Hey, what's all this then?

PrintI just now got John Morgan's executive washroom key back. He slipped it under the door, along with a broken pinata full of airplane whiskey bottles and a Jerramy Stevens rookie card. I can't leave you guys alone for two years, can I?
And yes, the executive washroom is still under my control. That's the only vestige I have left. It's largely ceremonial. Well, completely ceremonial, isn't it?
How's it going?

I started this blog with an IBM Selectric, two waterboys and a dream back in 2006.

BTW, you can ban me now if you want to.

Wouldn’t dream of it, no offense taken. Plus, I can’t ban you from anywhere.
Except the executive washroom of course, but we need customers.

Hmmmm
I can’t ban you from anywhere.
In that case.
F**k you buddy! ;)

Washroom key, please.
Also the gilt-edged toilet paper. We run a No-Fun Washroom.

I saved them from a Las Vegas floor show.
They are instructed to call me “Pappy.”

He is alive!!
The blog has been on quite a run. Shit load of content even during the lockout. I am almost scared to see what happens if/when we get football back.
Yeah, John left for reasons still unexplained
He writes for Advanced NFL Stats now, occasionally.
SBNation policy now means you have to sustain your blogs with a lot of uninteresting linkdumps and cross-blog content, as you can tell from the frontpage, but at least Danny is trying to get some original content with some tape replays and scouting bits.

John left and imprisoned Fearless Frog at Lookout Landing
Me? I’m doing fine but the Canucks lost the Stanley Cup in a way that “hurt” me just like the Super Bowl did.
Pacific Northwest representing…..
So close and yet so far. The story of my sports fandom.
John did not imprison Fearless Frog.
Fearless Frog imprisoned Fearless Frog.
Until this lockout business ends, you'll see me as often on the links as you will on field gulls. Also-- everytime I swing the driver, I'll imagine Roger Goodell is the ball.

Shrug, What PNW Mossy Rock Did You Crawl Out Of?
Man I think I just registered on this site when I saw the last Shrug post.
Thought I was hallucinating for a minute.
Win Forever: Live, Work and Play Like a Champion
I'm like busy and stuff
Still working at Microsoft, now officially for Xbox Live. Also picked up a freelance gig writing about pop music for the Seattle Times. Family’s great. I am frequently tired.
I just web-searched Field Gulls like I do every month just to see how it’s going, and learned about John leaving literally the night I wrote this post. Hope he’s okay.
My sports writing hasn’t gotten any better, but I will try and hang around here when the season picks up.
I have another announcement I’ll make later. It should be very inspirational. Nice to see you guys again.

I’m not sure I was even around when you were here the first time around.

How do you slip a piñata under a door?
Even if it is broken?

Yeah, I can't figure that out either. And it was my own joke.

So can we blame Shrug for the atrocious name of this blog?
I mean as much as I’ve come to love it, it’s still pretty embarrassing to say out loud. Or have somebody read it over your shoulder.
On a positive note, I’ve always liked the Field Gulls image/logo because it makes me feel like I’m standing in Memorial Stadium and looking up at the sky before one of my high school football games.

Nope, you can blame SBN for the name.
Or at least that’s what Shrug claims. ; )

Sort of.
I submitted several other names for this blog, which I preferred. I can’t remember what most of them were, except for Hawkwind. I submitted Field Gulls as a joke, thinking SB Nation would never choose it, but they might get a laugh out of it.
They wound up choosing Field Gulls. I remember throwing up a little in my mouth at that moment. But yeah, I admit, ultimately it’s my fault.
But hell, it’s a brand now. GooGoo Clusters is a terrible name too.

Hawkwind sounds like a name a LARPer would name his cat
by Greetings from the Lord Humongous! on Jun 24, 2011 4:48 PM PDT up reply actions 1 recs
Isn't Hawkwind an ancient prog/space rock group?
Sort of a comparable to early (Syd Barrett era) Pink Floyd?
I refuse to google this, I want to be right or wrong by my own memory of useless knowledge and trivia. (And I’m only 35, so I’m talking semi-obscure music from 10 years or so before I was born…

Except they're still going, I think
or were fairly recently, anyway. I believe that’s Michael Moorcock’s group (not as a main member, but he was sort of an associated part).

That's why I always liked
the “stupidest name in smart football analysis” line in the header, and would like to see that pop up again.

Thanks
I really do appreciate that. :)

Now we can be Seahawk fans without shame!
I mean Seahawk fans with slightly less shame!
