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 !

Congrats! I used to play that every week, it seemed winnable. Road trip! Smilie
Quote from countrycowgirl :
yippie!

Hope they get the email too!
One of my sisters got an e-mail and the other got a phone call. They both had enough votes to win, but did not make the winner's list which was posted on my birthday. Frown
But, as of today...one has already sent her papers back and the other is now waiting.

Thanks Ang! Trying to find out what it is! LMAO
Got in Panasonic, got my Domino's Pizza and my Fedex from C.
Just want to thank everyone on here for all the help and support! Love ya all!
Congrats on getting your papers from the Birthday Wish Contest, Jem! I'm happy that some of the people that should have won, actually did win! I'm assuming the e-mails and phone calls pertain to both Round 2 and 3, since CCG is included in this mix. I was so disappointed by the winners list, which was posted on my birthday. It was typically unfair and sad that so many people got cameled. Since both my sisters had entries in all three categories of the Round 3 final, I was flabbergasted when they did not win. Perhaps complaints to RJReynolds did more good than those directly to C. I have been periodically reading things in the comment area throughout the week, and I think they may have taken away wins from people as well. Nonetheless, it seems like the wins of this contest may have been repaired to some extent. I'm happy for you! Smilie

I got a E-mail also from Marlboro today, it said I won the Silicone Ashtray, last week on the wifes Account won the conga headphones. I think Marlboro is going to pick up pace awarding these things since code marlboro ends in 15 days.... never did see anybody getting much more then the $30.00 stuff.... wonder if they ever had the laptops, cameras,cars, motorcycles in the first place ?
between my wife and I, we got a zippo, an ashtray and the playing cards. Nothing for quite some time tho

For some reason, I couldn't take a screen shot of it, but I received an email today, from Code Marlboro. I won a deck of Monochromatic Playing Cards -- yeah, I know that it's not a big win, butT it IS a win! bounce Now, I just have to wait 10 - 12 weeks to receive them.
They will probably come sooner than that.

I always knew they danced around a pole and did not know why. Never knew anyone else whose birthday was 5/1. Now I kinda do.

Quote from cwhetme :
Son came by for his B-Day. I won a GPS from Colace game and he wanted that instead of the 2.5T hard drive I had so I gave it to him along with all the stuff Ive won since he last come over. Gave him all my candy wins and a bunch of frozen crab I didnt want and since Im not allowed to havae creamer any more I gave him my 6 bottles I had stock piled!!! Sister dint want Bacardi shirts she won so I gave those to his GF along with some Blonde hair dye. Still have 2 that I won. Colored my hair the color of my roots and turns out I quit being a blond a long time ago!!! LOL Apparently now Im a med light brown!!! Hair has gotten darker the older I get. Think tomorrow I will use one of the blonde kits to put streaks in my hair. At least get some hi-lights!!


Um.... Gues you could say that!!! laugh out loud
wish him happy b/day from me

Quote from momofhel :
I think that's awesome! I can't wait to see them. Er, or NOT see them. LOL
Shame as I do not want to give them to anyone because I think they may hate them so they just sit here.

Thanks to all for the contest links this last few weeks. I've been trying to recover from a two week bout with the flu, and then a cold. Now the place where I WOK is closed for three days due to a death in the family.
I got two Westinghouse bug whackers in the mail this week that I won in the weekly Deerso giveaway. Also a bottle of Mio Lemonade and some VitaCraves Gummies. And in two days I finally won twice on the hump IWG!
About six weeks ago we had to move things out of our safe deposit box, because they closed the bank branch in the small town closest to us. My old wedding ring, a half carat solitaire diamond, has been in that bank box for 26 years. When I emptied everything from the safe deposit box into a cardboard box, I put the ring on my finger, thinking that would be the safest place for it. I wore it for about two weeks, without really looking at it.
On one of my days off, after a lot of housework and cooking, I sat down to eat dinner, and noticed the diamond was gone. I was just shocked and sick and truly POed at myself! I looked at the ring with my jeweler's loop, it was easy to see that two of the prongs were gone. The next day when hubby got home, he took apart the drain of the kitchen sink. No diamond. No vacuuming. How do you look for a missing diamond in a house with wood heat and a big yellow dog? I finally stopped kicking myself, and gave up looking. I figured it went down the drain, just like my marriage.
Because I've been so sick, my housework has not been up to par. I decided to go into town yesterday, and grabbed some silver earrings that needed polishing. I bent down to get a rag out of a basket under a cabinet, and OMG, there was this shiny, tiny object on the floor, my missing diamond! I still can't believe the luck of it, I found my birthstone!

You're welcome. As strange as this may sound, I didn't send you a facebook birthday card. Maybe it was the card someone sent to me a couple weeks ago that I never could find. I don't have Chrome, so I didn't open it either.

OMG!!! That would be Storm!!! LMAO He has gotten so curious lately hes almost rediculous and driving my sister crazy!! He knocks the water bowl off the table just to seewhat the water looks like on the floor!!! He looks in bags just to see whats in them and it was raining last night nd he looked out the window to see what was hitting the roof!!!! He touches pictures on the wall just to see if they move and he gets face to face with the carvings Regina sent me just to star them down!!! He just turned 1 so hes very high energy and runs from one thing to the next!! At least he doesnt climb my new curtains!!! But hes so cute when hes grabbed something he knows hes not supposed to,,,,,,,,,, like my sisters hair scrunchies! he runs as fast as he can to get under the table where we cant get to him. He reminds me of a little kid who shop lifted and is running away thinking... I got it, I got it!!!! LMAO
In Colorado, we get an influx of "Miller Moths" that stop here during their migration path. They are huge ugly moths, but both my "kids" are having the time of their life making sure none survive in the house! Angel's sister finally grew into those long limbs & gets most of them. She's very patient with a tiny spider that occassionally crawls out of the front closet. She'll guard the door for hours.
Did you see that "what you'd like to see make a comeback" thing where they featured 60's vans & boomboxes? One day, you could vote for hair scrunchies! I was horrified, because no one told ME they were outdated! If I'm working at home and being comfy, it is the hair accoutrement of choice. And Angel steals mine, too Smilie
