Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

Very nice! What else are you waiting on?

cooler, bonus gifts and the netbook. Haven't called Marlboro, for some reason I seem to be really patient about all of this. Hubby says it scares him...lol

BTW...the whole family played...all 4 of us! So that's why so much stuff. The netbook is mine, everything else belonged to the guys.

Have a great day

Wow! Think you're the first person actually PATIENTLY waiting for the netbook...good for you! nod
According to Ichi's earlier post, Marlboro said today that the bonus gift ashtrays are backordered....just like the netbooks. Coolers seem to be shipping here & there.

I got a shipping notice for my cig case a few days ago. For me, that leaves the backordered ashtray/bonus gift. Got my Carhartt coat just before Christmas (before they too went on B/O)

Enjoy!

Hot off the line with Marlboro Consumer Affairs:

1) The free bonus gift of a dome metal ashtray (the ones already shipped have a Texas Star pattern opening/lid) are now BACKORDERED.

Those expecting Bikes, most are being made ready for shipment, and are not yet shipped. There is at this time no backorder problem with the bikes.

(a little birdie did explain to me that the most likely situation was that Marlboro received the massive bike order in "bulk" and the Marlboro fulfillment dept are having to gather parts from various bins to result in a full bike....as an example we were told the "seat" was to be a large one and not the standard one...if that is true then those seats would have been delivered in a separate shipment to Marlboro, same thing may well be true of other items that were ordered like the dual water holder, etc.)

The only way to know for sure about the bikes is for one of the first people receiving the bikes to take a few pictures and show us what Marlboro delivered.

PS: today's my birthday! I made it through another year. Last night I got an eight inch prize for my birthday!

Eight inches of snow from Mother Nature...

PPS: Roddy, my cowboy partner in OWTW4 is today on horseback with an Axe breaking open frozen water troughs for the cattle. His 4x4 pickup would not make it through the drifted snow. It's about 16 degrees outside right now. Thse pretty cowboy pictures from Marlboro are real nice but not always accurate...especially in the winter!

Horse

THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!! (wish I could rep you)

MOST IMPORTANT .... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! worship worshipworship

The jackets are nice, I have seen one. But too hot for Florida weather. I look at it like this. I had a blast playing the game, it's all free stuff (including shipping), and I get the info here from the people that have made that call, no reason for me to call them as well. Even though Christmas day my monitor on my laptop took a s**t. I paid 600 for it 4 years ago and they want 368.00 for a replacement screen. I have found them cheaper on e-bay, but the parts people go back and forth against each other so much they keep pushing up the price. Wouldn't normally matter, but hubby is on his 18th layoff in 3 years, so the bucks are a little tight around here. I keep posting the prizes as the e-mail comes in and when it arrives, hoping to help someone who might be waiting and wondering.

I can't wait for this SNUS challenge to see what it is about.bounce

I will enjoy...thanks!

Horse

Howdy Pardner & Happy Birthday. From those photos that were put up by the person who received their bike already, the seat looked liked the standard seat that comes with all the Fuji Nevada 4.0's. Regarding the double water bottle holders, I didn't see any actual bottle cages in those photos. I think they're just referring to those four allen screws, the two on the down tube and two on the seat tube which are for mounting cages if you want to buy them. These are also standard on these bikes. I could be wrong (and often I am) but the bike looks pretty standard. I'm even taking that story about a custom color with a grain of salt. If you look at the bike being sold by Sport Chalet (link below) they're selling the same color bike as the one the person here received.

Actually, you should pick the team that you feel will win the contest.
