I don't know who started the turtles thing but it was around the same time. Mr dbmack, who is a fan of both teams, couldn't remember Kaepernick's name. He said "Papaki or something like that" when I asked him who the Niners QB was.

. Went to high school with Seahawk linebacker Michael Jackson and Reciever Ron Howard. I cant remember her name but the girl that lived at the end of my block was on the first Seahawk Cheerleader squad.

Suzie Shulkie She was a hottie but a damn nice girl.

50 years-old, as of last October. Born and raised in Seattle. Became a rabid fan in ‘83. My first live game was the season opener against the Browns, when Curt Warner blew up his knee. I retired last year and am now trying to catch the games in my new hometown of Hua Hin, Thailand.

Went to the Dallas game in 76 and been diehard ever since... still have an autographed team poster from the 1st year.

Anybody else remember when players served a Fathers Day brunch? We took my dad. It was pretty special.

Anyone married to a woman over 45 needs about 20X as much TP as a single guy.
I'm a tad over 6' and down to about 180. Lost a bunch of weight leading up to my one and only lifetime admission to a hospital about 2 yrs ago. I was in there less than 4 days but at least I'm still alive to be paying for it! And still riding horses!

I will provide insightful, quality analysis with other Seahawks enthusiasts for a nice grilled medium rare rib eye steak and a few good beers.

Cheers!

Glad you made it out and are back to doing what you love. I'm 6'1" and up to about 150 (still have 15 to 20 to go to get back to where I want to be), I went down to a little under 140 during my one and only admission to a hospital.

When this whole mess started, I stocked the freezer with my favorite coffee beans and ordered a 2 year supply of nespresso pods. I spent the next few months relaxing on the porch while working from home and drinking excellent coffee all day, all while having a good laugh at the fools stocking up on TP. I might not have thought things all the way through.

So you are down to approximately 180 rolls of TP? I am confused.

I married my wife at age 22 right out of college, so I had never lived with a woman before we moved into our first apartment.

After about two weeks in our apartment I was like "WHERE THE HELL IS ALL THE TOILET PAPER GOING!!??" I lived with four dudes in the same house in college and we didn't go through as much toilet paper as me and my wife did.

I honestly didn't know women wiped after taking a whizz.

Trivia: for those who were around to remember Mr dbmack is the one who started the Papaki thing

This is an understandable innacuracy in the lore behind "Papaki OR Sammy Papaki"

A very young little girl tried to say Kaepernick's name the first year he started and it came out "Papaki", then there was media of CK and his fully grown turtle that he owned since he was a child named "Sammy" which then became "Sammy Papaki" From that moment, Sammy had a twitter profile and facebook page. I shared the logon info with another member here and we were trolling the Niner boards with that name and Twitter feeds for the players.

Now... I was born in 67, I became a Seahawks fan in 1976 the very first game they had against the STL Cards. We were living South at the time in both SoCal and OR. My mother was watching football with me and said "Oh look, this is that new team from Seattle." I saw those blue unis and fell in love immediately. My mother however turned the channel to the weekly Steelers' game, forcing me to watch on the black and white in their bedroom. That's right... we had THREE TVs and one of them was color.

Parents divorced, my mom re-married a Boeing Engineer and moved to Seattle, I came every Summer to spend my entire Summer vacation here in the Kent area where my friend group included those from Kentridge, Kent-Meridian, KentWood and Lindbergh. I lived in Fairwood Greens which was like a hub of those schools. In fact, that group of friends was connected to one Todd Breda, who I can verify was a skilled artist of many talents, including vocals. Todd was VERY popular in that group and didn't just have hair, he had BEAUTIFUL hair. I used to date a fantastic blonde (who did pass on early sadly) built like a woman no teenage boy should ever get his hands on and she used to tell tales of this Legendary Artist of many skills.

Currently 53 and Seahawls fan since day one.

You know I will need to know the name of this fantastic blonde, right?

I'm likely the oldest fellow on this Board. I was born shortly after the Bombing of Pearl Harbor. Came to Tacoma in 1948 and lived in the vicinity all my life.....and forever a Seahawk fan. When young.......I'd of never believed you had you told me what has happened to Seattle.

Yes I remember all those. But do you remember the "Fearsome Foursome"?

Native Washingtonian, and before the Seahawks existed as a franchise, I grew up a big Rams fan with Roman Gabriel at QB, and the Fearsome Foursome on defense, complete with Merlin Olsen and company. Of course once the Seahawks came to be, I was a diehard fan from day one and will continue to be till I'm no longer vertical. I could count on one hand the number of games I've missed since the very first game of the franchise in 1976.

I'll be 72 t/o come January 25th.

Grew up in Chicago a Bears fan. After the Army (1969-71), i relocated to southern Illinois and started following the Cardiac Kids Cardinals.

Moved to Seattle in 1980 and instantly became a Hawks fan. Retired in 2016. after 36+ years as a Boeing engineer.

Old enough to know better but dont. Seriously and lets just say my mother was born in 1912 and leave it at that

In dog years I'm dead.

Growing older but but never growing up. Have a firm belief that you are only as old as you allow yourself to be.

Was in law school when the team was founded here by the Nordstroms and have been a hardcore fan since, became a season tickets holder when the team was finishing up playing at Husky stadium and the Hawks games were often blacked out. Got season tickets so i could watch the team play. I live in the great white north and am a dual citizen. It's a hike on home game days to get from home on Vancouver Island to Seattle but the football is worth it even if my throat regrets game attendances for a few days following.

Have watched a lot of bad football and patented late game collapses by the team in the old days and believe we've never had it so good with the present FO regime. We are blessed to have the best ever front office the team has ever had. Pretty good QB too.

Have always disliked the 49ers and b/c I was born in L.A. was a fan of the Rams back then. Frankly I despise them now and have since Isaac Bruce hammed it up and disrespected the team in our house, I wanted one of our guys to flat out punch him in the mouth.

GO HAWKS!!!

Check you PMs.. A little Radish for ya.

Heh... while I am certain you know who I am talking about, she was just one of the many who were in the Breda Admiration Society. I know your modesty won't let you admit it but I literally heard the legend of Breda from members of each school from Renton to Covington. OK.. maybe not so much from the Kentwood crowd but they were new then.

Oh.. and to this day, if I beef my shin on a trailer hitch, smash or dislocate a finger or get hit in the Melvins by anything I do not drop F-Bombs in front of the family, I just yell "PAPAKI !!!!"

I also use it whenever I see a Wilson pass bounce off the hands of a receiver into an opponent's lap.

I was born 3 years before the seahawks were. Been a fan since October 18, 1981. That was the day I attended my first seahawks game in the legendary Kingdom. I had the fortune of going with a friend ofnthr family who happened to be Kenny Easley's cousin. We were supposed to go to dinner after the game but Kenny was injured and had to get treatment well after. I remember standing outside the stadium at the player's exit waiting, and waiting amd waiting I anticipation of meeting a football star. Alas it wasn't meant to be. But the seeds were set and I've been a rabid fan every season, every game, every quarter.

Me too . I've been a Seahawks fan since day one... of Rick Mirer's NFL career .

I transferred over here (from the 49'ers) after Joe Montana got traded, and Seattle got this new franchise QB. I gotta say... I felt old, until reading this thread. Holy cow, now I feel like a young pup!
