There are some stories which make me smile and none more of the reported third place Elvis took in his own look-a-like competition and Dolly Parton being beaten into 2nd place in hers by a drag queen.
Charlie Chaplain apparently was also beaten in a similar contest by two people who were apparently more like Chaplain than himself and you would think that the guy who voices Elmo on the Muppet Show would pretty much be the automatic winner of any Elmo impression competition but he failed to convince a bunch of judges at an event with one saying that even he could do a more convincing Elmo impersonation.
These came to mind while reading about Violin virtuoso Joshua Bell, him with the £3.5 million Stradivarius violin and is generally accepted as the best violinist in the World and known for playing complex masterpieces on his expensive instrument.
The story was that days after selling out a concert in Washington at hundreds of pounds a seat, he performed a free mini-concert at a subway station for 45 minutes, performing six classical pieces in all.
Assuming he was a busker, he raised $32 from passer-by's, brilliant.

no other blogs seem to have the problem with not permitting comments... how strange... and so often it is on one of your less intelligent opinions...
Maybe other blogs haven't seen you removed previously for hate speech. You are obviously on their radar. Google is watching you..how's that make you feel?
i was removed? when?
where did you get this fake news... this just substantiates your duplicity...
what the f*** are you talking about?
Selective memory? Blogger deleted your comments and you said it was due to you doing something on your other blog and ‘accidentally’ deleting them? Need me to find the comments and email from blogger to jog your memory or you going to just flat out lie and deny it???
