Blowing to your plane!

'Scuse me, seem to have something in my eye.

Does this remind anyone else of the St. Crispin's day speech from Henry V, cause I am kinda 'holding my manhood cheap,' right now.

Very moving post Static, more so since I have been there and know exactly how you feel.

You have done your part for your country so come home and rest soldier, let someone else carry the burden now.

Keeping this toward the top so Static can see it when he arrives back on the boards.

In the spirit of the "I hope Joss reads this!!!" thread, I'll repeat my last comments here:

Quote:

As a general rule, RocketJock, the premise [that we're keeping the thread up until Static posts that he's returned] is correct. Personally, I'd like to keep this thread toward in the top 10 so that Static can see it when he comes home.

It's also a really great way for the new fans on the board (and we're still getting new folks every day) to see how much our favorite show affects/reflects in the lives of others - sometimes in very significant and meaningful ways.

That being said, once Static has announced his return to the US (complete with the rest I'm sure he'll need after such a long journey), I'll probably still add something to this thread once in a while, so the new folks can experience it.

I stand by this statement for Static's originating post for this thread as well. Let's keep showing the troops - all of them - the love and respect they deserve.

Okay Static;

It's nearly 1:30pm eastern. Your *ss had better be sleeping or otherwise home safe.

The more I get to know people the more I like my dogs.

Just because he has stepped off the plane doesn't mean he is free to check in with us. Debriefings, receptions, pass-in-review, medical checks for rabies, black plague, and anal-cranial insertion, checking in equipment, checking in for a place to sleep, paperwork paperwork paperwork...

This would be a normal, sane homecoming without unexpected delays. But, this is the Army we are talking about here, the same ones that coined, "Hurry up and wait!"

Relax. He'll be along in due time, jet lag and all.
