tonight met a bunch of race volunteers at the Granogue course to ride the loop, work on the virtual tour, and to do a little trail maintenance. Fuzzy has been doing a great job leading the way here. And before some glue sniffer leaves a comment "I thought there was no pre-riding at Granogue.." Well, there isn't, unless it is at the pre-scheduled times we have set up with the estate, and you are a race volunteer. If you want to volunteer at the race, I will get you a personal tour of the loop. Otherwise, if you get caught pre-riding, I have to ban you from the race. I don't care who you train, or who you know, or how you personally will end our event, and piss in my coffee, or just how cool you really are. Those are the rules.
I don't mean to be an ass about this, but seriously as long as I have been promoting this race, which is a celebration of a dear lost friend, and this year, a benefit for the hera ovarian cancer research group, I have been hearing that shit. It's does get a little old. Do I sound Jaded? I hope not, I really do love this event.
For anyone still kinda bent at me about the no pre-ride policy, here's an idea that can benefit the entire community: promote a race of your own and get back at me by telling me that I can't pre-ride. I promise, I won't take it personal. But I digress...
I rode some sections for Deputy tonight for the virtual tour, and then FFAmy, Wheelie Ted and I were supposed to a lap with the helmet camera. There were some technical issues, Bill finally got it sorted out, and then FFAmy bailed on us.
Wheelie Ted and I rode about 1/2 a lap with camera. It's probably the most pathetic virtual tour ever. We crashed on top of each other like three times. On one of the rock gardens we both tried to clean 3x unsuccessfully. We were really having a good time and laughing our buts off. So we look totally lame, that's okay. When you see me fall all over the course, no one can call me a sandbagger for racing super sport.
Today is Monkey's Birthday. I brought her a cake to the ride, she was surprised and totally stoked. Afterwards it was devoured pretty quickly, then we all headed down to Pizza by Elizabeth's, one of Diane's favorite restaurants.
We walked in and Rob (not that no talent ass clown from match box 20) was still wearing his helmet. We asked for a large table, and the manager was like, "you dudes are gonna have to sit outside." Which was okay, it was nice, and despite the cooler temperatures, which required everyone at the table to wear a piece of clothing out of Amy's car, a good time was had by all.

Thank God Amy keeps her entire wardrobe in the car. Happy Birthday Monkey!
Finally a friend of mine just got on to a roller derby team, only she needs to come up with a roller derby name. Some of the suggestions have been:
Reservoir Doll
Brittany Smears
Sandra Day O'Clobber
Sybil Unrest
Ivanna Thump
Sue S. Idol
Belinda Scarlisle
got any favorites? got any better suggestions? I think I like Brittany Smears or Ivanna Thump.
stay in school.

I think Sandra Day O'Clobber is taken.
The best Roller Girl names I ever heard was War Gasim.
I also like Anne Christ and Summer Assult.
oh nos!!!
I missed the monkey's birfday celebration AND a chance to get in
amy's pants?!?!
dag, yo.
I'm not sure glue sniffers care much about preriding to be honest. Likewise, it would take a considerable amount of effort to piss in your coffee. Being that I live in nj and don't sniff glue, I have no qualms about pre-riding. Likewise it only helps level the playing field for those of us who actually like to be surprised when riding a course. Don't get me wrong, I'd like to know about tar pits and the like. But other than that a simple "moderately technical" or "fast and few rocks" description would do the trick.
As for Roller Derby I prefer My Cat's Breath Smells Like Cat Food.
Suki... no one got in my pants last night...sweater, jackets, fleeces, and blankets, Yes. But if you were there and needed them I'd have let you get in them ;). Granogue, Yep, bailed right before Weymouths. Phobia of cameras following my pink ass around over rocks? Maybe. Having an off day? Yeah. It's good to listen to your body. It's a new thing I'm trying. I kept listening and it told me I needed 2 pieces of cake and some pizza! You whore!
OK. How bout Ida Slapter, Tackle Box, or Flora Flipabitch. Uma Hurtmen, Lucille Ballbreaker and Tara Niploff are funny too.
Roller Derby names?..
Skid Liscious
Annie Maul
Hollow Point Hedy
Lanny Mine
?.. there could be so many more...
Happy belated b-day Monkey !!!!!
:)
Amy, you should know better than anyone - Tara Niploff might be a better Derby name for Monkey...
Bea O'Problem?
Anita Bath?
Really any of Bart Simpson's prank phone calls to Moe's Tavern will work.
Cybil Unrest is my pick otherwise.
