Attention Former Millionaire Contestants!

Okay, I normally don't look in the classified ads past page 1, but we're looking for a cheap TV, so I looked in the paper. With the military here a bunch of people sell the stuff they don't want to ship so you get decent bargains.

It was a bust because I don't want a 65" behemoth in my bedroom (down, skippy!) but this item must have been posted in the wrong category:


Searching for former Millionaire contestant. Would like inf. Call xxx-xxxx after 6pm.

So. Does that sound like they are going to be on the show and could use this place? Or like they are looking for a specific contestant (like the Wet Willie guy--he was from here)? Would this be someone you would want finding you? I'm not a former contestant, so I don't know if you guys get stalked or whatever.

If you think this person is someone you would call, the area code is 757 and the time zone is Eastern.

Thanks.

Hmmm. By saying "contestant" instead of "contestants" and by advertising in the local classifieds, I'd say he's looking for one person in particular (whose name escaped him?). Who knows what his reasons are, but I doubt he wants the advice we offer here. :roll:

I was stunned he wasn't already using the middle finger.

Thats' exactly what I thought it was doing when I first saw it! I was sad to see I was mistaken that it might've been some personal message for me....

To me it sounds like they got on the show and would like to find a former contestant to help them prepare.

If you think so, you just happen to be a former Millionaire contestant. What luck!

Be sure to post a report of the phone conversation. :)

I am not going to call somebody that I don't know, especially if it's a long distance call :)

I'll just give them Marley's number so they'll be good and homicidal towards the APs when they show up. That's some Must-See TV!!!!

Nice! The computer appears to be channelling me.

Of course, I'd expect that instead of banging your head on the table, you'd be running for the baseball bat....

But they don't want to talk to me, since I am not a former contestant!

There are plenty of others here who fit the bill, if they share PSM's opinion of the intent of the ad. :wink:

I second that opinion.

Please go back to the skeleton.

Someone on the Wheres George forums used to have that one.

I prefer the previous entry...

Marley's just jealous because as a spectral being he doesn't have all those messy innards.... :P

The skeleton kinda reminds me of my old associate, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.




But when the "yet to come" Christmas season started arriving in stores by July, he had to retire from exhaustion! :roll:

The ghost of Christmas future didn't arrive in our store until mid September, and they didn't even set up the annoying carol singing crap until last week.

I'll report tomorrow.

I have free long distance.

What the heck.
