Hello
I'm wearing an apron and a hoodie. How many points do I lose? It has come to my attention that the upcoming Winter Olympics in Vancouver will be going on while the show is on air.
The downside of this is the possibility of losing some listeners to the Luge final. The upside (?) is the chance to launch another stupid punning thread. The theme is... the Winter Olympics.
So that's snow, ice, Skiing, Ice Hockey, Bob, ski jumping, slalom, skeleton and... well you'll have to look up the rest, all presenting potential for stupid musical puns.

It does't have to be about the Luge of course.
Carry on if you wish.

For me, the winter olympics will begin this afternoon with the Toyota downhill. I shall walk by the side of Amanda's Yaris in case I have to prevent the event from becoming a slalom. The most hazardous part of the course is the notorious dog-leg with parked cars, in particular a new Golf that belongs to a very nice couple so we're keen to avoid contact. Mind you, if we end up trashing their neighbour's Audi TT I may snigger.

Unfortunately, the snow is melting so no sledging at the weekend. Oh well, at least I won't have to rummage in the cupboard for the arnica.

Saturday evening we watched some ski jumping and I had a pad ready on which to write down some useful jargon for punning. Unfortunately, the only phrase I felt like committing to paper was "paralysing tedium". I think you could edit out most of the stages in a ski jump without losing anything meaningful as one bod skiing down a slope looks much like another, as does a bod flying through the air trying not to get his skis crossed or stuck up his nose, or whatever. The only part where you can see a difference is in the landings, so they might as well just show those or perhaps show the faces of the participants just before they start so you can bet on whether their physical features (long Concorde-like nose, large ears, fubbery lips) will help or hinder their chances of building up speed or hanging in the air. Better still, dress them up as clowns or send them down the slope at very short intervals so they may overtake each other, or even lash two together as in a three legged race. Anyway, we gave up and put on New boots and panties (the album).
