Except for the one on the far right. She looks like she might put up a good fight.

Just divert her attention with some Krispy Kremes, then you'll own her.

I'd have to be a Hustler. I must be in the same league as women with names like Sedonya Face and Freakwood Smack.

I would note that my Rollerblades, with their purple accents, don't exactly match my leathers. What to do, what to do.

I think Jim Croce might've been singing about her...is this the Ann you mentioned? See the second stanza:



Jim Croce
Roller Derby Queen
Written by - Jim Croce
From - Life and Times
Gonna tell you a story that you won't believe
But I fell in love last Friday evenin'
With a girl I saw on a bar room TV screen
Well I was just gettin' ready to get my hat
When she caught my eye and I put it back
And I ordered myself a couple o' more shots and beers

Chorus:
The night (you know) that I fell in love with a Roller Derby Queen
(Round 'n' round, oh round 'n' round)
The meanest hunk o' woman
That anybody ever seen
Down in the arena

She is a five foot six and two fifteen
A bleached-blonde mama with a streak of mean
She knew how to knuckle
And she knew how to scuffle and fight
And the roller derby program said
That she were built like a 'fridgerator with a head
The fans called her 'Tuffy'
But all her buddies called her "Spike"

Chorus

Round 'n' round, go round 'n' round (3 x's)

Well I could not help it but to fall in love
With this heavy-duty woman I been speakin' of
Things looked kind of bad
Until the day she skated into my life

Well she might be nasty she might be fat
But I never met a person who would tell her that
She's my big blonde bomber
My heavy handed Hackensack mama

Chorus

Round 'n' round, go round 'n' round (3 x's)

I think Jim Croce's Roller Derby Queen was a composite of several female skaters.

Ann Calvello was a good looking bleach blond who was tough as nails but still feminine and never weighed over 125-30 pounds. I went to high school with her brother who was also one helluva athlete. Ann was several years behind us but already had the reputation that you didn't mess around with her.

And yes, she was a terror in the rink!

Yeah, the names are the best part. So many more good ones available, like Anna Matopoeia, H.R. Muffinstuff, and Raging Hussy.

Dude... that was a blast. If you've got a low toleralnce for freaky people, probably not your thing.

No A/C. Crappy beer. But the girls seemed to be putting on a good show and the fans really got into it in the second half.

I'll be back next month... ;-)
