there are a few things wrong in there, as we all know...ill do the first one

Elvis smoked like a chimney LOL (not cigs, but cigarellos)same thing....

Ah but Kirk did Elvis inhale his smoke lol

Funny you did ask, because i also did too, i used to chat with Marty Lacker, and he said Elvis 'sometimes did' but either way, he still is smoking. and he started those when he was very young about 19, and did until he was 42...so you would think he was addicted in one way or another, wouldnt you?

As for fav foods:
Yummy sauerkraut, whenever I cook polish sausage I make this stuff. I will put the sauerkraut into a pan and heat it up some and add bacon bits into it and serve it along the side with polish sausage...

As for another hobby of his numerology, use to be one of mine many years ago. Around 78-20, I was a member of the New Age Centre in Toronto.

Mark about Elvis smoking I have something to share with you here.

As you might know, Larry Geller was good and close friends with Elvis.

Any way, I am also friends with Larry and have communicated with him intermittently over the past few years. I got in touch with him just last night on the subject of Elvis' smoking and if Elvis "inhale" and here is Larry's response...

Hi Charmaine ~

I hope this finds you well, and I'm very glad that you've been feeling better. Elvis did not inhale cigars - no way! I will check out your My space.

Blessings,
Larry
