Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 17-5-2018: Aussie Rules, Again … !

17th May, 2018.

Yep, I’m an official silly juggins.

I’ve eventually found my gas card, tucked into a different part of my wallet: a different part to where I usually put it.

Would you mind kicking me?

I’m going to miss.

~≈§≈~

Just as a fun thing to mention, before I move on?

Remember the internet dress: the on that was either black and blue, or white and gold?

There’s a new, similar, meme doing the rounds.

Yep: an audio one.   People are working out if a any audio clip says ‘yanny’ or ‘laurel.’

What do you hear?! Yanny or Laurel pic.twitter.com/jvHhCbMc8I

Personally, I’m hearing ‘yanny.’

Lord knows what that’s about … !

~≈§≈~

As a final thought?

Israel’s winning Eurovision entry, this year — Toy, by Netta — sees the singer doing chicken impressions.

Given we’ve two non-European nations that are entries in the contest: Israel, and Australia?   I’ wondering when China will get involved.

They’re more than capable of the sort of silliness needed … 

~≈§≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Adrian Anderson, former Australian Football League manager.

And an unofficial anthem …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        Hang on, two bank cards, Olga?   I hope that doesn’t bounce back and bite you.   I’d imagine destroying one … and THEN having the bank thinking you’re card’s been cloned, when you legitimately use the remaining one!   At ANY rate … ?   I can’t believe I manage to miss the gas card!

†        You know, Debbi, there’s possibly a cheaper option: washing line cord, a couple of curtain hooks, and an old bed sheet.   Preferable a clean bed sheet!   String the washing line up behind your desk, throw over the bed sheet, and voilà!   You have a background!   Yeah, a MacBook Pro would be nice … (What IS a voilà, anyway?   I keep thinking it’s a sort of badger …)
