 | KOMO-TV reports: More than 300 people were evacuated from the state Department of Corrections here Friday morning after a box containing a "Schrammie" bobblehead aroused suspicion in the mail room.
...
Calkins said the mail clerk was suspicious of the package because the outside of the package was stained and he could not find a return address. |

Only in la,la land! I think some one needs to get taken to jail!!!
Posted by: dcat on May 25, 2007 12:16 PMIf anyone deserves blame, it is the people who mailed the package.
Posted by: rbb on May 25, 2007 12:37 PMWhen I was working at a small software company in the early '80s, we got an unexpected package with no return address. After a bit of worry, we called the bomb squad (this was just after one of the Unabomber attacks), and they evacuated the building.
Turned out to be nothing, but the bomb squad got some exercise.
Posted by: Eric on May 25, 2007 01:10 PMThe "Schram" Bobblehead is one of the most hideous looking toys ever foisted upon Man-- and Womankind.
Frankly, I'd be more worried about the long-term psychological impacts of receiving and staring at this abomination than having it blow up.
An overwhelming # of people who have been expose to the Schram Bobblehead for more than 5 minutes are alleged to prefer suicide to continuing life with that appalling vision burned in their memories. Posted by: Mr. Cynical on May 25, 2007 01:53 PM
Hell, I've had to sit next to the guy when my daughter and his son sang together in Inglemoor HS's jazz ensemble, Encore. A less pleasent chap there isn't in the universe!
And he ripped me several new ones during the Tent City 4 wars, too.
Ken Schramm...unsafe at any speed, bobbling or standing still!

Posted by: Piper Scott on May 25, 2007 02:40 PMHow come the "Schrammie" looks about 10 years younger and 20 pounds lighter than the Schramm himself?
Maybe this is a call to create a new mold more in tune with current reality.
Posted by: John Bailo on May 25, 2007 03:29 PM10 years younger, 20 lbs. lighter and a MUCH better complexion.
Also notice how Sham is playing "pocket pool"...now that's realistic! Posted by: aaaargh on May 25, 2007 04:05 PM
Are you saying Schram and mold are the same? I'm confused; please explain!

Posted by: Piper Scott on May 25, 2007 04:40 PMNot as long as wooden legs and bobbleheads are under control.
We could ask for a waiting period for postal shipments, but there's already one built in.

Posted by: Not A Schram Fan on May 25, 2007 06:47 PMThe guy is just so full of fertilizer that you can smell him right through the radio.
Posted by: johnny on May 27, 2007 12:24 PMFor me, it is hard to listen to him on the radio because he is so rude and arrogant while calling others rude and inconsiderate. He certainly is a great case study in hypocrisy.
To call Schram an idiot I think would be inaccurate...the man appears to be mostly well read, and does put up some good arguments. But does get his "facts" wrong more often than acceptable for me.
If he wasn't such a cocky bastard, it would be easier to listen to his side of the argument...which sometimes are informative.
In the meantime, I can't help but laugh at the Schrammie incident. I can only imagine how much Schram would chastise someone for making the same mistake he did. Will be interesting to see how he spins this into a blame shift.
