The Monty Cardboard Robot Club and the Olympic Sculpture


 I am off out very shortly to a preview to am exhibition where the Cultural Olympian is being exhibited. Strangely this is not the Olympic part of the exhibition but as it is finished it is in there doing its bit (the cardboard Olympian).  I think there was meant to be slightly more Olympic based art in this exhibition but artists are reluctant to do that as the market for such things is rather limited.

the Cultural Olympian  has since moved to the middle of the hall
and quite right too


We are also off to sponsor someone who is off to the far reaches of the world to do good deeds and the like and maybe have a good time; I think you are allowed to do both.

I will try and get a decent photo of the Cultural Olympian as I mingle drinking champagne and eating posh stuff on little crackers….. Ah apparently I am not allowed the champagne …………DAMN I have been informed that The Monty Cardboard Robot Club it tea total which is very unfair bearing in mind I am the only member. It also appears that champagne is not an official Olympic sponsor so I am not allowed to be associated with it, I didn’t have this problem at the International Implausible Gallery of Insubstantial Rationality although not be real very few people turned up and I did get into an argument with that Andy Warhol who was standing on an invisible plinth with Marilyn Monroe sticking his tongue out at me.  



By the Way does this link work for you lot...... it does for me but I have tried it with other blogs and they are not so happy 

 A Jolly Good Link to Me, I think

much later..................

By the way I really don't know who the people are in this picture
they were  at the preview 


So here I am much later having been to the preview where the cardboard sculpture of the Olympic torch bearer otherwise known as the cultural Olympian is now centre stage and having also been to another event to scoff curries and gooey puds with cream and meringue and chocolate. Somehow I also ended up winning a small grey kitten, but after a bit of wheeler dealing I ended up with a rather good bottle of wine and five magic beans…… I don’t drink wine so just as well I got the magic beams really. The dog is muttering something about I should have got magic mushrooms but they are hardly going to grow into a huge beam stalk. And mum has called both me and the dog IDIOTS now?

    1. Thank you. Magic beams are something that is sadly lacking in the world today so they are worth hanging onto when they come your way.

    1. Thank you Miss Lily, and thanks for letting me know the link works. I was surprised that I could link back to my own blog but in dynamic view. I quite like the dynamic view option but it can be a bit of a pain to do stuff on. This way I have the best or maybe the worst of both options.

  3. I see a cardboard sign in the neighborhood fastened to a pole from time to time, reading "Free Kittens" but alas, kittens, just like dogs, are actuaLLy veRy eXpen$ive in the long run, but nevertheless weLL worth it.

    I am hoping you become eXceedingly famous as an artist, unless of course you don't wanna be, in that case I hope you don't become eXceedingly famous, but I'm sure we could swap out some famous for lotza money, champagne, or *both*.

    1. I dont think fame is an option Mr ESB, but there were a couple of people at the preview who said "I did not know you did stuff like that, we want it for our exhibition"

      In about a weeks time the official Olympic artist and a small gang of celebrities is due to turn up and they will see the Cultural Olympian, so we will see what comes of that.

      As for the kitten the couple who had saved the kitten had mixed feeling about it, she wished to keep it and he wished to find it a good home, so he secretly added it to the raffle. When I won a prize the wife asked me to pick the kitten and give it back to her so she could keep it. I did this because it is a good place for a kitten to live and their cats are friendly. We have Heavy Harry who hates everything in particular other cats and beats them up including our other cat Sooty who we have had for a year now. Luckily for Sooty he is nibble and can easily out manoeuvre Heavy Harry who is large and Heavy. Although this makes Heavy Harry even more grumpy and then we all avoid him.

  4. Terrible oversight on the part of ANYONE not to have champagne company as the sponsors. Heads should roll.

    1. I quite agree in the old Olympics of the accent Greeks head rolling was very popular among the spectators
