Rush or no Rush?  Ariel or Terrestrial?
The Shadow understands that David & Sue Rush have sold their house in Hawthorn in anticipation of moving in to an apartment in the huge, splendidly controversial, Ariel development at Camberwell Junction.  But, as we read in the local free press, Ariel is not flying towards its completion at its expected rate.  So, David & Sue are apparently having an enforced holiday at their holiday house at the quiet-in-the-off-season tip of the Mornington Peninsular.  No hardship, we trust.  Probably a case of “no rush for Rush”!

The Shadow also overhead some legalistic phrasing of another Elvis tragic  admiting  that they listened to the Elvis hour Sunday evening on 1278AM.   David Corrigan is too young, so who......?

 
Bernie Walshe Naked on Parade?
Who amongst us can remember back to our National Service?  Bernie Walshe evidently has clear recollections of several episodes in his pre-Vietnam-war stint in the army; including something about a parade at dawn near a railway siding in which all participants were totally naked.  The Shadow reckons that a special lunch address is called for.  Maybe “Member Behind the Badge Lacking a Fig Leaf” ?

 5 years Gaol for $5 Forgery
It was our Elvis special speaker/singer who told us how Elvis’s dad had been gaoled for 5 years for having changed a cheque from $3 to $8.  But which of our members was it who cried out “Quite Right!”?  No doubt he is an honourable man who just got carried away.  So, we expect him to ‘fess up’, and The Shadow has no doubt that a jury of all his fellow members – being modern and compassionate - will spare him a flogging with a cat-o’-nine-tales.
