The King hits campus
Elvis returns from outer space to play one-time Missoula show
Story by Michelle Miller
Weekly World Kaimin
Thirty years after digging his way out of a tomb in Graceland, Elvis Presley has returned to Earth for a special appearance at the University of Montana.
The King’s spaceship touched down Monday in Washington-Grizzly Stadium, followed by 70 semi-trucks hauling a massive 10-story stage. Tickets for the performance will be sold using a wristband system.
“I’m very excited to be back here on Earth to perform again,” Presley told the Weekly World Kaimin. Presley said he couldn’t remember ever hearing of Missoula before he departed from the planet in 1977, but nonetheless called Missoula fans the most loyal and dedicated he’d ever known.
“Missoula? Oh, you mean Missouri. Yeah, it’s great,” he said. “Gimmie another one of them fried whatchamacallits … Rocky Mountain Oysters.”

This year, Halloween marks not only that oh-so-favorite time of year when Goth becomes normal and adults scare the bejeezes out of small children guilt-free, but the near two-month anniversary of the death of a media legend. For those of you who haven’t been paying much attention in the Albertson’s checkout line, America’s beloved Weekly World News ceased publishing after its last issue on Aug. 27. So, to celebrate the legacy of a 28-year-old tabloid, the Montana Kaimin has put together the sensational … the earth shaking … the memorial Weekly World Kaimin. Please bear in mind, as you browse these stories and photos during that snorey class in Urey Lecture Hall, that everything printed in the Weekly World Kaimin is fictitious and any resemblance to persons living or dead is strictly coincidental. The advertisements are real, but the news … well, we wish the news were real. Thank you.
