Today marks the 28th anniversary of the death of Elvis Presley. Last night on NPT they had a live vigilcast from Graceland, I had planned on liveblogging it, but I got distracted with the new NCAA playstation game and lost my evening to that. I do now see they’ve posted the video to the website, so, I’ll just go ahead and faux-liveblog it as if I actually watched it live. (And actually cared.)

Vigilcast Liveblog:

1:00pm: Elvis is still dead.
1:15pm: Elvis is still dead.
1:30pm: Elvis is still dead.
1:37pm: Did I just see someone beat a dead horse?
1:45pm: Elvis is still dead.

I’m sensing a pattern here. Maybe I can stop now.

Perry March arrived from Los Angeles last night wearing a striped shirt.

Everyone knows a striped shirt means he’s here to party. Do they have Golden Tee at the Metro Jail?

What exactly is this graphic telling us? The only thing I can figure out is that Larry Brinton has gone to Chicago to take custody of the March children. Also, based on the use of picture of Mr. Brinton I can only assume the man cropped out of the photo of the kids is Darian Trotter.

Of course, far be it from me to start a rumor.

Read all about it.

UPDATE: I hear that MSIE users can’t see the animation above. To fix that, click here. To see the animation, click here.

On the right, Rob Schenider as Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, appearing soon in a theater near you. On the left, Perry March, appearing soon in a courthouse near you.

One will be over in 100 minutes. The other will take years.

OK, you can’t tell me that the disappearance of Roboto from the blogging scene isn’t related to the arrest of Perry March.

So Roboto=Perry March.

Who would have thought.

Last December I bought twelve copies of the annual calendar that is sold to raise money for the Nashville Humane Association. Why so many? Turned out that Abby is Miss November.

Now, I’ve been using my calendar seven months now, last week I discovered something pretty interesting:

That’s right. There are two July 16ths. And yes, it does throw off the calendar for the rest of the year. If I made an appointment with you over the last week, please forgive me if I showed up a day late.

As for the calendar, sure, sure… it’s off by a day and might be useless for planning events, trips, anniversaries, birthdays, or other festive occasions, but If you’ve got one of these I would still recommend keeping it up until at least November. Or, if you are already resolved to keep it up even though the calendar is off by a day, you might want to just flip forward to November. That way you’ve got 5 whole months to look at Abby.

Also, I would wager to say that Nashville Humane is looking for a new copy editor. To volunteer, please call (615) 352-1010.

UPDATE: An astute commenter has noticed that there is no 23rd, either. Seems like after a week the calendar corrects itself. Must be like one of those alarm clocks that automatically syncs itself with the atomic clock in Colorado.

This actually makes me feel a lot better to know that the calendar is right past July, I was going to have to go and do some serious revisions to my timesheets at work.
