Is "JAM! Tales From the World of Roller Derby" not hip enough for you, DNN?

JAM is awesome

There are so many worthy items that we just ran out of time to crunch into this article, but you're absolutely right: JAM! Tales From the World of Roller Derby is worthy of singling out! Mercy Less picked up our copy while she was at PAX and it is already well-worn.

For the PodCasters

by Skatelle on 22 Dec 2010 11:51.

Derby Holidaze for all!

Here's a good one for the Derby Podcasters; The Yeti THX USB Microphone:

That IS pretty awesome!

taking a collection

by Vince Wheel on 22 Dec 2010 20:02.

I would totally chip in the get Sheeza one. Or really any mic that doesn't sound like my speakerphone from 1989. Seriously.

Jam City GC Holder

by haydenmonster on 22 Dec 2010 13:09.

The link goes to amazon.com for Wii points and not the gloriously designed card holder pdf!! I need the card holder!!

The Correct Card Link!

Jam City Card HOLDER!

by mechanodroid on 22 Dec 2010 13:31.

Behold the majesty of the Reverend Norb designed Jam City Card Holder!

Norb took time out from his busy announcer schedule including trips to the upper peninsula of Michigan and other weird places like Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin to make this glorious card holder. Feel it.

link fixed

by Hurt Reynolds on 23 Dec 2010 19:03.

Sorry about that! I was going pretty crosseyed keeping all the links and images straight.

Sea Derby!

by Blackie Braless on 22 Dec 2010 13:27.

Seriously.
Can someone make this happen already?

30 seconds was spent on

by revnorb on 22 Dec 2010 13:34.

30 seconds was spent on actual graphic design; the remaining 90 seconds was just figuring out which way the piece of paper would fold up.

UMM any chance DNN can list me next year?

by VannaDBTRiver on 22 Dec 2010 15:18.

I make awesome sleeve scrunchies (like the ones in my picture) which make great stocking stuffers! I even make handmade roller derby stockings to put them in! Check me out: vannadownbytheriver.etsy.com

I love how the aircraft

by gnosis on 22 Dec 2010 16:14.

I love how the aircraft carrier page says "Availability: In Stock". I added it to my wishlist. I wonder what the shipping cost is. Get it!?

Yeah, but ouch!

by Megatron on 22 Dec 2010 17:20.

Having served on an aircraft carrier, I can tell you that falling on that flight deck would be the most painful rink rash EVER.

Throw some plywood & sport court down though...

I can just hear a movie pitch now....

by Biff Mixalot on 22 Dec 2010 18:55.

..."See, think of it as a cross between "Whip It" and "Pirate Radio""...

Or...

by Phil on 22 Dec 2010 20:00.

...Whip It and Top Gun...

Meg-Wreck: Tower, this is Ghost Jammer requesting a skateby.
Air Boss Johnson: That's a negative, Ghost Jammer, the pattern is full.

Sea Derby: where blocking out

by Number CruncHer on 22 Dec 2010 18:33.

Sea Derby: where blocking out of bounds isn't just a penalty, it's a life and death situation...

And for halftime....

by mizzcommunication on 23 Dec 2010 03:46.

I hear Cher does killer work on carriers....

Dumpy ringtones

by ktpupp on 23 Dec 2010 01:51.

So, is there a way to buy all of the Dumptruck Ringtones at once or does a gal have to buy each one separately if she wants to hear those smooth vocal tones every time her phone rings? :P

Holy Jeebuz

by TheRev on 24 Dec 2010 07:32.

If Rollercon 2012 is on an aircraft carrier....think of the limitless possibilities!

Just to continue the ridiculousness

by Southbay on 24 Dec 2010 12:22.

If you want an aircraft carrier? We have one. Although honestly, I think Rollercon is too big for an aircraft carrier, but it might be hella fun to try.

Sad

My Chocolate Derby Truffles were not good enough to make the gift guide :( maybe the Derby valentines guide!!

true confessions of a roller derby web writer

by Hurt Reynolds on 25 Dec 2010 04:34.

There are really a lot of items that warranted inclusion, that didn't get in because I chose a layout that turned out to be laborious to mark up and I just plain ran out of time. Demi's badass Derby Truffles are a really terrific example. Lessons learned, and goals set to do better next year!

mmmm, now I want chocolate.

damn

by gil on 25 Dec 2010 12:59.

Those look yummy. I am already passing that link along. :)

Awe Thanks Hurt!!

by Demi on 25 Dec 2010 11:52.

I know there are way too many awesome gifts for Derby Peeps to include all of them!!!
