I forgot to mention in the last post the tradition of extending derby names to friends and family members. Among many others, we had:
* Roxie Heartless and her fiance, Greg Heartless
* Summer Slam and her sister, Sister Slam (Sister Slam is now also my sister-in-law — I knew my brother only got involved to meet girls...)
* Raven Madd and her husband, Mr. Madd
* Jager Bombshell and her toddler-aged son, Skater Tot
* Amaretto Sourpuss and her boyfriend, Rusty Gunns
* Peta Sassin and my mom, Mama Sassin
* Holly Cide and her (ex-)boyfriend, Pee Wee Hurt' Em
and...
* Trixie Timebomb and her fans, The Bomb Squad
Also, some of my favorite derby slogans:
"Give Blood — Play Roller Derby"
"Skate Fast. Turn Left."
"Roller Derby: It's Like A Sorority Without The Date Rape."
...and, as mentioned previously:
"Roll Out With Your Hole Out!"
