Me and my beautiful wife, Marilyn, and my special son, Rampop, worked very hard for this.
And I know I said that the Olympic Games would be great for Shuckton and give us something to be proud of, other than our rat fur industry.
Yeah, rat fur! But you know what? We don't need this to put Shuckton on the map.
You can look on your maps.
Shuckton is already on the map A small proud dot.
The thing that really counts Is family.
Family! Which is what we all are.
I blame you "Good luck - not that you need it.

Hello, Ricky.
Oh Marnie, I feel so guilty.
You keep bringing me free pizzas.
Well, some pizzas I just can't find homes for, kind of like orphans.
Sorry that I said the word "orphan," 'cause you're an orphan and I shouldn't really say the word "orphan.
" Sorry, orphan.
Don't worry, I have a sense of humour about my dark and terrible past.
Well, believe it or not, someone actually sent you these.
Right.
Someone sent me pizzas? Thank you, Marnie, it's nice of you.
And what have we been up to today? Oh, I've been busy.
You know, I slept for about 13 hours and I've been watching movies for about 11.
I think we need to do our exercise.
Can I do your legs? Okay.
All right Here we go.
You know what I've been thinking about, Marnie? No.
What? That, this winter, I'm gonna get out of the house and I'm gonna take the garden hose and I'm gonna flood a hockey rink in the backyard, and I'm gonna start skating again.
So this is the year then? Definitely.
Uh-oh Oh, excuse me.
Shaye, um, you forgot to take off my body mic.
