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 !

Apple has such a great PR firm but they arent really that good. Theres nothing wrong with their product so much as they are soo proprietary and you have to buy your movies and games and songs from their library and you cant put your own on.

I reread the rules a while back when people on that Marlboro Summer 2011 contest forum said they had won. One person was someone who I remembered from other Marlboro contests and I didn't doubt he was telling the truth. So my take on it is that they are sending out the $1000 prizes after each weekly contest.
I'm not doubting the sent some out, I was just curious if they had to or not. you know, If the rules stated end of the contest, so they just sent some out when they got around to it. It looks like rules say Gotta every weeklaugh out loud

I thought the wording was confusing, too, but when I read people were getting FedEx notices, I just figured they were sending them.

I could only find 4 people on SD that had actually been sent a notice and one of them said it was by email. I figured there would be a whole lot more than 4 people
