My Nuts Got Crushed

The Nutcrackers were crushed by the Wicked
Pissahs at last Saturday night's roller derby
bout. Final score was 142 to 41. Yes, they were
beat by 101 points. I'm depressed. You can learn
more about The Boston Derby Dames at their
website. Hopefully the next bout will
not be a blowout.
Here are two BDD hopefuls for the next bout.

Yes, her brain was replaced with a horseshoe

I just read my niece's latest blog post in
anticipation of a certain football game
taking place this Sunday in the land of
corn. I am very sorry to say that the former
New Englander was most likely the victim of
an act more gruesome than the results of Dr.
Frankenstein's experiments. Instead of bolts
protruding from her neck there is a
horseshoe swelling from her frontal lobe.
Obviously the folks out there need to take
some lessons from the doctors that produced
those pretty ladies from Stepford.
Thankfully my grand niece Olivia is staying
true to her New England roots. Her
traitorous brother however, has obviously
been under the influence of his father while
his mother was under the knife.
Roller Derby!

Yes sports fans, there is a roller derby league
right here in the Boston area. They are members
of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association
(WFTDA). Roller Derby traces it's roots back to
the Depression-era days. It has seen popularity
in the 50's, 70's and is now back in the new
century. The athletes are smart, edgy, athletic
and know how to have a good time. A coworker of
mine, Lois Carmen Dominator (#011), is a member
of the Boston Derby Dames and
skates for the Nutcrackers.
I'll quote from last night's program about the origins of the Nutcrackers:
Last night's bout, Red Scare on Swan Lake, was the Nutcrackers first bout of the season. Unfortunately the 'crackers took a beating from the Cosmonaughties who are still reved from their last victory against the Wicked Pissas. Better luck next time for the tribe with the tutu's.
I'll quote from last night's program about the origins of the Nutcrackers:
Need I say more? Well I will. This is a really fun time and great entertainment for the whole family, except for the cussin' part. It is part serious, part tongue-in-cheek, but the ladies supply a lot of action packed excitement well worth the price of admission. Once you figure out how points are scored you'll know when to cheer. And cheer you will! Along the way there are thrills and spills that keep the sport interesting, The skaters really enjoy themselves and although they are competative there is a lot of inter team comraderie.Expelled form the Académie for conduct unbecoming of a dancer, this troupe of ballerina bruisers sought a sport where their talents for cussing and brawling would be put to better use. Trading toe shoes for quad skates, The Nutcrackers are now kicking ass and breaking legs with the Boston Derby Dames.
