Peanuts by Charles Schulz for September 20, 2018

But Linus did it so that you wouldn’t make a fool out of yourself at the roller derby!

Lucy: Slinks out stage left!

Reminds me of the opposite of the Sheldon Silverstein poem about inviting the narrator to skate.

They still got roller derby???

There are such things as women’s hockey leagues, aren’t there?

She could join an Figure Skating Synchro Team. But she’s too bossy to get along with the other skaters and coach.

Back when Styx’s “Mr. Roboto” tour was on, my husband & I were going in with another couple to rent a limo & make an evening of it. The other couple ended up ripping us off. I was leaving work when they came up to me to talk as my husband pulled up to pick me up. I gave them a thorough chewing out, and I was going to dramatically open the car door, get in, slam it, and say, “Let’s go.” As I went to open the door, I discovered – too late – that it was still locked! In Lucy’s words, “That ruined a dramatic exit.” (Side note: the window was down; if I had just looked, I could have pulled the button & done what I had planned.)

maybe she can join that calvin kid and his pet tiger on mars this week

You would succed as a roller blader.

Her roller derby name is Loudmouth Lucy

There used to be lots of movies with roller derbies – even some TV shows spotlighted the sport. Right now there are over 2,000 amateur leagues worldwide and it was considered for the summer 2017 olympic games.

For more info – just look up roller derby in Wikipedia. There is oodles of info there.

Lucy is more the “Rollerball” type, anyway, with the more violence the better! (Of course I mean the original movie, not the silly remake.)

I’d love to run away, but my wife won’t let me.

And now we could make our awesome escape from prison… if only the door wasn’t locked.

The Spanish version doesn’t even TRY to translate “Roller Derby.” Lucy is leaving “hacer esqui sobre pasto,” or “to ski on grass.”

What ever happened to Charlie O’Connell?…..anyone know?

Roger Miller: You can’t roller skate in a buffalo herd!
