Wild Alaska
« on: Today at 12:06:00 PM »
Anyone know whatever happened to Wild Alaska?  He was here and at TFL back in the day.  He's the guy who gave us the word/descriptive, SWMBO.

I remember him too.  Not seeing Wildalaska or "Wild Alaska" on either TFL or THR.  User name change?

He was with Wild West Guns, which is still around.  But, gun stores change hands, so it may not be him.

I have a half recollection that he passed away some years back.  Could certainly be wrong.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I haven't seen him on the forums in forever. I watched his TV show, which, shoot - I guess has been a good ten years since it has been on.

Last activity in TFL was in 2011 https://thefiringline.com/forums/member.php?u=17974.

A post from 2012 notes that he was at that time no longer a member.  https://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=489283&highlight=wildalaska

And apparently he got banned early on from THR  https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/wildalaska.137678/.

And here's us discussing what happened to him, in2013: https://armedpolitesociety.com/index.php?topic=37787.msg763083#msg763083

And then there's this: https://thecinemaholic.com/wild-west-alaska-cast/

Why does it not surprise me that he's doing the "old guy in Thailand" thing?  :rofl:

Good to know my half recollection was incorrect.

Soi Cowboy, Pat Pong, down the road to Pattaya Beach, what is there to dislike? And those are just the "clean" places, the underbelly of Bangkok is very nasty indeed! If I were single and living the good life Thailand would be near the top of places I would live.
