Sooo... many a thing has happened in our tiny little sector of badass-ness. AKA Roller Country/Dakota City/Humboldt. We won a few, lost a few. Started a proper Jr. League. Adopted the Householder family. A couple of serious injuries and some big changes trying to keep up with WFTDA. After a bout that was full of "What the crap"s and "Seriously!?!"s, we lost our composure for a bit and possibly made some enemies BUT we sprang back as always. Because we are girls. And that's what girls do.
Humboldt decided to lay down the law while we skated main street looking for sponsors in a town that does not fully appreciate our sport (yes im calling it a sport. problem? call 1-800-politicallycorrectnazi). Inline skates, skateboards, and bikes are not allowed on the sidewalks of main, so our quad skates and strollers full of small children were told to vacate to make safe the streets of Humboldt for all of the 2 elderly women shopping at the time. Though we obliged, you have not seen the last of us, Storefront Owners!
Catching up with 2 months of Girl of the Month we have chosen Miss Behavin' for March and Banzai Buffy for April. Great work, ladies!

April 2012- Banzai Buffy #33
Pale Burnhardt: How long have you been skating? Banzai Buffy: It had been 10years, before I started derby. I used to take my son and skated when I was a teenager. PB: What do you skate on? BB: R3s with Poisons. PB: Do you know how many traffic lights (not stop signs) are in Humboldt? BB: ohh... 8 or 10? PB: I don't know either. I think 7 or 8. Can you name at least on of Jupiter's moons? BB: hmmm... No. | PB: It's ok. I was scrolling through Netflix while thinking of questions. Flipped past Titan AE. That's where I got that question from...moving on! What did you want to be when you were little? BB: A singer. Yep. Drove my parents crazy because I was always singing. PB: If you got a tattoo, what would it be and where? BB: I would say a butterfly. I know that doesn't really sound...But that's what I like. A butterfly on the small of my back. And I would actually get it. I was going to on my 40th birthday. But maybe on my 45th. I was going to have Kevin make something up for it. I just haven't found the right one yet. PB: Have you ever won a trophy? BB: Yes, basketball. And an MVP here in roller derby. At the Nightmare on Oak St home bout back in October. PB: Congratulations! Trophies... accomplishments.. retirement. Where would be your ideal place to retire? BB: Arizona. My sister lives there. I love the weather. It's beautiful. I like the dry heat. PB: What genre of books do you read? BB: I love mysteries. Any kind. Older ones can be kind of boring though. | PB: You got seriously injured a few weeks back in Norfolk and have been benched since. Yet you have made it to every single practice and every single bout. What is your drive? BB: Well I thnk if you are not at practice there is so much you can miss. Even if Im not skating, I am listening to the new plays and things you girls are learning. Hopefully, it won't be too hard to come back.... PB: I really like that. Its cool to know you care about this that much. When you bake cookies, who do you bake them for? Pass time or please people? BB: For people to enjoy them. Also, they are my favorite dessert. There is no cookie I won't eat. Except molasses. PB: When you get sent to the penalty box in a bout, what's going through your mind? BB: I've only been in the box once. It was during the October home bout. For taking my mouthguard out in play. I was just so nervous. It was my first bout. PB: If you could pull off one really amazing move during a bout, what would you do? BB: I'd just like to recieve a between the legs whip. I don't have the balance for that... |
March 2012- Miss Behavin #3
Pale Burnhardt: How long have you been skating? Miss Behavin: I used to skate when I was little. Like 3. Until around 8 when we moved from Fort Dodge. Then derby since November 2010. PB: What do you skate on? MB: Riedell Vixens with Radar Flat Outs. PB: Why are manhole covers round? MB: The first word that popped in my head was submarine. Random as heck question! PB: Yes. Yes, it was. What is the nicest thing you've done for someone? MB: Trying to think of who I've done nice things for....the coolest thing i've done is take Brad to a meteor shower for a date. | PB: What a fun idea! I like that! Now, you've admitted to not eating vegetables, but do you eat fresh fruit? MB: Yes. I love fresh fruit. Especially mandarin oranges. The kind in the can with juice, not syrup. And grapes. I love grapes. PB: what color would you paint the front door to your dream house? MB: Blue. Sky blue. I have a whole vision of a coutry home, wrap-a-round porch. Blue doors and shutters. Swing, hammock, everything. PB: What is under your bed? MB: Wrapping paper, probably dirty clothes. Mostly Brad's crap. Reciepts, papers.... PB: If you could have any job, what would it be? MB: I've always wanted to be a National Geographic Photographer. You get to travel and see the world. It just sounds like an amazing job. PB: What is your favorite time of day? MB: When I'm awake for it, dawn. No matter what time of year, it is beautiful. | PB: Each Disney princess has a "color". Like Belle is yellow, Cinderella is blue...What color would you be if you were a princess? What would be your name? MB: Probably purple. I always really like it. When I was a kid, I always liked Victoria. So Victoria. PB: Purple Victoria, huh? Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What can you touch? MB: Air. PB: If a stranger friend requests you on Facebook, do you accept? MB: First, I check to see who they are. If we have any friends in common..But if I can't find a connection, then no. PB: What is the best prank anyone has ever pulled on you? MB: Ohh...goodness...uhmm.. It was April Fools. I didn't know it. My friend was pregnant but had had a miscarriage. I didn't know. So she had showed me some ultrasounds and convinced me she was pregnant for a whole week. |
