I'll step carefully here, because I don’t want a pack of irate rollergirls to beat me up. (Just one could do the job -- hell, half of one could do the job.) Last week, after Seattle's flat-track roller derby league the Rat City Rollergirls' opened its third season, we asked you to vote for your favorite Rat City team. There were four to choose from: The Sockit Wenches, last years' champions and a beautiful pack of speed demons; the Throttle Rockets, a hard-hitting squad of eight-wheeled Barbarellas; the Derby Liberation Front, a comely group of revolutionaries and and the Season 1 champs; and Grave Danger, those exquisite corpses and perennial underdogs. Danger placed third of four in 2005 play; last year, they came in fourth. The underworld howled in dismay.
