Guessing Game - WWtWGASE?

[colonyearth]

Congratulations Mr. Flessas....uh Anthony. May I call you Anthony? What an exciting day for you!! Are there any guesses in your future? Can you tell our audience when your next guess maybe and what it may be about?

I would but then you'd all disagree with me and who knows where that would lead! Pandemonium! Chaos! Bedlam! Bed someone for chrissake!!

No really, I predict...no wait...better not. Every time I usually predict something bad will happen is happens in spades. And every time I predict something good, the opposite usually happens or all hell breaks loose.

I could always try to reverse the guess and hope it comes out right, but that starts to make me second-guess and who wants sloppy seconds, huh?

Yeah, I heard the music playing which is why I stopped when I did. LOL

As for lottery numbers, I've never had any luck with that or other such things. This was a fluke! I never win anything usually. It feels nice though, once in a while. Thank you all!!!!

Good job colonyearth!

Now if you'd like to share lottery numbers as well, we'd listen to those too.

Congratulations !!!

But I think the music is starting to play

[colonyearth]

Oh!!! Mooey! Mooey! Mesa won! Wahooo!

Sorry, don't know what happened there, this long-earred looking, silly creature just took over my keyboard briefly.

I was on pins and needles wondering if I'd win. I knew they liked to do things like this on Tuesdays...don't know what it is with Hollywood and Tuesdays. Perhaps someone could ask JMS for me. Don't get over to the mod-group much.

Thank you all and thanks to the academy for all of your love and support. I would also like to thank JMS for keeping us B5 fans so well informed of what was at stake (not that I didn't already know but that's beside the fact we all love JMS and that's that!). I would like to thank Jan for making it all possible and giving so much! But mostly I'd like to thank all of you; the little people who have become my fans and have believed in me even when I wasn't sure I did. MMMMMUUUUUUAAAAAAHHHHH! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

PS: Jan PM on the way!

We would appear to have a winner.

I just visited the WGA.org site and, while I can't access the entire thing, I found:

Letter from the Presidents
On Tuesday, members of the Writers Guilds East and West voted by a 92.5% margin to lift the restraining order that was invoked on November 5th... read more

The "ON STRIKE" banner at the top of their page is also gone.

So according to the Official Spreadsheet of Guesses:

2/12/2008 -- Anthony/Colonyearth

Is the winner of the Fabulous JMSNews Forum Prize! CE, if you'll PM me, I'll arrange to have your prize shipped. Congratulations!

I'm happy it's over and happy that most of what I've been reading as possitive about the deal that's been made.

ETA: I just found the entire text on Nikki Finke's site:

On Tuesday, members of the Writers Guilds East and West voted by a 92.5% margin to lift the restraining order that was invoked on November 5th. The strike is over.

Writing can resume immediately. If you were employed when the strike began, you should plan to report to work on Wednesday. If you're not employed at an office or other work site, call or e-mail your employer that you are resuming work. If you have been told not to report to work or resume your services, we recommend that you still notify your employer in writing of your availability to do so. Questions concerning return-to-work issues should be directed to the WGAW legal department or the WGAE’s assistant executive director.

The decision to begin this strike was not taken lightly and was only made after no other reasonable alternative was possible. We are profoundly aware of the economic loss these fourteen weeks have created not only for our members but so many other colleagues who work in the television and motion picture industries. Nonetheless, with the establishment of the WGA jurisdiction over new media and residual formulas based on distributor’s gross revenue (among other gains) we are confident that the results are a significant achievement not only for ourselves but the entire creative community, now and in the future.

We hope to build upon the extraordinary energy, ingenuity, and solidarity that were generated by your hard work during the strike.

Over the next weeks and months, we will be in touch with you to discuss and develop ways we can use our unprecedented unity to make our two guilds stronger and more effective than ever.

Now that the strike has ended, there remains the vote to ratify the new contract. Ballots and information on the new deal, both pro and con, will be mailed to you shortly. You will be able to return those ballots via mail or at a membership meeting to be held Monday, February 25th, 2008, at times and locations to be determined.

Thank you for making it possible. As ever, we are all in this together.

Best,

Patric M. Verrone
President, WGAW

Michael Winship
President, WGAE
