My cold dead hand...
by TheBozzer @ 22.04.2008 - 07:08:16

I know, it's been a while. My only excuse is I've been running with the Olympic Torch. Yes, it's been me dodging all those demonstrators. I know it looks like different people are being jostled by those short  folks from Tibet but all I can say is I've been heavily made-up for each running session. I've become quite friendly with Lu Chow, Wang Shi and Chou Pastri, those chaps from China who are usually more at home giving protestors a cattle prod or two in Wangzni Province but who are now resplendant in their Olympic running gear. Pastri even let me hold his pistol the other night - it's bigger than it looks.
Talking of guns, I know I haven't mentioned the demise of Charlton Heston, the actor who liked to shoot and once said he'd only hand the weapon over if it was forcibly taken from his, "cold dead hand". I imagine God asked for it at the gate.
Anyhow, can't stay long, must dash. Honestly, this torch caper is a really inexpensive way to see the world, but you do have to run everywhere.
Now, GONE is back too. Latest instalment is here: http://kingcoultas.blog.co.uk/

You must find it irritating being told over and over again like a child how to light those flaming altar thingies whenever you meet the local worthies. Do they have to hold your hand each time? Tell me, do they really just use a Zippo lighter just before you get off the plane every morning?

We don't use a Zippo, usually it's petrol soaked rags, but only if we can get to the monk before he lights up.

Outrageous suggestion !

A Zippo to light the sacred flame of the LOLympics ?

I was under the impression that it is lit by the burning desire in our hearts and minds for world unity through chucking javelins...

Tsk...

You can always try burning desire but the Zippo is usually more reliable, I find.
