Ginger Sooty, GLOVE PUPPET OF DREAMS provides a daily round-up of events at the Sochi 2014 Olympics that are, quite simply Sochi 2014.
Well Folks – What A Day!
Canada beat the USA in the Women’s Ic Hockey. Go heavily padded and helmeted girls!
Britain got a bronze in the women’s curling!
Tony Blair offered his services to the Ukrainian Government after he spotted a kindred spirit in President Yanukovich and his boss “Nipples” Putin. GFB says, “Good on yer Tone, where there is state sponsored terror there is a pound!”
A bunch of old lads got together and won the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist-Curling! If only these lads could make a clean sweep of things today!
A couple of sports to look out for.
1. Fried Food Half Pipe – Marvel at Frenchman, Serge Hohehon’s ability to catch a variety of battered foods whilst performing spins, somersaults, back flips and gurning along the half pipe. His three hop bouncing samosa (with pike) needs to be seen to be believed.
The tasty savourys will be launched by American acting legend Patrick Duffy. Pat has very strong wrists and so is suited to flinging fried foods. He will be wearing the swimming trunks he wore in The Man From Atlantis to add a bit of “showbiz” to the event.
2. Ice Pluckery
You are blindfolded and nailed to a spinning wheel. For twenty four hours you are spun and forced to listen to Roseanna by Toto, after which you watch the entire back catalogue of Adam Sandler’s films. Twice.
You then have all your body hair removed by sandpaper, vilified by the cast of Hair and Ernie will bore you senseless about his feet and love of tuna fish sandwiches.
This is Set 1 of Ice Pluckery. There are a further 17 Sets which contain even more cruel and unusual tests of endurance, patience and brain function including; The Braying Banker, Ironing Jelly, “Roger Moore Can Act – Discuss” and a personal favourite – finding the positives in the singing voice of Yoko Ono.
Belgium’s Beatrice Molde is favourite for Gold.
Enjoy The Games!

Ginger Sooty has the Games! Yay!
After all this excitement, one wonders how Ginger Sooty keeps going til the next Olympics.
He comes home has a quick dry rinse and then has a long sleep amongst my socks

She’s been disqualified again!
Yes but did you see the replay? Sad… and She is fast, and had a good chance.. Just wasn’t meant to be..
4 years time!
🙂 🙂 a lot of work slipped away today… 🙂
Very well covered GFB! Have you considered giving Red Eye Bob Costas a go for his job whilst he gets rid of the herpes?
Just heard of him today Wally!
Pin the Ice-axe on Trotsky’s head would be a good commie themed game.
A hard left version of piñata!
That Putin pic is going to haunt me forever.
Sorry Hook!
Had to be done.
Cold truth.
Duffy and Putin should have much to talk about together?
Stylish Eyelash Curling – a must do sport? Will steal audience attendance from ice dancing
They both advocate trunk wearing to cure all manner of ills. Eyelash curling will be massive!
Looking back at this post, I realize that I should’ve hedged my bets on the Fried Food flinging, backing any Texans competing therein. Not only is Fried the National Food of Texas, but it’s said that there isn’t a single edible item that Texans won’t eventually feature deep fried at the state fair, and yes, scant few inedibles that won’t be tried that way too. Cultural mastery, don’t you know. They’ll give the Scots a run for their greased-based food groups money any day.
My brother lived in Texas for a few years and married a Texan gal. She is a health freak but did deep fry hummus once. Must be genetic.
