This is a breaking story Chris, so there are still details coming in by the minute... but they are saying that they are very concerned and all that can be done is being done. At the moment The TSA has set up check points at the Earths outter atmosphere and you can rest assured that they will keep us as safe as they always have.

Elvis would have been long dead by now anyway, of a heart attack--just get a look at what his favorite meal was:

Ha! Nicely done on making yourself look even more like an ass. It says a lot about someone who can't stand behind their own posts but rather sinks this low to make completely irrelevant comments about the poster calling them out on their BS. What are you, like five years old? Carry on...looking forward to more of your crap posts...

you still suck as a guitarist.....waaaaaah

Obviously just a case of Sour Grapes, nothing more.

But that's not a meal, that's a snack. Here's a meal:



1 hamburger bun
1/2 lb ground beef
1 slice tomato
1 large lettuce leaf
1/8 cup chopped onion
1/8 cup chopped mushroom
2 slices American cheese
4 pieces bacon
4 teaspoons butter
ketchup
mustard
relish
mayonnaise

This is very sad

I believe this thread is an exact representation of how the general public views Elvis Presley: the importance of his music completely buried under fat-Elvis, "Elvis is still alive"/"I saw Elvis at Burger King," and food/hamburger jokes. Kinda sad, really.

Could this be possible?
At the height of his famed food intake, Elvis was consuming 94,000 calories per day. An Asian elephant eats only 50,000.

A couple weeks after Elvis died I was in a supermarket (Westward Ho, on the corner of National & Sawtelle, currently a Whole Foods) when this guy walks in dressed like Elvis, jumpsuit, sun glasses, the hair, the whole bit., He says to his friend "This is the kind of food Elvis would eat". His friend says, "but I thought you were Elvis." To which he responded, "Ya, that's right, this is the kind of food I eat. (looks at cashier) Dispite what you might think honey, I'm still alive."

After that I started seeing "him" everywhere.

The attitudes and opinions of so called music fans and some members here is really shamefull. And it doesnt represent the majority of decent people here. Ive noticed over the years ep gets a fair bit of stick from various people here.there are bands and musicians that i dont like but i respect others opinions not to be rude or demeaning about them.
Its not a big issue..but sometimes things bug me here.

That is very pessimistic of you.

I think the world still loves Elvis and it is rooted in his music then runs through his movies through his Vegas shows through his women/rumors//etc through his looks and through his untimely death and everything in between.. it runs the gamut... everything...

I bet if you asked the man/woman/kid on the street(world wide) ""QUICK IN TEN SECONDS TELL US ABOUT ELVIS""... you would get the full spectrum of answers.... all of them... but no one would say "WHO?"

No one's making jokes here. This is how Elvis really ate, and his former cook at Graceland actually published a memoir on the subject. NPR even did a story on this--do you think they were being shameful as well? Read below:

From NPR's All Things Considered: A Dish Fit for a King
On Anniversary of Elvis' Death, a Recipe for BBG Bologna

August 16, 2001--Elvis Presley may have been the king, but in his kitchen Mary Jenkins Langston was the queen.

Langston was the cook at Graceland, the rock and roll star's estate in Memphis, Tenn., for 14 years. She specialized in the kind of down-home cooking that Elvis loved--especially the stuff that's really bad for you.

How bad? A short list of his favorites includes butter-soaked grilled banana and peanut butter sandwiches, biscuits fried in butter and filled with sausage, T-bone steaks -- grilled in butter, naturally -- and meatballs wrapped in bacon.

Some wags contend that Langston was to blame for the disappearance of Elvis' famed pelvis at the end of his life. Langston, in her own defense, said before her death last year that Elvis paid the bills -- so whatever he wanted to eat, he got.

On this 24th anniversary of Elvis' death, NPR's Vertamae Grosvenor decided to sample one of the king's favorite dishes -- barbequed bologna.

The ancestor to bologna is mortadella, a sausage that originated in Bologna, Italy where the Guild of Sausage Makers was created in the 14th century. Mortadella was considered fit to be served at wedding feasts and dinners for important people. In other words, it was a sausage fit for a king.

BBQ Bologna
1/2 stick of bologna (not the cut-up deli style, but from a whole roll)
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 lemon juice
2 tablespoons red pepper
1 tablespoon salt

Punch holes in the bologna and place on a grill or in the oven. Mix the other ingredients, and constantly baste the roll while it cooks on low heat for about an hour. Then baste the roll with barbecue sauce, and cook for about another half hour, then serve.

Langston's recipe culled from her Elvis memoir, Elvis: Memories Beyond Graceland Gates

Not the general public. Just a few who look for the bad. Some here don;t like the Elvis adulation so they find his faults fun to point out from behind a keyboard
As a lifelong Elvis fan I've learned to have fun with it much like E probably would have. I love him and wish someone took better care of him so he could still be wowing us like Tony Bennet but that was not to be.

What - Elvis died, again? Is this his third attempt?
The first time he was saved from drowing in a bowl of soup.

Don't blame us here--whole websites are devoted to the topic of Elvis' diet, such as:

www.squidoo.com/eatlikeelvis

And if that isn't enough for you, you can even purchase the Elvis cookbook from Amazon.com:

Thats a great cookbook. The very one we've used for our Elvis feasts over the years. The kids have grown up waiting on January 8th and August 16th. Days of food and DVDs with a soundtrack all day long...great book.

And how many people are there (has there ever been) that are as well known Elvis? How much money per year does he STILL make? I bet a fried banana peanut butter sandwich that Elvis is (would be) delighted with how we all STILL talk about him... sheesh that RIP Horshack thread only got 5 replies(an IORR low post for that type of thing).... most did not even care enough to bash him... poor Horshack. Elvis is bigger than Jesus.

Exactly. Elvis was the king alright--the king of comfort food. I'd like to try that peanut butter bacon cheeseburger recipe I posted above sometime, I probably wouldn't be able to move for about 4 hours--if I could eat the whole thing. I must say, I'm puzzled over the negative, even hostile, reactions of some of the posters on this thread, as if our posts on Elvis' down-home diet were somehow defiling their sacred object--perhaps these posters are just sad inside to begin with, or angry, or both.

NBC news with Brian Williams [the only news good enough to mention the King] reported Elvis Presley's estate made $55 Million in 2011. Not bad for a dead guy....if he's dead...

Amazing... that is absolutley amazing... Good for Elvis...

And.... I'd bet 20 pounds of BBQ Bologna that most Elvis customers did not spend $55 Million on ""fat-Elvis, "Elvis is still alive"/"I saw Elvis at Burger King," and food/hamburger type of stuff"". (no offense meant J, I just think poeple love Elvis for far more)

The same guy to did those Beach Boys sessions? Glen Campbell? [I cheated with the help of Google, but I already knew about GC playing on the BB sessions.]
