Welcome to the league.

 Wasn't there a short-lived weekly roller derby show on some cable network a few years ago? I want to say it was on tnn?

 P.S.  Follow-up.  Is it anything like sorority house showers?

I will do these things once you quit assuming I have an English degree.

RETRACTED
 
 I just don't have it in my heart to take joy at others hardships.

Dear Julian,
 
 I respectfully request you retract the previous statement, as I am not ready to be creeped out that much now, or ever.
 
 xox,
 Miss P.

Ditto.

 I'm a big fan of the Rose City Rollers, Portland's league (#15 in the country in Division One). They've been around for going on four years, with 2008 being their third regular season. The crowds turn out for each bout in droves. It's always packed, if not completely sold out.
 
 In fact, their all-star team is playing the Charm City Rollergirls this weekend. I'll be cheering for Rose City, though.

[miss pretentious]

The refs are the only ball-related thing in the sport.
