Come on guys, this is a disabled vet!!!

Lets go for at least a Zeiss Conquest.

Safariman, if you'll collect the $$$, I'll open with a pledge of $25.00

Lets get this done tonight...

You guys never cease to amaze me! Good for all of you!

Excellent endeavor,Safariman!! The 24 comes through.

Next week, try your hand at a trophy fee donations for aging lawyer going to Africa for first time thread,if you will.

What is the trophy fee for an aging lawyer? How do you score them? High fence?

I am sure we could find someone to kick in.

To all who have offered help and goodies including cash. I am weighing how and if too accept any of this because of what I know of this mans pride as well as his privacy. While the offers are WAAAAYYYY cool, if I show up with too much and he knew of this thread it would turn a good thing into bad really quickly. Might be OK to have some Ammo, an extra BAR magazine/clip, maybe the sling but I am trying to bless and honor my friend, not make him feel like a charity case. Working this out in my own peabrain, will get back with all of you. MAny thanks to all of you regardless. MARK

Don't think of a charity, think of it as an honor to a man 40 years to late! God bless him!

I have two leupold's. A 4x and a 2X7. Also let me know if I can help in any way

Mark;

Let me know if there's anything else needed. I might just have... "whatever"... in the inventory.

I would be more than happy to assist in whichever direction you decide to take this.

Does he like BBQ?

Good thing you're doing for sure.

Claiborne (Safariman) needs a stiff kidney punch if any of the proceeds from this OLD thread lined his pocket.

Actually, it's a perfect example why he still operates here.

It's full of the ignorant and complete suckers..

Some friends and I are helping a 100% disabled Viet Nam Vet get into a low recoil CF rifle to hunt deer with on his home place. Becasue his home state requires a caliber of 24 as a minimum and because of his injuries precluding any recoil we have obtained a Browning Semi Automatic (BAR)in 243. Should be pretty soft shooting. I hope to deliver his new rifle to him when I see him on about the 18th, but the supply of inexpensive used variable scopes over in classified seems to have temporarily dried up and the project has gone a bit over budget already when we saw the Browning BAR 243 and decided that our friend had to have it so we are in the hunt for something in the 3x-9x range of decent quality. Above Tasco/Simmons/BSA and Bubblepack Bushnell but not expecting anyone to give away a Nightforce or sell it to us for $100.00! Can spend SOME money, have some trade bait, particulary if one likes Barnes Bullets to put into a deal.

Let me know what you have, not asking neccesarily for a freebie as there is a bit of money available for a good deal on a low end Nikon or Vortex etc which would be fine for this guy.

PTSD afflicted and injured friend is adverse to any publicity so no names or pictures will be provided, unfortunately. If someone thinks I am snowing or scamming for a scope for myself then don't bother to reply here but I hope most here know that I have plenty of high end scopes and rifles of my own, and plenty enough to not stoop to such a post for my own benefit.

Thaks for looking and thinking of this, All the best as always,

MARK

Actually, it's a perfect example why he still operates here.

It's full of the ignorant and complete suckers..

Interestingly he has donated bullets and such plus postage free of charge for friends projects in the past.

I asked, he didn't want a dime. Or penny.

I can't say I"ve ever had a bad experience wiht him.

FWIW.

Of course not.. He's such a good Christian.

What are you?

What are you?

Sounds like you're comfortable with it.

Getting a roof over your head for that is lower than being a cheap whore.

Sounds like you're comfortable with it.

Getting a roof over your head for that is lower than being a cheap whore.

You don't know me Rauncho. I had a roof over my head for 40 years before Mark was in the picture. You are clueless about who I am, and playing the role of a coward by calling me worse than a cheap whore behind your keyboard. Keep up your cheap shots. Get all that hatred out of your system before it kills you.

Thats a pretty cheap and lowlife shot. Asses assume. What are you doing? Sounds like youre calling out a female, and for all you and evidence know, a lady.

This is a new low for the Fire in my opinion. Chitt smells and your post does, poco loco.

No worries, Jeff. .. I know Jim personally [the vet]. He is a great friend. He and Mark go way back. There is no way he would try and take advantage of Jim, or take something that was meant for Jim. Pure BS..

I'm saved! God loves me and so does the campfire.

I'm off to go con old people. Keep praying for me.

Ouch, my kidneys hurt!

I'll be happily called no class if it means I don't tolerate con men and liars, especially those that take advantage of the elderly.

Then dig up the nuts to discuss it with him.

People change raunchy, unfortnately, except for you.

Where's that fuggin popcorn eating antelope?

I actually do know you.

You attack a woman on the fire and lowrate her becausr you have issues with her husband.

I would not be in thid except i am 65 years old and have nevrr seen anything this gutless or spineless on an internet forum.

Put your linebacker on.

I've always loved that one.

DF

Where's that fuggin popcorn eating antelope?

Your kind, sweetie.

Comr on poco pendejo, call her out to a fist fight. Make yor woman proud.

Hey, lets all kick a woman if we have a difference with her spouse. I cant believe this from someone with your class, Kamo. Why not go and call Mark out?

I think somebody set fire to it and dropped it off a bridge ?

......oh, sorry, wrong thread.

....on this one it was sold as new, in a small shipping pen.

GTC

Does it pisd you off AA stands behind her man? Put your better half on to defend your chitt.

having met the woman, she isnt stupid.....and if she isnt stupid she isin on/apart of his scams and as guilty as him.....she defends his actiona and has financially benifited from his scamming people....she claims to love the elderly but has no problem that her husband was scamming them......she is a big girl and deserves what she gets, she made her bed and has to lie in it

They're in it together in case you haven't figured that out by now.



Travis

Sheridan,
You are a nice guy and have some great knowledge on various topics, but you are way off base today.

You attack a woman on the fire and lowrate her becausr you have issues with her husband.

You're going to need a good shovel oh Wise one.

I didn't attack her. I offered that her defending--or attempting to, rather--the indefensible and despicable is ridiculous, and to some makes her complicit. Were she a Godly woman, wouldn't she have made her first priority getting her husband some help or at least considered suggesting to him that the jig was up with him on this forum, and to maybe come clean or at least dispense with the lies and hustles? Any attempts to try to assuage any semblance of wrongdoing just takes away from any last shreds of dignity and honor associated with his name. I'm not a religious man, so your bible references don't compute, friend, but in my book shytbirdedness isn't something peculiar to gender, and frankly, class has little to do with it. Anyone posting here ought to accept that any words offered are subject to a response, with some that they just might not appreciate or like. Nature of the beast.

Don't even bother.

Anybody that can't see her and her husband for what they are, are too blind to be convinced anyway.



Clark

Safariman Claiborne is a liar and a con and has made money by taking advantage of the elderly.

Wake up and smell the coffee.

AA,
Maybe just answer some of the questions instead of saying folks are way off......
Why else would you show here?
Mark won't.

only other answer is your stupid and oblivious to whats going on around you...for fug sake Sean sent him running threatening to produce evidence.....scared the chit out of him....so obviously Sean isnt lying.....he is a crook, and you are either stupid and oblivious and defending a crook or in on it and one yourself....there are no other options....

Really?
You want me to list them out again?
I can but don't want to waste my time if they aren't going answered.......again.

Good luck, lady.
You just dodged Rattler and come back to me with "Backroads?"

You are painting yourself as the perfect match to your mate.

The gig is up.

Have we got it all wrong then?

The series of events are not that simple, but go ahead and run with that.

ding ding ding.

No,
You are just dodging......

? Aren't hard to cipher.......

Nice try.

There she goes again. 'No one understands the real truth and I ain't sayin' nuttin' more 'bout it but he's just being unfairly treated and it's all just a misunderstanding! Mark's the VICTIM in all this!'

Stop being coy, now. How about a hint at the baffling but true (I swear!) mitigating circumstances that might shed some light on the whole SM mystique? Let me guess: it has sumptin' to do wif aliens, am I right?

Wrong. I have never said Mark is a victim.

Whatever.



So you know he asked a question?
How could you know?
You are so confused by what question, any question.....did someone ask me a question?

Yet, you "know" Backroads asked you a question......
Strange. Isn't it?

Q: Can anybody explain why beans fire out of chili so violently, when you're warming em' in a microwave ?

Did not work out to well did it, you seem to be pulling a Mark, and not facing up to your posts about the game that your team lost.

Kinda like popcorn, cross? Moisture inside the bean is heated by the microwave and the pressure gets too high and explodes?

Micro waves cause the interior of the bean to heat and expand until the skin has to let the fart violently out of the bean.

Wrong. I have never said Mark is a victim.

actually you are, either it was his fault he fugged over people or it wasnt, if it wasnt your claiming he is some sort of victim in all this and its not his fault.....this chit isnt that difficult.....explain it if we have it wrong....

Backroads?

Apparently, you have difficulty in counting. I can't help you with that.

Micro waves cause the interior of the bean to heat and expand until the skin has to let the fart violently out of the bean.

Again, I have not said Mark is a victim. You live in a very black and white world, Sheridan.

Holy smokes, look who appears, how them hawks doing?
Any apologies yet?

Dynasty, book it!
Did not work out to well did it, you seem to be pulling a Mark, and not facing up to your posts about the game that your team lost.

Like the gangster moms always say, "he was providing for his family", as if criminal activity is somehow justified when it is done to "provide" for the criminal's family. It appears that Safari cheated the elderly to help provided for Asphalt, so Asphalt directly benefited from his reprehensible actions. Lots of wives know exactly what their husbands are doing and just look the other way.

I asked you what you were talking about when you claimed to "know" me, and this is your reply?

Your wife and I would get along great because I have great respect for elderly people. My parents taught me that one along time ago.

I hope you got a good shovel and a strong back because you are going to be digging up dirt until hell freezes over in order to find one shred of evidence that I have ever harmed an elderly person. What you will find will absolutely prove my point. Start digging!

...and be sure to ask Sean to help you. Attorneys are great at that.

The series of events are not that simple, but go ahead and run with that.

Asphaltangel, what is your take on all the controversy surrounding your husband?

Is he guilty of the insurance scam allegations that his licence was revoked over?

Did he actually receive a kidney transplant, then stay in a camper while rehabbing?

His character is in question.

Have we got it all wrong then?

Interestingly he has donated bullets and such plus postage free of charge for friends projects in the past.

I asked, he didn't want a dime. Or penny.

I can't say I"ve ever had a bad experience wiht him.

FWIW.

No, "Backroads" is another member who asked question..actually 2 different posts. So, I was asking you if that was the question you were referring to so I could respectfully answer. I think you are the one dodging here.

Safariman Claiborne is a liar and a con and has made money by taking advantage of the elderly.

Wake up and smell the coffee.

Sam this thread is 4 plus years old

Two words Jimmy Graham.......LOL Vegas has them win it again. BOOK IT'111

then why in the hell would some idiot resurrect the thread in the first place? It's like a freaking movie being re done after 20 years. The chit sucked the first time around. Geez

then why in the hell would some idiot resurrect the thread in the first place? It's like a freaking movie being re done after 20 years. The chit sucked the first time around. Geez

I actually deal with this stuff all time as the head of a ball association. I don't understand a lot of "charity" and "fund raising" stuff. By the time you get done donating not just your time, but gas and other stuff to get the fund raising done, you truly would be ahead to just give money or goods, whatever. I spend a lot of my own money on stuff simply because it's easier. Not to mention the fact that it eliminates having to beg people to get stuff done. Not being obligated to somebody for them having helped somebody or some thing at my behest is actually worth something to me. I think about this stuff a lot and still never come up with a viable answer.

At any rate, in this case, wouldn't a $40 scope be cheaper, in the end, than all the back-and-forth on the internet, emails, endless PM's and especially all the bad publicity for SM? It's astonishing actually.

I wonder if the Vet ever actually recieved the scope that was donated?

That, friend, is called an investment.

then why in the hell would some idiot resurrect the thread in the first place? It's like a freaking movie being re done after 20 years. The chit sucked the first time around. Geez

Clark

I just want to know how Cousin Vickie is doing.

Talk about getting the schidt end of the stick...

If it ever happened.

This is very sad. I thought byc and Vanimrod had rejoined the Fire. Crap.

Here's hoping they arr both doing well.

Safariman Mark Claiborne's character is not in question at all. In fact, his character is a well-defined quantity, well known to many, and needs to be known to anyone that frequents the Free Classifieds Forum.

The glory hole quartet?

I did not con anyone, every person got interest on thier money and it was safe. My error was not continuing to fight oregon DOI over what an 'appropriate' placement of an annuity was at the time I wrote the cases in question. No retirees were harmed and in fact they were materially helped. Your conning lie is getting pretty old, and is way wrong. Plus, this is not the place for that crap.

This is very sad. I thought byc and Vanimrod had rejoined the Fire. Crap.

Clark

If you guys think you're going to embarrass and shame Claiborne into leaving 24Hourcampfire, you're sadly mistaken.

Much like Larry Root, he's a sociopath and is incapable of feeling true shame and remorse.

The 'fire is a target rich environment for the likes of Claiborne. He's extremely adapt at manipulation, and cloaks himself in "Christianity" and utilizes his myriad medical conditions in his manipulation of the gullible to obtain what he wants.

While his wife Sherri/asphaltangle is very careful in how she answers and addresses questions (or rather, doesn't answer) is very telling.... she's just as complicit as her spouse.

She's not stupid nor blind. She's very well aware of Mark and his manipulations, and by not speaking up, standing up to him and demanding a change... or walking away, she's just as guilty as Claiborne.

Obviously for those unfortunate gullible souls wearing their emotions on their shirt sleeves, YMMV. I don't care, but do find some perverse humor in watching this sordid affair play out to its inevitable end...

Ummmm.


No easy way to do this

and looking back i am pretty sure he did attempt to phug over me at one point but changed his mind that he needed someone "in his corner"

so exactly what was he going to con you out of? A $39 walmart tent? Or the 5 gallon joint-compound bucket you use for a toilet?

And how's all all that working out for you? Have you moved up to sleeping in a Ford tempo yet?

This is very sad. I thought byc and Vanimrod had rejoined the Fire. Crap.

you're pretty fugging clueless.

No easy way to do this



4Ager=Vanimrod

you're pretty fugging clueless.

He's back at it again in the Mashburn thread in the classifieds forum.

HI everyone!

I said in my 'see ya'll a bit later' post that I would be checking and replying to PM's here a couple of times a day. Don't know why then that anyone would bet that I would not do so. And I have. We have another member who now needs a kidney transplant and he and I are visiting about that matter. And, I have a couple of trades that are finalizing and I need to stay in touch with the guys I owe stuff to and vice versa.

I have not read this whole thread, not going to. But a little bird told me that someone thought I had run off scared or some such. Nothing could be further from the truth. I am not afraid of any of you, here on the 'net nor in person.

Most may not believe this, and that is OK, but I do realize that I have made some real mistakes here and in my life. I truly am using the time that I am not here to do the soul searching that I said I would and asking THE great physician and the only one who can fix what ails me, for help in doing just that.

Sean, buddy, you are forgetting the many times that you saw me pray to begin a day of appointments that God would help me to be of a help and a blessing to all whom I came in contact with at the start of a business day. And the Bankers Life Magazine article where I stated and was quoted as telling others who wanted to be successful like I had been when they wrote about me that " You have to care more about the person across the table from you more than about yourself. If you are not about improving other people's lives and making thier dreams come true, then you are not worthy to have YOUR dreams and plans come true" And I meant that, and conducted myself in that fashion. And, FWIW Bankers is trying to recruit me back now that I will be able to work again soon. That some Oregon DOI employees thought differently is beyond my control right now. If I had not begun getting so sick so fast toward the end of my carreer and been able to financially as well as energy wise continue my fight with them I am certain that before a real judge and opportunity to see the wholle of the interviews that the DOI made (and was allowed to only cherry pick the worst parts in the 'hearing' with no opportunity for my attorney to see the whole or cross examine) we would have won, easily. The hard number rules of how much money, in % form, one could put into an annuity were not put into the DOI code until AFTER I wrote the annuities in question.

And Sean, you are forgetting for some reason how you credited me, after we had parted ways proffesionally, for your time spent in a church praying one afternoon. That, according to you, it was my influence in your life that led to that afternoons time. I hope that you are still allowing God to rule and run your life. Also, you never ONCE suggested that I was doing anything wrong in my business affairs with Bankers or my clients. And for good reson, I WASN'T. Yeah, an Oregon DOI employee found me to have lied to investigators, when they compared notes from over 6 years of questioning me and found discrepncies when
i had to go from memory each and every time plus truly was becoming very ill and weak, but there is not any mention of anyone being financially harmed by following my recomendations because they were not. AND, amigo, you are forgetting the many times that you called me to THANK ME for getting you started with Bankers Life - where you DID and WERE selling the exact same annuities that I was- and for mentoring you by the telephone many, many times to help you get a good start in the business. I happily spent HOURS on the phone with you both coaching and encouraging you. And I do not regret one single minute of that even now. Also, when you got your big break to work for Johns-Hopkins (LONG after our business relationship had ended) you called me and thanked me AGAIN for getting you the start you needed which allowed you to have the right skillset and knowledge base that made you a good fit for your fund raising job. You might still be working there, I don't know. I DO know that the last time I called you to see how you were doing, you promised me a phone call that never came. You simply took a chickenshit way and started bad mouthing me from an new assumed name, without once telling me that you thought I had been wrong in any of my business matters, when I THOUGHT you were my friend. Just... wow.

I just remembered another double standard here. Remember when I called you from a gun shop in LaGrande Oregon? I was looking at an older Savage model 99 in 300 Savage which had a tang mounted peep sight for $400.00. YOU told me that I should buy it and then flip it here at 24hrcf. That the sight alone made it worth much more than the $400 price tag. So I did and it was. I have long ago now quit the gun flipping but you were a mentor and co conspiritor with me on that. And in fact the VERY FIRST internet firearms transaction I ever did was with you. The funny stocked pre-64 model 70 in 270WCF for your Rossi lever action in .454 Casull. I wish I still had that one! smile

Sean, You are forgetting a LOT of things about our friendship. And I don't know how you were raised, but in our world and in my family you do not live in a mans house (Our guest room and sometimes our travel trailer right next to the house, but eating and such here), eat at his table, go to his best varmint shooting and fishing spots as an invited guest and close friend and then without telling him become his arch enemy from the anonymiity of a new assumed name, and for YEARS now. At least without having the balls for and class to have a person to person conversation first with that freind who trusted you FIRST. Even if by phone or e-mail. It is just not done, if a man is a man of honor. Some would call that two faced, at a minimum.

But, FWIW, I forgive you completely and without reservation. And, I sincerely thank YOU for it was your signing that long diatribe against me that made me finally really take notice. I should have long before, perhaps, but I am only 55 and have a new lease on life for which I am truly grateful for to both God and my amazing cousin.

And, I really DO intend, plan on, focus toward etc. to make the second half or so of Mark / Safariman's life one that really truly honors God. And one that really counts for something in the eternal scheme of things. And THAT my friends, and only that, is why I am stepping back from here for a little bit. There really could be something wrong deep down that needs some significant work. I am open to the idea of that and will be exploring all the options and avenues of fixing and re building things.

To all who have made fun of my testimony as a Christian and a Gospel singer.... Steelhead especially, This is what pains me the most. I am so sorry that some of my actions have caused harm to come to the name of my Lord and Savior. You all cannot see into my heart of hearts, but I truly did genuinely care for and about not only my clients, and I did help them, but as best I could and can all with whom I come into contact. As for my clients, I would make the same recomendations to them if I was a third party giving advice to them without my name on any paperwork, even though Oregon DOI now has some really arbitrary and poorly thought out % maximums that did not exist when I wrote the annuities in question. More to the point, I really DO love God, and people. The best part of being in and out of Virginia Mason hospital for 6 weeks was the opportunity to spot hurting or worried people and pray with or for them.

As an Aside, THANK YOU MISS LYNN! For checking in on this point and confirming the reality of my hospitalization. and confirming the reality of my lovely bride, asphaltangel. I lover her SOOOO much....

I will post some photos from my surgery here when I come back, and of my Vietnam Vet freind enjoying his Browning semi auto 243 and Loopy scope - big grin on his face - when I do return here. And I shall return.

And I do love singing and giving God glory that HE deserves. And I am an unabashed evangalist (see the links to my ink, perhaps). Some think I am pretty good at it. I have never received a dime for any of this and I like it that way.

I will not be checking in back here to see what happens next in this thread, some of you if not most will continue to have your fun at my expense and I am fine with that. This is, after all, JUST the internet. In real life, and with the people who truly know me I am much liked and loved and THAT is what counts. As for here and for now, I am only going to keep communication going with the folks who I am PM'ing with and as I said before any or all of you are welcome to PM me and I will ad here that you are all invited to e-mail me at:

kritterluverslive.com

I'll be back sometime, but will not grab another assumed cybername. I will still be safariman. All will know who I am, and I am a man not afraid to face some personal demons and get 'em killed off, and will not take the cowards way of using some other name and hoping no one knows who I really am.

As well, I will not be one who percevorates over another persons presence here and stalks them and tries to hi jack their posts or threads. This place is supposed to be fun, and a place to talk about guns and politics and hunting and fishing and such. I remember when it was just that.

Whenever I return in full, I hope that I will be allowed to just be one of the posting members here, without the drama that none of us really needs and is not of a benefit to the campfire experience IMO.

Other than PM's or e-mails, I will see ya'll some time down the road.

Genuine wishes for Gods blessings upon you all,

Safariman

PS not going to do some stupid swan song post in the general campfire, either. Just be MIA for a while.

No kidding, the IQ of this place appears to be dropping.

Oh yeah, bumpity bump bump

Dphillips,

Considered and GLADLY accepted!

Too cool.

for the curious, Mr. Phillips is offfering a Leopold Vari X lll in 4.5-14! I am amazed and soooo excited, this option is Absolutely perfect, much more than what I was hoping for here.

I am going to have to make SURE this freind of mine shoots a deer with this set up. Anyone want to donate some salt blocks, granola bars and deer chow??

Once again, this place and especially Mr. Phillips goes above and beyond. Sometimes I can do these kinds of things on my own, this year and at this time I coulld not, needed a hand with a deed. Thanks again to everyone.

MARK

Ummm, was I scammed? Haven't been around for a few years and lost my login info but I was DPhillips, but this sounds like I donated a scope and got scammed.

Interesting screen name



Kushtaka or Kooshdakhaa ( lit. "land otter man") are mythical shape-shifting creatures found in the folklore of the Tlingit and Tsimshian peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America.

Good job gentlemen on possibly digging out the ferret.

👍🏻😎

You don’t remember if you donated a scope or not?

Clairborne is from Walla Walla

The original thread long pre-dates me, but reading back, this was my initial thought... you don't know if you donated an expensive scope and/or can't read back and remember?

I need to find me a local critter or legend or shapeshifting creature of folklore within a couple hundred miles of where Safariman lives and make me a sock puppet. Then in 2-3 years pop up out of a manhole cover and start posting

Ummm, was I scammed? Haven't been around for a few years and lost my login info but I was DPhillips, but this sounds like I donated a scope and got scammed.

Clairborne is from Walla Walla

Sounds like plenty of responses, but I know I can look around tonight and find several options at home. Lot of good offers already. Although it appears it is not a real legit request.

I don’t know if you were scammed but I know that this thread proves that there are a lot of damn fine men on here. The good guys far outnumber the bad guys who eventually get found out for what they are and slither away.

Mr. Phillips, I’d say that you’re a good and generous man, who through a simple act of kindness showed great character when a stranger in need came calling.......scammed?......I don’t think so.

Yeah, I'm DPhillips, just been away for awhile. After the re-boot, I couldn't log in and that is that. I did donate the Leupold 4.5-14x scope to the project. It was still in shrink wrap. I'd never unboxed it.

For you Tennessee chuckleheads (really enjoy Slumlord and Rene's posts, but they are still chuckleheads), I spent my youth growing up in Napier, TN. Real Tennessee....

I saw this thread and immediately started thinking what scope I could give then I saw it was old Safariman.

Isn't Safariman back, with Pancreatic cancer, and fighting in a parking lot with Karens overs his daughters silenced SBR that in just her name, but also in a trust?
