We plan to make roller derby the most exciting thing to hit Charm City since the crab cake….
You know how much I love crab cakes. With a line like that on their website, how could I not go to the roller derby?
Saturday Misty and I went to Baltimore…for our third date Charm City Roller Girls!
It was awe-some. Here are some reasons I’m thinking of joining a roller derby team:
- Night Terrors? Speed Regime? Junkyard Dolls? Mobtown Mods? Awesome team names.
- The announcer wears heels and a gold-sequin jacket. And his name is Dirty Marty.
- The player names are flippin’ fantastic: I.M. Pain, Nuckin’ Futz, and Collene Scopy.
- You block and hit people with your hips and booty. Which gives me a reason to add on some Pop-Tart pounds.
A few reasons stopping me from joining are…
- The stretcher the medics bring on at the beginning of the bout is scary.
- My butt and thighs are too big to wear spandex.
- If I’m skating, I can’t eat Misty’s cupcakes. (Real cupcakes. That’s not a euphemism.)
For your viewing pleasure, here’s one of my pics:

Amazing, huh? Felt like you were actually there, right?

Don’t expect Whip It. Do expect unicorns, cupcakes, falling, and fun.
What should my Roller Derby name be?
