What if I started a motorcycle club? Note: I use “club” as a code word for “gang.” Even though I use the mantra, “Safety first!” in my role as Aunt Bobbie, and, truthfully, in every other role in my life, I have a profound desire to lead a motorcycle club. However, I would only agree to function as the leader. I would not want to involve myself in illegal activities or fast-paced street racing. I would not want to engage in any turf wars, gun fights, or hand-to-hand combat. Mainly, I want to adorn myself in the gang’s vest and drive a shiny, deep red trike with a sidecar for the Vice President, all of which would signify my role as The President of the club. No one could match my coolness! … Except perhaps the cast of Sons of Anarchy, a show I love.
I need ideas, though. What should I use as my gang’s name? What would the members of the gang use as my nickname? The first five people to offer suggestions for both in the comments section of this blog entry will receive bonus points on their blog grade for this quarter.
My new ride!
Can I join your club? I real like if I ride a motorcycle I should be in a gang I mean club. Also we (I am now in your club) would call ourselves the The ragging fire starters (arson is our favorite weapon) We (the rest of the gang members and my self) refer to you as Bone Breaker Bobby Jo (we all have incredible respect for you, and also are a little scared)
ReplyDeleteSafety first Ms. Serensky!! I think the Riders of Hierarchy would be a nice name due to this sense of class system you've created with you as their leader. Then, you have to continue your legacy as they would refer to you as "Valedictorian". This would establish your dominance over the gang and show them their place as mere minions in the group.
ReplyDeleteFirst off, when I read the first sentence I immediately imagined you as a female version of Clay from the "Sons of Anarchy" (a show that I also love!)...but much more safety oriented. I laughed. I think your gang name should be something fun, but slightly dangerous like: Bobbie's Bomb-Diggity Bike Gang. You know, a little danger juxtaposed with pure fun. Then your members and onlookers see that your gang is serious, yet likes to have a good time. When you asked about a nickname, I could not stray away from Bobby Elvis, another "Sons of Anarchy" character. Do not worry, I do not associate you with his physic or his first appearance when he must bury two dead prostitutes. Only the name reminds me of you...so your nickname: Bobbie Elvis.
ReplyDeleteMs. Serensky, for some odd reason, your desire to create a motorcycle gang does not surprise me one bit. I can perfectly picture you zooming off in a leather vest, leading a pack of speedy cyclists. As warm months of June provide the best weather for riding, you could name your gang “The-Not-So-Hummer-Summer.” Your followers could refer to you as “Lord” because we all know your delight in being titled as a God.
ReplyDeleteI think I would see your gang has more complex like the Italian mafia. This mafia group, known as the Tricanators, would obviously refer to you as the Godmother for your skill and wisdom in organizing all of your mob's profitable ventures. Furthermore a requirement for this gang would be that all members must ride a tricycle in honor of their leader. However the model must be slightly smaller than yours, for obvious reasons.
ReplyDeleteMs. Serensky I too love the show Sons of Anarachy! I would glady join your club as a prospect and work my way up the ranks, perhaps to Sergeant at Arms? As for your club's name I would suggest the Savage Saboteurs because we are a brutal club with no a penchant for misdirection. As for an intimidating name, I think something that understates your fearsome nature like Mama Bear would make the most sense. Your enemies would not know what to expect. As a side note this is the second show we both watch and it is starting to concern me a little bit.
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of this. I don't want to take the time to get a motorcycling license, so could I just ride a Vespa instead? (I have put thought in to this before.. I would look cool/European on a Vespa). And Ms. Serensky, I can help with the mothering. I have already led a crusade against the neighborhood kids who do not wear their helmets. Although we do put safety first, I think our "group" should call itself "Fortuna's Feist" so we can sound as if we are on the edge (like a mongrel dog.. aka a feist.. or maybe I just had trouble finding an alliterated word to go with Fortuna).
ReplyDeleteI laughed about this. The fact this is a well thought out plan that consumes a good portion of your day dreaming creativity highly amuses me. I think that you should consider referring to yourself as Bobbi Jo Jesus and your followers as simply "The Apostles". The gang name shoul be something fierce and intimidating yet not too overwhelming. Maybe the Tenacious Trikers.
