Title: Elvis v immigrants ;-)
Post by: Hope on September 26, 2015, 06:51:15 PM
"In 1977, there were 127 Elvis impersonators.  BY 2002 there were 85000.  At that rate of growth, by 2019, a third of the world's population will be Elvis impersonators.  And Britain First bleat about immigrants taking over??"http://on.fb.me/1KFoF0M (on Facebook)

Hope, one of the best Elvis impersonators I've seen was a Chinese chap that was unmistakably Chinese, he was tremendous fun with it; what a treat.

I'd say one Elvis impersonator is one Elvis impersonator too many.

They'll change our way of life you know. Expect a brylcreme shortage and demands for the wearing of silver lame in public.

There are so many immigrants here that one of them trod on my foot yesterday. I said to him "don't you step on my blue suede shoes".

And where would a huge influx of Elvis impersonators end up?

An antitheist comedian was about to appear as a warm up act for Elvis but apparently couldn't because he felt a little funny.........Elvis told him to go ''Ho Ho Hon yeaeaeh'' before it wore off.

Several Elvis impersonators make small keepsakes which they fashion out of sticks and odd offcuts of wood. I have an example of several of these sculptings.......but ''I don't have a wooden heart''.

Which does nothing to address the issues around Elvis impersonators. A little less conversation, a little more action, please.

They also fashion things out of stones......one Elvis impersonator made a jailhouse rock.

I heard that a TV chef has hired a bunch of Elvis impersonators to be in his band of mercenaries. They're looking for somewhere to live because Oliver's army is here to stay.

Nobody said it had to be Elvis Presley did they?

A bunch of Elvis impersonators were supposed to be doing a charity gig  following Marcel Marceau, but every time they went near the stage he (and the rest of his support cast) would stop and stare at them.

After several attempts to get on stage the Elvises (Elvese?) started to argue about which of them should go on first. Eventually the stage manager ran over and demanded that they all get on stage.

At which point one of them told him, "But we can't go on together, with suspicious mimes..."

Quite so.  It's Now or Never.

These things are always on my mind.

It's been interesting to see the humour this has created, but it is clear that some here haven't realised the nature of Britain First.  http://www.britainfirst.org/

There was an Elvis impersonator who was also a model railway enthusiast. For his birthday he was given a surprise gift of a coal truck. 'Love me tender!' he declared.

No, we are aware. Which is why humour is necessary. Haven't you heard of satire? Laughing at this is a pretty good response.

I FEEL SO BAD that you lot are so hardhearted, mocking Elvis impersonators. This is just TOO MUCH. The Britain First movement spells TROUBLE but I BELIEVE the Elvis impersonators are just having a PARTY. DON'T BE CRUEL.

We're quite selective with pets.....usually it ain't nothing but a hound dog.
