I know at least one that didn't... Simple chitt really.

I'm a little freaked out because it looks like a skinny dude in there flashing open a trenchcoat.

Because of delays in responses, I'll assume in being even more fair, grown, intelligent men here, who I greatly respect,and who have raised families and helped loved ones who have endured this heart breaking dynamic sometime or many times in their lives somehow think there is something redeeming about this thread? Really?

Please tell me you just got caught up in the bullschit of some stupid-assed fun without thinking it through.


Travis,or whoever you are: I guess you were trying to F with me too or you began to realize you might have over-stepped your bounds for a day...or a month, whatever is the truth now. Anyways, here's the response that was awaiting what you've been ignoring,

Really, man?

Some folks might really need the help and hope they can possibly find inside the vast amount of trusted BTDT experiences inside our membership. Now, they might be afraid to ask for fear of being ridiculed.

A month long April Fool's joke about despair? You must think everyone you speak to doesn't have any more brains than the several handfuls who believe this is funny rather than pathetic.

Tricking trusting and compassionate folks is easy and takes no superior skill set, at all. Kids do it to their parents all the time. All you'd need to pull it off are trusting and compassionate people who believe you're a person who is hurting, in need of help and is deserving of that help.

Which of the two would you want teaching your kids?

You're a good man and I enjoy your contributions; always have.You're deservedly respected.You also might have made someone who was inspired by your initial thread pick up that drink again.

Do they GFY or do you?


F***k the politics and all our other battles. We know we'll sort that out because we have to and we have no choice, as pawns in the game.

This is on us, though. It's not funny and it's not who we are and you know it. Instead of getting along, let's get it right.

The premise of this thread is wrong. Pathetically wrong. Let's own it and move on.

Shame on us, otherwise.

It just reinforced my opinion of how long and boring the winters in Montana must be.

Your best defense was that you a pitiful drunk.. that way things could be explained and pity could be had. But alas, you're just a run of the mill, dime a dozen idiot.

Hat's off Travis, you got me worked up, I'll give you that. Nice work.

Fireball,

There you have it. A witnessed account that you lived in Deflave's head rent free for over a year.

We should all be so blessed.

I'm gonna just leave this here, if only because this whole thing is phugged up and it seemed liked a good place to leave it. The thread has gone to schit anyways. Carry on, discuss, go for a ride. Whatever.

Can I get my Christmas Card back Travis...

Fück Dave and Clark...

Nah, I'm not buying that at all. But Shrap, yeah, I got his number.

Be sure you remind them how much you "don't care."

LMFAO.



Travis

I'll just say this much.

Maybe it's all a put on,..maybe it ain't.

But if it is, it'll never get straightened out.

An internet post is like a diamond. It's forever. And just because you say "haha nevermind" somewhere down the line doesn't erase it.

Seems like I have always enjoyed April Fool jokes and pranks – making them and being the brunt as well – and figure that won't change. Sure hope not. Usually these are enjoyed, even congratulated, and soon forgotten. The one here leaves a peculiar odor.

Some good reminders within the experience:

there are many good-hearted folks around the Campfire who will rise and try to help others seen to be in need – even others whose usual behaviors are distasteful and not trustworthy much of the time;

those who are played for the fool and are yet graceful upon being the brunt of a poor prank usually demonstrate much more class than the snickering quasi-elite who run the scam;

all among us can encounter deceitful people almost every day and under almost any circumstances, and we can do well to measure ourselves by how we continue to deal with that reality;

if we use the internet for interaction with others, we create an indelible record while sometimes communicating with and exposing ourselves to types of people with whom we would not likely associate in person;

it seems fruitless to call people names or disparage them personally in this venue – no personal accountability is required – and often not assumed - on either end;

in all areas of life, humans form cliques and “in groups” in efforts to set themselves above and beyond others, and often try to apply some perceived power or status they presume to have gained in the process – it has been observed that doing so helps them fill some void in their lives.

This probably was a harmless April Fool prank – maybe useless too unless one was reminded of something – and even if that something has a peculiar odor.
