Derby: If Roller derby was an olympic sport?
What country would win gold, silver and bronze?
I think roller derby should be in the olympics. how does one petition the olympic committee for something like that?
stupid? equestrian games in the olympics is stupid, and that is in. roller derby is a real sport.
roller derby isnt scripted. have you ever been to one?
nascar makes as much sense as the horses, but roller derby makes more sense than either. anyway, this is suppose to be a fun question not a serious one.
i never said the costumes and stuff wasnt theatrical, but they are just trying to get an audience. jammers get through and score points because it is hard to skate and pay attention to the blockers and the jammers. the fact is, it isnt worth the effort of scripting it.

Derby: how do I heal my broken blister?
I have a massive blister on my heal and I need it healed enough to put my skates (roller derby) on by Saturday!! I got it last Tuesday, it opened on Thursday and it hurts bad. It's not infected because I've been applying neosporin up until 2 days ago then I heard that's not good to do that and I need to leave it open to the air. Since then I've been soaking in epsom solution twice a day and leaving it open to the air. Is there anything else I can do? I have an event on Saturday and need my foot back.

Derby: Does your spouse think you're too snooty for his/her social situations?
My wife is running for political office in a mostly unsophisticated Eastern Florida county and thus has been going to a lot of events. Usually, she likes to bring the kids (especially my daughter, who is cute), and I tag along, too.
The events range from clam bakes, to chicken BBQs, to Pinewood Derbies to 5k run/walks.
On Sunday, it was the annual Elks Lodge Lawn Mower Race. I long have admired my wife's ability to relate to the common man. She came from humble beginnings and somehow wriggled her way through a low-ranking college and a bottom-tier law school and has made a career for herself representing mostly petty criminals who pay in unmarked cash.
I'm an art professor at the local college and have been on the arts scene for two decades, mostly making a decent career out of my work. I just don't move as comfortably from event to event, including the Lawn Mower Race. She does, however, when it's beneficial to her, handle my arts events just as fluently as her blue-collar events.
You came from a worse background than me, she mentioned caustically at the event as I was standing in the shade with our son, enjoying a ginger ale (and I did live in a trailer park for a short stint as a kid and was passed around a bit between relatives). Why are you acting so high and mighty?
Then my wife, who is four months pregnant (probably not my kid -- long story), stormed off and quickly put on her John Edwards smile, grabbing her fourth beer of the day, as a tatted-up guy named Dirty Earl helped her on to a souped-up Toro rider mower that was as loud as an avalanche. She proceeded to speed around the Elks' big lawn, with a beer in one hand, my daughter in her lap, waving and laughing as the 200 or so in attendance hooted and hollered. She almost hit another mower. My daughter looked terrified and ended up drenched with beer, but my wife just laughed and laughed.
She probably did earn all 200 of those votes that day with her antics. After she got off her mower, she said to me, See, that's how it's done, there, Reality.
Should I worry that I'm too much of a snob in such situations?
