    Rams/Niners in Australia

    Hear! Hear! I'll be going to Melbourne for it, with my very close friend who is a 49er fan. I was hoping the Seahawks would be there, of course! Actually, the Treasurer in the currently elected South Australian government barracks for us, I recall, as he mentioned it quite a while back, when...

    Got your game day jersey picked out yet ?

    I've just remembered - I have one Seahawks band-aid left! I was sent a pack of them in the mid 1980s by a friend who was doing her first postdoc, in Pittsburgh, of all places. I'm going to wear it into the operating theatre alongside the ID bracelet the hospital puts on. Have to be at the...

    An Interesting Patriot Tactic

    Well said... and I salute your most excellent avatar!

    Got your game day jersey picked out yet ?

    Thank you! Hey... it would be better than the surgeon showing up with a Patriots surgical mask, and wearing a BUTLER jersey. :oops:

    Seahawks playlist

    Absolutely NOT the &^%$ing "Sweet Caroline" we get inflicted with here.. Supposedly - 'Major League Baseball team the Boston Red Sox lays claim to sparking its popularity. It is claimed that during a game at the Red Sox’s Fenway Park stadium in 1997, Amy Tobey, an employee in charge of...

    Got your game day jersey picked out yet ?

    Not my choice, but being on the operating table for at least the entire game, it will be a (horribly undignified!) hospital gown, or even less. :) (I gotta laugh, and there's no such thing as dignity in an operating theatre anyway, or in the high dependency ward afterwards)

    Seahawks LX team intro song??

    How about Pete Townshend's "White City Fighting"?

    Game day superstition?

    I totally agree. But I've got my lucky rabbit's foot, so how can ANYTHING go wrong! :)

    POLL: Super Bowl LX Will Be...

    I sincerely hope you're wrong! When I first started watching the NFL, in the 1984/5 season, the NFC champion won 13 SBs in a row, and a large percentage of these were by a good to massacre margin. I realise this was (gasp!) from 40 years ago, however.

    I won't see the Superbowl live...

    Lon, it's not an option, and frankly I'm relieved. They decided it was simply too much to do in one procedure. I still have not been told the full details, but the Feb 9 operation is to repair an aneurysm in my left common femoral artery, up at the very top part of my leg/groin.. They are...

    I won't see the Superbowl live...

    Thank you, Lon! It's actually 10AM Monday morning here when the SB coverage starts, and I hope to be first in line for surgery. I'm Category 1 in the urgent/elective spectrum, and was first told I had to have this operation back in September. The public health system is just utterly swamped, and...

    I won't see the Superbowl live...

    Thank you, 86Hawk and Aros! I've been bumped twice before for the surgery, in November and December, but all's fair in surgery priorities in a public hospital. I've been rushed in for emergency surgery before, and also "outstayed my welcome" in surgery time required (3 operations of nearly 10...

    I won't see the Superbowl live...

    I will be anaesthetised on the operating table while the Superbowl is actually on, and probably won't be able to watch it until Tuesday (my time). And then only if the hospital wi-fi can reasonably cope with streaming it, and I don't accidentally overhear the result on another patient's TV or...

    Super Bowl LX Bound

    That sucks you-know-whats. I am at a south coast seaside hotel, escaping Adelaide's 113F heat. The free hotel wi-fi did a very creditable job.

    I hate the Rams, but...

    Yes, the Rams are a worthy opponent. Sincere commiserations to RedAlice, in particular.

    NFC Championship Flag Raiser

    And I carried my flag to our seaside hotel at Victor Harbor, escaping Adelaide's 45C/113F forecast for tomorrow.

    NFC Championship Flag Raiser

    My small Seahawks car flag is flying proudly at the front of our house. Anyone else here have [anything Seahawk!] a display of some sort? Sadly, here in Adelaide, South Australia... no-one has a clue why I have this strange flag.

    It’s on!

    We had roast lamb on the WeberQ tonight, although my wife is far more fond of it than I am. I prefer beef or pork. When I was visiting the US, many people said they simply would "not eat sheep." Is lamb more popular now in the States?

    What if the unthinkable happens?

    Thank you, that's great! Although that's actually a different image to the one I meant, FWIW.
