    Unhappy Christmas Elvis

    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.

    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.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Have you just been dumped?

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

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

    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

    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?

    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli
