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 !

WOW!!! Romneys adviser on job creation just came on and explained his plan to create new jobs is to do away with taxing big corporations in order for them to have more money to hire!!! Dont see how that will help since most of the big corporations are already having some of the biggest profits theyve had in years and they still arent hiring!! Maybe instead of making big companies not pay taxes they should charge extra to companies that manufacture over seas!!! That way its cheaper to buy American! Think its great that some of the companies are relocating to the US on their own out of pride and patriotism!!

Quote from popp :
Good Morning Peeps


A Dallas Cowboys fan and a KC Chiefs fan were driving along when all of a sudden the Cowboys fan slams on the brakes.
There was a sheep with her head stuck in the fence and the Cowboys fan said "We Cowboys never pass up an opportunity like this!"
And he gets out and has his way with the sheep. Then he says to the Chiefs fan, "Your turn"... And the Chiefs fan bends over and sticks his head in the fence.
Rofl2 Rofl2 I was just doing a quick 'lurk' but had to sign in to say: popp, you have got to stop making me shoot coffee out of my nose! It hurts but more importantly, it's a huge waste of caffiene! There are people sleepy (hungry?) in China! The worse part was that it took a minute to sink in. Confused

Soap Box Romney is the poster child, or as I call him "meat puppet", for greedy corporations. He was chosen and is being financially backed by these power mongers solely to get him into the White House to do their bidding, which is to take away our rights(which gives them more power over us) and to suck us financially dry! If Romney and Obama are the only two choices you are deciding over, Romney is definitely the worst of two evils. Myself, I will either go with a third party, such as Gary Johnson, or no one at all.

I agree. Corporations should not be allowed in politics!!! They are not innocent unbiased bystanders!! When Obama did the shovel ready stuff I thought that was a great idea. We have so many roads and bridges that are bad and80 year old water system and electric grid. Our Gov at the time took the money for the work and didnt hire anyone. Instead he added the jobs he applied for the money to the end of what was already being done so no jobs were created. New Gov took office 1 year ago and low and behold we now have new gas lines and they are putting fire hydrants every 4 blocks and updating the water system!! Woo Hoo!!! Sister complained that they are closing alot of roads to do improvements and she has to take detours to work!!! They are redoing 4 clover leaf interchanges in Springfield alone and widening very congested hyways on the way to Columbia. Nice to see construction workers on the side of the road again!!! Now Im too old to stop and take one home!!! Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Got to go outside and plant some Rose of Sharon and roses and my fire bush while the weather is nice! Rain storm we had loosened up the soil just enough to work with it!

Good Afternoon Friends!

Marlboro is giving away "Wayfarer Sunglasses" and I decided to do some research. I discovered that in all honesty the only REAL "Wayfarer" sunglasses are made and ONLY made by Ray-Ban. Wayfarer is a style designed and patented by Ray-Ban and is still made by them. The Ray-Ban price range for their Wayfarer Sunglasses is $154.95 to 249.95.

Some of you may say that the cheep Chinese knock-offs are also real Wayfarer, because it is a "style" and not a specific product, but I beg to differ and say simply that all other "Wayfarer" sunglasses made by companies other than Ray-Ban are simply illegal copies, and fakes.

Me suspects that Marlboro's Wayfarer sunglasses are simply cheap Chinese copies, but alsi me thinks that if one bitched Marlboro would also be inclined to give a genuine Ray-Ban Wayfarers since they as a major corporation would never infringe on or condone the miss-use of a copyrighted name or style.

Just some mid Saturday rambling....from an old cow-poke

Ichi

PS: Next maybe we will see Marlboro's offering of Rolex Watches (made in China).as prizes???

Now Cindy, lets not make this a political forum. But let me ask you. If you were an American company and most of your customers were in China, where would you build your new factory? Springfield or Beijing?
