Roller Party Naming Contest

Mon, 11/17/2008 - 11:55am by Andy

 

We're bereft of ideas, so we're asking for your help. We have a roller party coming up in December, and we need a catchy name for it. Here's the details:

 

Date: 12/9

Location: Irish Rogue, 356 West 44th Street

Special Guest: Christian VandeVelde

Sponsor: Pacifico beer

The Cause: A benefit for the CRCA junior program

Names we've rejected: Goin' Rogue, Rogue Nation, The Bailout

What we'd like: A name that makes it clear it's a roller race while still being cute and clever (like Schmalz), one that lends itself to a Toto poster.

What you get: A free entry to the party

 

Give us your ideas!

 

Also, classified ads are free and now linked up on the homepage. Easier than eBay, and you won't have to box and ship if you sell locally.

maybe this is unintended irony, but why is there an ad for the "rolling machine" from smokingsmart.com on here? look at the box on the right of this webpage, some sort of google ad.

Toto is racing down a stock chart from Dow 14000 to 5000 on his tricycle with money bags on the back when he hits a bump and flies into the air landing on his head and cracking open his helmet which turns out to be filled with egg yolk. Disturbing? Who said comedy was pretty photo-shop boys?

  • Favorite argument -

    In reflecting on Sunday's race at Harlem, I came to the conclusion that turn one of that course is my favorite turn in bike racing.

  • Mastering Athletic Demons -

    As competitive cyclists we devote enormous amounts of time and energy to training and physical preparedness, probably more than athletes in most other sports.
