You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, TRIVIA QUIZzing all the time!

A quick programming note: I'll be on vacation until the 4th!

Today is Elvis Presley Boulevard Day. The City of Memphis voted to name a 12-mile portion of the street that passes Graceland in honor of Elvis. Street signs disappeared immediately.

Today is also Remote Control Day, a favorite observance of couch potatoes everywhere.

On this day in 1956, dressed in a tux and tails on Steve Allen’s TV variety show, Elvis Presley sang "Hound Dog" to a basset hound sitting on a stool.

On this day in 1986 in Louisville, Kentucky a man arrested for drunk driving claimed to be legally blind and that the car was actually being driven by his dog, Sir Anheuser Busch II. He served 30 days in jail.

Ready for some trivia? The founders of Portland, OR chose the name by flipping a coin. What would the name of the new settlement have been if the coin toss had gone the other way?

Good luck :)
