Here's where Terminal City's Riot Girls answer all of your burning questions! (Questions about your burning should be directed elsewhere.) Got a good one that didn't get covered? Email us!
WHAT'S THE STORY BEHIND YOUR NAME?
Coming up with a name is easy. Getting a name approved is the hard part. On the deadline for name submissions and after having tested at least a dozen at Two Evils with no success, I was on a teleconference at work when my Director used the expression "hit and miss". Voila. A little play on the words and it was mine.
WHAT'S THE STORY BEHIND YOUR NUMBER?
Better brush up on your history.
HOW MANY SEASONS HAVE YOU PLAYED?
Just wrapping up the first!
WHAT POSITION DO YOU PLAY?
Jammer primarily, but I'll do anything.
WHAT DREW YOU TO DERBY?
Oh so many things! I'm a washed up jock, so mostly the athletic challenge, but the action packed technicolour ruckus of it all was a definite pull as well. Motley Crusade-her once described derby as what happens when the jocks, the gay girls and the punk rockers get together and make up a game. Who in their wrong mind could resist?!
WHAT'S YOUR BEST DERBY STORY?
I'll plead the fifth on that one.
WHAT'S THE MOST NON-DERBY THING YOU DO?
I guess it's a toss up between curl and can.
SUPERMAN'S A MILD MANNERED REPORTER. BATMAN'S A MILLIONAIRE PLAYBOY. WHAT'S YOUR SECRET IDENTITY UP TO WHEN YOU HANG UP THE TIGHTS?
I work for a funding agency that supports research in science and engineering.
WHO WOULD PLAY YOU IN THE MOVIE OF YOUR LIFE?
If it can't be me and Tank Girl isn't available, it would have to be the honey badger.
CAN YOU DRAW ME A PICTURE?
Yup, but I'd rather bake you a cake.
YOU JUST WON A MILLION DOLLARS. WHAT DO YOU DO?
Pay off a few bills, take a vacation, make a few investments for the long term and then start looking into that apartment in Paris I always wanted...You Soldiers of Awesome don't mind skating on the champ de mars, do you?
IF I COULD OPEN UP YOUR BRAIN AND DIRECT DEPOSIT A NEW SKILL, WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE?
Fluency in every language.
DO YOU HAVE A SIGNATURE KARAOKE SONG?
Lucky for you, no. My singing will make your ears bleed, but I can work a mic like nobody's business.
IF YOU HAD A PERSONALIZED MARTIAL ART, WHAT WOULD IT BE CALLED?
Mega-pow!
WHAT'S THE BEST PART OF BEING A RIOT GIRL?
Gestalt, my friend, gestalt.
