Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5th December, 2018.

5th December, 2018.

Yes: I’m officially going nuts.

No, really.

Go have a look at the introduction video, there.

That one at the start of this post.

I’ve just realised I’ve said today’s Tuesday.

In spite of the fact the day’s Wednesday.

Can someone slap me, throw a bucket of water at the cat, and make sure I’ve taken my medication … ?

I think that’s possibly the only way to … you know … 

Don’t get stuff like this wrong … !

~≈§≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

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

Here’s a thought …

“I would be willing, yes glad, to see a battle every day during my life.”

General George Custer^, December 5, 1839 – June 25, 1876.

And a song …

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

Have a good day.

*         Ministéricos, Olga?   Beats being a Smeghead!   I’ve seen quite a few Red Dwarf fans call themselves that.   Apparently?   The show’s creators used it as a made up swearword for the show: after seeing a brand of fridge.   At any rate … ?   I caught episode five, last night: they did some very good editing to make it look like the actor playing Picasso was left-handed‡.   (Yep, just three weeks: I’m just hoping the job centre will cover the cost of the ticket!)

†        I certainly try to, Debbi!   Oh, it looks like Mark Addy’s cropping up in this week’s episode of Dr Who.   I’ve not seen him in anything since that first series of Game of Throne.

‡        There’s arguments about Picasso’s handedness, I know.   But this clip shows him painting onto glass.   It looks like a lot of assumptions could be wrong, when you think about it …

^        That possibly says a lot about George Custer.
