Ginger Sooty, GLOVE PUPPET OF DREAMS provides a daily round-up of events at the London 2012 Olympics that are, quite simply London 2012.
We are still basking in the glow of Sir Bradley of Wiggins Gold medal triumph! The sideburns of destiny have certainly done the trick.
You may have read about the Chinese, Korean and Indonesian Badminton players disqualified for trying not to win their games. I’ve had shuttlecock trouble in the past too! Penicillin sorted that one out! Not bad for a glove puppet.
I visited the water polo yesterday too. It’s an old gag but worth it.
A couple of sports for you to look out for today.
1. The Big Lad Lollop - Watch out for the Mongolian 7 footer Mangang Sorghum attempting to win his third straight Gold.
2. Fish Tickling - The Aquatic Centre will be teeming with fish life today as the qualifying heats gets underway. The favourite for gold is Poland’s Zgbniew Zaplinski, the only man who has achieved the holy grail of fish tickling by managing to get a guffaw out of a Koi Carp (a very shy fish). His main challenger will be from Italy’s Maureen Ambrosiani. Her digitally dextrous exploits with Rainbow Trout are the stuff of fish tickling legend.
Enjoy The Games!

The pic is priceless! Meanwhile, any word on Olympian ginger Grunt Humpininner?
Never heard of him! What sport?
Individual tug of war.
I’ll be wearing a salmon on my head in honor of today’s events.
That’s the spirit! I predict fish tickling to be the hit of the Games!
That poor horse…….I am still laughing………
Don’t worry Andra he is in a stable condition.
I wonder if those flippers help or hinder a horse’s swimming capabilities and if having 4 of them would be a pain in the ass.
Hinder I imagine – can you imagine a horse with a shoe horn? Just imagine that and then realise how difficult it is for them to fit the flippers!
Imagine, I’ve been tickling fish for years and have never made the coveted Olympic team. Better get my ticklers up to snuff in preparation for the next games…
It takes years of dedication and tickling – I suffer from ticklers finger as a result of my exertions.
In honor of today’s fish tickling events, I’ve decided to have fish for dinner – not the winning tickled fish, as it is a long way for them to fly just for dinner, but a nice snapper though snapper tend to be a bit grumpy but I’m hoping the fish tickling events will lighten the snapper up a bit.
Whatever tickles your fancy Sandy! Cod love a tickle though.
[...] his great wit, Ginger Fightback (a visitor here) is providing outstanding Olympic posts like this one (the pic alone is worth seeing). Comment and tell him I sent [...]
I’ve been following Mangang Sorghum on twitter…..you wouldn’t believe the amount of training he’s put into this event.
Dedication brings rewards – he got the gold!
Haha.
A Frank Angle sent me. Glad he did. I’m getting more olympics from blogs than I am from tv.
Hello! Glad you are enjoying the nonsense!
