Ah yes the glorious Saturday night roller rink where can be found the rare and beautiful hordes of teen lesbians this is where I belong these are my people
This came from a publication celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Denver Public Library back in 1989. I asked via Twitter (sadly already knowing the answer) if they still got to roller skate in the closed stacks.
Then I started thinking about how awesome a Literary/Librarian Roller Derby team would be. Some suggested names:
Pain Austin
Hurt Vonnegut
Fyodor Destroyevsky
Vladimir Knock-your-block-off (not my best)
J. D. Slaughtinger
Assault Whitman
Horror Luis Borges
Given the number of roller derbying librarians I’ve met, I get the feeling that roller derby needs to be folded into the standard stereotype of librarians.
