If Elvis was alive right now?

An hour ago I was watching TV with my son and after an ad for tomorrow night's Elvis the hosts of Australian Idol came on to ask, "What do you think Elvis woul;d be doing if he was alive right now?" Jordan muttered, "Scratching at the lid of the coffin." And I burst out laughing. Channel 10 should have used that line.

If Elvis was alive today, he'd probably be thinking, "How can I eat the way I do and still be alive? My cholestorol is over 300!"

Elvis is alive right now -- he's curled up in my lap, purring.

Oh, we're not talking about my cat? My bad.

He could play the lead in a movie about the last ten years in the life of Marlon Brando

Where did you get the silly notion that he isn't?

Perhaps he'd have a chain of fast food places that offered fried peanut butter-banana sandwiches?

It was Marilyn Monroe in Fight Club.


So what would Elvis be doing? He'd be chillin' with Marilyn. It's Clawing Night at the Coffin Lounge.
