Well, I'll take it as a compliment that these two thought me enough of a target for such a preemptive strike. And I'll have you all know it's a sock BEAR Thank You Very Much.

Absolutely.
And a very nice Sock Bear it is.
I am sure that they humored you when you called the Sock Monkey that. "Aw look, isn't he the cutest little thang?"
Do you still have it?
If we don't get our 5.11 order soon, you will see it again here. Tell your CTD Boss that we can come to visit for a while till they come in. We can have a little tea party.
Unless AM kills us off in the meanwhile for pulling your chain. You realize we don't bother playing with the people we don't like, BTW.
Always great when someone you know well puts the chum in the waters for you.
Take care.

Damn right, Even from an early age, I've always preferred firepower over, "security blankets" and "comfort Items"
No sir, it was not listed in the loadout thread, had to be pulled from storage for this purpose

Impressed, probably not. But it looks like he served admirably as a seat cushion

I sincerely hope that a female member of your family had the sock monster in storage, and it was not merely a matter of you pulling him out from storage underneath your pillow.

I had to ask where the thing was, if it was still around. Ended up it was in a shadow box that I didn't even know existed.
