RETIRED: Marlboro Outwit the West Funny Farm

228 92 October 16, 2010 at 01:35 PM
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 !

How do I report potential fraud to PayPal?



It's extremely important to report any suspected instances of fraud. Not only will this protect you, it will also help make the web a safer place to do business.

Here are some types of fraudulent activity. Please follow the steps we've included below to report them:
•Unauthorized activity on your PayPal account.
•Unauthorized transactions on your PayPal Debit MasterCard®.
•Stolen debit cards.
•Fake PayPal emails or spoof websites.
•Items you didn't receive or a potential fraudulent seller.

I'm pretty sure ya mean NVIDIA.. and no.. I did not purchase the keyboard.. it was an additional $150.. told hubby he could buy it if he felt the need..you're not gonna hurt anything hon.. I will advise buyin a stylus for `bout $14 at Office Max/Depot .. really makes navigation nicer..it is use to "tap" the screen when you use it as a touch pad..
http://www.officemax.com/catalog/...search.y=0

lol.. if youre goin word for word.. here..

I am so excited to have won the most sought after tablet in todays market.. I can not wait to start web surfing in style.. having the addition of the keyboard makes this a double win! The Asus Transformer is the Goldie Locks choice of tablets.. not too big.. not too small.. it's just right for portability or stationary use. Thank you so much NVIDIA!
I just woke up - did no iw's or sweeps. even forgot Marlboro. I guess I was mentally and physically exhausted.
thank you so much again. when I get my thoughts together I will post this. Wonderful response and thanks so much. How much was just the transformer without the keypad? I hope i do not get a 1099. Should I put that it came so quickly and without even so much as a phone call or email to follow up or something like that?I won it on 3/1. Came in 3 weeks.

I honestly believe that someone at c just screwed up and posted random people as winners in a lot of the round 2 spots, and instead of admitting their mistake they are covering it up with piles of bs. Frown
That could be but what about Sprok's win? What happened to him there I wonder.
