This NY Times article profiles the latest popular fad in Austin: Texas women’s Roller Derby!:

Leave it to Austin, which prizes its weirdness, to foster this contagious blend of high performance sport and campy theatrics called not games but bouts, fought on traditional four-wheel skates. And to field the two feuding leagues – the Texas Rollergirls (www.txrollergirls.com) and the TXRD Lonestar Rollergirls, also known as Bad Girl, Good Woman (www.bggw.com).
This is, at the very least, extreme roller skating, heavy on attitude and light on attire, the better to bare breathtaking tattoos. Social scientists may scratch their heads over the emergence of a new form of staged violence by macho women, but to the players, who don’t get paid, it’s easy to explain: it’s fun.
“It’s kind of like hockey in lipstick and fishnet stockings,” said Lacy Attuso, 27, a computer publicist who goes by the rink name of Whiskey L’Amour. (Whiskey because she drinks it, she said, L’Amour from the Western writer Louis L’Amour.)

It’s hot in Houston right now, so thoughts turn toward ice cream. But not these Japanese ice cream flavors. Hat tip to my nephew Richard for the link, I think. ;^)
