TOO MUCH MONKEY BUSINESS: The Elvis Forum

Were you in that day, or did he leave a card to say that you could pick them up from the post office?

No, he didn't deliver them to me............ he delivered them to the Jewish people.

Actually, there were 15 to start with, but he dropped a tablet on the way down the mountain................

Was that the one that said Thou Shalt Not Be Careless? I hope he claimed on the insurance.

The insurance claim was rejected because the stone tablets were deemed worthless, and he was behind with the premiums, anyway !

The five 'missing' ones on the smashed tablet were:

11] Thou shalt support FTD.

12] Thou shalt support the TMMB forum.

13] Thou shalt attempt to solve the Trivia Quizzes.

14] Thou shalt read the entries & participate in the I Gotta Know section.

15] Thou shalt be nice to the older members, cutting them as much slack as they need.

Err........................... that's it !

Quote of the Day - 23rd January:

"Men first feel necessity, then look for utility, next attend to comfort, still later amuse themselves with pleasure, thence grow dissolute in luxury, and finally go mad and waste their substance."

I always have been.

It was pretty obvious to the rest of us....................

Quote of the Day - 25th January:

"Ha! I always knew Frank would end up in bed with a boy!"


Ava Gardner
(12/24/1922 – 01/25/1990)
US actor [on Sinatra's marriage to Mia Farrow - Ava is one of Frank's ex-wives]

Miaow !

Classic.

In comparison to this, she is:

I gotta admit, I always quite fancied Ava !

Mia had appeared for years on TV as a sweet, coy, long-haired 'girly' type in Peyton Place.

When she finished with the role, she had her hair cut short in a boyish style as a sort of personal statement !

Quote of the Day - 26th January:

"Without Christian education, without the principles of Christ inculcated into young life,
we are simply rearing pagans."


Peter Marshall

Scottish-US religious leader

Well, perhaps, but thankfully pagans free from the hypochrisy & dogma of Christianity.......................

Quote of the Day - 27th January:

Quote of the Day - 30th January:

"It's actually come as quite a shock to learn just how many people don't like me."


Phil Collins
(01/30/1951 – )
English drummer

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Isn't it strange how, when he was 'in', he was wildly popular; but now, his name is synonymous with 'naffness'................

I've never been able to listen to his stuff. Always turned the radio down/off when they played his records. I did hear him doing some jazz song years ago which was good, but other than that, no thanks. Same goes for Cat Stevens.

Quote of the Day - 3rd February:

"They're not paying me to play a charwoman.
They're paying me to show up looking glam and, damn it, I'm gonna show up looking glam!"
