I just joined last week,,,,,,,wait.........
I think the one many of you have forgotten was the Fanstop sites every NFL team had. That's how I found this place and boy did we bash in those days. Then Todd started this thing Seahawks.net, which became Seahawks98 and the band played on.
Whatsyurprob was the guy that kept screaming "there is no such thing as a Seahawk!", and Ravenhawk and yours truly were the ones that kept him screaming. lol
I used my name for a long time, then a long ago posters said "now don't get pithy leth" and a new username was born. I was Pithy Radish for many years. Then when we left the outlaw site, left Scout, and came home again I went to just The Radish. They guy that made that comment to me was Walrus4 none other than Trent Dilfer's Father in law who later became Schoolmarn and then left us completely.
Probably about my best friends from this site are Hawkstorian and Buckethead.(tho Todd, Mark, Matt and many others are right up there) Both class acts. Hawkstorian makes a point to keep in touch with me on a regular basis. And a newer fan morgulon1 has become a good friend, he even came to the hospital and sat with us waiting for surgery results.
By the way how many of you know what a Pithy Radish actually is without using your goggles?
I miss many of the old gang, one of the ones I miss the most is Kitsapguy, Bruce I know you are around and you are missed. It had been so long since I'd seen him I didn't recognize him at Temple Billiards one of our last games. Boy was I embarrassed at that and we spent a couple of hours together and I truly enjoyed them. And Barbraann, Secret Sqirrel (Dave I think of you every morning when I go with peanuts for our own squirrels. Newer posters like FalconGoggles & his wife who has shared their lives with me from the last few years in his ongoing Air Force Career. Lets hope I can see him make Wing Commander at least.
Kidhawk & I were both friends with Cheinhill/ibchawk, he was really a great guy. Some of the people that came to our Seahawks Training Camp partys are still around. It was great to see the KixKahns at the Swinging Doors. I am working on a once a year thing for the Spokane members, I hope we can get that together for more people next fall.
Its been a long and wonderful ride. Now retired and with foot problems so I can barely walk around a store this place is kind of a lifeline for me. Last winter I got to meet Anguish and hope to get to meet him again someday. The ones of you I've met face to face I say thank you it was great. The ones I've only met behind the keyboards I say thank you it was great.
I am really dazzled and pleased with the numbers of women we are gaining. Knowledgeable fans like KCHawkgirl, TalonHawk, and that sis gal from USC (lol sorry Deb) only make our site stronger. There are many new ones coming on board like that BlitzenBird who has a gal pal she is getting registered.
Its me that should be thanking you. And how many of you actually have an emoticon named after you? I have no idea who did that, but thank you.
And no Andrea, I most certainly am not forgetting our best looking Seahawkgal. :th2thumbs:
:les:
p.s.
Raider JON you little weasel,,,you still owe me a sponge bath. (Kitsapguy will back me up on this)
