Alright guys, Rollover is in about an hour and 10 minutes. When it is officially 12:00 a.m. (my time), the DPC Olympics will commence. Good luck to all teams, and good luck shooting. :)

I predict the colours on the winning team's jerseys will include red and white.

I think all teams should decide on their own national anthems and then have the captain submit them in the next day or two... what do you guys think?

Obviously Canada will have Blame Canada, USA with have Team America (f*ck yeah), Australia will have Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport, Germany will have something totally arthouse weird by Kraftwerk, Tropical Islands will have Dreadlock Holiday, Iceland will have Ice Ice Baby and Poland, well, I can't think of anything for Poland sorry guys. Of course us Brits will have something stoic and crap like the Dambusters tune :)

Hey, everyone, I'm really sorry, but I think I'll have to withdraw from the Olympics. I in a pretty bad funk, and I don't see it lifting enough to guarantee a shot from me every week. I'm really sorry - but I'm sure there are many Canucks in the wings.
