there’s a pretty little thing waiting for the King down in the Jungle Room…) was awesome and I want me one o’ them. Everyone needs green shag carpeting on the ceiling!
After the tour, we went back across the street so I could buy an Elvis shot glass (shaddup) and a few other things, then we went to eat lunch at the Rockabilly Cafe. We all had cheeseburgers and they weren’t bad. Fred also bought a fried nanner sandwich for us to share, and let me just say, yuck. Too much butter, too much peanut butter. It was gross, but the spud seemed to like it. (For those of you who have no idea what a fried nanner sandwich is – it’s a peanut butter and banana sandwich, fried like you’d fry a grilled cheese sandwich, only in a ton of butter. Elvis loved ’em, or so they say.)
(Let us not mention the fact that my mother once made me a peanut butter, banana, and MAYO sandwich and amazingly it was REALLY GOOD (yes it was!). She told me it was another favorite of Elvis’.)
Once we’d killed a couple of hours at Graceland and eating lunch, we still had time to kill (did I mention we went to Memphis because Fred’s mother had an all-day appointment at a hearing clinic?), so we went to Border’s and looked browsed for an hour or so. Then we went back to the hearing clinic to pick up Fred’s mom and had to wait for a little while, and like the idiot I am I didn’t bring a BOOK with me (it’s sad but true that I have a book with me when I don’t need one, and don’t have one when I do. Damnit.), but I did get to stare at this sign:
Yes, it amuses me that they carry sushi at the gas station – though I’m one to talk, since I buy my sushi at TARGET. So I’ll shut up now.
Anyway, we left at 6:20 am and got home at about 6:50 pm. It was a long damn drive with not much to look at and not one I’m eager to do again anytime soon!
Fred’s got an entry with Graceland pictures, here.
He’s also got a funny-ass entry for Sunday.

Sushi at the gas station! How about that 21.9 for a gallon of premium?!
I agree with Frog – that’s the part of the photo that caught my attention! And thanks for the links to Fred’s entries. The Publix shopping experience was hilarious!
Gas station sushi, mmmmmmmm NO! but the cartoon strip was stellar! Loved it!
Later, I am expanding into videos and live bait!
You know your cats probably collaborated on the last cartoon don’t you?
After Kathy’s entry and this one..I am getting a little leary of my cat!
Hey Robin….reading your comic strips (and having a good hort over them, hehee!) reminded me to let you know that the JIG IS UP with Postcards for Mom! Did you hear?? Will and his mom were interviewed by a newspaper and now his mom knows all about it….they are now auctioning off a chance to have a new mom, on eBay….I will forward you the article….
When I was a kid 7 years old and a latchkey child for shame :0P My brothers and I would make fried banana, peanut butter, and marshmellow goo sandwiches. They were pretty damn good and had you bouncing off the walls in no time.
I’m jealous! At least your gas is under $2.00 a gallon – ours is $2.42 for regular unleaded at the cheapo gas station. Yikes – I guess that’s what I get for living in California…too freaking expensive!
Yay, I can finally post without being paranoid about raising your suspicions about Secret Goddess-stuff, tho it seems I gave it away too early. 🙂
I’ve really been enjoying your blog, Robyn, esp. the photos of the cats.
Debbie
LOL . . Great stuff Robyn 🙂
The sushi didn’t blow me away nearly as much as the CHEAP gas prices y’all pay! The cheapest gas I can find in Pasadena, CA is around $2.21/gallon!!
Welcome back from Memphis! Glad you enjoyed Graceland. The King! I love the stuff from your Secret Goddess. What a fun idea. The cat comic is awesome…
Gee to think you were only about an hour away from me while you were in Memphis! Hope you all had a great time!
Love that comic strip!
