Hmm...I don't think Elvis's hips are shriveled even in the grave; muscular yes, but, shriveled...did he ever really wear blue suede shoes? Clever Monoku.

Elvis changed his shoes when his 'babe' stepped on them. And if you believe that, then I've got a swamp in Florida, guaranteed alligator-free... :) gw

Gershon...I can't imagine Elvis's hips shriveling, but I can imagine them swiveling. Gosh, those shoes were all the rage, but I was still wearing Pat Boone's white bucks!

Ah, yet one more literary allusion to be thankful for, Chris: Long fellows, blue suede shoes... perhaps another will surface soon... and... here it comes... Yellow Submarine! ~ gw
