As Promised! Here are the lyrics to my parody of Last Kiss: 

Where oh where can my pivot be?

Take this helmet cover away from me

I’ve got it in my hand, I’d like to be good

By completing the star pass as the rules say i should

I rolled out on my skates with my jammer star

The score is neck to neck- it’s really bizarre

There on the track, straight ahead

The blocker wall is stopping me dead

I couldn’t whip, so I look to my right,

However to get to my pivot in sight?

I’m screamin' for help, I can’t get through the pack

I need my pivot to complete a star pass.

Where oh where can my pivot be?

Take this helmet cover away from me

I’ve got it in my hand, I’d like to be good

By completing the star pass as the rules say i should

We must stay up, in play, and in bounds,

The ref’s calling penalties all round,

Feeling the burn, deep in my thighs,

And somehow I found my pivot stripe,

I waved at her head, she rushed to me and said,

“Give me the cover for a little while!”

I did not throw, so I won’t ruin this,

This pivot-jammer metamorphosis.

We’re both in bounds and I know we’re both upright

And the jammer status goes to pivot tonight!

Where oh where can my pivot be?

Take this helmet cover away from me

I’ve got it in my hand, I’d like to be good

By completing the star pass as the rules say i should 

In this Episode, Ovary Actor discusses section 4.5 of the WFTDA rules and casebook. You can find these rules at www.WFTDA.com

Here's what Not So Suave has to say: 

"Yep, that's what happens when a skater gets too many penalties."

In this episode, Ovary Actor goes over the way penalties are enforced for both blockers and jammers and she reads the casebook scenarios associated with these rules. 

Here's what Not So Suave has to say:
"I do not envy the Penalty Box Timers. God Bless them! I think they have one of the most complicated officiating positions there is."

Learn about how penalties are enforced is this episode of Official Timeout! section 4.4 of the WFTDA rulebook. 

Here's what Not So Suave has to say:
"I'm shocked that Ovary Actor hasn't plugged her artwork instagram, @ThatSlatteryGirl, yet." 

In this episode Ovary Actor discusses section 4.3 of the WFTDA rulebook regarding Misconduct. 

Ovary is also thinking that Wednesdays will be a better day for her to launch each new podcast. 

Here's what Not So Suave has to say:
"Ya know, I'm really impressed with your dedication to this whole thing. You're good at talking, so I'm not surprised."

In this episode, Ovary Actor discusses penalties associated with the interference with the flow of the game. 

Here's what Not So Suave has to say:
"Ovary.... I haven't had time to listen to your podcasts yet. I don't know why you keep asking me for a quote."
