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 !

They say everything in Texas is bigger but have you ever compared a Texas deer to an Alaskan Deer???? Makes you think Texas dont know what big is!!! LMAOLMAO
Well, considering that they THINK they're the biggest, but deep down know they aren't, they have to TALK big. I'm sure they have amazing things there that we don't have here. Every State have something very unique about it and I wouldn't ever want to downplay any State. Just have to make fun now and then. No one or nothing is better than anyone or anything else. Guess that applies more to humans than things though.

I thought it was the typical " You have won $ 5.000,000 euros in the Microsoft lottery" scam but when I realized what it said and I clicked on the link it took me to the game I was playing!! maybe I should pay more attention to more of them!!! After all Ive matched soup and sandwiches on the Stouffers game before but I always clicked off so quickly because I thought you were suppossed to get 2 of the same things!!! Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Quote from BarefootFreddie :
Two businessmen from New York were sitting down for a break in their soon-to-be-opened new shop in Alaska. As yet, the shop wasn't ready, with only a few shelves set up. One said to the other: "I bet any minute now some Alaskan is going to walk by, put the face to the window and ask what we're selling."

No sooner were the words out of his mouth when, sure enough, a curious old woman walked to the window, had a peek, and in a soft voice asked: "What are you selling here?" One of the men replied sarcastically: "We're selling arse-holes." Without skipping a beat, the old timer said: "Must be doing well. Only two left."

Alaskans - don't mess with them!

(By the way...Could you ask Palin to come back 'Inside'?)
Just curious, why don't people like her? Not saying that I do or I don't - just curious.

Liked your story, by the way - thanks!

I've done that too! The only thing I've been lucky at is the instant win game at Huggies. Thank God there's points on blogs, since I don't buy diapers for the grandbaby very often, lol.

Notice its not the women saying everythings bigger in Texas!!! Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) Everywhere has something unique. I was wanting to go to each state and do a pictorial essay about all the neat things each state has to offer.

Thank you!! They are giving away 1 a week but April 8th they are doing the grand prize. Dont know if I qualify for that now but a 60 " TV would be awesome!!!

Congratulations!!!!!

I just checked the official rules, and the only limit it mentions is one weekly prize per household. So, winning the XBox shouldn't take you out of the running for the Grand Prize!

When I was working with special-ed students, that was my biggest gripe....the parents would rarely keep the kids at home when they were sick! Just sent them off to school to get the rest of us sick!!!!!
