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 just had to go dig it out of the retired thread since you missed it.

Quote from shesays :
You people are reveling in my shock at having gotten that vileness, aren't you? Well, I sent an email to the person who told me that I'd be getting a consolation prize [I didn't want to say anything until it actually arrived, because (1) I didn't know if they'd truly send something and (2) they'd already pulled a switch on the TV]. Following is what I sent:

Thank you???

I got the FedEx package today and it contained one of the most butt ugly purses I've ever seen. It's a green-tinged gold colored alligator/snake skin item. My first thought was "OMG, they have to be joking" but then, inside the purse, was a soft storage bag, so I said to moi-meme, "Hmmm. That looks kind of expensive." Went on-line, and the stupid thing retailed for like $95 a few years ago and I thought, "What a waste." Also wondered whose closet it had been sitting in all this time. Did you see what they sent?
Attachment 535603

I posted the picture on a forum I belong to. Following are some of the comments it received.

OMG, I am laughing so hard!
I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy!

give it to a dog - better(?) than a bully stick (you might need to look up "bully stick" to find out why it's such a funny remark)

OMG, that thing is ugly! That was not very nice of them at all! They could have at least stuck a couple crisp $100 bills in the darned thing!

In short, epic fail. But at least you tried. It's too grotesque to even consider re-gifting. My sister will probably dump it in the Lions Club yard sale box (after wiping off our fingerprints – wouldn't want it traced back to either of us) and with any luck they'll get $5 for it.

So trust me on this – the next time a contest gets messed up, do NOT send a consolation prize. Just apologize for the error and move on.

It was me who claimed the Flip Cam on El Monterey laugh out loud I was unemployed at the time LMAO I will never do that again... it was way too time consuming. Looks like a cool video camera, though!

Thank you! And, it was good for up to a $90 order - nice! I ordered cut flowers this time, as they don't have the nice variety of potted ones like ProFlowers does. They are going to be delivered Monday.

I still can't believe Shesays hasn't shown up. Wonder if she forgot that the auction was today!
