I dont know which I find funnier:
1.) The fact that a guard dog ate Elvis’s teddy bear collection
2.) The fact that Elvis even had a teddy bear collection
3.) The fact that some brit’ named “Sir Benjamin Slade” paid $75,000 for the teddy bear collection
Did anyone ever think to wash off the butter juice and bacon bits? You cant blame the dog. I bet most of Graceland smells like an omelet.
I hereby nominate Sir Benjamin Slade as the first honorary member of SLTS. Because buying Elvis’s teddy bear collection for 75 grand sounds exactly like the sort of thing I would do.

Direct quote from the article:
“The collection was so valuable that the insurance company insisted the exhibitors guard it with dogs.”

With a collection that valuable – I am surprised that it wasnt kept in the cryogenic chamber along with Elvis’s head. Oops – I shouldn’t have said that. Hold on a sec - it’s major league baseball calling……

Re-reading old entries instead of working….oh, yeah!
The line “I bet most of Graceland smells like an omelet.” Was an overlooked masterpiece.

It’s a toss up between an omelet or two mini tacos.
