Viva Lost Vegans

We went to Lotusland's Big Fair, the Pacific National Exibition on Friday.

And I am happy to report that the no-nonsense/no-nausea 'Scrambler' is still the perfect multi-stratification ride that everyone from the age of 8 to almost 48 can enjoy just for the whiz around heck of it.

It was also 50th Anniversary Elvis Tribute night that day at the PNE.

And I have to admit that it wasn't half bad, especially compared to the weird, ASpeerian explosion/flameball-fest that occurred later at fireworks time.

But here's the part I don't quite get about the ghost of Mr. Presley.....

Don't people remember that by 1972 he had already become a joke more ridiculous, even in Vegas, than Guy Lombardo or Debbie Reynolds in a fright wig?

Then again I suppose that such a stratospheric status of lameyosity does help explain the bizarre 'Viva! Viagra!' ads currently running non-stop on talk radio that end with the tagline:

"Ask your doctor if your heart is healthy enough for sex."

Because, clearly, when the end finally came Mr. Presley's, was not.
