Starting a New Tradition: the "Halo Angel"


Now that my "Bring Back Hud" post was so hugely successful (not...), I had another brilliant idea I'd like to share with you all and get your feedback to see if it's worth pursuing. I think we need to start a new tradition as part of our Angels "Tradition" motif this year, and that is to a select and hire an appropriate female icon to represent our team as the Halo Angel. (though you might prefer Halo Hottie). She will be our "poster girl," our muse, our home game and international ambassador of good will, and will represent the kinds of attributes we value as Angels fans: sportsmanship, being a champion, athleticism, courage, friendliness, intelligence, and of course, beauty. I hereby nominate Lindsay Vonn for this year's Halo Angel. She is friendly, articulate, fun and funny, courageous (skiing frequently with nagging injuries), a champion many times over--including one Gold Medal in the 2010 Olympics already in a totally dominating performance though injured, extremely athletic (she works out harder than anyone on the circuit they say), intelligent, and I think you'll agree, fairly attractive. The following link illustrates some of her finer qualities:  Lindsay Vonn.

I know she is not involved in the sport of baseball, but, that's, ok. She certainly would look fine hanging out at the stadium in faded blue jeans and one of those retro white Angels jerseys so many of our fine female Angels fans  wear to the games with the red lettering. I think this outfit --Lindsay Vonn--would also look good, but perhaps with "A's" embroidered throughout.

Her activities as Halo Angel might include hanging with the broadcast boys from time to time, appearing in Rally Monkey videos, greeting season ticket holders and Halo Heaven contributors on occasion, and perhaps shooting out t-shirts to the fans with one of those little airguns. Traveling like she does all over the world, she can bring all that is Halo-ness to the good people in foreign countries, casting a brilliant Halo spell internationally. I could even see that with the right financial incentive, a new attractive downhill outfit could be devised featuring a stark red ski suit emblazoned with Godzilla on her lovely backside. Maybe even something like this--Lindsay again--but with a little more red to it. I don't know, I'm not a big fashion person--our editorial staff appears to be more knowledgeable about such things.

Finally, and I hope  all of this isn't viewed as yet another "waste of pixels" (like most of my work here), but I think we should give her an Honorary Membership in Halo Heaven and bring her into the warm embrace of our collective bosom. Thank you for your time and patience, but I feel rather strongly in many ways about this issue.

Good point (or points?)

but Vonn would create more substantial and international buzz and interest.
and maybe she could become an honorary member of Strike Force then?

by Raaddad on Feb 19, 2010 12:00 PM PST up reply actions  

And probably

she would have absolutely no interest in the offer.

How about a softball player from CSU Fullerton or Long Beach, etc?

Anyone know who Jenny Finch’s favorite team is?

Yea, Finch would be a good choice and more realistic

I just thought that such a spokesperson would be a fun marketing strategy and might generate increased international attention and revenue our way, among other things…I also thought it was funny…but…there ya go….

Give her an honorary HH membership???

I will grant her an honorary membership as soon as you forward your membership dues. Wire funds to Sothball, Inc., Lagos, Nigeria. If you act NOW, you can have the discount membership of only $200.00 per year!

by sothball on Feb 19, 2010 11:52 AM PST reply actions  

Damn

I already gave $10,000.00 and my bank account number for the free membership.

by eyespy on Feb 20, 2010 2:35 AM PST up reply actions  

Wow, fuck Lindsay Vonn

Fakes injury, plays it up to the media for attention, then easily wins gold in her first event.

Tell me, what real athlete whines about an injury, refuses to get it tested due to bullshit reasons, plays it UP before an event then preforms like absolutely nothing is wrong.

She is everything a person, especially a woman, in sports SHOULDNT be. Give me a Kobe, someone who takes everything like a stoic badass and plays through, never admitting anything is bothering him. And Im not even a fan of Kobe McRapeWhiteWomen.

How about we let things flow and see what sticks. I am not a huge fan of making fanposts to hopefully make a mark and to start some kind of tradition. It feels forced, well, probably because it is.

Well, she looks a hell of a lot better in the linky-doos than she does on tv in Vancouver

Did you look at the linked pictures?
Are you wearing your glasses?
I mean, I know it’s not an age thing (i being old fart); my son and his teenage friends think she is really hot too…but of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder

100% right

not only are they forced, they arent even clever, and usually the result of google searches with titles like “sideways hat” or “John Lackey +chins +ugly”.

When I am bored at work you better believe you will see a lot more forced, un-clever, unfunny stuff out of me. Enjoy!

Actually, most of them are really funny

I’m just jealous. My work with photos has failed miserably thus far. Perhaps that’s a good thing.

by Raaddad on Feb 19, 2010 12:36 PM PST up reply actions  

Ugh...

im too lazy to find links on this. Ill just say you win, but im pretty sure there was a bunch of things about her talking about her injury, how she didnt have doctors test it, blah blah blah blah.

by PhiSlamma on Feb 19, 2010 2:42 PM PST up reply actions  

Plus, she's weird.

I saw her “visualizing” her run before she skied. What a nut case. And she seemed so fake when she was crying and carrying on after her gold medal run. A total act. I was really turned off.

by Rally Manatee on Feb 20, 2010 5:13 PM PST up reply actions  

Only a nut case would throw away a winning technique.

   I think your a nut case for assuming she was fake crying. Give me a break. She has trained her whole life for this moment. It’s called PASSION, and EMOTION, I’m surprised a baseball fan such as yourself can’t recognize that.

she wasn't faking

but she did lose some ‘hot points’ in my book

by Raaddad on Feb 23, 2010 11:57 PM PST up reply actions  

Lindsey Vonn and friendly in the same sentence?

NO. She seems so focused she doesn’t have fun. Shaun White > Lindsey Vonn

That is Mayhem, also an MMA fighter (more of a joker now though)

I was going to do a UFC 110 post with predictions and compare each fighter to their equivalent MLB/Angels player but figured most on this bored would look at me like O_o

Although it doesn't apply to the Shaun comment anymore...

…he didn’t let it stop that evening :)

If I remember right, this was the Forrest/Shogun fight night, and I think Wanderlei was pissed because Chuck lost and that let some steam out of their upcoming match-up.

Still, in his day Wand stomped skulls. I hope tomorrow night he can manage to POUND this sh!t out of Bisping. I don’t know who I hate more, Beckett or Bisping.

We need a Strike Force Swimsuit Calendar

I just saw a commercial for a Laker Girl Calendar. Why not have a Strike Force Girl calendar? That would certainly make our little hotties more nationally recognized.

She’s from Costa Mesa, and she’s been recognized internationally. In Asia, they were like, “Look at that tall, pale chick.”

Hello no Vonn

She’s not even an Angels fan. I say we choose a woman that is an actual Angels fan. Finch may or may not work. Southern California has some of the most beautiful women on Earth, it’s not like it’s slim pickins.

This idea is garbage.
