Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27-6-2016: On Route

Right … 

I’ve a few days off, right now.

Which means I can … 

Well, do several things, actually.

I’m thinking shopping’s the thing: but more likely?

I’d like some more sleep!

But … ?   The Teasers call: both Daily and Weekly.

And, frankly?   I’m a touch low on funds: but have enough iTunes credit — and unwatched, backed up stuff — to make watching a film a serious option.

I’m just wondering is I should dig up Event Horizon.   I don’t care if the critics don’t like it: I fell in love with the thing, the minute I saw it!

~≈Ê≈~

But let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Debbi* putting in her answers: scoring six out of six in the process.

Steven Redhead.

And, as it’s a song about a tramp on the route?

This … 

Have a good day.

*        Oh, rubbish, Debbi!   Elvis isn’t on Mars: unless you believe some of the odder tabloids.   No … He’s working in a Burger King in Des Moines …   (Elvis wasn’t the only pop star with a mononym: Prince, Psy, Sting … )
