This is the new MCR contests/giveaways thread. There are going to be a few new rules starting with this iteration of the thread. Nothing too drastic, I hope, and I hope that this helps to alleviate some of the concerns that have been expressed by quite a few users. We're not etched in stone here, and we can adapt as necessary, but I think this will be a good start.
First and foremost, as you can see this thread is now in the Lounge. Click here to stick this thread to the top. To unstick it, simply click on the 'Thread Tools' link in the upper right of this thread, and select the option to unstick the thread.
Now, on to the rules:

First and foremost, as you can see this thread is now in the Lounge. Click here to stick this thread to the top. To unstick it, simply click on the 'Thread Tools' link in the upper right of this thread, and select the option to unstick the thread.
Now, on to the rules:
1). While off topic posts will be allowed, please try to keep conversations related to the MCR program. This is the Lounge, and there are plenty of places for all kinds of off topic posts.Rules are subject to change with or without notice, on a whim, or with discussion.
2). The Barter Thread is still in Deal Talk. For trading MCR codes with any other codes (either MCR or TYS or otherwise), please confine trades to the appropriate thread. This is not so much to keep this thread clean as to provide a place where feedback of users who have traded and bartering info/partners can be found more easily. That kind of info can easily be lost in this fast paced thread, especially once an iteration or two have gone by.
3). The strictly on-topic MCR Discussion Thread will remain in Deal Talk for the time being.
4). Due to server loading issues, once the thread reaches 10,000 posts it will be restarted with this OP and the thread Wiki. A link to the new thread will be in the last post of this thread so that you can still visit it for archival purposes.
5). In an effort to cut down on what has been identified as the most irritating of contests, for the time being there will be a moratorium on the "guess" type contests. Contests that involve some kind of skill or researching are fine, but contests that are purely speculative in nature will not be allowed for the time being. A couple examples include "Guess what I had for lunch today," or "Guess the year make and model of my first car."
6). Have fun. Seriously. If this thread wasn't fun, it wouldn't be so popular. So have fun.

My Coke Rewards (MCR) FAQ:
- How can I contact them?
Trading Etiquette 101
- Why do people trade caps for flaps?
Big List of Smilies (looks like people use it a lot in the thread)
why trade caps for flaps and vice versa?
Some people can only enter in a few codes a day (some even less), so it makes sense for them to trade away their flaps so that they'll maximize their... umm... pointage (15 points in caps is better than a single 10-point flap).
For the other people, who have caps to spare and can enter in 10 caps a day every day, it makes sense to them to, again, maximize their pointage, by entering in 10-point flaps instead of 3-point caps.
If the trade ratio isn't too one-sided, both parties benefit greatly from trading this way.

Ask Hank feature on the MCR site -- several are reporting errors when trying to use this function: If you receive an error, edit your email, and remove all question marks, quotation marks, semicolons, colons, and symbols, basically anything that is not a letter, number, period, or comma. (I didn't say it makes sense, but strangely, I have had much success after doing this.)- When does the promotion end?

Little known fact (only verified for 15-digit codes): MCR Code consists of 3 groups of 5 symbols (obvious.) Name these groups A (Top Group), B (Center Group) and C (Bottom Group.) These groups can be entered ABC (which is what people usually do,) or CBA. The other four combinations (ACB, BAC, BCA, CAB) do not work and will come up as invalid.- Is there a faster way to enter codes?
Try the Yahoo! MCR Code Widget. Find the widget download by clicking on the "take a tour" link on the MCR homepage and then in the lower left corner look for "Quick Entry Widget" or try this link...Yahoo! MCR Code Entry WidgetMCR for MCR trades: Users who trade their caps for your flaps (usually 5:1 rate)
Trading Etiquette 101
- Why do people trade caps for flaps?
Maximum of 10 codes can be entered per day staring at noon EST. Those with an abundance of caps (worth 3 points) trade for flaps (worth 10 points) so they can get 100 points a day as opposed to 30.
(Trade at your own risk. Please PM them if you'd like to trade)

Coke Phase II Songs from cnct_agl]
A "sad song" for VG
oops they did it again
Coke is so "bad to the bone"
and the songs began again with "Chain Gang" by the Nylons
One last song to round out my fatigue inspired Coke songs based on: "I'd like to buy the World a Coke"
Coke, "I ain't missing you"
The Coke song insanity continued today with "Home"
and "we are the champions"
last night's insanity ended with a little "desire"
if you think that's crazy, check out "crazy"
and don't miss "satisfaction" - after all, mick and "Coke" do kinda go together
plus the sleep deprived hit that started it all "wishing and hoping"

Awww, he is cute! and FAT!
Do you name any of the animals that come to your yard? I call one of my chipmunks Skippy
Not not big on animal names. I probably wouldn't have given my groundhog a name. Wife gave it one so I just started calling that. My friends on Facebook are all people that had or have groundhogs as pets. It is somewhat hard to tell a male from a female groundhog. So some people had what they thought was a male and it turned out to be a female and they gave it a new name. I wouldn't do that. If Fred is a girl, so be it. LOL

Fred= Freddie or Fredericka, so either way is kosher!
Ah, seems that sexing them is difficult. From the picture, it seems similar to trying to sex a hamster, guinea or other small animal. It is a frequent occurence in pet shops to see males and females mixed together because the employees are not trained properly in how to do it.
"Thanks for reaching out - we are happy to help. Unfortunately, ........"
I live in a subtropical environment. I have seen deer, rabbits, bears, snakes, and about everything else. I had two large adolescent "cats" run out in front of me the other day. I think they may have been adolescent panthers. I missed the first one but hit the second one. I thought I had killed it but it was still up and ran off into the woods. Maybe I straddled it. I hope so. I called the Sheriff's office and they were looking for it. Panthers are a protected species. I am going to try to attach some jpegs of some the other visitors I have had at work. They are from the alley outside of my office window....yes it is a baby gator. If I can post the others, that is mama gator by the retention pond in back of the building sunning herself. I also walked out to the sidewalk and found a Burmese Python in my bushes as well as a big black snake. I see all sorts of things here.
Rabbits, and deer and bears, oh my!
That is hilarious!
I think we are twins
