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 !

I too would like to know, just out of curiousity, how many entered & who will be selected. Do you have a Google account? If so, you can make a Google Docs spreadsheet. I have access to Google Docs, and could try to set something up if you don't. Haven't ever tried it, but it's worth a shot.


Yeah, it was!
Mellowcat set the last sheet up...all I did was help maintain and edit as needed...so I have no clue how to set one up

If you want to try I'll help however I can!!woot

Can you please tell me what that team Marlboro is all about? If chosen, what is involved? I must have missed it when you guys talked about it! You get a trip to the ranch?

I'm sure that depends on if the "D" in DH stands for Dear or Darn...
What was the theme and nature of your video submission? I hope you get to go, as I'm sure it would be a terrific and fun adventure!
Keep us posted!

That D would be Dear/Darlin....he not only shot all the video (100's of takes in 3 different scenic locations), but spent the last three nites editing it to EXACTLY 90seconds!! He's also already made plans at work to take the week off WHEN (positive thinking) I'm selected!!

Sorry, got worried about posting what I did for video....rules state "video should be provided only to us and not be uploaded anywhere else, including to any public websites" I know I didn't POST the video, but since noone else has shared what they've done I just want to be safe...

Did you enter? If you did...what did you do?

I got my $50 prepaid Mastercard from the Dentyne game today in the mail. The mail-lady drove down my driveway and honked, because I had to sign for it. It came in a huge envelope...my best instant win game prize!

Yahoo!

Congrats!!bounce

About a month back "select" people were invited to enter an essey and video to become part of TEAM MARLBORO (selected because of how long they had been part of Marlboro.com and the level of participation in Marlboro events)

If selected, you join one of ten teams (of 10 people) to work for 7 days on a restoration project of a western nature....like "saving wild mustangs"... "building a trail head" or "restoring a river habitat"....you will work "Hands-ON" for eight hours a day!! Marlboro pays for the transportation, food and lodging....

At the end of the weeks work.....MARLBORO SENDS YOU A CHECK FOR $6000!!!Wink

I SOOOOOO want to be selected!!!!!nod

Welcome to the FF Smilie . Never a dull moment ( well usually not any way, Wink )
That bike ride made my teeth Big Grin rattle.

Thanks mix3 for fixing my avatar worship , thought I would bring a little holiday spirit at the expense of my little mini-Aussie, he's the most mischievous Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) little character I've ever had.
