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 !

Yep...it's me!
I found out I won the Camp Coleman Sweepstakes by telephone on June 1st at 7:30 in the morning. Since I wasn't quite awake, I wasn't sure if I was dreaming.
The winner had the choice of camping at a campground in California, Pennsylvania, Missouri or Colorado. To get the cash prize, I was required to go on the camping trip and invite three family members or friends. I googled up Bear Creek Lake Park campground in Colorado, and it is about a 15 minute drive from where I grew up and went to high school. Since I was going to be in Colorado the week prior, it was obviously my choice. It was sort of a scramble to figure out and coordinate two trips in a short amount of time. Hubby said he could not miss any more time off work, so I invited my two sisters and brother in law on the campout.
Yesterday I asked the Coleman people if I could tell anyone, since they had not yet announced it on their facebook page. Up until then, the only people who knew, were my family, my boss and a couple of co-workers. Coleman said, "Announce away..."
I'll stay with my sister again for several days until the campout. Hubby will be flying back home directly after the Aspen trip and I will be heading back to the mile high city as one HAPPY CAMPER! OMG!

Wow! Congratulations!!! That is very, very awesome! wootbounce

Tell them your the shoe fariy and you only give shoe to kids wiht nice parents bounce

You could also say you give out shoes to kids after you get a present from their parents Big Grin


you could always play the checks in the mail---- I sent nice shoes didn't you get them?
nodlaugh out loud I found out lastr night that some of the stuff Ive won that I was going to give to my sons girlfriend but my sister talked me out of was just sitting in her drawer unopened for 6 months so I told my sister I was taking it back since she didnt use it and sons GF needed it. Didnt give her the option of saying no. She just wanted it because she felt left out of me giving stuff! She has money and lots of stuff, son and his gf are struggling and have kids.

I just got a call from Sun Vac. Think I should NOT do it, she is calling me back. Would have to go to King of Prussia (2hrs.away) for a 1hr. slide. Then I would get (times2, me and someone) withing a year 2 flights to Fla and a 4day 3nite cruise to Bahamas. I would be responsible for about $200 each (taxes and some fee). Said cruse and flight are worth $1,500 each. any thoughts?
I would vote NOT to do that, There are always streings attached

" for a 1hr. slide" Is it a water slide or a slide like in a playground?

If you meant a slide show to purchase, for example, a time share, then RUN, do not walk, to the nearest exit.

If Sun Vac is the actual name of the company, then they don't exist if you try to google them. If you have the real name of the company, just type it into a search engine and see how many complaints you can find. I did find the following: http://www.ripoffreport.com/trave...-6fc5w.htm

But it wasn't exactly the name name, just looks like the same scheme/scam.

Angel says hello. I'll need to find a new contest for her and those extraordinary blue eyes!
Shes so beautiful!!! Not like my sisters scruffy little Angel. She comes from the naughty place!!!! Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)
When I first heard Storm screaming for his mommy I imagined he looked like your Angel. Was so hopeful. Took all night to track down where he was cause he would shut up when I came close!! When I found him he looked like a scared baby penguin!!! My daddy penguin cat was overjoyed and still loves him to pieces!! Now Instead of 1 mean tabby, 1 unsociable tortuous shell wanna be rattle snake cat and 1 penguin looking cat. I have 2 twin penguin cats!!! 1 is a limousine, Storm is the longest cat Ive ever seen!! 42" from nose to tip of tail!!! He can stan up and put his paws on my desk and steal stuff!!!
Sure wish my imaginary cat was the one I found but I love Storm just as much. Just wish he wasnt so ornery!!! He runs up and smacks the boxers on the but and runs!!!! Never saw a boxer so scarred to see a cat walk up to it!!! laugh out loud One day I'll get a ragdoll but got too many for now

Congratulations to all you great winners!

Wow-Lizardo! Someone knew that you needed to visit family-and the money will cover the taxes plus some spending while you visit!
BoydSchidtt-you always seem to win the nicest prizes!
countrycowgirl and Vegas123, always nice to get a debit card-especially $70!
Gary123x-hey! That looks like one of my wins!
shesays-your Nieces/Nephews sound a little like mine. I bought my Niece an extra pair of flip flops (not expensive ones either) 4 years ago and her 3 Brothers STILL remember. Now the boys have all received more free T Shirts than my Niece, but for some reason those flip flops irritate them.

Congratulations to all those FF's that I've missed-trying to catch up.

Won a 2nd copy of Dirty Dancing from Skinny Cow yesterday morning. No candy yet, but 2 copies of a video. Luck is funny sometimes.

Good Luck to all!

update: Won a $25 I-Tunes GC from the Nabisco Summer Spotlight IWG!
http://brands.nabisco.com/nabiscospotlight/
My luck comes in spurts. A whole bunch in a row then nothing for a while. and a whole bunch of what I dont need or want in between. Good thing I have the philosophy that the more you give the more you get!!! Every now and then I have to decide if I really want the prizes Im going for and weed out some of the sweeps Im doing. Get to doing too many. Dont want to spend more than an hour doing them, too much other stuff to do and visit!!
Bought a mp3 player and now Ive had 2 show up that ive won!! Wish I had saved my $15!!! Not gonna buy anything anymore. Just try and try again to win it!!! Really want a nice tablet but not necessarily an I-Pad Guess I can use 1 mp3 player for each kind of music I listen to!!! 1 for when sisters gone and 1 for when sisters home!!! she doesnt like my music...... Only song not from the 80's Ive gotten her to like is I hate my life!! laugh out loud

Thanks!! Not sure I want THAT fridge!!!! Not sure what all he put in it!!! EEK! Been in the fridge for over a week!!!! Told you they mustve gotten lost along the way!! Ky to TX by way of LA!!! WAY out of the way!!!
Mr. Sargent procured provisions for the meal from farmers and fishermen over the course of a week along the way, including peach ice cream in Alabama, alligator meat in Louisiana and squash blossoms in Texas. At each stop, Mr. Berger, with the deliberateness of a scientist handling specimens, placed items in the compartment of the refrigerator.

Sounds like a time-share scheme. My Aunt did that years ago.. she and my Mom went to Fl.... it was nothing but 4 days of high pressure to buy !!!!
