Flagon says, roar! The Cuddly Olymips have started!
JigmeDatse
Oh oh oh... What sports? Will there be Pooh sticks?
Arbieroo
...Olympics...
Arbieroo
Flagon says, roaryes!
JigmeDatse
Pooh sticks is highly competitive...
Arbieroo
also, high sploshing! This is like high-diving but the idea is to make the most spectacular splash possible...
Arbieroo
JigmeDatse
: might have to have heats or groups for the Pooh Sticks then!

I'm very interested in these Olympics!
JigmeDatse
Splooshes are good. Unless someone falls in who isn't keen on it...
JigmeDatse
I don't think we need any more heats, it's already too hot.
Arbieroo
the final event is always the Glomp-a-lot, in which you chase your competitors and 
any you catch up to. Everyone wins gold...
any you catch up to. Everyone wins gold...
Arbieroo
JigmeDatse
: yes - Flagon flies high and judges the size of splashes!
Arbieroo
if anyone has any other ideas for events?
Tamsie
competitive flooping!
Arbieroo
Tamsie
: what does that involve?
🧊wotitdo🧊
JigmeDatse
Oh, competitive flooping sounds good...
JigmeDatse
Tired rabbit falling over and flopping - cutest thin...
JigmeDatse
Tamsie
Arbieroo
: Beats me, just made it up!
Arbieroo
JigmeDatse
has the answer - looks like Squiffy, Flora and Cyril would be good at it!
JigmeDatse
Rainbow is great at flooping.
Arbieroo
JigmeDatse
: 
sef_lopod
also practised flooping.
sef_lopod
my monitor lizard is quite good at it.
Arbieroo
is your moniter lizard cuddly?
sef_lopod
the lizard and thinks it's well-stuffed (apart from the flexible joints for dangling) rather than cuddly as such.
sef_lopod
it's not currently on the monitor but lurking behind the plastic coverings I put over everything which wouldn't be cleanable had the engineer been a masked intruder to fix things and not a sociopath barred from the house altogether.
Arbieroo
cuddly enough to enter the games!
sef_lopod
the only things likely to safely go sploosh are my set of singing dolphins - and they're not exactly cuddly either!
sef_lopod
not sure where the splooshy ducks have got to. At least one of them (a very precious-to-me antique from my grandmother) lives in a different house and it's possible the others are hanging out there too.
Arbieroo
tree-ing up next!
ing up next!
sef_lopod
a range of tiny cuddlies who are very good at that. Clinging onto small stalks of various kinds is absolutely their thing. They came from somewhere (back in the early 80s?) which no longer exists and have been living with me ever since.
sef_lopod
never seen one with the giantism that would be required to hug the trunk of a substantial tree though (in the way that Hamleys in London used to have giant display versions of some things).
Arbieroo
Bruce and Sheila are also deminutive - JessicaKoala would probably be very good.
JigmeDatse
Three koalas here...
Arbieroo
they're probably the medal winners!
JigmeDatse
they would prefer to be the coaches, let others take the prestigious medals.
Arbieroo
Bruce and Sheila would like that!
