Why Referees and Skaters shouldn’t date
Yesterday, I proposed to Bea. She said “yes”.
That’s all for now.
The gayest thing I’ve ever put in my mouth
This past Friday, Bea and I laced up our skates and headed over to Airline Skate Center, for her Dad’s birthday party.
I haven’t laced up my skates since the last roller derby bout I reffed since I retired (they were in a bind, so I helped on one bout), which was in late May or [...]
¡Los Toros Viven!
Wow. The Running of the Bulls sure has been getting a lot of press, both locally and (inter)nationally. I had a blast doing it last year, and this year certainly did not disappoint.
I’m not going to bother writing a recap of my drunken escapades – instead I’ll just suggest you talk to Herr Googol™and post [...]
The Life of a Derby Widow
Hi, my name is Col. Panic (Ret.), and I am a Derby Widow™.
Well, not really. I came back to rollerderby for three (technically four) practices on May, to help out the Big Easy Rollergirls with their bout against Orange County. These days, the zeeba herd is thin. Henry Roll-ins and The Countess are gone, Luna [...]
First Post of the Rest of the Year
Heeeellooooooo, 2008. I of course wanted to put this up yesterday, never got around to it.
Where do I start? Howsabout a rough outline of some major-ish events since my last post (that should be individual posts themselves):
Reffed the first Jackson MS / Biloxi MS derby bout
Retired from rollerderby refereedom. Am now known as Don’t Panic [...]
Big Weekend.
As much as I hate to admit it, I think I’ll look forward to Monday, with my weekend looking like this:
Friday: Main office X-Mas party, other office X-Mas party.
Saturday: rollerderby double-header, afterparty
Sunday: Cribbage (it is extreme, yo), Saints game, Derby X-Mas party.
Busy. And I’m keeping my eyes on other football games this weekend.
Here’s what would [...]
Bicycle: A Buttdate.
Latest update on the recovering tail bone:
I can ride a bike! Hawesome.
I’m healing pretty quickly I’d say, but I can tell I still have a while to go. The act of sitting up from a lying down position still hurts (well, more like a bad ache but you get the idea), along with a number [...]
Fall down go boom
Well, this past Sunday, I reffed the Big Easy Rollergirls intraleague bout, a matchup of the Marigny Antoinettes and the Confederacy of Punches.
The bout went of pretty well, some hiccups here and there, but that is to be expected.
Somehow though, the ref squad managed to incur some losses. S’aint N.O. Lady fractured the radial head [...]
The Golden Rule.
Well, ’tis the season, right? I didn’t ask for anything this year (except gifts for kids via Child’s Play Charity, my folks and my grandma each bought the kids a Nintendo Gamecube), and as a result, didn’t get much. Works for me.
I did get one gift from my dad that’s pretty cool, and it comes [...]
Vertical stripes of #000000 and #FFFFFF
This Saturday, I again don my black and white vertical stripes. However, instead of a “custom jersey” (ie, fat sharpie lines drawn down my arms) circa the 2005 Shot Olympics, it will be a real jersey.
That’s right kids, the one and only (and registered) Col. Panic™ will be a referee for the Big Easy [...]
