First, let's find 22 bodies first....depending on the number of participants from each group/team, you need to then determine the team name.

If the team name is Spirit of Vancouver, would there we some Extra "funding"? if so, how much.

thanks

Mike, If you didn't slip and slide you missed out, but then again, if you didn't slip and slide you probably didnt guzzle a few beers behorehand, so you really missed out.

I gotta give it to the canadians on that one...between the beer garden at Alcan and the Slip and Slide in SF you guys have all the drunken fun covered.

c'mon over to my neck of the woods. Long Beach is LARD's home town, can't get much better than So Cal.

I have to say, Absolute knows how to have drunken fun.  I don't know of a Mike on the team though.
