Graceland calling

It’s four in the morning, and you’re crashed out on your rotating King-size waterbed. As you muddle through the puke-green haze brought on by ingesting two dozen deep fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches and enough Demerol to bring down a mature bull elephant, you realize that you need to find a TV repair shop skilled in post-shotgun blast maintenance, as well as a place willing to rent women’s gorilla costumes on short notice.
Sure, you could take the easy way out and let your hyper-fancy iPhonePodGiga 3.7 do the heavy lifting, but what’s the point of killing yourself slowly via bloated overindulgence if you don’t do it in style?
To that end, I give you…

Make no mistake, this truly is the ultimate Elvis telephone, meaning that all previous Elvis-branded telecommunications devices were but imperfect shadows cast on the walls of the Jungle Room.

That is…something else…
I have just enough weird love of Elvis to think that is the most horrible thing I have ever seen AND the most perfectly awesome thing I’ve ever seen.
Elvis contains multitudes.

Oh, well-off Baby Boomers, how I love you and the insane products marketed towards you.
My favorite remains the Sharper Image’s Elvis Fetish Robot

So that phone has modern push-button dialling, with the buttons arranged in a circle to mimic an old-style rotary-dial telephone. So why not go the whole hog, and give it a rotary dial? “Antique-style’ my @$$- I’d bet Elvis never used a push-button phone in his life.
