He has tricked you into giving your answer, because the Marlboro contest is not over yet. My problem is, I still don't have an answer. Your answer is very good for the information you were provided. But you didn't get the entire clue, you only got most of it from what people were typing in on the search engine. So I figure you knew about the North Platte canteen off the top of your head, you may be able to figure out the real answer and give us a new clue. So here goes: Pick up First, and find this Penny in the Park by trusting the lonely rails. (Notice First, Penny and Park are capitalized.) The main part you didn't know was that on our answer sheets it says "Give us the name of the penny" . Your answer didn't give the name of the penny, and Pick up First didn't seem to fit. The contest is about the western USA Mark,

Truer words have never been written. If it’s that funny, it’ll show up on YouTube eventually.

No matter how far the art of TV advances, it's still not better than books. It's just more convenient. RUTS: We can actually get about ten channels on our powered indoor rabbit ears. If we had an outdoor antenna with a signal booster (like I had in Nebraska) I'm sure we could get all the Chicago channels too. But I've come to find that no matter how many or how few channels you have, there's never anything on. Damon: Sure. The Lincoln County Historical Museum in North Platte, Nebraska. Contains information about the North Platte Canteen, which served over 6 million servicemen during World War II. But now the rails are lonely because nobody stops there anymore The canteen is long closed, of course. Now only freight trains pass through town, and even automobiles don't have to stop for them any more, since all the railroad crossings in town have been grade-separated. Henry Hill, the mobster on whom the movie GoodFellas was based, is believed to live in North Platte. The "non-native fruit tree" is a reference to Cherry County, Nebraska, which Lincoln County is south of ("under"). Steve: That’s the real problem, isn’t it?

I got three or four channels through a very poor antenna. It wasn't so bad. While I currently have digital cable, there was a time not too long ago where I didn’t even think basic cable was worth it.

I watched a *lot* of TV at first (side effect of unemployment), but now I don't think I'd hurt if I didn't have it again, especially considering that the only two shows that are indispensible to Life as I Live It (The Daily Show and the Colbert Report) can be downloaded from iTunes. Besides, I have so many books I want to read... Before I moved to Portland last year, I had had cable for only one of the previous ten years.
