Ok, I'm setting up for the first call now.. Very Happy

EDIT: I called him, and I'm not sure if it went through.
And I found nice airport background sound, too. Confused

I tried again, and it was busy.

You might want to have one of the characters email to say Stephen tried to call, and his phone was busy. He can't call back until tonight, because he can't use the cellphone in the airplane. Smile

Thanks Slap Smile

I like the airport noise too Wink

I'll send him a quick e-mail from Dr. Colbert's Blackberry before they close the airplane doors Wink

Thanks for the letter Wright. After we deal with Captain Mal's sudden illness, the letter will come into play.

I'll try to give him another quick call between 3:30 and 5:00 EasternDST, when Stephen and Mal are on their way to the connecting flight. Wink

Update! Phonecall made from Stephen C. to Emmanuel. I think he'll go! Very Happy

I had the "airport noises" pretty loud, but my microphone noise cancelling must have cut them out. I'll have to play with that some more. Smile

The plane is going to be almost an hour early, arriving at 4:13AM Lagos Time. Not much sleep for the lad tonight! Laughing

edit: forgot the linky!

Yay!

Great job Slaphappy, thank you. Smile

Has your lad sent any anguished emails yet? Smile

Frumpy has agreed to be the "voice of a suffering Mal in the hospital" when I call him later. He'll not talk to the lads, just moan and yell stuff in the background from his hospital bed. Ok with you guys? Smile

Posted: Sun Jun 21, 2009 12:11 pm

Should be OK - just remember that Mal has a "Sutherner" accent and he should be cursing the gorram Saddamites and Mahdis who did the damage and for the love of Pete, he needs painkillers!

Posted: Sun Jun 21, 2009 12:47 pm

No, nothing from the lads yet.

A little odd considering that the plane was supposed to land in Lagos 7 hours ago.

Posted: Sun Jun 21, 2009 1:01 pm

Yeah, I can try, of course Smile

yelling should work. I´ll be online during and after the Sunday show anyway so just tell me when it´s about to start, SH.

Trophy Videos · Posted: Sun Jun 21, 2009 1:05 pm

Well, it's Sunday, and he's probably in church... Smile

I'm sure he'll get back to you. He's obsessive.

Posted: Sun Jun 21, 2009 2:21 pm

We have voicemail!

hahaha!

Funny, he didn't even seem too pissed off. I'll hold off on calling him for the day, Worf. I have some company coming over soon. If you need a call later to setup his REAL safari, let me know. I wanna hear him say, "I'm streded." Smile

Posted: Sun Jun 21, 2009 10:15 pm

Yeah, if you could call him later and explain the Captain Mal sick in London situation, that would be great. Also mention to him that you'll try to e-mail him later, so then I can bring in Wright's e-mail about De Mentia.

Trophy Videos · Posted: Sun Jun 21, 2009 11:58 pm

ok, worf. i'll call tomorrow.

Trophy Videos · Posted: Mon Jun 22, 2009 11:48 am

Update!

Frumpy and I called the lad. Why is he so understanding? Ok, Worf and Company. Go shake him up some more. Confused

Five stars! Having Mal groaning in the background was a stroke of genius. This lad seems to be taking it in his stride, though!

Now, time for phase two Smile

Quote:

Dear Emmanuel,

I finally left Captain Mal at the hospital and have checked in to a hotel in London, the Radisson Edwardian Hampshire hotel.

Captain Mal is still in intesive care. I doubt he will be able to fly with me anytime soon.

Too make matters worse, I just logged in and saw this e-mail from Mr. de Mentia. Apparently he is now going to sue us!

Sincerely,
Stephen

Dear Colbert:

It has been brought to our attention that your business partner Mr. Onyema Emmanuel, has been making defamatory public statements to the effect that my client C NIALL DE MENTIA has been plagiarizing content from the production RANKL3 JON3S, as delineated in the provisions for termination hereinafter appearing.

In our legal opinion, this is both a civil and criminal libel of our client which you have condoned and done nothing to avert. It is possible that you were unaware of this conflict, so we believe that it is in our mutual interest to bring this matter to your attention and apportion responsibility and remedies as pertaining to the libeller and libellee.

As well as being a distinguished writer, C Niall de Mentia is a registered trademark (U.S. Reg. No. 1123657419) of the business, Film Scripts (copy enclosed). Thus you and your partner have not only committed a libel but have also abused the trademark C Niall de Mentia in association with the marketing or sale of your products and services.

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that our client's federal registration of this trademark provides us with certain proprietary rights. This includes the right to restrict the use of the trademark, or a confusingly similar trademark, in association with confusingly similar products or services.

It is important that we exercise our right to protect our client's trademark. It serves as an important and distinctive representation of the origin of our products as well as the goodwill of our company. State and federal law supports our position that confusingly similar trademarks may cause confusion among customers. This confusion may cause substantial harm to the trademark by facilitating the loss of its effectiveness in establishing a distinct association between it, our products and services, and our company's goodwill.

AFORESTANDING to the matter of libel, we require your letter indicating your intention to cease and desist any association or business activities with the Rankl3 Jon3s project in lieu of socage, barratry and fief.

PRAETERNATURALLY, C Niall de Mentia has exercised his droit de seigneur with regard to the maundering and subsequent locatry to null and void, fit and proper, perform and discharge, dispute, controversy or claim, and promise, agree and covenant as specified by the law:

IN THAT: If you freely provide assistance, and will at the cost of the borrower forthwith comply with the same, to the ongoing production of "Big Bang' currently being shot in Malabo, then my client waives his reticulated demeanour of habeas corpus if thereof you complete agreement within (5) five calendar days.

AFORESTANDING to these concerns, and because unauthorized use of our federally registered trademark amounts to an infringement of our trademark rights, we respectively request that you cease and desist in any further use of C Niall de Mentia in association with the marketing, sale, distribution, or identification of your products, or services.

We hope that this issue may be resolved this way so we can avoid any further legal remedies as provided by state law and the U.S. Libel and Other Nasty Words Act.

Sincerely,

Arslikian & Arslikian, attorneys for C Niall de Mentia

Props to Wright for the lawyer letter Thumbs up

Emmanuel has been quiet since his trip to the airport.

The hunt for actors goes on though.

Quote:

Dr. Stephen T. Colbert,

Here is my family photo of myself, my wife and 2 blessed kids. I have also attached my working id card as I told you earlier. I then awaits your response as regards sending me the money and every other information you may wish to disclose to me accordingly.

Thanks
Mr. Buka Naam

Isn't it amazing that his id card photo and family photo appear to have been taken on the very same day?

Quote:

Dear Buka,

Oh dear. There appears to be a problem.

Mr. Emmanuel says you are too "chunky" for the part of Ray. Is there any way you could drop a few pounds before we start filming? Perhaps if you could get down to at least 160 that would be good.

I'm sorry, I can not get any money from my producing partners until you lose some weight for the role.

Sincerely,
Stephen

Emmanuel is silent eh? I bet he couldn't understand Wright's email, and has taken it to his lawyer for review and decoding. That's what I did, and I'm still confused. Wink

The first voluntary weight reduction program for lads, Worf? Doing your part to help in the spread of obesity around the world. Very Happy

Buka didn't like that I called him fat:
