Hello

Mike is a Moron.

October 31, 2007

Last night some MORONs came and STOLE the sign out of our lightbox – it would have taken 2 people or one with a ladder. Previously some MORON had stolen an ‘M’ off the other side of the sign. So NOW we have NO signage that actually says MEET ME AT MIKES – and it’s going to cost us over $300 to replace the signs that the MORONS have stolen. What is with people? Seriously. I’m really cross. Grrrrrrr. Some people think they are the only ones called MIKE in the universe. Morons. You are very bad people.

    How terrible. People can be so mean and just stupid!!

    aww guys! thanks so much for all your sympathy! We are on the way to fashioning a new sign.. so fret not.. but if you EVER come across our sign – be sure to smack whoever has it in the face for me!

    Sucks. Big time.

    Suggestion – anyone out there want to make a “softie for Mike’s”… concept being that we make a softie, donate it to Mike’s and they sell it for sign money. As we’re all softying for Mirabel already, not hard to make an extra one?

    I’ll go post this in the Flickr group, see if anyone wants to play.

    Dickheads.
    15 years ago I would have said it was my brother. He had a street sign collection in his bedroom. Funny business that nicking stuff from good people….

    Bastards! I might be able to help out on the lettering front. I used to work in the sign industry (Hubby still does!) I’m sure I could rustle up a favour from some old contacts.
    Cheers,
    Joy

    I agree! Grrr to them! I’m sitting here in Adelaide just wishing I could see Mike’s. Some people don’t appreciate what’s around them. Grrr to them and grrr to vandalism in general!!!

    I’m so sorry that happened Pip, they are totally a moron and I am sure they will put in up in there room and SOMEONE will catch them out and tell them they are a total twat for doing something so stupid!

    Hey Pip!

    That’s CRAZY! The footy isn’t even on!
    We were just in Fitzroy today chatting signs with Cam! We actually have a big pile of white acrylic at our house which my boy would be too happy to cut to size for you?
    Let’s chat signs during the week.

    Scums! Scums! Scums!

    Karma will come back to both you and the cretins who did this…perhaps the Mike’s sign will fall off their wall and the wall will fall with it 🙂

    What the hell?? So OK, i’m as cranky as all of you & maybe, one day, someone named Posie will run off with my banner, or website?? But I’m thinking there are a lot of blokes called Mike out there thinking it was a cool thing to do while drunk, or planned & sober . . . yes – stupid, morons, wankers. Why not make a really arty replacement?? Nuff said . . . Love Posie

  • dizzyjadey November 1, 2007 at 7:05 AM

    Morons! They’re everywhere. So does the other sign now say “eet me at Mikes”?

  • kwoozy November 1, 2007 at 6:58 AM

    that’s is extremely annoying! i agree with Angela – karma will come around to these moronic ppl.

  • Lark November 1, 2007 at 6:14 AM

    I was sorry to hear this, Pip. I hate to hear about theft from small indie businesses, I mean it’s not like you’re Sportsgirl or something, don’t these people realise that?

    OMG !!!!! What are people thinking????
    Spose it’s going to look good above “Mike’s” bar or lounge room.
    What is going on in this world…..
    So sorry to hear about that.

    oh man some people just suck don’t they, I really really hate senseless petty crimes like that, I once had someone badge my car which cost me $200 to replace them, then months later someone bent my windscreen wipers is stupid shapes and I had to buy new ones which cost another $150. I’m angry with you pip, you should set up a donation box in the store to help cover a little of the cost! I’d contribute *nods*

  • feli November 1, 2007 at 2:35 AM

    Grrrrr!!! What Morons!! Three Buttons is right Karma is a Vengeful Elephant. :*)

  • Daniel November 1, 2007 at 2:30 AM

    Oh no! Grrrrrrrr to them.

  • arthur's circus November 1, 2007 at 2:17 AM

    Man, people can be so dumb and mean. I’m trying not to swear here for your situation. Grrr to them and I agree with three buttons…karma go get em.

  • nikkishell November 1, 2007 at 1:28 AM

    What idiots!

  • three buttons November 1, 2007 at 12:33 AM

    That is just CRAZY!! There is nothing worse then when you have to foot the bill from someone else’s thoughtless acts.

    I’m sorry to hear that your lovely sign has disappeared… may the karma fairy dish out some justice!!
