Welcome back Tread.

I thought I heard footsteps in the corridors of Armoramas vast halls.

Great to have you back...

...we're all ears. :-)

Cheers

Howdy my fellow partner's in Crime...

Nice to hear from a couple of you.....of you who have responded, you've warmed my cockles, ya have!.....O.K., O.K., don't get all 'phobic' on me. I was just exercising an old saying from my youth is all. No need to reascert your manhood or anything, it's a snack vended from street salesman back in the fifties and sixties in England consisting of a snail in a shell is all!.......geeeeeez.....

Anyway. It's always nice to both hear the voices of your friends, and, see who's paying any attention.......
Truckorama huh?.........Interesting. About time. Now I'll know precisely where to find our good Mr. 'Roo, and our equally good Mr. animal. Someone apparently knew what they were doing when they created this wee 'clubhouse'.......{pssssst!......anyone interested in finding either of these two noncompliant's, only need to stroll as far as this 'new' Forum......but ya didn't hear it from me.....right? ...}

Howdy there Tread!

I hope that you've been able to keep up with the masses that have participated in the Incoming! campaign! Mighty, mighty fine stuff turned up here and as your unofficial-non-com-poop, I gotta say that I'm just mighty proud of this bunch and of what turned up!!!



So, what's been happen' with you?

Welcome back!!

Hope this truckorama doesn't mean the three of you clowns are going to desert us. I know that Rob spends a lot of time on the fine scale modeler forum, yet we find him just as involved here. Me, I'm also pretty heavy on the model ships web, but Armorama is my home, so I expect just as much participation from the three of you as ever

Geeeee, I'm blushing.....it's nice to hear from more of you. Heck, that even includes you Shermie's.

to animal: No worries mate, somebody's got to keep the humour level up around here. ...and that would be me.

to cardinal: "Pain" huh?......unfortunately my wife has a corner on that discriptive.

to shonen_red: That's Treadmeister to you!......

to 'Roo: Hey, no worries to you as well. Who could possibly miss ya, what with that bloody big floppy hat of yours! (sorry, couldn't find a smiley with a 'boonie' hat...)

to 'Zod: I remember that show. Always had a 'thing' for his wife......

to 'Our man Flizer': That sound in the corridors you heard is actually true. When I got into town it was on the 'RedEye', didn't walk in the door until the crickets had gone to bed. I thought only the blokes on the bottom of the Earth (you know, the bugger's in Oz), were around the halls in the middle of the night (U.S. time )

to kkeefe: All I have to say to you is "Thanks!" I quickly read through the "Incoming!!" finish line thread and TRULY appreciate all of your assistance while I was away. A Noncompoop you are not! You are a good compadre is what you are.
Now, that I've tossed butter all over you. Who is responsible for doling out the Campaign Ribbons? Don't get me wrong, I also appreciate whoever it was that did that. I guess I just need to be granted the POWER to do it myself as well.
I've got to go over the comprehensive list and make sure everyone gets their proper recognition. Because as you say, the entries are truly fantastic! And all participants should be commended to the highest degree!

to Shermie's:.....................I don't believe you.
Surely yer holdin' out on me.......

to Arthur: Holy Mother MaCree!!!!! Man, I haven't heard from you since Snicker's were a Shilling my friend!........geeeeeeez, but, I am truly honoured you decided to pipe in with your " Welcome"......I need to sit down for a sec......

to Blaster76: If you're including me in your reference to "you three clowns" then I take that as a compliment. I've always thought I looked pretty good in face paint, and feel I carry it off with aplume!.......
Although, truth be told....I'd put my money on animal to win any upcoming beauty contest's. Word is, facial hair is 'in'.....

Tread.
