 A technician on the failboat, monitoring the cameras for the feed of //As The Island Turns// to the waiting world outside, notices a view of Squat Hole suddenly jerk down. A view from another camera shows Maggot Braithwait taking the first, and pointing it at Big Su.
-Sewage “Big Su” Skronky comes into view on the camera screen, vaguely in focus. “Ullo wuld! This iz Sewage Skronky talkin' to you from Squat Hole. Welcum to our fair city, a city fit for the Ulumpucs!” The technician is fascinated. A bid to host the Olympics!

 The camera swings round to show Ratpiss Jenkins losing his somewhat unwise bet that he can eat twenty Scroteweed Surprises without throwing up.
-Sewage “Big Su” Skronky admires Maggot's artistic acumen. Now she thinks of it, some of the pretentious posh shites who this video is aimed at might use this against Squat Hole. They'll grasp at any straw in their bitter jealousy.

 Maggot Braithwait lets herself go with special artistic effects as the choir sings. No static shot of the choir singing here! The camera zooms in on Verruca's singing, then another close up of Outhouse's arse wafting gently as he plays.

 A procession marches its way into Squat Hole - its the opening ceremony for the Squat Hole Olympics. A spectacle to excite even the most jaded of palettes. At the front is Squat Hole's most famous, most prestigious resident - Big Su Skronky.
-Sewage “Big Su” Skronky is followed by Team Awesome showing off their rainbow hue'd acrobatics. Squat Hole's culture at its finest. Then come the teams. Leading the way is Team Skronky - made up of the rest of the family. Next comes Team Booz.

 Chlamydia Skronky has carefully assembled a team of the least athletic regulars to provide as little competition to her own family as possible. After Team Booz comes the Team Assorted Trades Squats, consisting of workers from K'N'S, the Skronky Pot and Mike's Chop Shop.

 Mud sledging involves finding an unconscious Squat, fitting as many other Squats on top of them as will fit, and then riding them down the hill as fast as possible. Other Shite Road provides a fine natural course for this.
