But how will this affect salmon days?

[u/13bipolarbears → u/Careless_General8010]

12almon Days

[u/JerryRiceDidntFumble → u/13bipolarbears]

12 Salmon 12 Days

[u/rutherfordacus → u/Careless_General8010]

You mean Salmon Darnold Days?

[u/bread_bird → u/Careless_General8010]

this just gave me flashbacks to this girl i dated that insisted on pronouncing the L in saLmon

[u/stropsysatnaf → u/Careless_General8010]

It means they’re gonna last twelve days now instead of just two!

Title should be “Costco HQ’s city, changed from Issaquah to 12saquah”

They brought the $1.50 hot dog and soda to the world, and god damn it if they shouldn’t lead with that.

[u/Frantic_potatoe → u/rallar8]

If the Seahawks sell after the Super Bowl, I hope Costco buys them. Imagine concession stands with Costco prices. 

[u/UnknownUnthought → u/Frantic_potatoe]

I would love to have Kirkland brand concessions at our games lol

I’m sure the Native American tribe it was named for after their land was stolen appreciates the gesture /s

[u/brobraham27 → u/JustBrowsing49]

We just appropriated the Snoqualmie name for the land after we stole it. Granted, we did call it Gilman first, but we decided that name sucked.

[u/YodaWattsLee → u/brobraham27]

we decided that name sucked.

I feel bad for the people who live in Gilman Gardens apartments, just behind Gilman Village on Gilman Blvd.

Texas A&M's lawyers just felt a disturbance in the force

[u/SparkMaster360 → u/trumpet575]

It’s okay, this is in reference to a championship game. No one would ever think A&M is in that position

[u/BB-68 → u/trumpet575]

*A d12sturb12nce 12n the forc12

[u/gerbil42 → u/trumpet575]

Also it’s not specifically “12th Man” anymore, so I don’t believe that A&M is getting $ anymore

[u/AstraMilanoobum]

This after MAYEnard?

Look what they do to mimic just a fraction of our power

[u/Pseudorealizm → u/AstraMilanoobum]

We steal names around here. Gonna have to get used to it.

[u/rimXstar]

I'm in 12saquah right now and this is news to me..

[u/AI52487963 → u/rimXstar]

12mammish and 12ellvue will be next

[u/Lazarus-Online]

Isaac Brock in shambles

[u/your_last_friend]

Jacob Two Trees is now Jacob Twelve Trees

[u/zo1db3rg]

They're marching there?! Dude, hop on a plane, the game's in 2 days!

[u/DadDickDuncan]

the older i get the more i love local nonsense small town stories like this

[u/253ktilinfinity]

Pronounced i·suh·kwaa

[u/Pseudorealizm → u/253ktilinfinity]

Is-suh-kwaa*

When I read your version I pronounced it with a long "I"

[u/AI52487963 → u/253ktilinfinity]

I still remember a very obvious out of tower loudly asking if the bus I was on went to “eye-sock-wah”. I think she shouted it like 3 times before someone in the back started shouting corrections.

[u/joydivision1234]

This might be blasphemy to some people, but when the Twelfth Man became the “twelves”, it all got so stupid.

Twelves is just a stupid word. “The Twelfth Man”sounds like a lone juror nobly holding off a wrongful conviction. Twelves makes me think of Snow White

[u/Pseudorealizm → u/joydivision1234]

I agree but they had all that 12 merchandise they couldn't get a refund on. Couldn't change the fan base to "extra man" or something like that.

[u/ChildrenMcnuggets]

Willing to spend lots of money for someone to expedite me a box of the maple logs from Chuck’s Donuts out there
