Blast from the Past

I was going through some documents on my work machine looking for a spreadsheet I need to work on. I came across this great memory from my skating days. I came up with shout outs for the announcer for all of our skaters. Read on and be slightly amused. :)



Bad Apple:  Don’t dare to try and take a bite.  This one is a trouble-maker and will bite back.  It only takes one to spoil the bunch.  BAAAAAD APPPPLE

Bitter Kraut:  She’s blonde, she’s cute...she's a side-dish from Deutschland that'll knock the taste right outta your mouth!  BIIIIITTTTEEER KRRRAAAAUT

Chay Your Prayers:  Once this firecracker bowls you over and smashes your pride, don’t sit there and lose faith.  You best bet is to just CHAAAAAY YOUR PRAAAAYERS!

Chocolate Fusion:  Don’t let her sugary smile fool you.  Even though she’s a luscious bit of fudge, she’s got a short fuse and holds a large grudge.  CHOCOLATE FUSION!

Crash McQueen:  Hold on to your belongings and protect your loved ones because once she comes your way she’ll destroy whatever is in her path.  Collision is her passion and wrecking is her MO.  Craaaaaassssh McQuuuueeeeen!

Cynda’ Ambulance:  Clear the path!  Don’t mess around or you’ll get hurt.  Watch yer rear or this skater will roll right over you.  Call 9-1-1!  Cynda’ Ambulance!

Goody Nuff:  You think you got what it takes?  Think you’ve got the right stuff?  She plays hard and skates even harder.  She’s ready to take you on because she knows she’s Goody Nuff.

La La Boom Dee Ay:  TnT – she’s tough and trouble.  Don’t get too close because once she goes off she’ll rattle your teeth and knock you on your rear.  Let’s hear it for LA LA BOOOOOM DEE AY!

Madame Furie:  A hurricane of destruction and fury.  When this spitfire is unleashed upon the track you’ll want to protect your soft spots.  She’s fast, fierce, and furious - a triple threat on wheels.  MADAM FURIE!!!

No Merci:  Get down on your knees and beg for mercy.  Cry and plead…even beg if you must…but all you’ll get is NOOOOOO MEEEERCIIII!!!

Rainbow Fright:  A girl who uses the colors of the rainbow to color our world with terror and mayhem.  Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue…and if you run into this skater she’ll make sure it’s black and blue….RAINBOW FRIGHT!

Red D’vicious:  Red on the head and fire in the…hold on to yer hats and get out of her way or be subject to the malicious Red D’vicious.

Roly Ghost:  This paranormal phenomenon on wheels will show you the meaning of hellfire and damnation. When you shiver because you've just seen a ghost, you'll know you've just been passed by the unholy skating specter ROOOOOOOOLY GHOST!

Ruby Trap:  Don’t let this lovely catch you off-guard because once she is triggered she’s explosive!  Be wary of this dangerous pitfall….RUUUUBBBY TRRRAAAP!

Seoul Crusher:  Soju in her veins and Kimchi on her breath, this firey cherry blossom will knock you flat and make you lose all hope....it's SEOOOOOUL CRUSHERRRRRR

Stonecipher:  Don’t make a mistake and let your guard down because like wrecking ball she’ll smash you!  You best check yo’self before she wrecks you!  STONECIPHER!!

Weekend Blast

It's been a nice long wet Sunday. The morning started off great because I opened my eyes around 9:30 and I silently high fived myself for sleeping in, even if we did go to bed close to 2 a.m. It's still a luxury I am enjoying more and more.

After feeding the pups and taking them to do their business I started myself with coffee and a brownie. Breakfast of champions. :) I then lounged on the internet for a little while before my sleepy eyed K came to greet me with a big smile as he had his own coffee in hand.

We ended up doing our own things before K decided to pick us up some lunch from Mr. Will's, which was bbq sammiches and potato salad. Oh, K got me a grape soda which is one of my rare bad vices. I decided this was not going to be a good day of healthy food choices but hey what's a rainy Sunday for other than engaging in all sorts of creature comforts.

I think all the fuel that I had ingested got me off my rear and into high gear. I hit the garage today and actually organized and chunked a lot of stuff. I made quite a bit of space in the garage. I still have a ways to go but I'm pretty proud of the accomplishment. I'm inching my way closer to being able to start moving some of the stuff in the guest room into the garage. No wonder why people get paid to organize other's space because this is a tricky juggling act.

It's almost 8:30 p.m. now and I must say it has been a quite enjoyable Sunday. I'll be sad to say goodbye to it.

Another highlight to this weekend was Friday night. I was with 9 of my ex-derby friends at the theater to watch, Whip It. It was awesome to watch the roller derby movie with my pals and being able to relive some of those feelings that derby gave me. It was a bitter sweet moment but also a heart pounding adrenaline rush too. It made me want to skate so bad again. We all gathered at the sushi joint in Lufkin after the flick. Pals, roller derby movie, and sushi is definitely speaking my language.

I'm never ready to greet a Monday head on but I must say that my batteries have been recharged pretty well.
