I'm impressed with the poster Smile

(Apart from the extra "h" in YeaWhatever Wink

)

Ingrid is seeming to be a bit stubborn isn't he, if money cant tempt him out of hiding then I dont know what will.
If Bob is nothing to worry about now you would have thought that he would feel a bit safer...shame that.
Although I'm sure you've got something else up your sleeve YW Smile

My bad...its fixed now Smile

Speaking of mispellings, isn't "sleave" spelled sleeve? Wink

I'm afraid I just don't *cough* know what you're talking about *cough cough*

...dum de dum...

That is such a kick-ass poster. I love the gorillas up in the trees. When I get home tonight, I am going to make that image the new homepage for the Bwindi safari.

That's beautiful BW....worthy of YW's bait. Laughing

Very nice. That is a great job on the poster BW.

And good idea Keyser!

A response to Troy McClure's email from Ingrid. This is still alive!

I am debating putting together a quick, fake, insurace compnay website. McClure is an insurance investigator. I usually let the lads do all the work but this could prove to be a lot of fun.

Sudsman, since my website is hosted at catholiccall.org, your lector email address could work well.

Posted: Tue Jun 20, 2006 8:42 pm

lol YW. I think that the lads have done more than enough work in this bait already. Do whatever it takes to drag it on for as long as possible. But do remember that if Troy is indeed crooked, he will be reluctant to give out his personal details so easily. how does troy know that he can trust ingrid?

btw
that poster was awesome. Much beter then mine.

Hey Keyser

You gave me the idea and I thank you for that. Im not much of an idea man but I'm pretty good at executing an idea...especially when it comes to graphic design as that is my actual occupation Smile

I'm sorry I didn't give you credit there because the idea was all yours...Im glad you like it.

@Keyser Capitalize Forest on your poster. Once you do that, we're going to have to have a vote-off between yours and Worm's. Both are great, I can't honestly make up my mind which is better.

I'm beginning work on a script tonight, I'll write the part of Ingrid, Bernard and Odeke. Could someone else write the part of YW, and we can put that together? Also, someone else write my part, and let's graft after we get done.

Fortunately, since we're going to do this in the Blair Witch theme, we don't need to be in Uganda Twisted Evil

and we can work with a couple DV and digital 8 cameras. We could run it like a reality TV show as far as what the actors do, we provide a cellular phone and laptop for their communication with us, create a simple internet cafe for Ingrid. Other than that, all they know is their names and roughly how their character thinks, so as to properly respond to various communiques.

I think we can do this easily, and by making it a reality show thing giving the actors minimal scripting and information, I believe we can very closely recreate what happened during the weeks in Uganda. Perhaps we could get Ergot to help with finding the proper music, and I think it should star Jeremy Irons as YW, Lawrence Fishburne as Ingrid, Chris Rock and Cuba Gooding Jr. as Odeke and Bernard. And of course, we would need to put YW in there somewhere, maybe in the guerilla outfit when the guerilla finds Odeke and falls in love.

No guerillas were harmed in the making of this film. Not sure about humans, though...

This will be great.

All we have to do is find the proper Nigerian-looking goat farm for the opening scene...

YW, if you need US based web server space let me know.

Thank you very much for the offer. I may be putting together an archeological dig website shortly. I may be contacting you shortly unless Murdockh does not mind me putting the site on his server along with the Bwindi and Darfur safaris.

BRUIN suggested that I say that I work with Lloyds of Londen as they tend to be crappy with the customer service. Since time is of the essence, that is what I am going to run with.

If there happens to be a passport in the works, I think this would make an apt passport photo:

and since this is my first time to chime in on this thread, fantastic bait YW - I think it even tops the Darfur as far as dramatic twists and turns go...

Would a reference from a couple of professors of Cultural Anthropology/Archaeology at Miskatonic University help? Twisted Evil

It looks like the safari aspect of the bait is over. I am, however, going to continue with the bait. McClure is pressing Ingrid for the GPS coordinates that Fitzwell gave him. There is no way that Ingrid is going to just pass over the numbers. If he did, McClure could simply go find the money and Ingrid would be left with nothing. Perhaps the only way Ingrid will pass along the GPS coordinates is to either do it in person or have someone else do it for him in person and then join McClure to the spot where the money is. I know that this is a long shot but that is what I will try to work toward.

No letters since June 20. What's going on? I've been hovering on the edge of my seat for thre days now. Has Ingrid given up the GPS coords yet? What about the poor safari lad, Bernard Martin, that got left behind? What's Odeke doing now?

This is worse than cable tv crapping out in the middle of Coronation Street!!!

Posted: Fri Jun 23, 2006 8:49 pm

Ingrid will doubtless be back in touch when he needs some help using his GPS locator.The idiot is bound to be digging around somewhere in that forest . Laughing

Posted: Fri Jun 23, 2006 8:51 pm

Ingrid is still not responding to McClure's emails and therefore has not handed over the GPS coordinates. I have sent him a few emails but have not gotten around to updating the website. I can't get hold of Bernard or John either.

I am hoping that they are trying to get to the spot where the money is but I have no way of knowing either way.

Ingrid is going to get a phone call in the morning from McClure who is basically going to threaten to hand over all of the information that he has on Ingrid to the authorities if he does not cooperate. You see, the authorities may not care too much about stolen money, but they care a great deal when several people are butchered.

I'm all over it. I've actually been playing with the idea of putting together a compilation disc of Nigerian music about 419 fraud. It may end up being a box set.

Posted: Fri Jun 23, 2006 10:57 pm

The Blair Witch/Get Rich title was my idea - do I get a credit for that?

It would be neat if we could juxtapose the Lad's travels and YW's plotting with scenes of what they think is happening (based on YW's messages). Unfortunately they might be (a) expensive to set up (b) get the movie a certification we don't really want (specifically, the mass murder and necro bits).

Ahem. Just thought I'd stop in and give praise to that insane movie-poster. Laughing

I saw it while at work today, and managed to get quite a few odd looks from one of the maintenance managers as he passed my desk whilst I was howling with laughter. Very Happy

He thought I was watching something on my 10 CCTV screens... Laughing
