Is today the day he debuts his latest 4/1 lark? Never can tell with that one!!!

he hasn't been on since 3/18

... thought he was in Europe or some such tomfoolery...

A monastery, is what I heard

sex change, no doubt.

This is actually true.

This isn't a joke by Travis...

Is it one where the monks make beer and wine?

I've wanted to hit one of those myself.

I'm pretty sure it's the fruitcake making monks

Shrap,

In all seriousness, is he all right?

I hope he didn't get bigsqueezed.

I hope he's okay…………wait, I meant I hope he returns "as he were" soon.

?Seriousness? C'mon - you've seen his posts. You know he's not all right.

I am serious. Shrapnel's post sounded ominous. I'm hoping all is well with Travis.

I've have known Travis and his family for twelve years and I can assure you there's nothing funny about this thread.

Steelhead's post came the closest, so far.

I'm sure Travis would be properly sensitive if this post was about someone else.

I've been staying out of this, for reasons I'm not going into right now. But TheWarrior is spot on, it's not funny.

I can understand the leap to tomfoolery given the fact we're talking about Travis, but trust me you guys should take a breath and focus on other things for now.

Jason

GOOD!

Thanks BGG and Warrior.

Focus on the date and past history on this date.

Hope all is well with Mr. Flave, let us know.

I knew it, Belize, human trafficking.

Yow!

No kidding, just think about all the things that have been said previous to today, by 'Flave especially apparently, but also by a bunch of the rest. We are being watched. Gotta be careful out there/here. I hope they don't treat him so bad that he narcs on us.






















































……….. whatever!

Hope all is well with him.

Well, sure....we all do.

He's an American Treasure. Like Oprah.

Is he hangin' with Bruce again?

oof!

did someone say "woof"?

Yes, he's gone transjenner!

I believe that's oof-da!

Good'n, eh?

You must be Canadian? You sure can't spell Norwegian…….uff da, eh!

Nope, I can't spell Norveg, norgweg, norweig, Swedish!

OK, now I'm officially concerned. Send Trav my best, whatever he's up to.

Hard to get all serious about the guy from Montana. Like the little boy that cried wolf. And as one poster pointed out, I'm sure Travis would be so sensitive if the posts were about someone else!

Since those complicit are intentionally evasive, what can we conclude?

Travis undercover in some matter of national security?

Arrested?

Sick relative?

Kid ran away? Kidnapped?

Remington 700 blew up on him?

Wolves got him?

Disappeared while traversing hostile terrain?

Recruited by AQ?

I guess at some point we will learn in whom we can trust and who the bullshit artists are..

Just as I told Ken Howell when he posted his obituary... Not funny!

g

+1

I don't know if Travis is sensitive or not...but he is a good sport. I count him as a friend and campfire brother. Where ever he is and what ever he is doing I'm praying God's protection and speed of his return. powdr

+ 1

Let's just hope he doesn't come out shooting a 270.

Will he be allowed to shoot anymore when he comes out?

With Bruce Jenner at some clinic???

Travistina.

I bet Travis will come back on my birthday.

When I finally went to spin dry a few years back it was a 3 week deal.




Didn't work either.

Did the Bears cut Cutler?

That could explain everything.

I've concluded that they're showing a little class by not giving details about matters that aren't theirs to talk about.

And "complicit" makes implications I'm not sure you've thought through.

This^^^. Im praying all will be ok.

Damn Dave that's gotta be the longest Birthday I've ever seen, Presents every day?

We're all 'complicit' here, who have contributed to this thread.
Some have expressed humor.
Some have expressed curiosity.
Some have expressed - back off.

Any of the comments I have seen posted here, I can't imagine would be of any real concern to Travis, or even unexpected -
as compared to his own style of expressing himself - even in rather distressing situations at times for others.
In either case, I believe no malice is ever intended.

Whatever is going on regarding Travis is not my business, but I do hope and pray that all will be well.

'zackly

I hope for a safe return,I miss his humor.

So does anybody truly know anything? Jokes aside I hope all is okay with he and his family.

twofish

His PM's are maxed out too. Hope he is ok.

He's not back yet so, its still my birthday.

I kinda thought that flave would make an appearance on the Fire today. LOL.

I miss his humor.

Been away.. Hope Travis is back soon with all his humor.

If he really did go to treatment he might not be as funny when he gets out.

Not to pick on Flave but dry drunks aren't exactly fun to be around for any length of time.


And it's none of my business either way, Lord knows we all need a helping hand at some point in our lives.

Yeah, if I didn't have a strict wife, I would have self-destructed.

Whatever he is doing, I hope it gets straightened out. He has my support for doing it. And my prayers that things will be OK for him afterwards.

Keep the candle burning.

I just hope they parole him rather then leave him sweltering in some halfway house where the internet will be slow- or absent altogether.

Godspeed if he's dealing with demons. That's only funny because it's not. It's got to be one of the worst problems a guy (or gal) can face, and no one is immune.

Whatever he's up to - I wish God's blessings on him and his!

Possible that absence of a 4/1 event and letting the anticipation build itself is the point?
Didn't he ask a while ago re spring break ideas re Disneyland for his kids?
Anyhow, he is an insightful and witty guy and I miss his posts.

He'll probably show up for my birthday........

Hey! Look at that, it's ND's birthday! Woohoo. Again.

what birf days you use up now they'll just take off the backend

meh... it's just days.

If 'Flave never makes it back, we will still have Clark and Dave.

Dear lord....I'd rather do a stint in rehab than suffer Disney during spring break.


Prayers sent.

Gotta wonder what happened to a man who routinely talked about [bleep] animals. Pretty depraved....maybe one kicked the chit out of him. Ironic the man has a big sheeple following.

Funny how some people take other people serious on the internet too...

There are a few types of people on here:

Those that take themselves entirely TOO SERIOUSLY and consequently take all others the same.

Those who don't take themselves and others too seriously. Some of these people employ a little hyperbole for entertainment's sake and some of those are pretty good at it to boot.

Pretty sure you belong in the first category.

Its my birthday.....

How many birthdays do you have each year?

I'm not sure yet, usually just the one.

I hope Travis comes back soon, I'm getting old as fock.

Hey look! It's ND's birthday! Woo. Hoo.

If I was you ND I'd be hanging out at the titty bar with all these birthdays. Usually good for at least one free dance and we know Flave would approve.

Suck it up man!

Is it still ND's birthday? Any news?

HBD again Dave.......and again.......and again......

Happy Bday Nort Dave!

Happy birthday Dave and thanks for lightening up a fairly serious and somewhat awkward conversation.

Is Dave older than Ingwe yet, or do we need to wait a few more months?

Dave was abducted by aliens.

I seen it. It come down and swoosh! he was sucked right on up in nere. An he uzz gone.

They throwed me back, fun found out how many berfdays and them gray heads just said oh hell no, and throwed me back.

It's like motel 6, we'll keep the light on.

Candle light.

Birthday candle light.....

laughing



I'm pretty sure Flave can't read this but if he can, hang in there bud, we are thinking about you.

Amen, praying too.

Amen, and happy birthday to Northern Dave. Is it still his birthday???

That explains a lot.

Now really isn't the time for low blows.

But since it's your birthday and I'm assuming you're drunk, free pass...

This is no time for drunkness, tomorrow morning when it's my birthday maybe. But not now, its too close to bedtime.

See how I mainstream media quoted you there?

Its all about the ratings.

Are you using a smartphone?

Oh yeah, this fone is smark as fock.

I was just trying to figure out how you main stream media quoted me.

Sigh.....

Its out of context, bro.

MSM style.

Its like..... The difference between "helping your uncle Jack, off his horse."

And

"Helping your uncle, jack off his horse."



That's what I meant, I snipped your quote which changed the context. I'm certain Travis can read. Otherwise he wouldn't be able to spell "Poland". Which is where I live.

haha



Now you are trying to insult Flave with the barnyard animal references.



And he's not even here to defend himself.

Class act Dave, way to go.

Oh, sorry.

I should have left my uncle Jack Hoff out of this.

Whatever the deal, wish him well Sam.

I'm politely exiting out of this thread.

Your buddy Flave has brought some of this on himself. I guess we all do from time to time.

Best wishes for a good outcome, you'd never find a finer guy to be insulted by. Getting a GFY is a rite of 24hr passage.

I'm not polish and flave don't care.. It hurts, ya know?

He's earned it! Every bit of it.

Still sandy?

Stop that getting old, phugger. You're making me feel old.

And.. me too.

Get it 'er done, Flave!

I remember well getting a GFY just after joining "The Fire". Not yet having been indoctrinated I responded by saying I hope that means "Good For You". I was informed immediately that I was wrong in my hoping that the acronym was thus but learned quickly it was all in good fun and even a term of endearment in some cases.

Flave has a quick wit and sense of humor in his persona here that is greatly enjoyed by many, myself included. I wish him well and hope to chuckle at his replies again soon.

twofish

Exactly twofish.. Well said.. Wish him the best..

He could have left Clark and Dave around to entertain us when he left on his mission.

He shouldn't have screwed with that security guard at the air and space museum in DC.

"Tacticool Hand Luke" was not his real name.
No matter how persistent Mr flave was, he would not autograph flave's foam cowboy hat "Got your six, bro. Tacticool Hand Luke"

He should have just let it go at that.

LOL

Hope Clark returns soon, all that Birfday cake is gonna make you a real phat ass.

Happy Birthday Dave. Again. This week. GFY
