Wikipedia sentence of the day, reached at 10:45, from the article on the 1992 film 'Batman Returns':

"The penguin army was created using live penguins supplemented by puppets, forty Emperor-penguin suits worn by little people, and computer-generated imagery (CGI)."

Later tonight. Wee rollover at the Newsroom.

They'll probably also have Mexico v South Africa on the tellies (sound off) if you care about any of that.

Christopher had a very good point up at the Grange last Thursday, namely: “How come you don’t see mooning these days on the bus?”

It’s true.

In the old days, youngsters upstairs on the bus would wheek their trousers down to moon their skinny white arses through the window at whoever: the people on the bus behind, people on the streets (especially if they saw someone they knew).

I wasn’t really a mooner myself because I’m refined, but I suppose I kinda miss the chaotic democracy of those days. This is how Britain used to cheer itself up.

Why did it disappear? Did it end with smartphones? Are folk too busy playing Candy Crush Saga to moon their arse out of the window of the bus now?

Let me know if you have any theories.

Meanwhile, come to the quizzes tonight. But keep your arse to yourself. That stuff is for the bus.

There’s always more than one way to look at a taco.

Mojo Nixon said “Elvis is everywhere, Elvis is everything, Elvis is everybody, Elvis is still the King”.

Public Enemy, on the other hand, sang "Elvis was a hero to most, but he never meant s**t to me. You see, straight-out racist, that sucker was simple and plain"

Different views. People have them.

I even met someone last week who said they don’t like seals (the best animals). Apologies if I mentioned this before, if I’m going over old ground, but I keep thinking about it.

How can you not like seals?
As Madonna said, “Life is a mystery…”

What were the skies like when you were little?

Did you see the high midsummer night sky last night? Daylight at eleven. Very nice.

Are you still young enough to stay up all night and be walking home, from some stupid escapade, in the broad daylight at 4 am / 5 am?

I kinda miss that stuff, but I need my sleep these days.

Anyway, it’s the last couple of days of freedom before planet football sits on your face like a bad queen. Come to the pub tonight. Stay out till dawn if you can. Get into trouble.
