Nik Nak‘s Daily Teaser — 6-7-2017: Sly … !

*Yawn* … 

I’m up late … 

Actually, no I’m not … 

I’m up at the usual time.

But I went to bed, late!

Which is what happens when you do late night blogging about a newly discovered TV show.

Newly discovered, I should add.

American Horror Show has been around for a while, but I’ve only just seen the first series.

And it’s rather watchable: especially Jessica Lange!


~≈Ê≈~

But let’s move on, shall we … ?

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

Let’s see how everyone does with today’s themed questions, shall we?

Here they are, along with the How To, License and video

And a thought …
“The films are realistic fantasies. Bullets are easy. You can buy them. Emotions are not. They’re priceless.”
Sylvester Stallone.
Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Have a good day.
