Zint Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 source File under “Ew.” Also, “How much??” A pair of Elvis Presley's apparently pee-stained underpants are set to go up for auction in England next month. Really, is nothing sacred? And would they be worth less clean? The light blue briefs, which were worn by Presley underneath one of his white jumpsuits during a performance in 1977, haven't been washed since Elvis took them off, and apparently feature a yellow stain on the front panel. Sigh. This just raises all sorts of questions. Who picked them up and kept them all these years? What would motivate you to do something like that in the first place? The BBC reports the knickers are expected to fetch some £10,000 – or about CDN $15,000 - when they go on the block September 8 at an auction of Elvis memorabilia in Manchester.The underwear apparently came from the estate of Elvis’ father Vernon Presley. Also up for sale is Elvis' beloved bible, which has been annotated by the iconic performer and is expected to nab about £25,000 (CDN $39,000). The BBC notes that the bible was given to Presley on his first Christmas at Graceland in 1957 and used throughout his life. Priscilla Presley's home movies are also up for grabs. They feature footage of the couple's wedding, as well as of Christmas at Graceland, family holidays and of Elvis and Priscilla bringing their daughter Lisa-Marie home from hospital to Graceland. Man, I hope she made copies. The 35th anniversary Elvis’s death – he suffered a fatal heart attack August 16, 1977 at age 42 - was recently marked by a candlelit vigil at Graceland in Memphis that was attended by some 75,000 fans which frankly seems like a nicer way to remember the man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 What would someone do with them? Put them on your wall and point out to visitors that that ' is pee from the man who sang Hound Dog''? Or wear them perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazey Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Undercrackers from a guy who ate lard sarnies and died on the shithouse. Yeah I can imagine I'd love them hanging above the mantlepiece for when the folks came to visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
