Thought process, none. I usually don’t worry about my punctuation.
As for correcting myself, I now feel like an idiot because I can’t think of how I’d do it.
Glad you noticed! :smack: (this is now the 3rd time I’ve smacked myself in this thread. Ooh Ra!)
I won 200 dollars from a Mountain Dew twist off cap two years ago. 
Take that ya fucking sore losers.
SLightly off topic, do all McD’s in Honolulu serve the fresh Pineapple with there Meal deals or is just the ones in the Tourist areas. That was such a pleasent suprise when I was there 2 years ago.
No, really. McDonald’s Monopoly is a ploy to increase business at restaurants where sales are down; they do this by sending the “good” pieces to those restaurants. Except for the one game that existed solely to act as a sting operation in order to net those who had been stealing 'em.
If you say it twice, is that supposed to make it twice as believable? Because I don’t think it’s working.
How do they know which are the good pieces? Are the cups/wrappers marked? And how can we find out which restaurants aren’t doing as well so we can throw some business their way?
Simon Marketing, which distributes the pieces, does. That’s how Jerome Jacobson was able to reroute winning pieces.
I bought some “pink” Pepsi last week. After I finished the last bottle, I looked at the wrapper to see how the donation would work. Apparently, Pepsi donates 25 cents for every wrapper mailed in. This means that I would have to pay at least 41 cents (for the stamp, assuming it wasn’t so heavy it costs more) to get Pepsi to make a 25 cent donation. Who comes up with this stuff?
Pink Pepsi! Brought to you by Pepsi and the United States Postal Service.
I won the trip to Disneyland the second or third year, back in the early 90s. It was legit then, at least.
It was really nice, too.
I was living in Grand Rapids, Michigan at the time. Got the winning pieces, called the store, they gave me a 1800 number, called McDonald’s headquarters, they had me send them the pieces in an insured overnight envelope, guy called me back the next day and congrats. Easy as that.
We went over a variety of dates and I picked the ones I wanted, filled out some forms and sent them back (permission to use my name and image in future advertising, they weren’t responsible if anything horrible happened, standard stuff like that), then I did four days in Disneyland with my friend (who was with me when I bought the Diet Coke I got the ticket off of, and since she also had a Diet Coke it could just as easily have been her, so we decided we’d both go), we did a few promotional photos and had a good time.
Nice, nice hotel, nice trip, all I paid for was souveniers and one meal…breakfast? dinner? I can’t remember now (we paid for alcohol, oh yes we did…) Someone met us there from McDonald’s and arranged for a time to take the pictures, someone called us every day we were there to make sure we were having a good time, it was really a very good experience.
Anyway, it was heaps of fun.
Cheers,

Presumably, you would mail in more than one wrapper at a time.
No meals that I have ordered… I’m not even sure if they still have pineapple juice, actually. I’ll go there this morning and look. I’ll let you know what I come by.
Well no wonder nobody wins - some fool over there is throwing all the winning tickets away! 
I won a skateboard from a Paddle Pop Lick-A-Prize competition once.
No actual paddling of anyone’s pop necessary.
That helps but you are still just mailing trash to Pepsi. Pepsi already has a pretty good idea of how many pink Pepsi’s sold.
(from IMHO)
So this is where reading some books could help. That non-paragraph rant you wrote was atrocious.
Well, heck. . . it sure couldn’t hurt.
There is more than enough reading material here to keep me busy.
Err, you’re learning how to write from a message board?
You might want to watch out for certain posters who may not be the best to emulate.
I sick of ralph124c and his stupidity.
People say there are a few in the linked thread.
I’m hoping by “here”, you meant the message board and not this thread.
The message board. I cannot rely on you being the only person who can offer me advice. I have many other flaws you may not recognize.
Did this thread just engage in non-homologous recombination?
