RETIRED: Marlboro Outwit the West Funny Farm

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 !

CW, Glad you're getting so much better!
Thanks. Sister pointed out that I dont seem to be in as much pain lately either. Didnt notice it as much. Have fibromyalgias so I hurt all over, somedays worse than others. Maybe that will be fixed too. can only hope! Wish I was 20 again make that 21 again (need to be drinking age! LOL) but knew what I know now! Or at least I had learned what I know now a long time ago!!! LOL

Facepalm Man! Camel just went ahead on their downhill run! Went from bad to worse! The winners list is completely pathetic! With all of the people that have been entering this thing it's pretty low to give people multiple wins, not only from previous rounds but in the same round!! A lot of worthwhile entries were steamrolled by the mass voting and swapping or dropped by the judges. What a joke!! Sorry to those who were victims! Said it once, say it again...Screw these voting contests!! Censored

I love Friday the 13th!!!
With so much unluckiness about the number 13, it may be is surprising to some that superstitions say that 13 is not always unlucky. Those who are superstitious believe that children who are born on the 13th of any month shall be LUCKY in all of their ventures in life.
happy triskaideka day

A conversation in heaven;

SYLVIA:
Hi! Wanda.

WANDA:
Hi! Sylvia. How'd you die?

SYLVIA:
I froze to death.

WANDA:
How horrible!

SYLVIA:
It wasn't so bad. After I quit shaking from
the cold, I began to get warm & sleepy,
and finally died a peaceful death.
What about you?

WANDA:
I died of a massive heart attack.
I suspected that my husband was cheating,
so I came home early to catch him in the act.
But instead, I found him all by himself
in the den watching TV.

SYLVIA:
So, what happened?

WANDA:
I was so sure there was another woman
there somewhere that I started running
all over the house looking. I ran up into
the attic and searched, and down into the
basement. Then I went through every closet
and checked under all the beds. I kept this up
until I had looked everywhere, and finally
I became so exhausted that I just keeled over
with a heart attack and died.

SYLVIA:
Too bad you didn't look in the freezer
---we'd both still be alive.

Hahahaha, The results are in for round 3. So far only 1k & 2.5k. They did it to me again LMAO. Same thing as in round 2, A few double winners and some with as low as 51 votes. I am LMAO at them this time. Our two finalists in 5k still have a chance. Sorry Jem, You didn't make the list either.
The only round that went smoothly was the first one. In that round they counted the votes (or so it seemed.) I'm sorry dabs and jem! Frown

Quote from Jakava :
C and Fri 13th!! That should splain why LOL I think its going to be one of those days!!
Maybe I should just go back to bed LMAO
Quote from Vegas123 :
My thoughts from yesterday haven't changed.

Just as we spread the news of companies that run fair & legitimate contests, Camel should be mentioned as one of the ones that DO NOT run fair or legitimate contests.
A lot of people got cameled. It's incredibly disappointing and sad.
Quote from Giggles1 :
From what I've read, some FFers have called and asked for explanations about the C contest outcome, to no avail. THAT'S what I don't get........seems to me that they should at LEAST tell those who were in the running and are inquiring, what happened!! Just looks like there's no rhyme or reason

I do, however, admire all of the support you all have given each other and I'm glad to have been a little fraction of that.
The FF love was the one shining aspect.

Quote from countrycowgirl :
Not a single ffer....Confused Really makes me believe someone out there sabotaged usMad
just sayinWink Glad Im not wasting my time on the races there eitherRoll Eyes (Sarcastic)
Color me crazy, but I think there has been FF / Camel mole since the tin contest. Ninja
Quote from Giggles1 :
If only they ( C ) would explain it..........it ALL just seems wrong

I ain't gonna play with their camels Nono
Quote from cwhetme :
Camel snubbed the FF again!!! WTF???? Have a feeling someone turned us in as a vote swapping kinda thing. although the winners were from the camel facebook page that were vote swapping!!!!!
No logic to it...no adherence to their own rules.
Quote from countrycowgirl :
And furthermore, it seemed some won in more than one category! or am I mistaken?
Yep.
Quote from bionicchicken :

way in he!! are they running this legit.

Yessssss I know complaints my not change results, but it will certainly get their attention.
I would be more apt to contact Young America. The inattention of Camel to their own rules should be made known. This is one #: 1-800-257-3774

Some of you know my sisters entered this contest too. They had an entry in each category of the Round 3 final, had the votes to win in one increment each, and neither won. The outcome for many is very disappointing. I'm sorry! Frown
