December 21st I will be hosting the official Get Together for all the Pollocks in MN.

Rick has asked that I do a book signing as well. So please bring a book if you choose to attend.

I will be finishing up my drive to Poland that morning, and (as many of you with a family know) that will be akin to escaping an asylum once I arrive. This means the beer will be-a-'flowin'. I prefer not to pay when I drink a lot so please bring cash.

If you have any specific questions about the get together, post them here and I will do my best to answer them.

Also, if you plan on attending, please post that information here so we can all plan accordingly.



Travis

In.

For the record, by buying you beer, I am NOT soliciting any return "favors."

I'm there.

Don't start without me...

Maybe next year,,, I've still got the ankle bracelet.

Just wear a floor length gown rather than a short cocktail dress, and I swear no one will notice....

Will there be pierogies...or is that more a Hungarian thing?

Halupkies.

Polish sausage!

Pictures of dead elk???

I'd show.

Now that's funny, I don't care who you are!!!!!

Now there is three.

Bump for the other Pollocks just waking up.



Travis

Will your hero Jay Cutler be there?

It's not a gay bar.




Travis

But you're still invited.




Travis

OK, I might lead the Scandinavian contingent there.

But, I thought you were gay. Thats why you go to that bar.

I went through that area last year and many of the Quick Stop signs were in Arabic......Somalis all over.....

Suggest ya all go 150 miles North and enjoy a Grain Belt and some lutefisk; shoot a wolf and pay some taxes.

Nothing gay about Sgt. Rice.

I suggest you detach your vagina and make an effort to arrive without a DUI.



Travis

Vern,

Lots of sense in your suggestion. However you fail to recognize that even the worse American, trumps anything from Canaduh.

MN is chock full of entertainment. Join us if you can.



Travis

Ok, are we going to play the match the caliber to the right gun again this year?

You can say all the mean things you'd like.

It won't change the fact you live in Poland.



Travis

I'll bring my copy of Born To Hunt down for the signing. Maybe you can take it back to MT and get Shrapnel to sign it also.

golabki or it didn't happen.

Fortunately I'll be here in Korea.

If shrapnel signs it, you'll be able to retire.



Travis

You'll be missed.

Bump.



Dave

I will be there. I'm not much on drinking, but I will find a book. Why isn't this being done at Mayslacks?

I would come along, but I've not been invited. And I don't know if Poland would honor my passport.

I'm going to do my damndest to be there. BUSY time at work for me

You mean the Stool Capital of the World?

I will come visit you instead... I know the food will be better!

Does Hustler qualify as a book?

"Hangover" Part Cuatro!

Hey, at a VFW I have a shot at a free drink since I am a life member elsewhere.

Oh, and bump

Gee If I still lived in St Michael, I'd definitely be there... but you're 20 years too late...

but this post is good for a late evening bump...

Me either.

See you there.



Travis

That sucks.



Travis

You mean you need to be invited? I wouldn't go anywhere if that were the case...

This is what I look like. Although I doubt I'll be wearing camo pants.

Bump.

Huh I was just in Ham Lake, MN a couple weeks ago. And my sister lives south of there in Jordan.

But I'll probably be hunting, here

I would prefer female invitations be kept to a minimum. I don't want this book signing to get too out of control.

I gave up hunting, but good luck to you.



Travis

Was shrapnel the photographer on this elk hunt too?

Another picture. There are some people that think Travis can't shoot, don't kid yourselves. When he actually has the right ammo, he can hit stuff...

Shrap,

"When he actually has the right ammo, he can hit stuff..."
Those are the operative words. Plus it is a good thing he has you to chronicle some of his success through pics. Me thinks you should accompany him when he visits all his Pollack relys here in Minne. That way there will be a documentation of his escapades.

That was a bird hunt.

See all the birds?



Travis

I still can't believe that was caught by the camera.



Travis

Shrap doesn't have time for such nonsense. Bunny season is upon us.



Travis

Huh...that sux, I got MY invite last week....

Ooof da, I can't WAIT for the lefsa!!

I'm in

I have to tell them the same thing.

See you there.




Travis

No,
but I don't see the half rack either and I know it's there.



P.S. I'll check my schedule.

I hope it's clear.

I can't quit you.




Travis

I can't go ..but I'll send down my polish chain saw to help with the evenings campfire

Was down at the open market on Sunday. Looked like quite a run on eel. Persimmons too. Gotta be something in it.

AND,if he is close enough.
Ive seen [bleep] killed with rocks at that range.

where we meeting,anyway? Blaine vfw? only 42.9 miles away.

JFC, fluffy!

Do I need to break out the crayons?



Travis

'scuse me fer asking specific questions.

Where are you at Fluffy?

farmington

Save the date, people.




Travis

For what?

what was the date,again?
we pollaccks have a hard time 'membering.

Damnit fluffy!

December 21st.




Travis

Please attend if at all possible.



Travis

New Mexico?

no

Oh yeah-I'm in-wouldn't miss it! Even if Deflave IS coming.

less than two weeks to go till 'flave -a -geddon.

Where is this at and at what time?

Blaine VFW whenever you can get there.

I can be there in an hour....or so.

I should be there around 1300 hours.




Travis

I am in high demand during these holidays SO I would suggest a big screen with a tribute to me!! I can even send some life size cut-outs!!

You're guaranteed to have a much larger turnout.

Even I can't drink for 1300 hours straight.

You da man!

Let's keep those vaginas thawed boys.

Only a couple weeks away.




Travis

I should be able to make it.

Will proxies gain entrance?

The Blaine VFW is only about 5 miles south of my house.

Only a polock spells polock ,"pollock"....

someone please post if the flave actually appears..I'm thinking he really don't exist

Geez you have no excuse, its about 5 hours South of mine.

I would love to but that is a couple hours away and I will prolly be shooting roosters. Wave when you go by Alexandria 'flave!

Good.

Pants optional.



Travis

What's a proxie?




Clark

See you there.




Dave

No invite?



Travis

He's real. And he's spectacular.



Travis

Dumdum............

A proxy is a cute little winged blonde hottie.













Oh, wait. That's a pixie. Nevermind.

Proxies are to be determined.

Sounds like pixies are a go.


Bump.



Travis

You will know I am there when you see the awesome mini-van pull up.

Are we watching the Vikings lose to the Dolphins?

I thought this was canceled, WTF?

We just told certain people it was canceled.

Hint.




Clark

The word is, Goalie is bringing 4321 with him.

In a shopping bag......

Nothing says "It wasn't him" like a mini-van. Good call.

As a Bears fan, watching the local team lose will help make me feel right at home.



Travis

I would love to. We could compare life member VFW cards at the bar.

I get uber points for joining up by my cabin in New York Mills instead of in the cities.

Corksucker

and you claim to be from MN?

You must be thinking of Wisconsin.....

a real old one from my days of living back there...

what do you call a guy that drinks a case of beer a day?

In Minnesota: An Alcoholic

In Wisconsin: A Patriot...

Yeah, they drink a little over the border.

Bumpity bump bump

Would love to be there but will be at the farm in sd chasing roosters. Have a great time!

Bump.

Just in case anyone here in MN was under a rock for the last few weeks.

bump.
the big day has arrived.

all you can eat wings,2-4 pm today.

I'm looking forward to Polish updates on the this thread.

Having met The Polly, Deflave, I suggest everyone in attendance restrict their wallet to a front pocket.
Have fun.

I don't think that will slow him down, maybe just motivate him!

Been snowing for over an hour in the south metro, probably have to cancel the event.

All you can eat wings before I play hockey. What could possible go wrong???

Anybody even hear from that Schiet Puppet yet? Is he even in the state?

He was supposed to be in Fargo last night, which would have been closer for me, but it still didn't work out. I was in grand forks yesterday.

Missed him by a little under a hundred miles. Dang.

they could run out of blue cheese?

WTF, nobody is able to post "as they lay" pics?

The police confiscated anything that might contain pics and video as evidence...

It's late enough somebody ought to be drunk by now......

Post Your Load.

er, I mean WTF is going on in Poland?

This Polish shindig go down, or has "December" Fools Day come four months early?

"What happens in Poland, stays in..."

Oh hell, nothing happens in Poland. Forget about it.

We talked about sausage and Travis left with the waitress.

Pics of the waitress later......

You mis-spelled waiter.

You guys do realize that Deflave was legally required by the state of Minnesota to perform acts of community service,

shoveling snow at the VFW was one of those requirments,

those here who unknowingly accepted his invite, were told to BYOS,

bring your own shovel.

Free wings my Ass..........

His sweater was fabulous.

[video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=KKy9IPN31gs[/video]

Goalie showed us his sausage, and Miles58 showed us the correct way to cut the sausage. Everyone be sure to ask Travis about the extra special gift he was given by Bucktail. Can you say "fuzzy wind chimes?"

Just to prove that one of us actually shot something beside the bull, Fluffy showed up with his wolf pelt.

"A good time was had by all."

Me and Big Dan met up with Flave at the Holiday Inn in Fargo last night. Big D is a member here but never posts because he's gay. He's embarrassed about that I guess...

Anyway, Travis is a lot of fun and we had a really good time. Those of you that take his posts seriously should really meet him in person.

List of names from left to right please?

Gruff,

You're next on the list to meet!

Don't get your hopes up. I look nothing like my avatar

Ain't that the fugging truth!

Bob

That sheekogoe black cocks sweater is pretty sweet. No nearly as sweet as the orange t shirt on the right though.

Goalie, Flave, Waitress, Fluffy, Me, Gophergunner. Miles58 had to leave early.

Flave has agreed to kill something in the bitching sweater and post hero shots of same.

He is probably killing it with the waitress....

neither does flave.

Absolutely. He told us he matched up with you guys. It's always a good time when some of us get together.

Is she a relative of yours?

Is Clark part of the Von Erich family? Cuz that's a hell of an Iron Claw he's sportin'. Sweet sweater though.

Merry Christmas Sparky!

Well chit...

Was a pleasure to meet everybody.

Things are going relatively well in Poland. I ate so many White Castle sliders last night, I almost schit my pants.

Wild game tonight. Wallet and liver are going to be strained.

Wish me luck.


Travis

I am guessing they must have a computer somewhere in Minnesota to post such news...

Six guys and that's it?????

I should have been there....

heck I guess they are more sociable in Arizona....

I think I managed to get 12-14 or so to show up when I arranged one down there....

of course the promise of I was buying the beer might have had something to do with that one...


Gee Trav, next time you want to impress a bunch of Campfire Guys, pick Arizona...better turn outs...

at least ya got to meet GopherGunner and Goalie... two guys on my gotta meet list...oh and Miles58 also...

Best seasonal Sig Line tho:

[quote=deflave I ate so many White Castle sliders last night, I almost schit my pants.




Travis [/quote]

it only takes one,thats why their called " sliders"

Remember when I stopped once and got my wife's little rodent a White Castle to eat... he sniffed it and turned his nose up at it...

Stopped at McDonalds and got him a Mac's Burger....

Then I broke them up into little pieces and mixed them together....

The dog sniffed each piece and pushed the White Castles out of the way with his nose and ate each one of the McDonald's pieces...

can't even fool a dog with White Castles...

Blackhawks sweater was not lost on me.

Nice touch Clark!!!

Merry Christmas to all!

twofish

First off...

Don't feed dogs our food.

Second...

Any dog that won't eat WC, gets shot. Immediately.



Clark

I can't walk past a mirror in that sweater.

Unless I have a few seconds to spare.



Travis

Would a Mad magazine count as a book?

Wear a Northstars sweater.

That wild crap is bullshit. A hockey team named after rice?

We don't need 12 guys to collectively read the beer menu, and we don't need pictures to order............

I can't imagine why it wouldn't.




Travis

Wild what?

Wolf?

Bear?

Oxygen?

Trees?

People (that happen to love non-wild regulations?)

Nobody really knows. But I will say they have a nice stadium and it was one of the most cordial hockey games I've ever attended.



Clark

AZ is a bad ass place.

(that's a joke)



Travis

No one goes to a hockey game for civility...

I thought about you while drinking free beer in the alumni room while the Wild were coming back twice in the 3rd, then losing in OT to the Jets.

Next time go to a game I am going to.

and you refer to Minnesota as Poland?

must refer to AZ as "New" Mexico?

wait a minute? there is one of those down that way already...

Arizona must be "the Real NEW New Mexico"....

comprende?

Have the authorities released any more forensics or info on her whereabouts?

It can't be too bad azz-you have to be at least 70 years old to obtain residency.......

Good luck finding these in Mexico:





Clark

all the donkeys down there got 'em....sheesh

But they don't taste nearly as good.





Travis

I wouldn't know.....

Sherp the Twerp Would tho...

Prude.




Clark
