Dog Blog, Who blew out the Olympic torch?

Molly The Wally and the Olympic torch.


Who blew out the Olympic torch or was it a malfunction?


The flame of the malfunctioning Olympic torch extinguishes itself, burning out after three days and 115 miles. Anyone got any matches? The £495 manufacturing cost for each torch is eye watering and the silly things look more like a cheese grater or a space age ‘Walls Cornetto’ ice-cream. Hope the fault won’t mess up the prices on eBay. With the Olympic slogan 'Higher, Faster, Stronger' I don't think they were referring to the eBay bidding process! I'm surprised that 'Elf and Safety allowed this dangerous relay event! In Devon on Monday to make matters worse spectators heard the thud, thud, thudding and eagerly applauded the oncoming torch bearer. Sadly they discovered that it actually was a young brunette shoplifter, holding aloft a bottle of rosé and being pursued down the centre of the street by two assistants from the local Co-op. You could not make it up! Sixteen vehicles, 28 police guards moving around for 70 days and covering 8,000 miles, the fuel-guzzling Olympic torch convoy is on its’ way. Leaving a giant muddy carbon footprint, it will be causing traffic jams in a town near you soon. I’ve been limbering up getting ready for the big occasion, thirsty work this getting in shape. Follow the flame and get some fame!

  1. Molly, my mum and dad heard about the shoplifter and the wine, they thought it sounded a lot more exciting than this flame thing! Mum is having an Olympic Free Zone on her blog....wonder why.

    1. Hi William , don't blame your mum for having an Olympic free blog. I'm currently practicing the sprint, by seeing how fast I can dash to my food bowl , currently world champion at ten seconds , two seconds off yesterdays time. Going for gold!

  5. GGGrrrr we are so upset at the ecological cost of this stupid relay... When you think that they have the audacity to call that "green olympics"... We (the dogs) should all gang up and run behind them bitting their trousers! Maybe the torch will make it faster then!!!

    1. Hi The Danes , I thought they got it wrong and we should have had celebrity relay with each runner being voted off before the flame changes hands. We could have called it 'Flame Factor' and made Seb Cost A lot' some money to put back into the kitty.

    1. Hi 3 Doxies and how goes it! Trust me you are lucky , you get commercials , we get walk to work as forget public transport , tickets you can't buy , forget going into town for 8 weeks , security on maximum , prices have gone through the roof on anything tourist related and lastly an build up which is a farce. However we may do the sports thing right which is what it is about. Sadly the organisers forgot that bit.

    1. Hey Furries , don't laugh out so loud , it can be arranged , you are so my friends and as a gesture of goodwill and peace and friendship I will send it to you. The torch will be yours for the little sum of 3 bones , 2 toys and assorted licks, but trust me even that is too higher price.
