Dave in Chicago April 19, 2016 Share April 19, 2016 (edited) So Dave needs roller derby names that somehow link Canada, photography, and pain.The obvious answer is: "Cana-Diane Arbust Some Skulls".Other candidates:Tim Hurtin's; Traumatic Shutter; Polaroid Rage; InstaSlam No Filter; Yousuf Harsh; Rack Focus; Chromatic Abrasion; Trouble Exposure; Johnny LaRuthless. If this were drag roller derby, Alanis Tourniquet. Edited April 19, 2016 by DS1077 5 Link to comment

FormerMod-a1 April 19, 2016 Share April 19, 2016 Very nice quiz, Sarah! I hope to hear this feature again, if only so that Dave can redeem himself.("SORRY") Thanks! I used less than half the possible questions, so it could easily return for Volume II. I had just put together a Game Time for ID shows! Hadn't sent it in yet though, so if you need some more titles, real and fake, for volumes II, II, IV, V or VI, let me know. Link to comment
Fukui San April 19, 2016 Share April 19, 2016 I was about to suggest Northern Exposure. Thinking this through out loud... How about Kodiakchrome? Googles. Darn, Kodiak the town is Alaskan, but it seems there are some things named Kodiak in Canada. Tried to connect mounted cameras with Mounties with little success. Hmm... How about we combine a Canadian Celebrity with a photography term? Michael J. FStop is the only one I can think of. One would think you could do something with Justin Bieber or William Shatner but the closest I can get is "William Shutter" but that doesn't scan. No famous people named "Len" that I can see, or else I'd suggest changing "Len" to "Lens". Combine the name of a famous photographer with a famous Canadian? Man Ray Borque. This one's tough. I still don't feel I have a submission I can get behind 100%. 1 Link to comment

In answer to the question about men's derby: there are now many leagues that host men's teams alongside women's teams, and host coed practices and bouts. Here in New Orleans we have the New Orleans BRASS roller derby team that is all male. <br />Welcome to the sport, and good luck! 3 Link to comment

Dave in Chicago April 20, 2016 Share April 20, 2016 (edited) Do "Bubble" as a reverse "Project Greenlight" - get a known director to agree to very lo-fi production conditions for a short film (like "The Five Obstructions"); then we get a mini documentary on their process AND the resulting project. Could be one project per season or several directors assigned to different kinds of restrictions. It could be like "Chopped" for filmmaking, where they never know what required ingredients are in the mystery box.I could also see "Side Effects" as a modern anthology series in the style of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents", every episode is a new suspense/thriller/murder mystery.

April Bloodgate April 21, 2016 Share April 21, 2016 Hi, Dave. Fellow derby player here. (I wanted to be April Bloodgate, but there are several skaters already using that name. I ended up not using any pop culture references and went with Moxie McGillicut-her.) Derby names are one of my favorite things to ponder, but my knowledge of photography terms is somewhat limited, so I doubt I'll be much help. But I love seeing what others come up with. I do have general advice though. 1) Keep it short. Printing longer names onto uniforms is a pain, as I'm now finding out. 2) Think about how the name will be shortened by your teammates. Most of the time teammates will refer to you by a 1-2 syllable abbreviation of your name during game play, so try to avoid things that will get shortened into something awkward. Also, what's your team's name? 1 Link to comment
David T. Cole April 21, 2016 Author Share April 21, 2016 Also, what's your team's name? The proper team is the Waimea Wranglers Rough Rollers but I'm not sure the co-ed team skates under that name. 1 Link to comment
Carrie Ann April 21, 2016 Share April 21, 2016 (edited) This only includes one of the three things you suggested, but then you said non-Dave-first-names don't work, and I thought of this and it made me laugh: Dave Wreckening. Edited April 21, 2016 by Carrie Ann 2 Link to comment
Kip April 21, 2016 Share April 21, 2016 Zack effin Snyder. Yah, I know your saying to yourself he's a "movie" director that doesn't count, but then I think of all the times he has shown up in special about comics and I just have to turn it off as my mood goes from great to pissed off. Even people talking about him can put me into a rage spiral usually around the lines of "Well that was as good as Watchmen could have been done, so faithful..." or "What else was Superman going to do, he had to kill the guy".

Maria April 22, 2016 Share April 22, 2016 Donald Smotherland (or Keifer, for that matter) is pretty awesome. I agree with Tim Hurtin' or Dave Reckoning/Wreckening. Also everything April and villainelle said. Men's derby is growing by leaps and bounds, but many/most men's leagues are affiliated with women's and enjoy coed practices and scrimmages. Derby is expensive, so sharing practice space and time works out! The true coed leagues generally skate under a different ruleset (now called MADE), which features alternating periods of men and women playing, but a cumulative score. 1 Link to comment
