1) Elvis Presley Quotes:

-Elvis commenting to a reporter, 1950's.

"Don’t criticize what you don’t understand, son. You never walked in that man’s shoes."

-Elvis often used this adaptation of a well-known quotation.

"When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned very early in life that: ▒Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain’t got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend — without a song.' So I keep singing a song. Goodnight. Thank you."

Lisa Marie Quotes

Being Elvis Presley's daughter is a whole lot of pressure. It's been a constant burden in my life.

Demented. My sense of humor is only based on irony and insanity. Something completely nosequitor will make me die laughing.

Facing the press is endlessly daunting for me. But I am learning to use it to my advantage. If the tabloids come up with the latest ridiculous lie about me — and they always do — then now I can rectify it the following week in a proper interview with a serious newspaper. That's a novelty.

2) Elvis Presley Movies

4) Favourite Elvis song Lyrics for
Polk salad annie

This new feature of our ezine is for karaoke superstars & the fans that just like to sing-along with the King.

Some of you all never been down south too much...
I’ gonna tell you a little story, so you’ll understand where I’m talking about
Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods and the fields,
And it looks something like a turnip green.
Everybody calls it polk salad. now that’s polk salad.
Used to know a girl that lived down there and
She’d go out in the evenings to pick a mess of it...
Carry it home and cook it for supper, ’cause that’s about all they had to eat,
But they did all right.

Down in louisiana
Where the alligators grow so mean
Lived a girl that I swear to the world
Made the alligators look tame

Polk salad annie
’gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
For the mama was working on the chain-gang
What a mean, vicious woman

Everyday before suppertime
She’d go down by the truck patch
And pick her a mess of polk salad
And carry it home in a tote sack

Polk salad annie
’gators got you granny
Everybody said it was a shame
’cause the mama was working on the chain-gang
Whoo, how wretched, dispiteful, straight-razor totin’ woman,
Lord have mercy.

Sock a little polk salad to him
Yeah, you know what, yeah, yeah

But daddy was a lazy and a no-count
Claimed he had a bad back
All her brothers were fit for
Was stealing watermelons out of my truck

For once polk salad annie
’gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
For the mama was working on the chain-gang

Sock a little polk salad to him
You know what meets a meal mention
You sock a little
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah
Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon
Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon
Sock a little polk salad to him
You know what meets a meal mention
Sock a little polk salad to him
You know what meets a meal mention
Chinc, chinc, chinc, chin, ling, ling ling

5) Party Planner tips:

"Plan Your Parties Right"

Attending a party is sure fun; hosting one is a different story. However, as a host, one can minimize the incidences of party boo-boos with some careful planning ahead.

Here are some party planning tips to make a party run smoothly:

-Think creatively when planning for a party theme. Aim for novelty. Make it something the guests will talk with their friends about.

-Giving out written invites is a fine idea. Aside from having the party details such as the theme, attire, place, date and time, try to make them look creative and add some personal touch.

-Scents, sounds and sights in the venue should all blend to create a festive ambiance. Lights and decorations should set the party mood. Try replacing the light bulbs with low wattage colored bulbs or black lamps. Light up scented candles to fill the venue with a nice scent. Have some good music playing softly in the background. Get the television out of the party area.

-Arrange for provisions for parking for the guests. Please ask the neighbors regarding options for parking or tell them in advance if the guests are parking on the street.

-Try to move away expensive furniture and carpets around the party area until the party is over. In any case, always have some stain remover within easy reach.

-Serve foods which complement each other. Avoid having to serve foods messy to eat as well as those with gooey sauces; especially if the guests are to eat while standing and mingling. It is advisable to limit the number of food choices but offer them in larger quantities instead of having a wide range of choices but in smaller quantities. Try serving finger foods and remember to have something for the vegetarian guests.

-Prepare accommodations for the smokers. Also, inform them in advance if the venue for the party is a non-smoking household.

-If alcoholic beverages will be served, stock up as much ice as you can. Having two punch bowls is also a good option; reserve the other one for those who are not up for alcohol. More importantly, be concerned with the safety of the guests: make sure that the guests drink in moderation, especially those who are driving home after the party.

-If the budget allows, consider other forms of amusement such as strolling musicians, karaoke, fortune tellers and the like.

In parties, it is the details that spell the difference. It is important to plan ahead and keep organized. But what is more important is enjoying the whole process altogether. Have fun partying!

Some humour to put a smile on your face!

0 to 200 in 5 sconds

Frank was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was Really angry.

She told him, "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in less than 5 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE."

The next morning Frank got up early and left for work. When his wife Woke up, she looked out the window and sure enough, there was a box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.

Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, brought the box back in the house.

She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.

Funeral services for Frank have been scheduled for Friday.
