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 !

Sharecare had a contest that ended on 8/31 for a bunch of prizes I didn't want, but a few weeks they were giving $100 Zappo's gift cards so I entered for those weeks. Sun of a gun, I got one. I'll send it to my sister and suggest that she give it to the nephew with the two young children so they can get shoes. I am SOOOO hoping that she doesn't use it for herself. This could finally end the shoe list.
Nice one!

I posted what's copied below in the new Marlboro thread at Contests & Sweepstakes. The thread immediately died. Perhaps here I will get some intelligent input, lol.

Thanks for starting the thread. I saw the announcement when I visited the Marlboro site last night/early this AM.

I did see some twists in the rules, one was that the winners are limited to one third tier prize, one second tier prize and or course one grand prize. This kinda sucks on the third and seconnd tier prizes because they both have a proverbial "be-Zinga" like the much wanted bottle opener.

There was another one about content limitations on the required written submission by the contestants? Something about health and age related? I was confused by this provision when I read it last night.

I also noted they are going to only judge the first 5000 entrants. The Marlboro contests usually get an average of 50,000 entrants per day. If they are only going to judge the first 5,000 entrants per week. that has a tendency to narrow the potential winners/.

I think the health and age thing is to protect them as well as the entrants. Dont want to be liable for an 80 year old jumping from a balloon hooked to a bungie!!! Its going to be a wild party and they want people who can and will participate in the activities they have planned. Its not a trip that you just get tickets and once there you go where you want or sit and play slots. It will be wild and crazy and they want people who will enjoy the activities they have planned

For those of you that won the skin-it gift card from Marlboro, you can get whatever you want with it not just for a laptop. My son got a skin for his XBox

The difference between black women and white women.. If a black woman asks you if her ass looks big she wants you to say yes.
