"You can't put a price on fun." - It's not just an expression, it's The Harlow Way

by Scott Muoio

How do you celebrate your birthday in Seattle when the the Thursday Night Bowling League is calling your name? Simple. Just follow this recipe: 6 variously exotic cocktail shots (1 Washington Apple (a.k.a. The Jolly Rancher east of the Mississippi), 1 Caucasian, 1 Tequila, and 2 Jagermeisters), 6 local brews, a dozen Capital Hill style cupcakes, 1 Wallingford style cupcake with plastic bowling man on top, enough helium balloons to launch a small air ship, and the determination and gusto to take it all in while heroically leading your team to victory and maintaining a 159 two match average in the process. Oh, and let's not forget engaging in simultaneous conversations with nearly everyone in the bowling alley. Yes, my friends, anyone who knows him can attest, that triumphant birthday experience is The Randy Harlow Experience nearly any night of the week. Simply put, on The Train of Good Times, Randy is "The Man" and any experience is unquestionably better when Randy's along for the ride.

For his outstanding contributions to good times, amongst many other notable qualities, we salute you, Randy Harlow. You are indeed a most generous man, week in and week out buying round after round of shots for all who dare inbibe, an exceptional bowler whose sage advice powers teammates and opponents alike, and unquestionably the greatest social butterfly the world has ever known. To meet him even once is to understand, Randy Harlow is a great man.

We sing your praises, Randy, and call out to you, "Spread your wings and fly, fly, fly to the heavens and beyond, for this world is too small to contain all your gloriousness!"

An army of shots... all part of the Randy Harlow game plan!
