He's areal cultural icon, one of those names that everyone knows.


Which reminds me - has anyone seen Bubba Ho-Tep?

lol, you fo real ?
Yeah. I can't verify it, but I have heard that.

If you're inclined to listen, Lil can spin Elvis anecdotes like that one for hours. As she sits folding the red-and-white checkered bibs that come with every steak, she recalls another night when the Western held an Elvis look-alike talent show, a forerunner to the Elvis impersonator contests that have proliferated since the King's demise. "Elvis came in, and entered the contest, sort-of in disguise. I guess the disguise worked 'cause he came in third place."

The same thing actually happened to Charlie Chaplin IIRC. :D
Yeah, I've read that too. It does raise my level of doubt about the Elvis story inparticular, but it's not impossible.

Too cool. Chaplin is my favorite celebrity of all time...

Well, next to Ungrsfed, the famous cave painter from 12,000 B.C.

You call that a celebrity? I'll bet he could walk out of cave and go for miles before somebody recognized him.
