Roller Girls
I LOVE rollerskating. I loved it when I was a kid and I loved it when I was a teen tearing it up at the local skating rinks. I loved it as a young adult when wearing polyester was in and disco was waning. I still love it. When I was young I invested in a good pair of speed skates which were 300.00 at the time, I'm thinking this was probably the same as 500.00 now. What was I thinking???? Anyway, I think Herman has always thought this ranked right up there with me liking bowling and carnies. But still I skate when I can. Actually I haven't skated in about 6 years now. I recently caught a few episodes of the new series called "Roller Girls." I watched with enthusiasm while making comparisons. "Oh, I could as skate fast as her.....she's about my age....I couldn't wear that short of an outfit....hmmmm my roller girl name would be....." I felt my heart beating faster and my desire to be up on that ramp kept growing. I imagined what it would take for me to turn "pro". Could I make the sacrifices etc. Well after careful consideration there is really only one reason, ok two, why I can't skate pro roller derby, well actually 3. The first is: there isn't a league anywhere close by here. The second reason is I really don't like to get hurt. And third: I don't have a good roller derby nick name. So here's where you come in. I need help in coming up with my nick name should I ever pursue this "dream" Some typical nicknames that are taken so far are: Punky Bruiser, Miss Conduct, Venis Envy and so on. So I need some ideas from you as to what my name should be. Here is some of my history and you can go from there.
41 (and a half) years old. Mother of 3, wife of 1. Talks tough but is afraid of pain. Can be sassy but embarrasses easily. Loves to garden, read, relax and eat. Short, in height but not in attitude. I expect some creative, but not crude suggestions-I blush easily.
Check this out for the history of the sport. From there you can "meet the girls" and get to know my sport better.

Good luck on turning pro.
I'm not very athletic, but skating is something I can do. LOVE that.
Mimi, what about your suggestion for my nickname?:+)
I think you already have the perfect name: julienne ... you know, cut into strips! : )
Now that's funny, took me a minute though. Hmmm the mighty julienne
In the spirit of rollerderby nicknames ... how about "The Julienne-Ater" or "The Julienne-O-Matic." Remember Ronco?
Here are some suggestions:
-Mommy Dearest
-Sarah Moanie
-Hedda Hunter
-Jenna RationEx
or you could use my word verification: memulwdl
Mommy Fearest
I don't have any creative ideas for your skate name... but I do remember that I used to love to rollerskate. Do they still have skate parties through the schools? We went to public schools for about 4 years and once a month there would be a skate party at the local rink. My sis. and I loved it! Then we switched to private schools and they didn't have skate parties... but my parents would take us to Oaks Park in Portland to go roller skating:) What fun memories...
more names:
-Momma Mia
-Ima Momma
-Philomenia Myknuckles
Sounds to me like Herman is pushing for pro here. Stay tuned for future plans.

Awesome! In the past I hated ordering a pizza, I had to talk to someone on the phone. It
was the worst part of my day, I always get afraid that the pizza dude is going to bully
me. This way I'm safe. If only i didn't have to look the delivery boy in the eye and not
give him a tip.
