Treat me like a fool,
Treat me mean and cruel,
But love me.
Wring my faithful heart,
Tear it all apart,
But love me.
If you ever go,
Darling, Ill be oh so lonely
Ill be sad and blue,
Crying over you, dear only.
I would beg and steal
Just to feel your heart
Beatin close to mine
Well, if you ever go,
Darling, Ill be oh so lonely
Ill be sad and blue,
Crying over you, dear only.
I would beg and steal
Just to feel your heart
Beatin close to mine
Well, if you ever go,
Darling, Ill be oh so lonely
Beggin on knees,
All I ask is please, please love me
Oh yeah

Well, that was just a lie.

Hey Rod is your degree from Pepperdine an Honorary or Mail Order?

Replace Elvis with a textbook budget and the man will get to work faster than one can start talking about blue suede shoes.

One of these men has slick-hair, is embodiment of the past, seeks attention, shakes and shimmies in front of everyone that watches, and is a good singer.
The other is an Elvis impersonator.

So he hugs MJM but only shakes the hand of the Elvis impersonator. It’s Now or Never, the hug won’t wait.

Anyone know if this was taken in Denver? I swear I saw this Elvis lurking around the delegation hotel…

MRB: ” Elvis..Emil, Emil..Elvis”
OR
MRB: “We’ll go in together. You walk over to the Illinois Delegation. If they hit you with a spotlight just keep it off that one empty chair and I’ll slip into it like I been there all the time. Okay, Bro? Now remember I am giving your promoter a grant for Historical Rock Star Studies so don’t blow this. By the way did you ever meet Mark Cuban?”
Comment by Irish Friday, Sep 5, 08 @ 1:57 pm
Just what are these lyrics saying? Should I be worried?
”
Number forty-seven said to number three:
You’re the cutest jailbird I ever did see.
I sure would be delighted with your company,
Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me.
Lets rock, everybody, lets rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin to the jailhouse rock.”

Elvis said:
Now, when I went to the military they let me keep most of my hair,kind of, what about you- in prison I mean- will they let you keep that hair?
Comment by GofGlenview Friday, Sep 5, 08 @ 2:13 pm
“You had me at hello” should win whatever prize is offered for this caption contest. No caption but the picture reminds me of one of the great unseen recent movies: ‘Bubba Ho-Tep.” Elvis is alive, and living in a Texas nursing home…

“There…that’s a good camera angle. Good candle-power from the smile. Eye contact direct and confident. What a great photo op. Well, let’s try one with you standing back a little, you’re almost blocking me, which would defeat the whole purpose. Thanks, uh, bro.”

Hey Rod, please restore funding for substance abuse. You know people die from that “disease”.
Comment by Makes Sense to Me... Friday, Sep 5, 08 @ 5:37 pm
In Bubba Ho-Tep, “Elvis is alive, and living in a Texas nursing home…” with another man (played by Ossie Davis) who claims to be JFK — with his skin dyed to hide his true identity! Quite a strange but fascinating flick indeed.

Two ghosts.
Comment by Cal Skinner Friday, Sep 5, 08 @ 6:11 pm
I’ve got an idea. For $25,000 you can be the first Elvis impersonator ever in the U.S. Senate. That will really shake things up, eh, eh, eh..
Comment by Quizzical Friday, Sep 5, 08 @ 7:33 pm
My hair’s bigger than yours, bro; my hair’s bigger than yours; I will shake your hand, but don’t take a stand, cause I’ll hug ya even if I can’t stand ya.
