[STORY TIME] 🤢🍹 DRUNK ELVIS (1968)

Story told by Charlie Hodge.

Next to him are Joe Esposito and Larry Geller. All men, Memphis Mafia. You can hear the story on the video above, if you prefer, or you can scroll down and read it (Charlie is the way to go, press the play button). But before the story, just wanted to say: Charlie was so funny! The "huey" joke! LOL! I adore him. ♥ Rest in peace, sweet Charlie, also Joe. God bless your souls.

[STORY TIME] 🍹

Well, as we know, Elvis was not a drinker. Hardly he'd get interested a few drinks, but that's the thing: when a person like that drinks and gets carried away, he goes all the way, not knowing his own safe limits; in reality it doesn't take that much alcohol to make 'em tipsy. As any person who didn't drink often, Elvis' tolerance for alcohol was very low - taking from the stories told over the years. Sometimes disasters happen when one not used to drink have too much drinking, other times just funny things take place. Charlie is talking about one of those moments for Elvis, a funny one.

According to Hodge, he and the guys (Memphis Mafia) were with Elvis in Palm Springs, on set while he was filming a movie during the 60's. Charlie recalls it as being 'Live A Little, Love a Little' — for which filming began on March 13th, with principal photography ending in May 1st, 1968, so that story happened in early 1968.

Charlie says Elvis was filming one of the scenes he's in the sea, when he complained the water was too cold. He then asked his guys if they happen to have anything to drink, so could use the liquor to help keeping his body warm while he was filming that sea scene. They didn't have any, so they sent Charlie to buy some. Charlie bought a peach brandy and rum, so he came back with it and Elvis drank it... but it turns out he liked the peach liquor, a little too much.

Normally people who don't drink they go ease with sweet tasting liquor and they don't stop drinking, simply because don't feel getting drunk... until they are hammered. This happened to poor Elvis a few times.

When he finished the one peach brandy drink he had, on their way home after shooting day was over, Charlie mentions how Elvis was already slurred speech/swaying drunk but he said he liked the drink and wanted to go buy some more. The guys stopped by a liquor store. There, silly Elvis enters the store and absentminded goes walking around, calmly checking the options as if nothing was happening around, while "poor Joe", as Charlie says, was desperate to get him back in the car, in fear some mob took place if people found out Elvis was there.

Well, they got home safely after all, and El had all the drinks he wanted until everybody heads to their own bedrooms. Charlie says Elvis was wearing his blue nylon jammies and, he jokes about it, saying all the guys too were wearing blue nylon jammies that night, actually; in his words, "because we figured, if Elvis looks good in blue nylon jammies, we do too!" 😆

Shortly after, Joe Esposito hears a knock on his bedroom door. He opens the door and sees Elvis standing two-hands leaned against Joe's bedroom door frames, ill looking (clearly sick from the drinking).

El looked at Joe and said,

"Joe, I'm dying."

Esposito tried to calm him down, telling him he was alright and he should go back to his bedroom and just lay down and sleep, but Elvis ignored.

"Call daddy" (Vernon)", he said to Joe.

"Tell him to sell Graceland. He doesn't need that big old place... and sell all the cars, he don't need them too."

Joe continued trying to calm Elvis down, ignoring the nonsense the man was saying, but El (as any good wasted person who thinks he's in perfect clear estate of mind), insisted,

"I'm not kidding, I'm dying!"

Finally Joe got to send Elvis went back to his own bedroom, but soon EP was back repeating the same things. "I'm dying." According to Charlie, this went on for about three times. On the third time, as soon as Elvis said, "I'm dying" again, he threw up right in front of Joe. 🤢

Can you picture drunk Elvis? (LOL) Those little anecdotes of Elvis Presley's life are just so fun to hear about! That bring him closer to us, making that god-like looking man feel like any friend of ours, or even ourselves. I love hearing those "hammered Elvis" stories, don't you?

What kind of drunk person you think our sweet El was?

I think he would get extra affectionate, mellow and even needy, which makes me crave to be right there with him. ♥

Oh my god yall heads up yea i been drinkin a bit this night but oh my god

Like in not into cars or vehicles or shit like that but oh my god whenever the batmibile shows up im just like 😭😭😭😤😤😤🤘🤘🤘

(yes i cried over a fictional car don't judge me lololololol 😆😆😆😅😅😅)

Also I'm putting this under a read more cause potential spoilers for the new batman movie??

TLDR; the batman was a good movie i recommend it i kinda ended up ranting but it was good!! 🦇🦇🦇👍👍👍

Batman represents hope. If he was just edgy and cynical and shit he would be a supervilkain. But he had this super traumatic experience as a child and ended up being up like "you know what this happened not just as a result of one person's choices but as a result of an entire system if corruption and bullshit that's affecting everyone in this city and in gonna do what i can to stop it"

Like it's cool when it's this whole conspiracy to murder the waynes but my personal favorite is when it's just joe chill, just one dude in hard times who made a shitty decision. And bruce is able to see past his own pain to realize the larger problem at work. And yeah this movie went more in the conspiracy direction but it still landed on the whole "batman represents hope for a broken city" thing and i love them for it 🥰🥰🥰 (like that whole "my parents taught me sometimes you die alone in a gutter" thing was an interesting take, but thats not a hero line, that's a villain line. Yeah on the exterior hes intimidating and sinister and even villainous-ish but at his core batman always has been a hero. He's about doing the right thing, for the greater good)

With his resources he coulda easily been a villain or focused solely on personal vengeance but the fact that he focuses on making Gotham a better place for the average citizen shows that he still has heart

Also look i dint have a whole lotta cishet ships that id call otp, like sure there's some pairs out there i like but i just don't feel that strongly about them i could probably count cishet otps on one hand and still have a couple fingers left but batcat is like. On that short list.

I just love them so much 🥰🥰🥰 They're both this broken disenfranchised individuals who are doing their best (yes Selena does her best mostly to benefit herself but whatever lololol she's not a bad person she's just not trying to save the world lololol 😆😆😆) and they prioritize their secret identities and who would better understand that then each other??

Anyways i love them and i was *somewhat* wellfed but not as much as i was expecting and the ending....

I dunno, I'll have to watch it again to make up my mind 😑😑😑

I don't want them to ride off into the sunset together but i want them to work together again?? I feel like batman returns got their dynamic down so good 😍😍😍

Sorry but i totally lost track of this post lololol 😆😆😆

#rant lol #shitpost lol 😆 #the batman lol #i love batman and its characters so much i wish i could do fanart but it's a really difficult style for me to draw 😖😖😖 #this could just be the alcohol talking but it was such a good movie 😆😆😆 #and i had such low expectations now lololol and i still feel like robert pattinson needs to bulk up a bit for the next film lol 😆😆😆 #drunk posting lol 😅😅😅🍺🍺🍺🥃🥃🥃 #i was kinda disappointed by ben afflecks batman not gonna lie but i was actually kinda pleased by this version #i feel like it's a good take on the character that doesn't forget what he's really about lol
