What all happened in the past two weeks?
Where were you?
Shit. Hide the booze, guys.
Hi Chieff! How ya been? Really, the car is OK, and nothing happened to the left speaker. And the cat already had that scar.
Welcome home!
I was wondering where you were, then realized you were home on leave, visiting the kiddie(s), drinking too much, getting laid. You know, someplace where the government wouldn’t pay you to live at the SDMB 24/7.
Welcome back. We got a bunch of trollish types who mostly tuned out okay once we knocked them around some. Woulda got done faster if you were here.
CHIEF!!! smooch
Welcome back, hon! Well, Peta started posting the pics from Norfolk…I sent you a link by email, or the thread is kicking around here somewhere.
We had some trolls, as usual…yippee. Coldy managed to flame most of 'em off, though. 
Oh, and we discovered new things about Coldfire, as seen in my sig.
I started my new job, which I love, and found a new apartment, which I also love!
So how were the two weeks with your son?
And I just realized I’m dead for using 3 smileys in one post to Chief. YIPE!
Scotty! Man we sorely missed you during the British Invasion of last week. Some of the smoldering wreckage my still be seen in the Pit. Just search for threads with my handle in the topic title.
Welcome back, and thanks again for dinner.
Welcome back Chief!
Hope you and your son had a great time…
Details, man, details! How was your time?
Welcome back, Chiefy…
I hope you had a great time, and you enjoy the photos from Norfolk that Peta’s put together.
Oh, news-wise… I bought my ticket to Stockholm. Whoo!
Welcome back Chief! We missed you.
Glad to see you back, Chief. Don’t worry, the Air Force had the watch while you were gone.
Welcome back Chieferino. Please regale us with salty tales of the sea and visits to seedy locales. I need to live vicariously through somebody.
I thought I felt a crisp salty edge to the air today. Welcome back Chief. Hope you had a great leave.
Just wanted to say welcome back
and yes, Montfort is coming to wisit me.
Am I not lucky, so say.
<Not to be outdone by the lovely Falcon>
Runs up to you, grabs you in a bearhug, and plants a deep kiss right on the old smacker! Smoooooch!
Welcome back, you ole Sea Dog, you!
And, just 'cuz: 
welcome back. i hope you had a great time with your son.
wow, philly is still standing. who da thunk it.
Welcome back oh greatest fan of mine!
BTW, I hope you had fun with your time off that rust-bucket (If you know what I mean ;))
Welcome back mate.
What did you miss? Check out the SDMB Chill out lounge for a start. That’ll take you to quite a number of other interesting developments.
hands ChiefScott a really big stick to use on Monster
I, too, was wondering where you’d gotten off to. So now that Norfolk is bone dry, you’ll start posting again?
MONSTER! My god, man, do you have a freaking death wish??? However, you doing that will ditract CHief’s attention from my smilies.
