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 had to laugh at the responses to the snake!! Gets em everytime!! Up until a year ago, we had two boa constricters, a male and a female named Alice and Cooper. We started out babysitting them when they were just babies for a friend of our sons who, through his own stupidity, ended up in jail. This led to us raising them and actually getting somewhat attached. But, nine feet later, we were fortunate enough to get an offer to buy them from a local pet store as an in-store attraction. It was getting harder and harder upgrading to larger critters to feed them. They were good at cuddling though!! Wink

Need the right words to advertise the age discrimination. Ya'll have any ideas as I am really disappointed on Marlboro's unconscionable methods for selecting their invitees.
I told ya Katie, ya might not get to the ranch, but you are always welcome in my house in Montana. I'll bet we'd have more fun anyways. The hell with the youngins and Marlboro Ranch.

Someone earlier on the Marlboro forum, said they called and the person basically told them "YES: they do select a certain age group. Put them on hold, and them basically tried to cover their tracks.

"DIRECT MAIL CIRCULATION OF 280,000. THE ACTUAL ODDS OF WINNING A PRIZE DEPEND UPON THE NUMBER OF ELIGIBLE ENTRIES RECEIVED.
