Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 13-8-2018: International Left Hander’s Day

13th August, 2018.

Right, I have to admit to having a bad day, yesterday: after an all-out screaming match with one of the supervisors.

We’ll have to see what happens when I get to work, tonight.

It’s been one of those weeks … 

Beyond telling you I managed to catch an episode of Westworld, last night?

I think I’m going to leave that there … 

~≈§≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga* and Debbi† putting in their answers: with Olga scoring five out of five, And Debbi on four.

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

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

Q1) 13th August is International Left Handers Day.   Who was the last left handed president of the USA?

Q2) If you were in the town of Left Hand, you’d be living in which US state?

Q3) The song, Left Right, features on the Chemical Brothers album, Push the Button.   The album was released in which year?

Q4) Left Right is ALSO the name of a 2008, Chinese movie.   The film’s title is also translated as In what We Trust?

Q5) Actor, Liam Cunningham is left handed.   What’s the name of his character in Game of Thrones?

Q4) All three species have a very long proboscis.   Or what?

A4) Trunk.

Q5) Finally … elephants can be left or right … what?

Here’s a thought …

“Let your left hand turn away what your right hand attracts.”

Talmud, Sotah, 47.

And songs from southpaws …

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

Have a good day.

*        I think the one time I had a suicide attempt, Olga?   Was depression: triggered by a bad romance.   It left me thinking these things have some sort of trigger: something I think was behind the death of Billy McKenzie, the front man for the Associates.   He died after his mother’s death.   As for Jessica Lange?   Hmmm … it would make a sort of sense: they have a habit of introducing formerly major characters in later series: just to move the story along.   (Sarah Paulson’s done it a couple of times: as has Gabourey Sidibe.)

†        I get the impression, Debbi, he’s a bit … you know … left field.   Which reminds me, I’ll have to sit down with Bowling for Columbine, it’s his best known work.   Oh, Thursday’s my next day off …
