Case: Pending Jebediah Crumplesnatch vs Bloggy Woggy

Your honour, I request a break in proceedings as I believe the Defendant and I may have reached a settlement. I would ask that he confirm or deny before I withdraw the case or present an opening statement

Your Honor,

The parties, through their undersigned representatives, hereby submit this Joint Stipulation to inform the Court that we have reached a full, final, and complete settlement of this matter. We wish to put this entire, frankly exhausting, episode behind us. It has been a journey, a real journey let me tell you, a journey through the legal system of our great Azalea Isles that has opened our eyes to many things, many important things about justice and about hair, mostly about hair to be completely honest with you, not that I wasn't honest before, but now I'm being extra honest because that's what this settlement requires. The people of the Azalea Isles deserve that honesty. They're great people, the best people, hardworking people who don't have time for nonsense, they're too busy tending to their azaleas which are the most beautiful azaleas in the world, everyone says so. Pursuant to the terms of our agreement, and in consideration for the sum of ONE DOLLAR ($1.00 AZI), a transaction of such staggering magnitude it has single-handedly stabilized the entire economy of the Azalea Isles and frankly should be studied by economists for generations to come, the Defendant, Bloggy Woggy, on behalf of BlogWorldExpo, does hereby formally and publicly admit the following:

We were wrong. We were so profoundly, categorically, and unequivocally wrong that it defies all modern understanding of wrongness. We were wrong in a way that echoes through the halls of history, a spectacular wrongness that will be studied by philosophers and legal scholars for centuries to come. We were wronger than a rainstorm at a picnic, wronger than a screen door on a submarine, wronger than trying to eat soup with a fork. Our level of wrongness was so immense, so monumental, that it could be seen from space without a telescope. We were not just a little bit mistaken, we were operating on a completely different plane of incorrectness, a universe of wrong where right doesn't even exist as a theoretical concept. We were wrong in the morning, wrong in the afternoon, and we would have been wrong in the evening too if we hadn't seen the photographic evidence that shook us to our very core and forced us to confront the sheer, unadulterated magnitude of our wrongness. After a rigorous, discovery process conducted entirely over private message, a very modern way to handle justice that I invented, the Plaintiff provided incontrovertible, photographic evidence. I have seen this evidence with my own eyes. It is a picture. A very clear, very bright picture. And let me tell you, it's a beautiful picture. The best picture. Many people are saying it's the best picture they've ever seen. The lighting was perfect, the resolution was high, very high, not like those low-resolution pictures you see sometimes from the fake news media that is always trying to attack the Azalea Isles, this was a high-energy picture of a high-energy individual with a high-energy head of hair that would make our national azaleas jealous. Based on this undeniable visual documentation, I am compelled to state, for the record and with the full force of the law behind me:

Mr. Jebediah "Fergie" Crumplesnatch has hair.​

He does. He has hair. It's there. On his head. A full head of hair, very luxurious, very powerful hair. A tremendous amount of hair, really. Nobody in the entire Azalea Isles has more hair than Fergie. It's true. It's a fact that we can all be proud of as a nation. It's the kind of hair that built the Azalea Isles, strong hair, resilient hair, hair that doesn't quit even when the pollen count gets high. And you know, it makes you think about the bees we have here in the Azalea Isles. The bees are always working, always busy, making their honey, pollinating our beautiful national flowers, the azaleas, doing their bee jobs without any complaint. They don't have time for lawsuits, the bees. They're too busy. They have a society to run, a hive to maintain, just like we have a great nation to run here in the Azalea Isles. They understand the importance of a good day's work, something I think we've all forgotten with all these lawsuits. We should be more like the Azalean bees. This entire case really makes you think, doesn't it. It's like that movie, the Bee Movie. You know the one. A little bee, a total outsider, he takes on the entire world, he says the rules are wrong, he goes to court. He says you can't just take a bee's honey, it's his honey, he made it. And nobody believed him at first. They all laughed. But he fought, and he won. A beautiful story. A true story, some say. And this case, our case here in the Azalea Isles, is a lot like that. A lot of people didn't believe about the hair. But we have the proof now. We have the honey, folks. We have the honey. And let me tell you something about Azalean honey, it's the best honey in the world, very sticky, it gets everywhere, but it's sweet, very sweet, just like this victory for Fergie and his hair, a sweet, sticky victory that we can all enjoy as a nation. And another thing, while we're on the subject of things that need to be said, the weather here in the Azalea Isles has been very unusual lately, very unusual. Has anyone else noticed that. It's either too hot or too cold for our azaleas, never just right. It's like Goldilocks, but with global warming, and nobody is talking about it. They're all talking about other things, unimportant things, but not the weather. And the price of azalea fertilizer. Outrageous. A disgrace. We should be fertilizer independent, a strong fertilizer independent nation, making our own compost, using our own resources, not buying from other archipelagos that don't like us very much. We could be like the bees, self-sufficient, in our own hive, making our own honey. We need to compost, compost, compost. It's the only way. Believe me.

So, this matter is settled. Done. Over. A great victory for everyone in the Azalea Isles, a really tremendous victory. We're going to make litigation great again in the Azalea Isles. We're going to have winning, big, beautiful settlements like this one. The best settlements. People from all across the archipelago are going to look at this settlement and they're going to say, "Wow, that's a great settlement, how can we get a settlement like that." And we'll tell them, it's easy, you just need one Azalean dollar and a photograph of some very real, very legitimate hair that would make our national flower proud. Therefore, the parties jointly request that the Court dismiss this case with prejudice, each party to bear their own attorneys' fees and costs, except for the aforementioned one Azalean dollar, which has already made this entire process worthwhile, a real bargain if you ask me, the best dollar I ever spent, a fantastic deal for everyone involved in the Azalea Isles, really a masterpiece of financial negotiation that they should teach in our business schools.

Respectfully submitted this day,
Bloggy Woggy

^ - Fergie's photo that was sent to me. This picture to the court, because it's incredible, really incredible. You have to see it to believe it. It's a picture of Fergie, a great guy, a tough guy, but a fair guy. And the hair - you wouldn't believe it. There's so much hair, it's unbelievable. The most hair you've ever seen. It's not just hair, it's tremendous hair. Powerful hair. The kind of hair that wins cases, believe me.

Motion to strike
Your honour, I motion to strike every following the initial statement of wrongdoing from the defendants testimony. The settlement agreement required an admission of guilt. It did not require the defendant to post such a monologue, nor did it allow for the defendant to commit further slander by posting an edited photo of me without my consent to try and sneak it onto the public record.

I would ask that the aforementioned be struck from the record, or else I will consider the terms of the settlement to be unfulfilled and require the case continue further.
