Grandma Hung Her Skates

By TXRD Newsroom December 19, 2016

Thanksgiving brings a stuffed bird, relatives, and Thundercloud’s Turkey Trot. Then there is that day of the crazies, Black Friday. After that: Christmas. What does Christmas bring? Yes, ham, more relatives, and glittering gift paper…. BUT – Christmas brings TXRD’s Holiday Underground Bout!

 

Any derby fan knows, the span of time between Halloween and New Year’s can be a long, derbyless time. TXRD aims to quench the thirst for full-contact, 8 wheels-on-the-banked-track action. This year, we wet your whistle with a forever favorite theme: Grandma’s vs Reindeer. There were several versions of the song created, many mumus donned the track, and even a hoof print here or there.

 

Our granny’s came armed with their Werther’s candies and wadded Kleenex, but it wasn’t quite enough for those wicked reindeer and their sharpened horns. One mumu-clad blue-hair fell to her knees, but all that could be heard from the center of the track: “We don’t need yer stinkin’ ice, we got Life Alert, honey! Someone push her button!!”

 

The Granny’s have hung their skates and returned to the kitchens, the reindeer have wandered back to the sleigh, and TXRD wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas!
