Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11-2-2024 — Super Bowl LVIII.

11th February, 2024: the Super Bowl.

Right … 

I didn’t realise that, ’til I uploaded it!

Yeah … you’re wondering what I’m talking about, aren’t you … ?

I managed to upload today’s Teaser video … only to find out it lasted for thirty seconds!

I’m thankful for Time Machine!

I was able to recover the raw footage and photos, and do the quickest bit of editing I’ve ever done!

~≈Ω≈~

I hate to say it … but Donald Trump held a rally, last night.

At which he said he’d encourage Russia to “do whatever the hell they want” to NATO members who haven’t paid their bills.

The man is … a lot of things: most of them unflattering.

But … ?

I think this is ridiculous.

And that Trump is trying to start a protection racket!

~≈Ω≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?


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

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum!

†        That’s a very good point, there, Olga§: and I couldn’t tell you where all the money’s going!   I do know cheaper food from outside the UK/EU is just one part of it.   I got the impression, yesterday, that another aspect was the Public Money for Public Goods schemes: UK farmers were/are supposed to get money from the government for environment works.   The scheme was supposed to replace the various EU farming subsidies, and isn’t paying as much as the EU did.

‡        It wouldn’t surprise me, Debbi§!

        Did I tell you the story I heard?   About how Townshend and company started smashing things?   Apparently, they were playing an early gig at the Railway Club: when Townshend accidentally put the neck of the guitar through the club’s ceiling¶: and broke it, pulling the guitar out.   The next gig, the audience had doubled: and their manager told them to wreck things.

        I’d hate to see their insurance bills!

§        I’m using my backup mouse: as I’ve got my main mouse on charge, right now.   It seems to be charging faster than on the iMac it shipped with!   (Those old Mighty Mice¹ were absolutely the right size for my hands: and you could squeeze the side buttons to trigger various, extra, functions.   A genius bit of design, in other words!)

¶        Apparently, it was one of those low, suspended, ceilings.

¹        OK, Debbi, Olga: is it computer mice, or computer mouses?   I still have no idea!
