Monster's Brawl

Monster's Brawl. The best Halloween I've had in a very long time. The wrestling was ferocious and theatrically brutal, just the way I like it. Well done Liger, great form on those high speed elbow drops - but abandoning your tag team member in the ring to be pummelled thrice by the opposition. What a cad!

And the Pirate City Rollers put on a gruelling and gruesome show. The Hells Belles dealt to the Deadutantes 121-100. The brass fanfare goes to Lucy in Disguise who managed to score an astounding 18 points in one jam for the Hells Belles.

Sheisse Minnelli was sent off for some high flying blocking out of play (naughty girl), and Bad Jelly and Pieces of Hate both put their bodies on the line for out fair and fearsome sport. Get well soon girls!

Thrills and spills a-gore. A brilliant 31st of October.

Creep Thrills

Okay, admittedly I haven't just been typing away like a rabid baboon. Here's what I've been getting up to in my spare time. Yes, I'm the zombie in the red top hat.

The Balloons of Business

One very busy tap-typing monkey at the moment. Pulled in all different directions by the ancient Cthulian gods, Commitment and Deadline. Busy is good though, and when it's writing, Roller Derby and family, I can't really complain.

Still, this James Jean illustration sums it up nicely methinks.

Cottage Cheese: Orcland Chronicles, Episode 8

Dwine has left the soap mines and has repaired to his tree infested lair to refine and craft soap and his own tangy and twisted varieties of cheese in happy, stir-crazy solitude. Dwine hasn't been outside yet today.

All work and no play
All work and no play
All work and no play
All work and no play
All work and no play
All work and no play
All work and no play makes Dwine...

Jests, japes and chicanery. If one can have a jar of capers (Dwine has one in his magical cooling box), can one also have a jar of hi-jinx?

It's time Dwine went out and frolicked in the forest for a spell.

Necrography

Deadwin's wife is a necrographer. She embalms souls in her two dimensional tombs of paper and ink. Deadwin likes his new 2D residence. It's cosy.

Kiss Kiss Bash Bash

The Pirate City Rollers Circus of the Stars was a rolling, romping goregasm of an event. Mascara Massacre and Dead Wreckoning went for each other's throats with viscious abandon. Or viscous abandon in the case of Spew, who did some truly star jamming (14 points in one jam I believe).

Close on her proverbial tail was Skate the Muss who scored 12 points in one jam and Fia Fasi Oi who nailed 11 points. Girls, you is unstoppable.

For the blockers, I tip my hat to Big Mack and Bonnie Blaggard. Roller walls of certain doom those girls.

The evil empire, Dead Wreckoning, took out the bout. But upstarts Mascara Massacre gave them a bruising roll for their money.

Can't wait for the next bouts at Armageddon. Be there, coz we know where you live. And if we're unsure exactly, we may just nuke your suburb.

ciao bellas!
