Don't worry, you won't get any Bubotuber pus from this quarter.  
Actually, I'm usually embarrassed to admit I love Elvis.  He's such an 
American cliche, and I get the feeling people are giving me this "I 
bet you read the National Enquirer every week, too--but where's your 
big hair?" look whenever I say I'm an Elvis fan.  But what I love 
about him is that he really sings every song with his whole soul, the 
exceptions being tossed-off concert performances of his big 50's 
hits--I get the feeling, listening to them, that his manager said "you 
HAVE to do 'Hound Dog' or they'll riot" and Elvis just thought, "fine, 
I'll do it but I don't have to like it."
