Going To California

My friend Vikkie and I have been talking about it since my last post on the subject, and although we haven't registered yet, we're pretty sure we're going to walk in the Breast Cancer 3-Day in San Diego this November. We were originally leaning towards going to Chicago in August, but since Vikkie is the event planner extraordinaire at our Med Center office and her biggest event of the year is that month, Chicago wouldn't really fit into the schedule. We briefly kicked around the idea of going to Dallas/Fort Worth, since it's close and we have friends there to stay with, but we decided that DFW wasn't quite exciting enough for us. So at this point, we're planning on going to California, but we can't register until we think of a good name for our duo. There are over 600 teams already registered for the San Diego walk, and with each team having 2 to 10 people on it, that's already a LOT of walkers!

Most of the teams have names related to breasts or cancer or cures or walking or where they're from or who they're walking for, and many of the team names are quite hysterical. This year's S.D. walk has "3-Day Street Walkers", "Hoofin' for Hooters", "Babes for Boobs", "Girls Goin' Miles" and about 625 other teams! There is even a team called " 'Hawks for Hooters" (some of whom are from Kansas) that we could join if we wanted to, but we thought it would be more fun to think of a team of our own. So, here are some of the names I've come up with so far:

*Jayhawks for Jugs
*Jayhawks on a Journey
*Journeying Jayhawks for Jugs
*Kansans for a Cure
*KU Kansans for a Cure
*KU Kansans for Curing Kazongas
*Crazy KU Kansans for Cure

You get the drift. I could probably come up with a few more permutations of the same few words (or maybe replace Kazongas for Coconuts or something), but I'll spare you any more ridiculousness. I would, however, appreciate your input, so vote for your favorite below, or leave me a suggestion for something entirely different. If you need more ideas, you can check the complete list of already registered San Diego teams. Thanks for voting!
