Half Time Fun: Danko Defenders v. Holiday Armadillos

If we, Highlowaha readers, have learned anything over the past eight weeks, it is that "foodies" are every bit as much fun as we are... and just as competitive!

For eight weeks Kate and Lauren have been incorporating our secret ingredient into their scrumptious recipes. Not even the NFL could write mid-seasons standings better than ours. Kate 5: Lauren 4. Neck and neck they've been ALL season long.

As tempting as it was to let Heather, with all of her Drum Corp experience, entertain us during Highlowaha's Half Time Fun we decided this week should be about showcasing the fan base behind our favorite foodies - Kate, Captain of Team Danko Defenders and Lauren, Captain of the Holiday Armadillos.

Each morning a challenge will be presented to Team Danko Defenders and Team Holiday Armadillos. Teams must complete the challenge, earning a maximum of 3 points per day. Two points will be awarded to the team with the greatest participation and 1 point is awarded to the team whose entry for the days is voted best/most creative/or whatever the criteria for that day might be. Current standings will be posted each morning when you visit our site.

Let's get on with it...

Highlowaha has a long standing relationship with Ray Wattson, the snarky, but fun loving light bulb you see partying in the picture above. Ray is a busy guy. Months ago he started a "Ray"volution, spreading the word across the land - SHINE (dammit). Whatever you are, doctors, lawyers, and such (in the words of Willie Nelson) be GREAT at it. Don't waste time being mediocre when, with a little bit of effort on your part, you can radiate... or shall I say "Raydiate."

One glance in our GalleRay is all the proof you need to know that Ray puts his money where his mouth is. He doesn't just trudge through life. Ray celebrates his way through life and he doesn't just celebrate... Ray becomes one with the celebration. At Christmas he was Jingle All the Ray. At Thanksgiving, Rayflower; first day of school, CRayola; Halloween, Count Raycula; spectator at the summer Olympics, VictoRay; St. Patrick's Day, Erin-go-Bray; National Best Friend Day, CompadRay; and he's even a little romantic, making an appearance as AmoRay on Valentine's Day. Ray shines at celebrating!

Today is your turn to shine, Team Danko Defenders and Team Holiday Armadillos. Roll up your sleeves and jump into our community by getting acquainted with one of our favorite and most long standing members - Ray Wattson.

Gather as many of your team members as possible. Have each submit an appropriate name for Ray, based on the picture in which he is shown above. Sure you could use something obvious like Green Ray Packer or Oakland Rayder Fan, but you if you're hanging out with the likes of Kate and Lauren, I know you can do better than that!

Remember, the team that has the most entries earns two points. The team with the winning Ray name wins 1 point. And, the person with the winning name wins a $20.00 gift card to Starbucks! Facebook, Twitter, phone, fax, text, or smoke signal... whatever your method, gather your team and let's get this week's show on the road.

Signing off until tomorrow...

I paid attention to which team I was on, but that was Friday and I'm too lazy (and it's too quiet here) to watch the video again to find out. Where do us spring birthdays go? Am I a defender or an armadillo? :-)

Either way how about: CeleRAYte Good Times!

Lauren said...

Can I enter on behalf of my own Armadillos? :)

Hip, hip, hoo-RAY!

Fumble, but a recovery for the Danko Defenders.
In my chatting with Kate's husband this morning, we got confused about who was going to submit the SHINESman trophy name. I would like to submit this idea instead:

I was looking at this web site and have found it to be pretty handy. I would greatly appreciate any assistance.

Recently, Louisville has surfaced as a major heart for the health care and health-related sciences industrial sectors. Louisville has been core to enhancements in heart and hand operation as well as cancer therapy. Several of the first manufactured coronary heart transplants were practiced in Louisville. Louisville's blooming downtown medical research campus contains a brand new $Eighty-eight thousand rehabilitation town, and a health and fitness sciences investigation and commercialization recreation area that, in alliance with the University of Louisville, has lured nearly 70 main scientists and investigators. Louisville is actually also home to Humana, one of the nation's greatest health insurance organizations.

Louisville is home to a number of major corporations and businesses.

Hey guys,

I'm just browsing sites for the kids of Haiti.

I'm doing this for a non-profit haiti organization that gives their time to
creating an oppurunity for the kids in haiti. If anyone here wants to donate then then please do so here:

[url=http://universallearningcentre.org]Donate to Haiti[/url] or Help Haiti

They give kids in Haiti a positive outlook through education.

Yes, they're legitimate.

It would be awesome if you could help us

So I went ahead and splurged -- bought myself a [url=http://www.ordio.com.au/products/Fatman-iTube-452-with-ValveDock.html]Fatman iTube Valvedock[/url] and I am very happy to say that I made out like a bandit. I actually listened to one at a friend's house several months ago and just couldn't get that sound out of my head because it impressed the heck out of me. I searched everywhere for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I called them first and asked a bunch of questions and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and bought it. Dispatch was very fast. Everything was as it should be. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they dispatch outside of Australia but you won't be sorry if they do.

Really happy...

Hello

I wanted to share with you a great site I just came across teaching [url=http://www.kravmagabootcamp.com][b]Krav Maga[/b][/url] like they teach it in the Israeli Army (IDF) If you guys have seen the Tv Show called Fight Quest you would have seen their chief instructor Ran Nakash there featured on their [url=http://www.kravmagabootcamp.com][b]Krav Maga[/b][/url] segment. Anyways, let me know what you think. Is training via the internet something you would do?


all the best
