It's kind of like football...but without a football

Now this is something I could get into...

And now I want you all to tell me this:

If you played roller derby, what would be your derby name?

If I played for The Cannibal League of greater New Guinea, I guess we would call ourselves, "Meals On Wheels."

Depends on the team, like elastic said. H8ter Sk8ter (but I don't hate so maybe not). Maybe Sew Gonna Getcha. Biker Blader (not to be confused with Biker Bladder). Harley Hottie.

Honey Dumpling. And I'd be the toughest chick on the team.

My friend Christy (craftyconservative--blogger name), has a sister who actually does roller derby. . .her suggestion for her name was
HOT ROLLER (she's a hairstylist!)

I'd have to go with Liar Liar pants of Fire, cause the only way I could play would be to dress in drag and tell everyone I was a woman...and that ain't about to happen.

Roll on

For my personal name, I'm leaning towards "Exhaust Fumes" or "The Spandexed Crusader."

If this could be co-ed, I would take my name from "Deep Impact" and be known as E.L.E. short for Extinction Level Event, because I would show no mercy and take everyone out!

sound bytes I just loved from this story:

"...you sort of use your teammates as the ball."

"...a bunch of girls out on a skating rink beating each other up."

"I had a broken rib, I had a broken toe, I had a chest contusion. I was coughing up blood last week, but you still love it? I love it!"


(because coughing up blood is so healthy!)


still looking for more names...although some of the best are already taken: Cruel Intentions, Bam Malicious and Cassius Slay

How about Sir Cumcision? Maybe not, unless it's male roller derby.

Maybe "Smother Mother"?

Melody said...

"Rolling Requiem"
"Hey, ladies, You're goin' down! If you are my opponent on the derby: this Melody's for you!"

If that's not tough enough I would probably go with "The Surgeon"- you know, bloodied, broken bones and all that...

dalene said...

Melody, you'd also make a great Nurse Goodbody!

Julie, you have to try again. I'm definitely expecting something regarding some sort of bodily function from someone who is lovingly referred to as "Sister Pottymouth."

As for the men, I'm sure we could have an equal opportunity roller derby team. I'm thinking something a long the lines of the Blogger Bomb Squad. That could definitely be co-ed.

Probably "Clearly-having-a-crisis Girl"...since a 36-year-old woman joining a roller derby team probably indicates some sort of issue. ;)

Geo said...

Potato Masher
Quasimoda
Letter Presser
Oh My Bonk (bonk = a printing term)
Over Easy

Any of these sound tough enough for coughing up blood?
