Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

Yes, but it goes great with wood paneling, and it is so friggin' cool. I mean, does anything scream cool better than the Jungle Room at Graceland?

I think not!
I have to agree with you there. I toured Graceland years ago, and the Jungle Room was definitely the coolest & my favorite....especially the waterfall.

The infamous jungle room was originally a screened in back patio that sat behind the kitchen. In the 1960s, Elvis made the patio part of the main house, complete with a working waterfall on the far wall.
The waterfall was a great idea, but was a thorn in Elvis' side because it leaked and flooded.
The jungle room was loaded with exotic plants, animal prints and floor-to-ceiling shag carpet in what can only be described as an African motif.

Graceland is sweet. I worked a job that put me in Memphis for 6 months (great city, and some of the best strip clubs in the US, at least at the time). and a bunch of us did the tour of Graceland. The jungle room was definitely my favorite. And I liked the TV room with the TV's Elvis used to shoot out. And the private jets were da bomb (were they jets or was one a prop plane? I just remember all the gold).

Both the planes were jets I believe.

Elvis purchased a 1958 Convair 880 in April 1975 and named it Lisa Marie after his daughter. He spent more than $800,000 having the jet remodeled. Climb aboard this customized jet that features a living room, conference room, sitting room, and private bedroom, as well as gold-plated seatbelts, suede chairs, leather covered tables, 24-karat gold-flecked sinks and more.
Then, take a peek inside Elvis' smaller Lockheed Jet Star

By "prop" I meant propeller. I think one was a jet and one was a propeller plane, could be mistaken

Thanks, I remembered one aircraft was smaller but didn't recall if it was a jet or a turboprop. I remember all the gold though. Yes, the pink Cadillac, that was a sweet ride.

Looks like the farmhouse I used to live in on a long dirt road in the middle of nowhere. Of course it always reminded me of the house in Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I always had the spooks there. I kept trying to tell everyone that someone was out in the garage across the yard and they thought I was crazy until one day they found cigarette butts from a different brand than they smoked.. We moved out soon. The house is even creepier now
