A little story to share

Oct 10, 2017, 3:53 PM

Here's a little story about a prank, that was played against me on Tigernet this past week.

Rewind about 6 months or so: I posted an ad in the "General Boards" forum section of Tigernet with an investment opportunity in a clean energy deal. The company was called Crosswinds Energy, which is a clean and renewable energy deal. As it turns out, my clients cancelled the deal after the elections due to a Trump victory. Anyway, I had provided the details of the investment opportunity to include the point of contact. The point of contact was Chris Finnegan, who is the principle of Crosswinds Energy. His phone number just so happened to be in the ad that I posted, and that came back to bite me later on down the road.

Fast forward to this past week: Someone on here posted an ad in the Ticket section of Tigernet. They posted Chris Finnegan's phone number in the ad claiming that he had several tickets for sale at a $300 price range for Zone 3. I guess there were many people looking for tickets because they called or texted him and he forwarded them to me. Not only that, but the people he rerouted to me shared my number with many others.

So far, I've received 1142 phone calls, 1219 text messages, and 783 voicemails asking for "Natty Tickets". Well folks, it was hilarious up to the point where some drunk guy with indistinguishable drunken English calls my house at 4am asking for "Natty Tickets".

I've been home for a little over a month now from Iraq, and let me tell you I have never had such a horrible time until this past week. I can definitely see the humor in it, and I certainly hope who ever done this wins some sort of Prank Award. On the other hand, I hope it NEVER happens to anyone else. I wouldn't wish this on Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi... I just wouldn't.

All of that being said, GO TIGERS! I HOPE THIS WEEK HAS BEEN WORTH IT, AND I HOPE EVERYONE GOT A TICKET TO GET IN.

When I was a younger man, I went to visit a dear friend, that despite having no familial relationship, I have always referred to as my "Uncle Bob". He had recently moved from my hometown, back to where he had lived originally, a small town in Massachusetts called Pittsfield. The very first day upon my visit he took me to the batting cages in neighboring town Lenox. Rumor was, they had machines that had been tweaked to pitch almost 80 miles per hour. Despite the fact that the "60 mph" cage said practice at your own risk and helmet required, he put me in there with the confidence of a man who had passed this test himself a hundred times with his eyes closed. Pitch after pitch, I swung and miss. The pitches were coming and they were coming fast. As I stepped out of the batting cage to insert another quarter, a much older man walked up and asked if he could give me one suggestion. I remember laughing when he shared with me his wisdom. Before I even stepped back into the cage and as I dropped my quarter he said... "Swing now."
