Yes. Everyone join FODB.  we'll eat McDonalds in between races.  what other team let's you do that?  mmmmmm......double cheeseburger specials....being rec is a good thing.  Somebody ask Captain Poop Deck (by far the craziest on the boat) how many double cheeseburgers he can eat.  Poop, you're not staying out of this one.

[Colossus]

.....and its brought back to life!!!!!    so zeph, tell me all about FODB.  you've been trying to get me to join for a while now, convince me!   after KS, you've got a tough job ahead of you.  

[Rossifumi]

haha this is funny, I'll butt in and give you every reason in the world to be the turncoat.

Zeph gives great backrubs.  You also get to chew on his Coronal Mass Ejections, fun!  I hear tell he also whispers sweet nothings into your ear during races no less.  Apparently he's also very gentle.  Hows that?

As the Brits like to say, show up, and he'll give you a free 'jolly good rogering!' as well!

colossus: in regards to spaceman's comment above, you can obviously tell that he's a repeat customer of mine.   Unfortunately for "him" (I'll leave it to your imagination as to why I put that in quotes), I still charge "him" more than my regular rate.  

Back on topic, though... FODB is a very interesting team that knows how to have fun and at the same time knows when to buckle down to be serious.  

Read back to my previous posts about race "predictions" (all the way back to last year's taiwanese festivals).   I've thoroughly ENJOYED reading everyone's "predictions" about team rankings and placings for each regatta and race, ESPECIALLY the ones after my comments.  Needless to say, I think that our results (including JDA) speaks a lot about our competitive spirit and the abilities of our coach.

Noone (but me) vouched for JDA for last year's Taiwanese festival, yet look at how far they've come in TWO years (last year being their debut junior year).   People took my regatta predictions for a joke, and look at what FODB did this year.

FODB had 2 practices a week, with about a 50-60% attendance record up until the Alcan regatta.   Not only that, but we had to recruit new paddlers just about a week before Alcan.   I'm not trying to say that we're the world's most talented team; we just enjoy every aspect of dragonboating.

To us, it's not about "winning at all costs", nor is it about "we must win our division or else..".   We have fun during our warm ups, we joke (with generous amounts of vulgarity at times) a lot both on and off the water, and we just go out fighting in the end.

Our team has grown up a lot, not only as individual paddlers learning to improve their skill, but as teammates supporting one another.   This team has no problem filling in any empty voids left behind by paddlers who've left, and even internally, politics within the team has been handled and resolved in a very mature and respectful manner where we can all say that we all resolved it TOGETHER.

Oh yes, and Team Synergy, Ruckus and BAD can tell you that we love waterfights!   We don't discriminate at who gets splashed... anytime.. anywhere on the water.
