Welcome to my al-most prized posession, my Seahawks foam head. Ok, it's not MY actual foam head -- mine has some wear and tear, from being pummelled after the St. Loser Lambs games last season -- but it's pretty much the same thing.I've got a few other cool Seahawk things acquired over the years. I've got a old logo pin/tie tack; a fitted cap, of course; a geeked out cell phone; some old ticket stubs; a new logo coffee mug; two jack in the box antenna balls w/helmet, one old logo, one new; a Dave Brown b&w autographed picture; I used to have a Zorn jersey when I was a kid, it kills me now, not knowing where it went.
That's about it. It's not much to brag about, but I've got a feeling some of you have some pretty cool stuff. So it's time for show and tell, guys. Watcha got? Any cool autographed stuff? I'd like to know.
While we're at it, I might as well throw out my wish list:
Retro Largent Jersey (I'd like it signed, of course, but what are the odds?)
Shot glass set
Beer Mug Set
Logo polo shirt (for work)
Mouse pad
Boxer underwear (with glow-in-the-dark message that says, "The Rams Suck - do you?")
Koren Robinson signed gloves
A Seahawks logo barbeque.
That's all I can think of for now.

I have every season Topps Largent football cards and I got one signed when I met him in Tulsa a few years back. I have two very cool throwback jerseys, Largent home and Zorn away. I also have a big bowl and mug that my monster made for me. A while back she really got into pottery, she started asking to borrow some of my Seahawks stuff, didn't know why, then on Christmas she gave me this huge very cool bowl and mug painted beautifully with Seahawks new colors and logo. You would have to see them to understand, perhaps I will have my monster take a pic, so I can post them here. She told me that the bowl should be used for chips etc...when I watch the Hawks first superbowl. My monster rules.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to talk monster into flying to Seattle with me for either the Rams game or the COlts game, we would wear my two throwback jerseys I suppose, but recently monster hinted that it might be cooler if we got two jerseys that say monkey and monster on them. That would be way too cool. She has the best ideas.
ReplyDeleteI fogot my Seahawks necktie (old logo) which I wear every Mon. after a victory!

Want - Foam Head. Where can you get em? I tried googling "Seahawks foam head", mostly comes up with Ray Rhodes articles...
Also, someone wrote on a blog (PI?) a long time ago about proper care of the foam head, I think it was you Blue, is that true? If so, that post needs to go in the HOF. If not, I'll see if I can find it and post, it was very funny.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that! It's from when I was 'boomdiggydiggy'. For all you new acquantances, here's the post (it was hard to find):
ReplyDeleteDidn't you know? When you get a new foam head you have to 'train' it.
The foam head wants to watch the Seahawks play. It has the power to affect the outcome of games telepathically, but you have to teach it what to do. You need to use this desire to watch the game in a discipline/reward system.
First, make sure it has a good view of the game. When the Seahawks are playing well, cheer in an exaggerated manner so that the foam head understands that you are pleased and this is a good thing. If the 'Hawks score give it a Cheeto or something. Talk to the head and let it know how happy you are that the Seahawks are leading.
But you need to take the opposite approach when things do not go well. If there is a costly turnover, express your vehement dispeasure and set it to the side in a way so it can't see the screen. Don't put it on again until you get the ball back or the Seahawks score again. If the opposing team scores a field goal, act mad again, take it off and cover it with a jacket or a pillow or program or something. If the other team scores a touchdown, put it under your seat violently. Don't be afraid to yell or be abusive. It needs to know what is expected in order to get back on your head with a good view.
Keep using this discipline/reward system until you see results. I have heard of some people who got the point across in one quarter, but some have had a stubborn one who did did not get the hang of it for several games. Just keep after it. You may even have to shut it in the closet for several days, like I did with mine after the Arizona game.
If you can be conistent and diligent in the training the new foam head, it can bring you and the Seahawks years of winning streaks and playoff appearances. Unfortunately, not many know about the power of the foam head. Good luck and spread the word. We need the help this year.

Blue -
ReplyDeleteIs this training regimin only successful at the stadium, or can it be applied remotely during a telecast?
Also, is there any way to effectively train the foam head if all you get to see of the Seahawks most weeks is the 27 seconds of highlights during Chris Berman's NFL Prime Time show?
I'd love to give a good home to a needy foam head, but I don't want to commit if I cannot properly raise it and train it.

They have unlimited range, which means it works fine via telecast.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying, but I have not yet been able to affect the outcome of game highlights. Maybe someone else has some pointers in this regard.
