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 !

Hey FF!!wave Congratulations to all the winners I've missed!! Had a great day today celebrating our 31st wedding anniversary! Surprised my little woman with a Kindle Touch 3G and case this morning. She's an avid reader, thought I would bring her up to speed on how ya do the book learnin' nowadays! She loved it! Then took her out for a nice dinner. Had to make a little pit stop and buy a new monitor for the computer, ours fried out this morning. Finally got to my emails and received a small win: From: ILFT.com
Congratulations, you've won! Thank you for entering ILFT.com Facebook 100k Giveaway! Thank you for being a fan! A GIFT FOR YOU! You've received a $5.00 Amazon.com Gift Card from ILFT.com!
Happy Anniversary and glad you had an enjoyable day.

Very fitting, considering they originally sent you 2 emails letting you know you won the longboard Big Grin

I checked through several pages, and haven't found any FF's posts about winning anything significant on the Code Marlboro "contest."

I stayed on the Code Marlboro thread, and a few prizes there, but mostly lots of people got nothing. Did anyone win anything big?

I got the goofy ashtray, that's all. Among other 3 peeps I know personally who entered, only one has reported with winning the cards.

I've received it at least once, if not twice. But now that I've been looking for it every time, it hasn't come up.
I know I'm not seeing things now.

I don't think that game is for real money. I believe it is only for fun
yea, just wondered why it pops up like it does.

I still don't understand that. Are you saying that he can't win anything over $600?

EDIT: Btw, Good Morning All

He did a lot of checking on it.....cause he sure didn't want to turn it down....
They told him his checks would be cut off , down the road he could reapply, but no guarantees. He didn't take the chance....

He's quit entering the contests, cause he probably isn't supposed to win anything...seems to be different than regular SS.

Well, didnt get the horse. He was beautiful but no where near as far along in his training as I had hoped. Gonna be hard to fill Tater's shoes. Gotta be patientnod
What a crazy trip. First driving in downpours on one interstate portion only to come up on 1 hour detour (small winding road with no lines) in the mountains because of blasting.... then realizing once I got to my destination that my GPS had been set on "avoid interstates" and I was literally driving through all these little towns, main streets with stop lights, etc. thinking wthMad Yes, I am a blonde!!!EEK! and oldLMAO Left at 7am and returned 9pm!!
Hope you all have some big wins todayhug
Sorry it didnt work out. Hope you find one that is just what you need.
I didnt know what to do with the gps I won from Colace and asked my son to sell it for me but it was his birthday and he said he wnted it so that was his present. He loves it says it tells him when the lights are about to change and if hes speeding!!!. He works building sunrooms and they just give him the address of his next job so it will come in handy!!!

Gee whiz, That sucks. I understand the can't have earned income thing but winning stuff should not count. So he can't even go play bingo or gamble at the casino's? Or buy a raffle ticket for a good cause? Wow.

Oh he'd still play bingo , stuff like that ......

That refrigerator was gonna have an affidavit and etc that he would have no choice but to turn in......and they would cut his checks.

Smaller than $600 , they might find out about it, they might not....but if they did, he has no excuse why he didn't turn it in......other than he was trying to get away with it.

For me if I didn't turn in a 600 prize, I would probably get penalty and have to pay the taxes. If he gets caught they take away his means of support/check.

My affidavit for the $340 win from Motorola stated I will be getting the 1099 paperwork to turn in for next year.....so it's not always above $600.
