well, if we're brainstorming, the word parish comes up again, as ayrshire is divided into parishes (although the other wavs tell me I'm digging TOO deep for that)

ok well the blackjack one could simply refer to the phrase "over twenty-one"
Yeah, I had thought of that too - I already tried:
over_21.wav
over_twentyone.wav
over_twenty-one.wav
over_twenty_one.wav
22.wav
twentytwo.wav
twenty-two.wav
twenty_two.wav
then I felt like I was brute-forcing, so I stopped.

Danadress.jpg and the Hidden Gif It turns out the corruption for danadress.jpg was that there was a gif hidden inside of it. Swoop was great enough to pull out the picture and get it working.
It's a picture of a solitare game.
Ya, sorry, I posted too quickly. When you take the "when I bust at blackjack" line, it most probably is hands of blackjack.

you're not brute-forcing (IMO) until you're using another brain that's not yours. (computer, for example, or perhaps a frankenstein ARG monster)

Me too, great minds think alike... tried
mad_cow(s)
weird_cow(s)
and other such erroneous .wavs... none of them worked

Dairy cattle. The full name is actually Holstein- Friersian, I believe.

Could be a series of black jack hands.
Edit: The totals would be:
Row 1: 7 23 21 5 19 22 19
Row 2: 26 22 24 15 20 25 22

Awesome
any chance they could do the same for danapicnic.jpg and farnsworth-window.jpg?
