Eldridge was going to the karaoke Elvis night and thought he had a good chance at winning the best Elvis in Galveston. He had Heartbreak Hotel and Jailhouse Rock down cold and a really lifelike deep, resonant “Thenk yew very much.” Did he get the hair right though . . . ?
Tex had been too embarrassed to sing very loud in high school, but with the anonymity of a Karaoke bar, all restraints were lifted. Tex had prepared a series of Elvis songs, including Jail House Rock and Heartbreak Hotel, and he thought he sounded pretty good.

Janine was beginning to think her mother either had early onset Alzheimer’s or was just plain wacko. Her mother claimed, and swore it was true (you know the major papers don’t lie), that tabloids claimed Condoleeza Rice was converting to Islam along with President Obama, and after the conversions, she was becoming his second wife and working for ACORN doing community organizing. As soon as the FBI released the paparazzis’ camera memory cards, there would be photographic proof–provided the photos didn’t implicate Michael Jackson or Elvis. . . . . David, Sf.G.
