Re: Hey Bubba

OK flathead I will tell you.<br />First off let me say it is nothing like you would think it is.<br />This TV "studio" is nothing but one tiny room.<br />Them doors you see us coming through would fall over if you pushed them the wrong way.<br />Just outside them doors is where you talk to the announcer.<br />When he says "Go right that way, Josephine has some documents for you to sign, you go out a door into a big empty warehouse. There is a small metal desk there where you sign the papers.<br />It is all planned and stagged.<br />You know before you go what the outcome is.<br />This is agreed by both parties.<br />I was suing this person because of money her and her husband owed me for services rendered.<br />They paid for our flight there to NY, picked us up in a limo, took us to a Hotel which was also paid for, and the funny thing about the whole deal, is that the defendant did not have to pay a dime.<br />The winnings all came from a special fund.<br />All this just to make a show.<br />Worked for me though. I got my money and a trip to the Big Apple. :cool: <br />

Oh yea, it's a big production, but in a small place.<br />They have directors and everything.<br />All in behind the judges bench above them are cameras and the people in the audience number about 30 or so and thats pushing it.

Re: Hey Bubba

no Djohns it is not. :D <br />crab bait, I wrote the show and told them what I had and they got back to me in a couple of days and said that they liked the idea and for me to go and file suit here locally and then they would pick it up from there.<br />Once they have it and you go there and do your thing, you can't come back home and sue the people locally then. :cool:

Re: Hey Bubba

is that the video clip of the huge ship dropping anchor on the front deck of the tugboat? :D <br />and as the anchor bounces off, a guy on the tug gets thrown off the starboard side? lol<br /><br />OBJ - you gotta see the one where the tug hit the bridge, let loose of the barge, then the tug flipped on side and went under the bridge (a 2ft gap). i think it was on the black warrior river

Re: Hey Bubba

Ebb is that the one where the tow flips on it's side, goes under the bridge, rights itself, cranks up and gets under way again? And this ain't no small tow either. That was incredable!!!! You just don't do that! Least there was plenty of water ta' wash down the pilot house cause it had to be a mess....least I know what I would have done in my pants!! I may still have the clip at work. I'll take a look.
