Danja

Why this derby name and number?
It's Dana with a j! 911 is one number you will never forget. So...this guy Mikey made the nickname for me at this bar I used to work at. He said the shots I made were "danjarous" thus the song "Danger" by Mystikal...Danja...get on the floor..."No sweat, no blood, no tears. And if I tell you it's the sh**! Then BI*** THAT‘S WHAT IT IS!" Ironically that's exactly how I feel about derby.
