sween: Believe me - if I could fill out that costume as well as they all did, I'd be all over it!
Sizzle: Isn't is the best? I'll definitely be back!
Kentucky Dervish: Yay! My first celebrity roller derbist comment! You gals were awesome - wasn't the score 40-20? I've already added some derby merchandise to my xmas list!
shari: Oh, don't even pretend like you can't skate. You need to unleash your inner skater!
claire: Hmm... how 'bout something like, "Nervous Stomach Nellie" or "Up Chucky?"

Hmm, if you could work projectile vomit into your name, maybe you wouldn’t get hit as much.

Um, so when you come to Portland, we’re not actually going to have to wear skates are we?

Hey, I’m a Double Crosser–we’re the ones in black. Anne Arkie up there is my co-captain. I had the privilege of knocking a number of Manic Attackers on their asses last weekend. I’m in my LATE thirties, I still apologize when I hit people, I love getting hurt, and it’s the most fun I’ve ever had, for sure.
Look out, Seattle: Seraphina Scorcher from the Manics is moving out your way and should be a member of the Rat City Rollers next season. Rat City is the lone practitioner of the lethal LEG WHIP! Scary!
Glad you enjoyed the bout. Come back next season!

Holy crap. I was going to say that you have your halloween costume for next year, but honestly, I think you should feel completely justified wearing a roller derby outfit every day of the year.
Everyone should.
For real.

Dave2: I know - the uniforms are pretty cool, aren't they! One of my friends had to point out that they are supposed to be straight jackets.
THB: That's awesome - does he have a cool ref name? The refs had names like "Riff Ref" and "Judge Injury."
Don: Pretty much anything having to do with a clown is scary!
Tracy Lynn: Oh, Pinky. Although I think I might have been partial to Leather Tuscadero. Wasn't she the one who would slap her thigh and do the finger point thing?
Laurie: HA! I actually was thinking of stubbed toe - those suckers hurt!
Dustin: You're like my yoda.
Heather Anne: Oh it's as real as you can get! Aren't you in Atlanta? They must have a roller derby there.
Churlita: How cool is that?! There are four teams in the league - we saw the Manic Attackers vs. the Double Crossers. The other two are the Hell's Belles and The Fury.
piktor: Thanks! And Hacka Kahn is a great roller derby name!
Mad William: Thanks! I know, though - don't those ice cream headaches just kill?

That was too funny. …”doesn’t even apologize!.”
I’m cryin’ over here.
Ice Cream Headaches are the worst!
That is the funniest thing I have read in a long time.

Jenny, I’m also a poweless athletic putz. You carry your muscle in your IDEAS, you are, after all a THINKER. Your dialogues are hilarious. How about “Hacka Kahn”.

A friend of mine was on a roller derby team in Chicago for a while until she was physically, repeatedly reminded that she was in her mid-thirties. I need to ask her what her roller derby name was.
