I was watching some show with my baby sister earlier, and these penguins got their ball taken from them, and they kept going “hey, can we have our ball back?” They had English accents, too, so you probably know what that made me think of.

Haha!
Funny you should mention penguins – I just half an hour ago finished watched the cursed Pittsburgh Penguins beat my beloved Toronto Maple Leafs for the SECOND consecutive time on Toronto ice…and it’s the SECOND consecutive game that I heard no Beatles music being played in the arena! Previous few games, I heard a Beatles tune or two (and posted about it earlier in this very thread) and my team won! THIS CANNOT CONTINUE!! 
I DEMAND to hear Beatles songs played in that arena! And not just for the obvious reason.
GEORGE: In fact, The Detroit Sound. JOHN: In fact, yes. GEORGE: In fact, yeah. Tamla-Motown artists are our favorites. The Miracles. JOHN: We like Marvin Gaye. GEORGE: The Impressions PAUL & GEORGE: Mary Wells. GEORGE: The Exciters. RINGO: Chuck Jackson. JOHN: To name but eighty.

gah. I’ve been having difficulty with it?
Is there a way to add photos from my computer or does it have to be from a site?
I don’t know if you can watch this or not,but heres a link to the epidsode. Its about 6:20ish minutes into the video. And they show the full pictures, so it was just my camera that cut it off. http://www.hulu.com/watch/466519
Still don’t see it.
And I’m not in the US so I can’t watch the video either.

Here in the UK, we have two main in-depth news programmes, BBC2’s Newsnight and Channel Four News. I was watching Channel Four News earlier this evening. For some reason, this serious news programme ended with the Russian Grannies from last year’s Eurovision Song Contest, on the London Eye, singing Imagine in Russian, accompanied by today’s lead presenter, Krisnan Guru-Murthy, on guitar. WTF!

Oh yeah this morning I tuned up to Breakfast with the Beatles as well.

Offline I was in Old Navy grabbing a hoodie for my dude for work, and I had to stop off at the tee section… and of course they had an awesome “Let It Be ” shirt. It’s the cover but in cool colours. I bought it, of course. When I bought it I told the girl “You guys have to stop making Beatles shirts, I’m going to go broke!” 
"Please don't bring your banjo back, I know where it's been.. I wasn't hardly gone a day, when it became the scene.. Banjos! Banjos! All the time, I can't forget that tune.. and if I ever see another banjo, I'm going out and buy a big balloon!"

One of my friends on facebook wrote this:
gone to a VW car show with my mom and met a red old skool beatle with my mom named Pablo with a fancy moustache.
I know its talking about a car, but she spelled it wrong. She spelled it like the band, on top of that she said it was red and had mustache which mad me think of Sgt Pepper .

EDIT: Now I know why… I kinda tricked myself for a minute or two.

Offline I was reading a book, and it said something about something being helter-skelter. I smiled for the next few chapters. Then, later in the book, I read the words “inquire discreetly” and I started singing, “Lovely Rita , meter maid, may I inquire discreetly…” When I finished the book (it was a fairly short one) I was still smiling. 
Also, more of a George moment but…
My science teacher told us we had to write a short essay titled “What Is Life ?”
Me: (singing quietly) Tell me, what is my life without your love? Tell me, who am I without you by my side…
Person sitting next to me: (slightly incredulously) Are you practicing for chorus? In science class?
Me: *blushes* No, no, it’s just that George Harrison – you know him, right?
PSNTM: *shakes head*
Me: He was a Beatle. Anyway, he wrote a song called “What Is Life ,” and the title of the essay reminded me of the song, and… *stops because PSNTM is looking at me strangely* Never mind.

- Stereo, a piece that ended the original British release of Sgt. Pepper ‘s Lonely Hearts Club Band but was not included on the American version of the album. It consists of a few seconds of 15 kilohertz tone (similar to a dog whistle) followed by two seconds of laughter and noise on the runout groove. The tone is not included on this album but the laughter and noise are featured just before the actual runout groove. It has since been restored, including the high-pitch tone, for all worldwide CD and cassette versions of Sgt. Pepper as well as the 2012 vinyl remaster of the LP
- “Penny Lane ”
It’s fantastic! Such a good find! 
We also picked up: Plastic Ono band-Live Peace In Toronto 1969 , Wings-Red Rose Speedway , The Who-Live at Leeds, and Django Reinhardt-Three Fingered Lighting… 
Then I was grocery shopping today, and beside the ingredients for “Pizza” I had written “Make the night before”… and of course “The Night Before ” popped into my head and I started singing it a little… 
"Please don't bring your banjo back, I know where it's been.. I wasn't hardly gone a day, when it became the scene.. Banjos! Banjos! All the time, I can't forget that tune.. and if I ever see another banjo, I'm going out and buy a big balloon!"

Offline Another Beatley (er, Paul) moment:
I was just looking at some pics on http://cuteoverload.com/ , and one description/caption/whatever references Paul McCartney . There’s a link that leads to the lyrics to Let ‘Em In. I had heard of the song before, but I didn’t know what it was. I read the lyrics, and I realized that it was one of the songs my mom used to randomly sing when I was little!
