Cauldron Conundrum
You expect that the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympic Games should go off without a hitch... but what the heck do you do when one of the cauldrons for the Olympic flame doesn’t even rise into place in order to be lit?!?! Well I guess that meant the original plans went... (wait for it) up in smoke.
OK, admittedly, that was kind of a bad joke, but how can you not make a cartoon out of this? And yes, I know that Wayne Gretzky’s pylon wasn’t the one that malfunctioned (it was Catriona Le May Doan’s), but how could I not go with the Great One for the cartoon?
Oh, and I just had to include the must-have item of the games - those red mittens with the Olympic rings on the wrist and Canadian Maple Leaf on the palm.
