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"?

"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...

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. ;)

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

Any of these sound tough enough for coughing up blood?

...when you realize your children and your clothes are about the same age...

With so much discussion about turning 30 and so many (too many to link) of you having babies and such, it has drawn in sharp relief the inescapable fact that I am biologically old enough to have given birth to the whole lot of you. OK, well most of you anyway (the exceptions shall remain nameless, of course). In any case, I usually try to avoid acting my age, but the effort has become futile of late. So today I'm coming out: I'm 44 and I think I'm having a midlife crisis. The good thing about this is that if you do the math, having a midlife crisis at 44 means you've still got a long way to keep going, baby. Granted you all have entire decades ahead of you before you have to worry about this, but I still feel it's my duty to prepare you for what lies ahead, Forewarned is forearmed. Or something like that. Here's a short guide to the upsides and the downsides of middle age: Downsides first: Midlife crises are a sexist phenomenon. Cases in point: Harrison Ford...

Does that come with the soup of the day?

Tomato Basil soup in Helsinki, Finland I just got my umpteenth chain e-mail. This one is a recipe exchange. Been there. Done that. But I've got a better idea. How about a recipe chain post? Here's how I hope it will work. I will post a most delicious soup recipe. Then each of you will contribute your favorite soup recipe as a comment. I'm thinking that if weren't for the fact that it's almost the weekend (we all know everyone goes back to their real lives on weekends) we could potentially have a month's worth of meals if everyone plays along. How? Well, if we get at least 15 recipes and each batch of soup makes enough for two meals, you can eat half one night and freeze the rest. And that could take care of all the cooking required for the rest of the month of January. Cool! Any players? I'll start. White Bean Chili this is a kid friendly soup--even my kids who won't eat beans love this soup 4 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded (methods vary for getti...

Stop the inanity!

Inane: Main Entry: 1inane Pronunciation: i-'nAn Function: adjective Inflected Form(s): inan·er; -est Etymology: Latin inanis 1 : EMPTY, INSUBSTANTIAL 2 : lacking significance, meaning, or point : SILLY Main Entry: 2inane Function: noun : void or empty space, a voyage into the limitless inane ( mirriamwebster.com ) It's gone. An entire hour of my life sucked into the void. Just like that. I'll never get it back. Two conversations. It's not even like they were worth becoming passionate over. Inanity (no, it wasn't a word till I just made it up) at its best. Or maybe its worst? First one. Someone needs a form. I've never seen such a form. I inquire about said form, calmly ignoring the pointed comment that indeed someone went over this form with me already. So I spend the next 30 minutes of my life chasing down said form, filling it out, and then participating in one of the most inane conversations ever. You know, those kind in which someone tells you one thing and ...
