One silly question: IS ELVIS ONE OF US?

King_of_Spain · Post by **King_of_Spain** » Sat Oct 18, 2003 8:39 pm

We all would like to imagine the real EC takes part sometimes at this forum under an alias, expressing his points of view, trying to defend himself (or more likely criticising himself as severely as the most ruthless critic)... that he reads what we say about him and is a part of this forum, somehow.

What do you think?

Is Elvis taking part of this Forum under a false name? Do you think he reads what we say about him? Is he actually Spooky Girlfriend, Bambooneedle, Laughing Craw, BLue Chair, Miss Buenos Aires, one of the Jacksons, Boy with a problem, Blue chair, Less than zero or whoever?

...?

I don't think I'm Elvis, unless he has blonde hair, four kids, a minivan and feels pretty when he wears beige.

It would surprise me if he was, but I guess its not impossible . . .

Come on pip, you of all people should know that I'm really Elvis

I heard that you said I am ugly, King_of_Spain. Good luck trying to attend my next concert!

So, my name wasn't considered, huh.???

Hmmm,,,,,

I would have to imagine that he got really bored one night and couldn't sleep and had been like that for weeks before he would stumble upon us....though I have a suspicion that he might check it from time to time to fill his joke repitoire from our musings and critiques.

Nah, if he's that bored, he'd be writing, or taking more goofy photographs...

Imagine if there was a message board out there about each one of us.....what a hoot!!!

Nope! Elvis made it quite clear on the Island board he wasnt interested!

I think in the past on the old board, YES! These days? NO!

Yeah right! As if he'd bother participating...he may have seen it, that's not impossible, but I guess he wouldn't write anything down.

If he has, he must think we're all a bit obsessive.

Who's Laughing Craw anyway?

IStandAccused if definitely Bruce.

I don't think he's participating. Even if he did stumble across this site, he wouldn't care.

Of course.

Sorry. I couldn't resist.

Well, you can take me out of the running, since it's been established that I am Clint Eastwood.

By the way, my movie, "Mystic River", starring Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Kevin Bacon, Laurence Fishburne and Laura Linney is playing in a theater or drive-in near you, garnering rave reviews and generating considerable Oscar buzz. My buddy Elvis C. says, "Check it out!" My other pal, Diana Krall, raves: "Clint has done it again! Another masterpiece from high plains drifter himself."

I thought that was you at the Royal Festival Hall last week, Bobster.

I am, of course, Pete Thomas.

What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us?
Blue blue blue blue blue blue blue
blah blah blah blah blah

Moody, how can I be God when I'm Dr. Evil?

"What if Elv was one of us?
Just a poster, on his duff"

I'm Elvis and so is my wife.

Bambooboy, I thought God and Dr. Evil were one and the same. My mistake. The graffiti on the girl's restroom in the undergrad library proclaimed some guy named Clapton was god. Didn't Son of Sam think his dog was god? The search must go on.

Son of Sam (David Berkowitz) thought his neighbours black labrador was a messenger of Satan, and was instructing him to shoot people...

bad choice really, if he'd just listened to that nice border collie over the road, who would have told him to help old ladies cross the road, and give money to charity.

sulkygirl · Post by **sulkygirl** » Tue Oct 21, 2003 7:19 pm

Alas and alack, I must agree...

I don't think he'd be bothered to post anything, and he's probably already aware that the site exists.

However, does he know about our tribute CD yet?? Hmmm....

Oh, did that ever make me titter.

I'm sure I'm not Elvis, unless he's a pudgy middle aged curmedgeon. Oh wait...
