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 !

This is a good deal on a glow in the dark keyboard! $17.99 with free shipping. http://the-deep-discount.store.bu...31477.html
1 sale a day had that for ten bucks last month. I am typing on it now. It isn't backlit, but the keys are a light green color that you can see in low light. Also, it is sealed so you can disconnect it & spray it off to clean it! Handy for when you read FF & spit coffee or drop a long ash laugh out loud

I wouldn't say it "glows", but I kinda like it. Keys seemed a bit stiff until you use it for a week or so to break it in.

Quote from ichijinrai :
Marlboro offered as a mass prize instant win a pair of Wayfarer Sun Glasses. They also showed a picture of what purported to be a pair of Wayfarer Sun Glasses. Marlboro said the value was $14.99 Well I checked and there are a number of wayfarer sun glasses valued at around $149.00 and I also telephoned Altera/Phillip Morris consumer affairs and was assured by the CA dept that any Wayfarer sun glasses sent would be genuine . What Marlboro sent me was a cheap pair of Chinese knock-off's that looked somewhat like a genuine pair of Wayfarer. Quality of construction was way off.

The cheap black pouch ones were supposed to be Wayfarer,Sun Glasses, a brand name of Ray Ban.

Thanks

Yeah, I too got the cheaper bike, lol. You need to call Consumer Affairs to get an apology and perhaps a few additional prizes, 1-800-494-2444

Make sure you copy the name registration info on my most recent post on the actual contest thread. You will want to reference it when you talk to CA.

I got a pair of those, too. Just awful! Very unlike the big M to send out something so cheap & these could cause eye damage w/o UV protection of a Ray Ban. They are very ugly to boot. I'm not sure if Salvation Army will want these.

Didn't they do a campaign about "Stand By Your Brand"? They must understand the value of trademarks, brands, and loyalty. Sometimes only if you are in their desired age range, but that is another story.

Maybe corporate America will wake up & realize their cost saving plans of offshoring/outsourcing both manufacturing & people was not a good idea. I saw the problem coming on in the early 90's, and it has escalated from there. I'm tired of working with people from India who cannot form a proper English sentence (let alone doing a proper job) when there are Americans out of work.

Bottom line: I won't wear the sunglasses

wavegood morning gang. Good luck and big wins in the funny farm todayhug
Quote from cwhetme :
Most things I dont mind getting generic but will never skimp on TP, laundry soap or Dawn dish soap!! Charmin more than pays for itself because you dont have to use as much, same with Tide and nothing works better than Dawn. Its the one dish soap that didnt water down their formula.
These are also my favorite products!
thanks Goldie
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
very nice win! congrats!!!!!

I haven't seen this posted yet on SD, but it's a $1,200 cash prize at:

Appears to be a one entry, but I'll try again tomorrow just to be certain.
thanks she
Quote from figarotigger :
Woohoo! Nice wins and a great win for Vegas! The cash is always welcome plus the grill is really something nice. My Mom's neighbors bought an Egg grill last year and have been sharing the meat they fix at neighborhood parties. It really seems to make a difference (although the neighbors really take cooking seriously-they're working on a book).

Thanks to Boyd again for the FX movie ticket sweeps-rec'd an e-mail that I won a pair of $13 movie tickets from the drawing before the one that ended yesterday.

Rec'd the Langers free juice coupon from the 200 daily FB multiple day giveaway last week and rec'd the Challenge Butter win coupon today. If I win a 3rd juice in the sweeps that just ended, I'll have to get all 3 and mail in for a free movie ticket by the 15th. Otherwise, the coupons expire on March 31, 2013, so I'll wait to buy them.

Good Luck to all!
thanks and congrats

Mine is like this only blue. I like it. Only the letters light up and its easy to use with the lights out!
