#1 I was driving through Vegas yesterday. When I stopped for gas at the full service pump - you guessed it - a slightly overweight, strangely familiar man pumped my gas, cleaned my windshield, and checked my oil.

I worked up my courage - I didn't want to scare a man who was content to let the world think was dead. "Hey, thanks, King!" I said, tipping the long, lost celebrity a $5.00.

He did one his trademark karate moves, winked, and said, "Thanks, infidel!"

And as one hand groomed his ridiculous Groucho Marx mustache while his other hand fondled his gold-plated handgun, I drove off into the Sunset.

Wow. I had seen the King.

#4 I just got a letter the other day from Elvis. He said that his intergalactic Gig with the aliens that kidnapped him in exchange for the warp drive plans and equations has another 5 months on the contract. Make sure the pool is clean and the AC turned on at Graceland when he gets back, or there'll be hell to pay.

Oh, and Jimmy Hoffa says hi. Couldn't say much more, due to the rush between the meetings where he's representing the Pentabularians in a labor dispute with the Traxil.

#5 How gullible are people if anyone believes this. No video, no audio, just a fax? Probably in the same handwriting as the fax's from Bin Laden. Show us the video you cheap-ass tin-pot swine of an ex-dictator!

#6 Well, things are looking up! For weeks now all we had was a smoking hole. Now we've got a fax. Next week it will be SNL.
