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 wonder how many were selected to receive the email/mailing? I got my video in at the last minute last night. *fingers crossed*

Not sure....it did seem as though about a week ago Marlboro sent out "reminders" and even some new invites to LADIES ONLY....

"A minimum of 30 men and 30 woman will be selected"

We were guessing that (maybe) not enough females had entered so they were attempting to "rustle" some up....

I had to wait until we could get a video camera to film with...I should have got the Flip from the Country Rewards promo!!Wink

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?




Congrats!!bounce

Yep...better abide by the rules. If you get a chance to go, you can tell us all about it. It sure sounds like an adventure, with the kick of a paycheck! Good luck!

Are we right on the assumption that Marlboro sent out the second set of invites to ladies only?

In other words...are you a woman too? look around
