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 !

It's the thrill of winning that sustains you, although you do win a lot to make it worthwhile.
I am so far behind again. Have not written since yesterday and absolutely no sweeps. But before midnight I won one movie ticket and another at about 4 am. Living room is a mess again. Upstairs is ok now. Putting in the new air down here so drapes and curtains that are new had to come down again. paint the window sill and prep. cool here today, lucky and Sam took off. Everything winds up to be a project. Hope he gets it in by dark. paint will not dry as it is very very damp and sprinkling. Then, maybe the little livingroom airconditioner can go up to the spare bedroom that is totally broken. another 2nd floor project to get that one out and this one in. Just no time for fun any more, but it could be worse.

But some people are devious and I do not put anything past them. What if they are casing your house and you never know. Too far fetched?
Thats why D-Link said to point it out the window if needed. If theyre casing it they will try the easiest access points like sliding glass doors or back doors and windows

Thanks. Ya I have 6 tickets to use plus waiting for the e-mail with the $100.00 Fandago Code.
Congratulations on winning the movie tickets! I've only won one so far on the AOL Moviefone Summer IWG, but last summer, I didn't win any, so I'm ahead!

Rec'd a pair of the Hanes Comfort Toe Seam socks today (after receiving the e-mail yesterday), but they are size 5-9 -the contest stated that they would only be sent in size 9-11EEK! My Niece's feet are larger than mine and Mom loves the Thorlo socks. Still, it's a win.

Good Luck to all!

Quote from Gary123X :
In the heyday of sailing ships, all war ships and many freighters carried iron cannons. Those cannons fired round iron cannon balls. It was necessary to keep a good supply near the cannon. However, how to prevent them from rolling about the deck? The best storage method devised was a square-based pyramid with one ball on top, resting on four resting on nine, which rested on sixteen. Thus, a supply of 30 cannon balls could be stacked in a small area right next to the cannon. There was only one problem...how to prevent the bottom layer from sliding or rolling from under the others.. The solution was a metal plate called a 'Monkey' with 16 round indentations. However, if this plate were made of iron, the iron balls would quickly rust to it. The solution to the rusting problem was to make 'Brass Monkeys.' Few landlubbers realize that brass contracts much more and much faster than iron when chilled. Consequently, when the temperature dropped too far, the brass indentations would shrink so much that the iron cannonballs would come right off the monkey; Thus, it was quite literally, 'Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.' (All this time, you thought that was an improper expression, didn't you.)
That was interesting. I read it to hubby, and he thought so too.

Guess you got some rain yesterday. We had some storm clouds go north and south of us again last night. We need rain badly. It's been cooler today, though, but I can't say as I've accomplished anything that any one would notice. This summer isn't one for doing projects. We need much cooler weather.

I get sidetracked from doing the contests.

As of today, I've downloaded about 15 of Jason Mzar's songs and plan to burn them to a CD. Have been figuring out the order I want. One song I really like (Sunshine Song) has over a minute of the crowd screaming that I don't want to listen to. So today I downloaded a music editor and figured out how to trim the song. It took me awhile to figure it out but it worked. Someday, I'll win or buy an ipod or something similar, so I am trying to beef up the music I have on the computer.

Yippie! woot I need some sunglasses, they look like aviator style, but not sure they will be dark enough for my liking...if not it will make a nice gift.

Sounds like everyone needs water to go with their sunshine.
Happy to hear your mom is hanging in there. It's OK to be a little crazy...

At least you do get something done. I go from thing to thing and seems like nothing gets finished. Now the humidity is building, air conditioner is still not in (still cutting wood to do things right and nice, and sweating badly.)
