If you are feeling an unusual hankering today to don your Blue Suede Shoes and mosey on down to the Heartbreak Hotel, because your Hound Dog is howling more than usual, then this may be the reason why! The annual Elvis Festival is being held in the NSW town of Parkes this week, commencing with a special train ride from Sydney jam-packed with every kind of fanatic, impersonator, sound-alike, look-alike from all over the world that you could possibly imagine!

The only thing that concerns me is temperatures in regional Parkes this weekend are tipped to soar up to 38 Celsius (or around 100F), and all those nylon jumpsuits... not a good combination!

Thank you very much......

ROFL@ thank you very much


Love your way with words.
It is a lot of "Heartbreak Hotel" around here, so maybe some more Elvis might be a great idea.

Oh it gets PLENTY hot out in rural Australia, close to the desert, all I can think of is how hot and sweaty all those synthetic fabrics in those costumes would be - yuck!

As for hubby, no he is more a Freddie Mercury/Queen fan. You may remember his moustache growing exploits from Movember? I'm not entirely sure what is actually happening in this picture, looks like some enhancement with a marking pen going on... all I do know is he will probably freak when he finds out I've posted this shot, but it's his fault for leaving it lying around on the desk top where I can find it!

Is this the real 'stache?
Is this just magick ink?
Caught with the pen out
Now, will it will raise a stink?

It is a vice?
Look into his eyes and see
its just a mugshot
no need for panicking
because its easy post
easy gone
a little shave
maybe none


anyway the votes go
doesn't really matter
to him

“I see a hairy moustachioed man,
Scaramouche Scaramouche see him do the Fang-dango!”

Hang on this was originally about Elvis...

“Well bless my soul, there’s a bird on my knee,
She’s all fuzzed up and she’s a-coming at me!
She pins me to the couch, her claws are tearing me up
Please send help, Lilly’s all fuzzed up!
Ah ha, oh yeah, hey yeah, she’s all fuzzed up!”

So I have consulted legal advice in regards to whether embarrassing me by posting photos on the forum is grounds for divorce and no self respecting lawyer will touch my case.

Consequently...

I will take the only course I have at my disposal, which is to embarrass her back.

Let me trawl through our photos......and return fire in kind.
