the weirdest thing I’ve seen in Stratford (so far)

I dunno what this Elvis impersonator was doing there on the High Street, but he was kinda cute in a Bruce Campbell kind of way, and he came complete with his own white stretch American limo.

I should have thought to get a picture of him with Nigel...

I was in Stratford last weekend. I saw Darth Vadar walking towards me across the bridge by Cox's Yard. He was in full regalia, including drawn light sabre, and must have been melting in the heat.

There must be something in the water!

Dayum! That's a nice one! (Then again, I have a soft spot for "Big Elvis," a performer in Las Vegas, who has to be on the far, far side of 400 pounds...)

The high collar and all, though...this might be some sort of a retro-houpelande. Maybe he's in a post-Apocalyptic, trans-oceanic, neo-rockabilly version of "Henry V".

Elvis is everywhere
Elvis is everything
Elvis is everybody
Elvis is still the king

Man o man
What I want you to see
Is that the big E's
Inside of you and me

Elvis is everywhere, man!
He's in everything.
He's in everybody...

Elvis is in your jeans.
He's in your cheesburgers
Elvis is in Nutty Buddies!
Elvis is in your mom!

He's in everybody.
He's in the young, the old,
the fat, the skinny,
the white, the black
the brown and the blue
people got Elvis in 'em too

Elvis is in everybody out there.
Everybody's got Elvis in them!
Everybody except one person that is...
Yeah, one person!
The evil opposite of Elvis.
The Anti-Elvis

Anti-Elvis got no Elvis in 'em,

Dick Cheney has no Elvis in him.

And Elvis is in Joan Rivers
but he's trying to get out, man!
He's trying to get out!
Listen up Joanie Baby!

Elvis is everywhere
Elvis is everything
Elvis is everybody
Elvis is still the king

Man o man
What I want you to see
Is that the big E's
Inside of you and me

Man, there's a lot of unexplained phenomenon
out there in the world.
Lot of things people say
What the heck's going on?

Let me tell ya!

Who built the pyramids?
ELVIS!
Who built Stonehenge?
ELVIS!

Yeah, man you see guys

pushing shopping carts
and you think they're talking to allah,
they're talking to themself.
Man, no they're talking to ELVIS!
ELVIS! ELVIS!

Aahh! The Sailing Elvis!
Captain Elvis!
Commodore Elvis it is.

Yeah man, you know people from outer space,
people from outer space they come up to me.
They don't look like like Doctor Spock.
They don't look like Klingons,
all that Star Trek jive.

They look like Elvis.
ELVIS!
Everybody in outer space looks like Elvis.
Cause Elvis is a perfect being.
We are all moving in perfect peace and harmony towards Elvisness

Soon all will become Elvis.
Everything everywhere will be Elvis.
Why do you think they call it evolution anyway?
It's really Elvislution!

There's more. But this is pretty much the gist of it.
