Could there possibly be a better way to spend a Sunday night than watching your sister-in-law school a girl in a roller skating pillow fight? The answer is obviously no, especially not if you are capping off a pretty mellow weekend otherwise. We went to a BBQ, we took a walk in the park, we slept a lot. Catching a roller derby webcast is a great way to wrap it up. Still not sure what illegal engagement actually means, but the Penalty Pillow Fight really got the crowd lit up, especially since Jesta Menace COMPLETELY DOMINATED. Shame that the Holler Rollers lost the bout, but our favorite skater was called out as an up and coming young defender.
Maybe my favorite bit though was when we saw the back of Noel's head leaning on the rail at the end of the game. Looks like a pretty fantastic spectator sport- I'll have to work on getting to a game in person, but the webcast was a good runner-up.

Also, this game contained the single strangest announcer line in broadcast history:
"The Hellcats are really dominating the pillow fights tonight..."
I laughed.
And, by the by, Illegal engagement is when you engage (hit) a girl when you are more than 20 feet away from the pack, or the 'biggest bunch of girls'. Jessie's penalty was actually that she had been hit out of bounds to the inside, and she kept blocking. You're not allowed to hit someone from the inside. You have to drop back, get on the track proper, and *then* deck them.

Being too hard core to stop playing even once you fall off the track is totally worth a pillow fight penalty.
Yay! I'm so glad you watched and liked it! That game was alot of fun, and I think I'm definitely getting better with practice. :) J(5)
