Notes from project brainstorm production meeting [11/6/08]

Miriam K. (cert. stenographer)

 

Pieter: Please smother your ideas for a moment. I would like to out-loud read a letter to you.

 

 

[Miriam K. note: here is a copy of the letter that Pieter read in the meeting: {link to scanned letter:}

 

Att: Poaching Flier

pamphlet

Wildlife Pamphlet

 

Pieter: At the moment my mind is brimming over with questions including who in the fuck got this tape to the Game and Fish people of Wyoming?

 

Sarah: I think poetic justice was served. Bill made a bad decision to harm that baby eagle and that bear.

 

Pieter: Female eagle, full grown. As a matter of fact the bald eagles has been wiped off the endangered specie list, OK?

 

Sarah: Oh my god.

 

Nick: He means it’s no longer on the endangered species list because it made a huge comeback. Bill explained that to me.

 

Pieter: Black bears is also a scavenger animal. Like a rat or pigeons. Trust me what Bill did was a service to forestry management.

 

Miriam: So the letter is saying Bill was not actually a real game warden?

 

Pieter: Hoerenjong!

 

[Miriam: according to Ask Jeeves.com, this word means “son of a whore” in Dutch]

 

Nick: Yep.

 

Sarah: What about those poor guys that he hit?

 

Nick: Now do you all believe me that I was in a freaking life-threatening situation?

 

Pieter: Let’s put this accident behind us and move on to more money-making projects. Bouchard was a landmine anyway — he probably would have exploded down the line. He once assaulted me with a Stone Age hand tool while I am dozing in a hammock. This guy got more than his share of stupid-eggs in the personality basket, OK? Meeting dismissed.
