O.J. Simpson is the new spokesperson for Florida Orange Juice. If a homophobic woman can do it, why not a man whose only proven crime was trying to take back his own personal items? ---

Anita Bryant’s slogan for Florida Orange Juice, “A day without orange juice is like a day without sunshine,” was actually a variation of an older aphorism, “Moonshine is the mimickry of day; or night, with an illusion.” She was reportedly fond of adding orange juice and grenadine syrup to moonshine in place of tequila to make Moonrises. ---

Former Louisiana governor Jimmie Davis wrote the popular song You Are My Sunshine and was so ashamed of its sappiness that he credited it to his enemy Paul Rice as an act of passive aggression. When it became a hit Davis stole it back from Rice. The song was last recorded by the acid rock group The Flashbacks who redefined the song’s meaning. Incidentally, the B-side was a song called “When Will This Be Over?” ---

“45 RPM” is a Tom Petty tribute band. They only know three songs though, and none of them are by Petty, so it’s a bit of a washout. ---

In a wide-ranging interview set to air this Sunday, Orson Bean tells _Access Hollywood_ that he was abducted by aliens from Deneb VII on Christmas Day, December 25, 2013. They asked him to wrap all of their Christmas presents, which he did, and in gratitude they not only did not subject him to an anal probe, but promised him he would eventually become a Straight Dope meme. ---

The new year of the Dwarfs’ calendar was the last cycle of the Moon to begin in autumn, or in Thorin’s words “the first day of the last moon of Autumn on the threshold of Winter”. When on this day both the Sun and Moon may be seen in the sky together, it is called Duran’s Day. The Moon-letters written on the Thrór’s Map predicted that on Duran’s Day the last light of the Sun as night fell would reveal the secret door into the Horny Mountain. ---
