fireball2 : Pinball mover for the Stars!

#202 4 years ago

Flame on! My latest texts with our Brotato Lou:
Lou: How much would you charge for moving it 4.5 miles?
Me: $35/hr + repeat customer discount probably 2 hours counting me getting out there from slo
Lou: I'll get the movers to move it
Me: Cool enough... Good luck!
Lou: I'll call you if it's not working! Thanks

#203 4 years ago

If I was the Hulk i'd move it all myself...

... something tells me the OP will be making a house call around Halloween

#206 4 years ago

$70 or less for a custom quality move. Hulk stomp!

#207 4 years ago

Look up another thread about his travails with the influenza vaccine. There’s a great deal of speculation not grounded in science. Caveat emptor.

#208 4 years ago

This thread keeps giving and giving, and at just the right times....lol

#209 4 years ago
Quoted from fireball2:

Lou: I'll call you if it's not working! Thanks

“Hulk - tight ass!”

Something tells me if you said instead of the $70 you'd move it for a photo with him, he'd respond that photos typically cost $100, so you can pay him $30 after you move his pinball.

#211 4 years ago

Geez....The Incredibly Cheap Hulk.

#212 4 years ago

$35/hour for moving your pin to a new location.

$100/hour for troubleshooting problems that arise from not moving pin properly.

Update to thread........... Priceless!

#214 4 years ago

Damn it Mark. I was just getting emotionally invested in this story and in Lou and your telling me he is going to let movers take care of the pinball machine over $70 bones? What the hell kind of BFF is Lou?

Is it wrong to hope the movers leave the balls in the machine and they crash through the glass when they tip the machine over. Then Lou steps on broken glass, falls to his replaced knees in tears and cries out "Come back Mark"?

#215 4 years ago

Lou is an idiot.

#216 4 years ago

For those late to the party, this is the thread that started things:

Quoted from Mike_J:

Lou is an idiot.

Stop insulting idiots!

#218 4 years ago

It never seemed that Lou valued the pinball machine in the first place. It was kind of sad in the original thread that such a nice game was going to someone that was not more caring about it.

#219 4 years ago
Quoted from FlippinJimmy:

Maybe this is what Lou is hoping for...they break it, he claims it on insurance, and gets some space in his house back.

Quoted from DCFAN:

I totally get that. If someone gave me a free treadmill or benchpress it really wouldn't do it for me. But of course I would accept the gift with grace and appreciation then immediately hang close on it.

Maybe hook Lou up with the guy offering "free" storage in a waterlogged NJ warehouse.

#223 4 years ago

On the latest mini episode of Slap Save pinball podcast, there’s quite a bit of Lou talk. Very funny. They reference the original thread.

Update... I guess we'll find out soon.

4 more days. When he texts you to come over, be sure to mention expedited service costs $100 now. When he gets mad, at least you won’t be nearby. Also insist on money, no barters.

I hope the guys from ASAP Movers aren't expecting a tip.

I don't know, I thought this whole thing was so OP could try and become "buddies" with Lou because he's a celebrity. I didn't think Lou caring about the machine was really the point .

#229 4 years ago
Quoted from TravisRT1985:

NO, no, no...this is about that fine, fine machine, and making sure it gets treated right...

#230 4 years ago

I thought it was to share stories about what a douche bag lou is in real life

#231 4 years ago

Yes they are insured $0.60 a pound......

#232 4 years ago
Quoted from Dee-Bow:

JUST STOP! (Insulting douche bags!!)

#233 4 years ago

Lou will be at Galaxy Con in Minneapolis the weekend of Nov. 8-10. Maybe I should stop by his table and ask how moving the Incredible Hulk pinball machine went and see the look of confusion on his face.

Yes, please do that then update us.

#235 4 years ago

So what happened to Lou’s Hulk? Did it survive the night of the 3 stooges moving company?

LOLOL! I just reread this!

#238 4 years ago

The OP, myself and most of you reading this care more about that pin than the owner and that is the sad part about this.

#239 4 years ago

I'm thinkin' Lou will be restaurant hopping today. https://spoonuniversity.com/lifestyle/free-food-on-your-birthday-chain-restaurants-that-offer

Quoted from swillie:

In a sad twist of irony, Lou may decide to move the pin further down the room, alone and become another victim of the Incredible Hulk.

Wonder if Lou would be into to arm wrestling at one of his signings? I’d pay $50 to get his autograph and a pic of him in green, arm wrestling me, while I would have no interest in paying $40 for an autograph.

#241 4 years ago

I can imagine the pin, sitting lonely and folded up in the corner of an empty room while that sad piano music that was always at the end of the Incredible Hulk episodes plays on an endless loop....

#243 4 years ago

Ahh, man, that is sad music.

Also, was Lou cheap even back then? Dude is hitchhiking. Never even offers to help with gas. What a freeloader.

#244 4 years ago

Invested heavily in this now. I must know how it turns out.

#245 4 years ago
Quoted from LesManley:

So, didja? I forgot you said that, and I hounded him again, and he ignored me, which he usually doesn't do. Guess we gotta wait a bit longer...

I didn't end up going to GalaxyCon. I talked to someone else about him on Friday and he said that Lou didn't show up to the event, so I don't know if he was even there.

#247 4 years ago

Let's really string this one out...

#248 4 years ago

it sounds like lou needs someone like a kato kaelin to keep his stuff up and running. maybe he should take out an ad here on pinside. I'm sure there are plenty of people in his area that would gladly volunteer to help keep his restored hulk up looking spiffy

#249 4 years ago

This is funny,buddy!!!!

#250 4 years ago

The guy doesn’t care about the pinball...not point in pestering him.
