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 !

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.
I agree
Quote from Dabble-Inn :
I would like to Thank everyone who helped me over on C. I know it was a Pita to go there everyday, One round is bad enough but to hang in there for me in 2 rounds really means alot. Thank You
Your welcome, I did it for my FF friends
Quote from cwhetme :
Im so happy! I feel so much better already (could be the speeder happy pills lol) Who knew that something the size of a grain of rice could cause so much problems and be so life altering? Had to move my chair to the window so my vampire butt could soak up extra vitamin D from the sun!! LOL At least they told me to eat rare steaks!!! My red blood cells were being released from my bones before they were fully formed so the werent shaped right and I had a type of anemia too! For the first time in 20 years or more I feel like I have a normal energy level and Im not living life walking through a pool of jello!!!! Knee still hurts so I'll still need the surgery probably cause I guess I really messed it up bad when I fell but the rest of me is starting to do good!!
I'm glad your feeling better

Thanks MTmom! hug

Thank you for the birthday cake! I got you with 1000 early this morning for your vise story. Smilie

Mornin' fireboy! Thanks for the birthday hello! Smilie

I've had the flu for over a week...still don't feel very good, and getting old sucks. But thank you for the birthday greeting!

Thanks Giggles!

Thanks Jak! I didn't know until this week that you were a fellow Aries!

Thanks Cindy! Only you could find one happy lizard drinking a beer and another one in a diaper.
Since today is Friday the 13th, I'm holding my breath on whether Angie's granddaughter has her baby today....
Big Grin
Happy Birthday
Quote from cwhetme :
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
My first born was born on the 13th, on a thursday

OMG i'd be having a heart attack if I got a e-mail like that OMGOMG
Quote from Dabble-Inn :
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.
Thats a good one

Quote from Lizardo :
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
I called Young America, They said they have no bearing on the outcome or who wins. They simply give out the money to whoever C tells them too. Go figure. Another pass the buck. No one wants to accept responsibility for this goofyness. Call the FTC, It's a quick call

Quote from cwhetme :
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!!!
I am so happy that you're being taken care of! Now we have to find me a new DR! I cannot stand mine!

LMAO...Big Grin[/QUOTE]
Right?? That made my pathetic day! shake head
K, I'm back to (pretending to) work!

OH! CW! You'll have mail as soon as someone comes over & takes it to the PO. Afraid I don't like you enough to walk. Big Grin

Blowup FrownOMG, after the 1st time I didn't think C would have the nerve to do it again!! WTH???? I'm so sorry for you guys-I know how you feel. Dabs, twice you had to go through this and it sucks. I've been reading the posts and agree-something is rigged somewhere. Maybe they told them they are all members of the Camel Club or something and it worked?? I had called then emailed them after last round (they were supposed to have a supervisor call and never did) and told them they could have at least spread it around and not give 8 people 16 of the 33 prizes, and they should have moved up the next eligible person with the most.....This is so much BS! That whole darn contest wasn't fair. All that time for nothing. Mad

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!!!!!
first place I went today when I signed on and i assumed I did not win so I did not feel too badly. But, I do think you are correct. Something smells funny, really does. Everyone agree?Confused

Quote from dmhaugland :
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
Iagree And despite some of us being in the finals twice someone won in round 2 with 19 votes and some won that weren't even in the finals!!!! AND remember what they did to Sprokitz?? He was on the winners list and got pulled waaaaaaaay later and replaced with someone else who already won a prize. They are crooked!MadMadMad

I do the share but when I have to pick friends I usually only pick a couple and different ones each time so I dont spam over and over. I dont read them all either but I do try to enter the ones that will give them points
I do not pick the same people all the time either.
