OT - anyone in Lowell, MI ?
Anyone in the Lowell Michigan area that could help with something... and pick up something Michigan football related for me, and ship to me ? I'd pay for shipping and there would be something in it for you too :)
Not sure how to contact others here, but trying to give my number for txt at [phone number removed per the OP's request].
Oops, wrong thread.
Edit: but I hope that number leads to a burner phone.
they get Rick Rolled and signed up for Ohio State email list lol
Do you happen to be a Nigerian prince?
haha - not Nigerian... but maybe a prince haha. I just need your bank account number to verify that YOU are who you say you are haha
Here’s my info..
John Smith
1234 Main Street
Anytown, State. 11111-2222
My account number is: 987-65-4321
Let me know what else you need…
No way! My cousin John is from Anytown.
It’s a nice area but it just kinda looks the same as a lot of the other places I’ve visited.
John’s your cousin? He’s a great guy. I see him all the time at the General Store.
When you talk to him.. tell him John says “hello”.
And, though it might look like a lot of other places - there really isn’t any place like Anytown.
Wait. We are talking about John Everyman, right!?
That’s funny - He also says “Hello” a lot and thinks it’s “going to be a hot one” today. His dog Spot sure is cute and his missus always seems to have a fresh baked cherry pie in the window.
Well, have a great rest of your day in Anytown!
You're on the mark - John Everyman is a great guy - and apparently the cousin of another contributor / commenter on the site.
It's going to be warmer - not sure if I'd describe it as "hot" - with a fair chance of rain this afternoon and evening. As for his missus - it's not only cherry pie - she bakes apple, rhubarb, peach - whatever's in season. She's a very talented lady - and he's a lucky guy. The Everyman family has lived in Anytown almost as long as my family has.
Dupe.. deleted
Dupe.. deleted
Is "password" your password?
It is... but, please don't tell anyone...
The password is 1....2....3....4.
"Hey, that's the same combination that's on my luggage"
You left out the middle initial L. in your name!!!
When the son of the deposed King of Nigeria e-mails you directly asking for help, you help. His father ran the freaking country, okay?
I'm trying to think of a funny Eddie Murphy - Coming to America quote lol
I've bought you the Amazon and Apple gift cards, where do I ship them?
No need to ship them. Just scratch off to reveal the codes then take a picture and send that. Easy peasy.
I actually had a pretty good back and forth with one of those scammers back in the day. Looked up banks in Africa for him to go to where I was sending the $$ w tracking numbers and everything. Went to several before he caught on and finally replied w a broken English expletive filled email. I was quite proud of myself.
Also discovered a Mark Rober (our 7yo is a big fan) episode in which they go pretty deep undercover to mess with an Indian scam call center. Worth watching.
Uhhh.... that doesn't sound sketch at all.
Imagine Smokey and the Bandit:
"For the good old American life: For the money, for the glory, and for the fun... mostly for the money"
This goes beyond OT. But I have to say, I am intrigued. How much are you offering this stranger to be your delivery person? Are you paying upfront? Does he or she have to be able to lift 50 pounds? What is this mysterious Michigan swag? Have you tried Door dash?
I couldn't imagine the door dash fee for 9 hours lol...
My father grew up in Lowell, MA. Godspeed OP.
This is a very bad idea sir. Not only to ask for someone to do this but also to give out your number on the internet.
I agree on deleting his phone # and just removed it from his OP.
I could use someone in Northville to cut my grass today. DM me.
They beat us in the State Championship in wrestling this year :(
Tell me about it. Lowell beat my town in the annual “Most old covered bridges by a gently-moving creek” competition last fall.
…They’re tough!
11 straight years D2 champs, don't feel too bad. RJ has got a train rolling over there.
They are unbelievable. They had the #1 kid and the #2 kid in the state, AT ONE WEIGHT CLASS!. They are crazy rich in wrestling. I think we won 5 of the 14 matches. At least we somewhat represented.
They were an elite football program for quite a while too.
It's your lucky day. I'll text you.
Avatar checks out.
This is typically when someone with the username Lowell_wolverine responds.
How about someone with a Lowell Football helmet avatar?
ha that works
Going to need an update on what this situation is where the item can't be shipped by the person who currently has it.
it's booze... a liquor store there has the championship bottles. they'll take my payment over the phone, and hold for me, but they can't ship. I won't be up in MI again for a month and thought I'd see if someone would ship for me - I'm paying for the booze, the shipping, and offering $$$ or a bottle on me :)
crud. we all should've volunteered. show up at a liquor store, get the booze. disappear. the rare 'reverse nigerian prince' move!
I can help. Just let me put my retainer back in, turn off Family Guy, and grab my AP Calc textbook and I’ll ask my mom to give me a ride over to the liquor store where I’m sure they’ll gladly hand over your multiple bottles of hard alcohol to a stranger.
Gee whiz, Mister. You sure are a nice fella.
In all seriousness, best of luck and I’m intrigued by this new-age booze running endeavor.
no way you're in AP calc haha
C'mon, you can't just describe it as "booze" to we degenerate alcoholics that comprise the MGoCommunity and leave it at that—what kind of "booze" is in the bottles?
Cabernet? Chardonnay? Bourbon? Single malt Scotch? Gin? Everclear? Zima? MD 20-20?
God - I wish Zima!!!! how amazing would that be. MD 20-20 would be pretty funny. the engraving would cost more than the bottle (that was my first drunk in 8th grade - got a guy to buy me a bottle at the gas station with a crisp $20)
it's Woodford Reserve... I'd post a picture if I could figure out how haha. do a google search on Woodford Reserve Michigan and look at images. they have all 3 - Big 10 champs, Rose Bowl, Natty
OH I figured it out and the pics are working again - hooray!!!
Now I'm going to have to find some of that! I see the 'WR' on the label... Woodford Reserve? And how much of a premium are they charging for the special engraving?
They did not up charge for the engraving. It was $42 a bottle . Yes Woodford Reserve . It’s at Showboat Spirits but said the order won’t be in until Wednesday
