least once, perhaps backwards or with a few words in between.

That's what I hear his voice saying when I think about Unsolved.

And the tagline. Which is why it's mine.

Where did he say "de-goo"? I think I've heard "pooh-pooh" at least once.

He said "cheesy" once or twice.

Also, has anyone else noticed he says the name "Michelle" weird? He always says, "Mee-shell" instead of "mi-shell" like normal people.

We love 'ya Bob. And we miss you! :(

Bob said "galavanting" today in regards to the Christopher Chichester case. Awesome. That's totally a word my mom would use.

I also liked it when he said "de-goo."

In the recent story about the guy who died while sleepwalking RS actually said "phantasmagoric". :lol:

He says "intriguing" and "perplexed" a lot. :lol:

I noticed that on alot of the Lost Loves and even the Amelia Earheart segments he says the word poignant.

I agree.

If only he'd say "Perhaps you could join me for another intriguing episode of UM". Then we'd all be happy.

I noticed he liked to say "cloaked" alot, that something was "cloaked in mystery". And of course my favorite "swept up in a vortex..."

I don't know about Stack's favorite word, but mine was when he would unexpectedly say, "UPDATE!" at the end of a segment.

I think we have a winner. I can hear Robert Stack saying this in my mind.
