Crazy…

Slim Chance

Slim chance is the phrase that came to mind when I read this wanted ad:

I am new PhD student looking for a room in girls flat provided that:
No smoking in the flat
No alcohol consumption in the flat
No boy friends around
No animals allowed
Cleanliness is essential

Remember this is a student flat that we are talking about…

Some Things Just Make Me Laugh

Like the repetition of this sentence which has been cut and pasted into numerous lines on a spreadsheet.

He Made His Mark

Omega Auctions in Stockport are holding an auction of Elvis Presley memorabilia on Sunday 8th of September (clicky).

Included in this sale are a variety of items ranging from Elvis’s personally owned Holy Bible with handwritten notes and passages underlined by the man himself; Elvis’s personal salad plate in antique green style Franciscan Ware; a framed strand of hair; various song sheets; and an original tail light bulb from the red sports car driven and owned by Elvis in the film ‘Blue Hawaii’.

The strangest item for me though is Lot 387 : Elvis Presley 1977 Jumpsuit Underwear.

Description : The briefs were worn on stage in 1977 and are unwashed with some stains apparent. The following information came from the owner of the Elvis-A-Rama Museum before he sold it to Graceland: “Elvis Presley`s 1977 jumpsuit underwear – this pair of light blue dance briefs was worn by entertainer Elvis Presley in 1977 while on stage. Elvis didn`t want any lines visible while he was on stage wearing his vast array of dazzling jumpsuits. This pair of underwear was obtained from the estate of Vernon Presley, Elvis` father”. The underwear had been on display at the world famous Elvis-A-Rama Museum for many years.  The Elvis-A-Rama was later bought by Graceland and retired.

Estimate : £7,000 – £9,000!!!

I’m not a huge fan of Elvis so I won’t be making a bid for these.  There is no denying that Elvis Presley left his mark on rock and roll music, it seems he did the same with these punts!

They Think Off Everything Nowadays

 

I wonder if there is a mail order catalogue that sells nifty religious headgear like this.

Absolutely brilliant!

Time Travel By Photograph

Really interesting collection of photos from Irina Werning where she recreates people’s photographs from years ago.

Visit Back To The Future and Back To The Future II and be fascinated like I was.
