On that note, I don't recall seeing Dumptruck and Jeff in the same room at any given time. Hearing, yes, but not seeing. I think they might be the same person.

...except when we add an "r" where it doesn't belong. See following example.

I thought putting an "R" in weird places was more specific to New York. I dated a guy whose mother was from Boston, and in the 4 years we were together, I don't think I ever heard her put an "R" in anything. But most of my family lives in NYC, and as a child, I went a couple years thinking my cousin's name was "Thereser" because the only time I ever heard an "R" sound come out of my aunts' and uncles' mouths was when they called her name.

While I have your attention, I have a really burning question for you: as a pig, how do you feel about Bacon Salt being the official condiment of GGRD?

NYC vs. BOS

Submitted by Bottle of Smoke on October 18, 2008 - 12:58am.

Bizarre dialects\accents are just one of many things Bostonians and New Yawkers have in common, although we don't like to admit we have anything in common with NYC and vice versa.

NYC says "pork your cor" BOS says "pahk yuh cah"
NYC says "corfee" BOS says "cawfee"
NYC says "toidy toid street" BOS says "whaddyafuckinretahded?"

By the way, bacon salt and MAYONNAISE are excellent condiments especially on ice cream, cornflakes and BLT's. I can overlook GGRD's choice of bacon salt because they are the Punk Rock Queens of the Derby world, along with those Texas girls, the Deadly Kennedys.

Also because bacon salt does not in fact contain bacon.

Nor do Bac-Os. That didn't

Nor do Bac-Os. That didn't stop my fifth-grade teacher from freaking the hell out when I made a replica of a farm for a school project, and the little plastic pig was eating Bac-Os out of his little plastic feeding trough.

Bacon Salt, GGRD, and google ads

Submitted by Professor Murder on October 27, 2008 - 1:14pm.

I saw a google text ad the other day: "Bacon Salt: The Official Condiment of Gotham Girls Roller Derby."

Woah. You know you've hit the big time when your sponsorship mentions you in a google ad.

Everything SHOULD taste like bacon.

Submitted by anna wrecksya on October 27, 2008 - 1:33pm.

I saw the ads and went to the grocery store and bought some. It tastes salty and smoky but not necessarily bacon-y. Someday I'll try the original flavor and maybe that will be more bacon-y.

And the other day they were advertising on the radio. Apparently, Bacon Salt is taking over.

For some reason, roller derby girls love bacon

Submitted by gnosis on October 27, 2008 - 2:38pm.

For you marketing types, Ad Week has a feature right now about Bacon Salt that mentions the GGRD sponsorship.

Being a vegetarian, I've not had much desire to try Bacon Salt (though I'm now hearing that it doesn't actually contain any meat). I've heard mixed reviews.

Talk about offtopic...is anyone moderating this site? POWER SALT!

All this talk of bacon salt makes me thirsty! Since we're WAY off topic I present this video beerpig of my big brother drinking a beer to get the taste of bacon salt and the Boston Massacre's last second loss to Caroliner out of his mouth. Trust me it's not pretty.

There are different flavors

Influencing the young-uns

So I was just over at my drummer's house and he had an Apple TV hooked up to his 72" flat panel. He brought up the vid and just as soon as Dumptruck said "Power Jam" his 2 year-old boy perked up and yelled "Power Jam!". And he did it everytime Dumptruck said it! They couldn't understand why I was laughing uncontrollably!

Schlenkerla should be the official afterparty beer of roller derby. It's like liquid bratwurst, and it's a helluva lot better than the official afterparty song of roller derby.
