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 !

I had an email i was saving to open and read about entering from Kingsford but now I cannot find it. I kinda think it was for a new sweeps but because i did not open it i do not remember. Did anyone else get anything or maybe it was just an advertisement.

Friends, I am miffed. As you may be aware I discerned that the recent Wayfarer sun glasses given by Marlboro are fakes and not genuine. I also mentioned that Marlboro as a me-culpa would offer any sun glasses winner also a couple of additional gifts. Gave the phone number to call. Well all I got rather than a thank you was a bunch of SD members telling me I was wrong, that Wayfarer was a style because they could find all over the place people and firms advertising with that name. Well I simply discerned what they had discovered was a bunch of thieves. LOL, Now new experts come back and again say that the name is a "style". DOH~ (as Homer would say). .

I guess the most discomfort is that no one said thanks, and then that no one seems to actually believe me. I cannot understand why all seem to think it is OK for a major corp like Marlboro//Altera to provide knock-off copies rather than the real thing. How about some Marlboro Cigarettes from off-shore for 5 cents a pack rather than 5 Dollars?

Here is my last post, where I finally posted the copyright info.

PS: Back around 1980 this simple old cowboy was once a CEO of a large international corporation, LOL. Back before the larger than life salaries and when you left you generally got a golden shower rather than a golden parachute.
My Son won a pair of Sunglasses from Marlboro. They are beautiful and look very expensive. The even came in a case. Today in the mail I received a pair of sunglasses. They are so cheap looking. They came in a cheap black pouch. No name on the glasses. On the lens they say uv 400 Just plain ole dollar store glasses.
Were there two different kinds of glasses given for the contest?

Quote from Vegas123 :
About a month ago, DmHaugland put up a list of winners for the Kingsford Charcoal Long Live Summer Contest. Looked it over to see if I had won a tshirt and realized I MIGHT be a possible winner of the 2nd place prize. So thank you to Dave, this was the 1st indication I had of it. Wouldn't have been into contests so much without the FF.

It was a few more days and a fedex truck arrived with paperwork. I did win. The prize was a Komodo Kamado and $2000....total prize value $5600.
I'm still pretty shocked/surprised. My grill was delivered today. It's a beauty!!

Here's some pics
Snazzy!

Congratulations.
