ELVIS LIVES IN PARKES




I'VE ALWAYS GOT A LAUGH FROM THE ULTRA TACKY ELVIS IMPERSONATORS THAT POP UP FROM TIME TO TIME. WHEN I LIVED IN SINGAPORE YEARS AGO, THEY HAD AN ELVIS LOOKALIKE COMPETITION EACH YEAR, WHICH WAS HYSTERICAL. DOZENS OF PUNY CHINESE GUYS DOING ELVIS IS SURREAL. SINGAPORE'S "OWN" ELVIS, THE USUAL WINNER, WAS A LARGE INDIAN GUY IN THE REGULATION JUMP SUIT; VERY CONVINCING! IN AUSTRALIA, WE HAVE AN ANNUAL ELVIS FESTIVAL AT THIS TIME EACH YEAR, IN THE COUNTRY TOWN OF PARKES.
