Dark Bilious Vapors

But how could I deny that I possess these hands and this body, and withal escape being classed with persons in a state of insanity, whose brains are so disordered and clouded by dark bilious vapors....

01/08/2005: Thought for the Day:


I don't know anything about music. In my line you don't have to.
--Elvis Presley


Happy Elvismas! [For those of you woefully ignorant of the life of The Most Famous Memphian Of All, today is the birthday of Elvis Presley. So for Elvismas, we'll give you, at no extra charge, another, bonus Thought for the Day.]

If life was fair, Elvis would be alive and all the impersonators would be dead.
--Johnny Carson

How can I avoid Elvismas? If it wasn't for The King, Memphis would be a much, much less interesting place to live (and I say that with tongue only partially in cheek....)

Which one? They had a feature where a whole bunch of artists were asked to draw their conceptions of Elvis at 70.
