Got a question for Auntie Terror? [email protected]

Dear Auntie Terror,

I'm constantly getting injured and it's really getting me down. Ordinarily I'd cheer myself up with some skating, but I can't do that right now. What do you suggest to perk myself up again?

Yours expectantly, Constantly Injured

Dear Constantly Injured,

Dear Auntie Terror,

Derby is ruining my relationship! My boyfriend and I are arguing about it all the time. He hates derby. He always complains that he never sees me anymore. I don’t want to stop skating but I don’t want to break up. Can you help me?

Anxiously awaiting your advice, Distressed in Derbyville

Dear Distressed,

They say that half the battle of working out is just getting to the gym. If that’s the case, I have to say that the other half of the battle is having to endure the tidal wave of super lame music that the gym plays. Let’s face it; it’s totally de-motivating, especially while I’m hard at work building my jammer-ready body. If I have to listen to Black Eyed Peas or All-American Rejects one more time, I’m going to be forced to gouge my ears out.

Voodoo Doll (aka C. Pocaressi) is a veteran (what is it, 8 yrs now?) TXRG skater, and clearly one of the funniest people you could ever know. She pulls no punches, so if your panties twist easily, this may not be the comic for you...

Editor's Note: Happy Holiday, Americans! Just because we're not at work doesn't mean you don't have something to say, and not all of our readership is in North America. With that in mind, here's an open thread for you - discuss anything you like! Which team matchups are you most hoping to see at World Cup? If you could pick a global superteam, who would be on the roster? If one league in the world was the most ideal to host an afterparty, who would it be, and why? Just some ideas, tell us what's on your mind - anything at all! GO!

I first heard of RollerCon in January of 2011 through my Amsterdam Derby friend Furrrocious. Admitted, I didn’t completely grasp the concept, but I did get ‘five days of Derby in Vegas’ and I didn’t need anything more. I got online, got a ticket (courtesy of M. who kindly let me use his credit card for this purpose) and waited for the RollerCon website to come alive.
