Christmas Elvis

[Lemur]

I promised to share pictures, so I'm being good to my word. Disco, this is for you.

Background: My sister-in-law is one of the few people who know that I used to sing, and sing well. She asked me to belt out some Christmas tunes from her company's float in the Christmas Parade, and I figured that was just ridiculous enough to get my interest. Anyway, the parade happened, I sang my heiney off, and everybody was quite happy with the results.

My favorite moment: Passing a crowd I started ad-libbing a line for them, and a man in front yelled, "Holy ****, that's live!"

Anyway, the company was so pleased they're now featuring my act in their promotions, and I hear they've named me the "Christmas Elvis," which is hilarious, since I wasn't even doing an Elvis impersonation. But hey, I can live with it. I've been called worse things. They commissioned a drawing of the act for some ads, and I just got given a copy of it. Had to share.

Below is a copy of the promotional drawing, and a photo of the actual event. If you ever wondered just how silly and ridiculous the Lemur is, now you know. I have no shame!

You'll note I look kinda beefy in the live picture. That's because I had three to four layers on every inch of my body. It was cold, man.

Nice Lemur, real nice. You look pretty goofy there.

[Whacker]

You sir are a VERY brave soul. And that looks cold as hell.

At least now we know who to call for Elvis impersonations behind the Cheese Curtain©!

Love the Tux. :laugh4:

Gregoshi, sometimes things are better left unsaid, or unsung in this case...

Poor Lemur, the Unsung Hero of the Org. :elvis:

Wha? I always imagined Lemur to be more similar to the REAL Elvis.

Lemur, is that you?

[Louis VI the Fat]

Any chance of a recording? Or (oh please! oh please!) a YouTube video? :2thumbsup:

[Lemur]

Not only do I have no video, I'm lucky to have any pictures. Mrs. Lemur got the time wrong, so she and the kids missed the entire act. Her parents were getting over a cold, so they missed the act. The only relative who saw it was the sister-in-law who commissioned the gig.

Go figure.

No biggie, though. The bank is so happy with the results that they're guaranteed to ask for me again next year. I promise I'll let the other Wisconsin Orgahs know when it's going to happen, so you can have on-site witnesses to my ridiculousness.

I'll make sure to bring a video recorder:laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4:

Edit: and it has not been "cold" yet this year. A tad chilly perhaps but nothing requiring much more than a light jacket or a hoodie.

Edit2: Is it just me or are those laughing smileys not synchronized?

[IrishArmenian]

Its just you.

God... and there I was, thinking Fragony was the Godmother of camp. Respect, Lemur! :bow:
