On the Tour Bus.. Maybe Gnome has become a Tour Bus Fluzzy.. nononononono. One clue is the photo titled "Learning Barry Tunes", There are hundreds of Barrys, Barry Williams aka Greg Brady, Dave Barry, Barry Manilow, Boo Berry, Barry White... The list is huge.
Is he working for one of them now? Did they raise his minimum wage?. Maybe he is being forced to do it.. THOSE BASTARDS..AAARRGGRHH LEAVE HIM ALONE...Bring him Back to me..
So I am sniffing around the intrawebs trying to find some T.V. I might like. You see, I usually only have an hour or 2 to watch T.V. at night. When I am eating dinner.
I am thinking about getting rid of my satellite. You can find so many T.V. shows online now that I don't really need cable or satelitte. In my search for a good show I came across this..(no pun intended)
A SHOW CALLED "HUNG" on HBO. Now I cant watch it online so I probably wont , but the WIKIPEDIA description is just plain AWSOME..
"a struggling high school basketball coach who uses his large penis to his advantage"
This gnome has grown and mastered the art of getting under dresses. Now this is either him under a dress or he has put some poor girl "in a family way". HE WONT HELP YOU SUPPORT IT. HE IS A DEAD BEAT GNOME.
Look how gnome is operating now. HE WAS INNOCENT...INN-OOO-CENT, I tell you. What have you done to poor baby gnome. They say "don't hate the player, hate the game" but it is hard not to hate the game when a dirty dead beat one eyed wonder gnome is the player.
----
Does she even know he is there? or is it does she even GNOME he is there. watch your drink lady, its gonna be a long night.
that is all the e-mail said.. my poor poor baby gnome.. He is either being eaten or breathed hard upon,,, whatever the case.. he is being tortured... agghhhhh
"Dad: I think my kidnapper likes me. She's been taking good care. Sometime today while riding around with her I fell out of my cup holder causing a cut on my head (see below). It was worse. She stitched me up though. That's why I think she's taking a liking to me. She takes me everywhere. Feeds me. Talks to me. It's not so awful being kidnapped. She said we are going for pizza later too! I sure do miss you though."
Sometime during this weekends festivities my gnome (called "baby gnome" by the kidnappers) has gone missing.
I know i was irresponsible to take him with me. Some might say that I shouldn't have left him in the car to go party. I thought that, just like kids, if you don't want to take care of them then just leave them out in the parking lot and the state will baby sit for you. Well the state wasn't fast enough and some cold hearted gnome-napper took my gnome. My poor baby gnome.
They sent this picture..
with this information "I have your baby gnome. He is on a trip to Ohio. Watch for further details."
Then this..
All it says is "Im ok - I is swimming"
I am not sure if baby gnome even knows how to type OR SWIM, what with no hands and all.
I will keep everyone informed and I know your hearts go out to me during this awful time.
I will get my baby gnome back.......PLEASE DON'T HURT or TEACH HIM BAD THINGS.
First of all, I love roller derby. Second of all, all roller derby should be on saturdays. Third of all, this game was on Sunday. Fourth of all , I should own a castle.
I rode in one of the 2 vans taking the Naptown's Warning Belles to do battle with the Roller Girls of Central Kentucky. I learned a lot on that ride, we discussed everything from movies to Cisco Adlers balls (google that but not at work).
Brownie and I were requested to help as ROCK had a new announcer as this would be his second bout. When we arrived the girls went to Health Food Store to eat before the bout. Brownie (the other 50% of 100% of the hottest roller derby announcers in indiana) and I have a tradition. We have to have a cheeseburger (with bacon if available) and BEER before we go to each bout. Luckily we found a place next to the health food store. It was a chain but it was OK and had what we needed.
ONION LOAF
AND
Mike Lightning found us and joined in for "the first ever unofficial Dill and Brownie, lexington Kentucky Pre Bout Hang Out with special guest Mike Lightning". T.F.E.U.D.A.B.L.K.P.B.H.O.W.S.G.M.L. for short.
After that we headed to the rink. When we arrived we found out that we would have to wait for a list to get in.
The list thing was soon figured out and we went in to find one of Lexington Kentucky's hidden treasures...
that's right.. a bar in the skating rink. I bet you thought I was going to say this castle.... nope.
After checking out the place we had some time to kill as we had to wait for open skate to be over..so, we went to the van and lounged. I caught video of Brownie explaining what we had done up to that point.
We finally got things going and the game had started. The announcer (Uncle Bill) was a radio DJ in his other life and so he was really good. He had a good voice and could talk without issue. After a few more bouts and getting some of the rules down, he will be great. They also were using JoeXJoe or Joe Core for an "on the floor " announcer. He is a ref by trade and only announced when a penalty or something needed to be explained. It worked out real well. I recorded the final jam. At this point the Belles had a huge lead and the home audience wasn't too cheery....
The after party was at the rink. Brownie and I, being men of invention, created the ultimate pita sandwiches..
We also interview some of the Warning Belles and the Coach..
I wanted to know if roller girls get nervous when the national anthem starts. (it's not the anthem itself that makes them nervous,,right after it s through the game begins)

We came home that night. I got in at 3:30 am and went in to open the coffee shop at 5. ugh.. i hate sunday bouts,, but I love roller derby. The girls of ROCK were cool but I didnt get to spend much time talking to them..
final score was 51 to 146 in favor of the Belle's. Naptown Roller Girls B team has had a great season so far and I can't believe how far they have come from watching them in Evensville in December.. It's a rematch coming up next month. I am so excited...
People have asked , "hey Dill, what is it like being an announcer for roller derby?" .
Well, It's hard to say everything without writing a book and having it published, collecting huge checks and going on college speaking tours, partying at said colleges and then getting more money for youe "talk". So, I will write a little bit at a time. Lets start with the dressing rooms. We, as announcers, have a high standard of fashion. With some announcers it is wigs and funny shoes, some have dofferent hats, some wear nothing at all. Brownie and I wear suits and I wear a hat. Regardless we need a dressing room. it always depends on the facility. Naptown roller girls have bouts at the state fair ground. Our dressing room is the public tiolet. State fairgrounds and public toilets add a certain jena se qua to the experience. Sheep have used these toilets.
Then we have Evansville. I will let the video do the talking
pure class. so now you have a sneak look into the dressing room life of a roller derby announcer.
I love love love Eve's Plumb.. Love them. 1990's grunge female fronted,bad ass band. So great. I own all of the music. Check it out.
Today I have had my dreams driven straight and fast into the ground. I found out that the singer re-invented herself and turned into VITAMIN C... AAAGGHHH And to push the disappointment further into my heart. This, my friends is a Graduation song...
I Hate Hate Hate Graduation songs. "wish this night could last forever,..","friends forever", "our last night",.. ugh. Although I may write my own in order to cash in. I have to learn to dance first. Oh and Vitamin C, stay away from the 80's classics.
First of all. I WANT A SNUGGIE. Never have I realized how empty and difficult my life is without one until I saw the AD. How could I have gone this long without it. Throughout history, Snuggies have been a part of everything and I didn't even noticed.
When I try to discover new bands I have not heard of, I wish I had an Emo Filter. Every band with "Emo" in the /../../emo discription, sounds the exact same. Its like a high school prom soundtrack. they all have the same guy singing and i hate it. If I wanted to listen to any of that , all I would have to do is download one album and i would have them all.....agggggggghhhhhhhhh.. THAT IS ALL.

Tried a new video editing software and it blew,,so the intro page is cut off. it wont happen again,, other crap wil happen, but not this.
It was a busy weekend. My good friends Randy and Rachael got married. I wish them luck and happiness. They are so cute together. I bet you could hire them to be live wedding cake toppers at YOUR wedding.
After that I was off to the "Dill & Brownie Pre-Bout Hang Out" Now on its second year. It was fun as usual. Tension and excitment filled the air with the anticipation of the Naptown Roller Girls 1st 3rd season bout. It is at the Indiana State Fair Grounds and it sold out. Unfortunatley Naptown did not win but the game and the over all event was exciting and fun.
