Hey everyone. It has been years since my last post here on Flare, but I've decided to re-join the collective here. Some of you may not even remember me. I first joined this community back when the interface was still in LCARS format. I was originally from Orlando, FL, but I now live in Virginia Beach. I enlisted in the Navy mid-2002 and I am now a month away from my 2 year mark. I'm an F/A-18 Hornet electronics technician, at NAS Oceana. In the two years I have been in, I have seen a majority of the USA (35 states).
Anyway, browsing through some of the posts here I see familiar names, and it's good to see familiar faces. In truth, since DS9 and VOY ended, Trek has played less and less of a role in my life. I hardly ever watch TV anymore (the news, when I do). I have seen less than 5 episodes of ENT and I have no desire to see more. The only trek I see are re-runs on Spike TV, SciFi...
Hopefully I can rekindle some interest in the series. It's good to be back.
Christopher Weyer Virginia Beach, VA
BTW, I'll be in the San Diego area in August for a couple weeks.

Hi! Welcome back! Buy me a Jeep, and I'll love you long long time. Jeepy-Jeepy?
Posted by Lee (Member # 393) on :
What name did you post under back then? Because "Chris W" isn't ringing any bells with me.
Posted by Chris W. (Member # 1347) on :
Oh, various handles, such as Jamaharon (the others I have forgotten by now).
Posted by Lee (Member # 393) on :
Nope. Did you have a login on the present Flare? Might still exist.
Posted by Chris W. (Member # 1347) on :
No, I do not have a login at the present Flare. I guess we're with a clean slate, then.
Posted by Lee (Member # 393) on :
Oh, well. Welcome back. Don't worry if people don't remember you, there have been just too damn many people come and go over the years. 8)
Posted by Chris W. (Member # 1347) on :
I wasn't worrying. :-p
Posted by Toadkiller (Member # 425) on :
Besides most have trouble remembering last week - in my case I'd just rather not, but that's a different story.
Posted by Lee (Member # 393) on :
Ah, yes. I just about remember you - "the guy whose name is sort-of like Toadfish, but isn't." 8)

who am i?
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
Jesus. Now get back on that cross you damn dirty hippy!
Posted by Fleet-Admiral Michael T. Colorge (Member # 144) on :
Ah, welcome back... are you sure you want to enter this insane asylum again?
Posted by Hobbes (Member # 138) on :
An AT eh.. Thankfully I managed to avoid big decks, so I don't know anything about the aviation side of the Navy.

"Oh, various handles, such as Jamaharon (the others I have forgotten by now)."
Aha, so you are the erstwhile "Kudagram", also. I had kind of thought that when I was trying to remember who you were.
Didn't you almost get kicked out once after flaming Charles?
Posted by Chris W. (Member # 1347) on :
TSN,
I believe so, yes. I was 15 years-old. That's all I have to say on that. ;-)
Hobbes, so you joined the USN, too, eh? I'll be in the San Diego area in August, going on a week or two stint on the USS Abraham Lincoln.

Were you going to college in FLA?
I know we had someone down there for a while, but the names not right.
Posted by Ultra 2 Legit 2 Magnus (Member # 239) on :
1999 was fucking ridiculous.
Posted by Nim the Merciful (Member # 205) on :
Aw, will you stop being an angerball? We had The Matrix Episode One, Wamdue Project: King Of My Castle, the famous Base who were Belong to Us, and Holy Cop Jericho Kane, chasing hobos with sniper rifles in the New York subway!
Posted by Ultra 2 Legit 2 Magnus (Member # 239) on :
I will chase you into the subway and then get you to row my boat. Rocko.
Posted by Fleet-Admiral Michael T. Colorge (Member # 144) on :
Not of my ladies stop you first Ultra...
Posted by Ritten (Member # 417) on :
TSN seems to bring up pleasent memories, Nim has given hobos sniper rifles, and UMs name has grown and he's gotten a row boat named SS Rocko....
All is well here at Flare.....
Posted by Nim the Merciful (Member # 205) on :
Chick #4 is so totally swedish. She will protect me from ribald canadian stabass.
Posted by Ultra 2 Legit 2 Magnus (Member # 239) on :
So, I hear that the Swedish ladies find Canadian accents debonair.
WITH MODO HOCKEY AND HOT LADIES: MOVING.
Posted by Fleet-Admiral Michael T. Colorge (Member # 144) on :
The fourth woman is indeed Sweedish... I wonder if this could become a game we can play in the Forums Competition board.
Posted by Lee (Member # 393) on :
... okay, seriously now, what the fuck?
Posted by Fleet-Admiral Michael T. Colorge (Member # 144) on :
I'm with Charles on Lee's game...
Posted by Lee (Member # 393) on :
Well, hey, it was your idea. . .
Posted by Kosh (Member # 167) on :
The first guy looks German, or maybe CIA, but the rest all look lik Swedes.
Posted by Cartman (Member # 256) on :
"The first guy looks German..."
Well, except for his not-so-peroxidic blond hair and not-so-skyey blue eyes.
Posted by Topher (Member # 71) on :
I believe that guy is our very own Niklas "Nim" Peterson.
Posted by Ultra 2 Legit 2 Magnus (Member # 239) on :
He is the runt of the Aryan War Machine.
Also: Faggy Coat.
Posted by Capped in Mike (Member # 709) on :
I saw Faggy Coat at one of the festivals back in 9587, probably Moostock or Nokolulupalooza. I loved their cover of Aktuh and Melota...
Posted by Lee (Member # 393) on :
I am so dead when Nimmy next checks the Forums. 8)
Posted by Fleet-Admiral Michael T. Colorge (Member # 144) on :
Which will be when again?
Posted by Nim the Merciful (Member # 205) on :
Lee, I'm going to take your ass and shove it up Magnus' ass, then you'll both look stupid.
And I'm a natural blonde. That was a rainy day.
Posted by Ultra Manjuice (Member # 239) on :
Oh, I'll say. The forecast called for twenty centimeters of stoic posturing, with a 99% chance of Foppish Coat, and maybe light Ew Gross showers later in the day.
Sweden has terrible weather, and an even worse vista.
That picture is a behind the scenes of a Doctor Who fan film.

You are so jealous.
