My gun's been took, mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!


Now, just a little more than a month since some crazed lunatic entered the state Capitol with a gun claiming to be the Emperor, comes news that the prized black, 9mm Smith and Wesson pistol belonging to the King has been taken.
That's right. Some crazed fan has taken Elvis's prized weapon from his Graceland estate.
Troubling on so many levels. First off, I think federal law prohibits any Elvis fans, especially those Graceland pilgrimage dorks*, from owning firearms, bow and arrows or even frying pans.
Second, I just guess nothing is sacred anymore. People, this is Elvis' crap, leave it alone or you're going to the soap on the jail shower floor version of "Jailhouse Rock."
Third, Elvis is eventually going to come back since he's not really dead and simply sharing an exotic Pacific Island nursing home with Amelia Earhart (not the KOA traffic reporter), Glenn Miller and Burl Ives. And, when he does come back, there's going to be a lot of crazies and he's going to need that gun. So, whoever took it, just give it back and there won't be any questions asked..... I'm waiting. OK, nobody's leaving this blog till we find out who took it. If that gun turns up on Ebay, somebody's getting a spankin.
