Thank Ya, Thank Ya Very Much

Happy (end of) Elvis Week, y'all!

For out-of-towners, it's a time to flock to Memphis (specifically Graceland), wear cheesy t-shirts and/or dress up like Elvis through the years (50's Elvis, Biker Elvis, Vegas Elvis etc), slip into their blue suede shoes, and eat a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich, among other events.

For locals, it's a time to stay away from anywhere remotely Elvis-related, roll their eyes in annoyance for the extra traffic and people walking aimlessly around with fanny-packs, and politely ignore those weeping over the death of the King of Rock-and-Roll. 

So whether you downloaded the Elvis Week app (yes, this exists) or are pretending you've never heard of the adventures aboard the Lisa Marie (the plane, not the person)......

Happy Elvis Week to all, and to all a good night.

DASH - Memphis?

okay, there is no post so perfect for this Friday as this:  
Kanye West reported interested in purchasing Memphis' Graceland for Kim Kardashian.

Literally, I couldn't make this up if I tried. It's reported here, here, here, here, here, and here... among others.

My first thoughts were:
1) It's a museum now, not a house
2) best of luck with the carpeted ceilings and shag carpet
3) He's buried on the property... mildly creepy
4) HA.. if Kim wouldn't move to Minnesota she sure as heck isn't moving to Memphis

Then I reconsidered:
1) the house has huge gates and bars on the windows already from the ultra paranoid Presleys
2) I, for one, would love the idea of seeing them at Krispy Kreme and D'bos Wings on the reg
3) Nori can attend public school
4) it's close to the airport
5) they can spend Thanksgiving with Justin and Jessica Timberlake

So really, it's a no brainer. Someone get bebe Nori a growl towel.
