welcome to blelvis


Are you ever nostalgic for the days of Blelvis -- Black Elvis, who used to skulk around the streets of Adams Morgan and sing you any Elvis Presley song you could think of? I'm beginning to think that he's been a casualty of the "War on Terror" --
such that the Bush administration was terrified of a black man singing Elvis Presley songs, and had him deported to Guantanamo as an "enemy singer/impersonator." There's been a guy named Pelvis, the Peruvian Elvis, walking around Adams Morgan lately, but it's fishy. There's also someone going around named Whouis Armstrong, the White Louis, but that's not the same either. And Juke Ellington, the Jewish Duke. All of these men cannot be trusted, and are probably undercover NSA Agents, aka Non Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Agents, who have been sent out to reduce swelling in urban areas. But I'm here to tell you -- that's a violation of our constitutional rights.

If you, too, would like to swell in an urban area, join us for another round of Drink & Walk, the happy hours that stands for an American's right to inflammation. All the other happy hours would rather that you apply an ice pack, or elevate your limbs, or take an aspirin. But not Drink & Walk. We want you to be roused, rowdy, ridiculous, omnivorous, and, in the words of Mike Tyson: "Ludicrouth." We want you to be so inflamed, it'll be ludicrouth how inflamed you are. i.e., Party for your right to swell, swelter, helter-skelter.

Is the host of that video the whitest guy in America or what? "Say you'd put that effort towards medical research or physics or something like that?" What an oaf!

I'm going to be at drink to walk next week, everybody, and my rage is going to be righteous. Wear a hat.

I'm now infiltrating this website under my own name, just like I'm going to infiltrate drink or walk this coming Thursday. My rage will be righteous.

I was serenaded by Blelvis around 3:30am in Mount Pleasant a few days ago -- as great as always!

I first met Blelvis on U St a couple years ago while I was on my way to Ben's Chili Bowl with a friend from out of town. Last night was this friend's birthday and I just happened to run into Blelvis again outside of Wonderland in Columbia Heights. Blelvis and I left her an amazing happy birthday message!

Blelvis is still alive and well. He thoroughly impressed me last night outside the Wonderland Ballroom Bar.

The words I gave him:

Transubstantiation - "Miracle of the Rosary"

Arrogance - "Big Boss Man"
