I see we are left to use our own sense to determine canny versus uncanny. I say the proper use of the word in this situation should have been 'canny'. Which means 'having or showing shrewdness and good judgment, especially in money or business matters.' So the word canny should be used to connote a similar appearance. Uncanny should be used to state that the second person in line does not look like Elvis.

Does not smack my gob at all.

I'm with you, Bill.

Maybe gobsmacked that anyone would think the guy pictured looks like me.

Elvis only appears on rusty girders and the face of grilled cheese sandwiches.

Well....they both have two legs.

Well, let me be perfectly clear about this. That is indeed special narcotics agent Elvis who I personally made an agent to do undercover work regarding call girls working in The Watergate and providing drugs for many Hollywood types.

I'm pretty sure that's Al Borland from Home Improvement.

Elvis appears to be holding one of those cell phones from the 1920s once again proving time travel is real...

I cannot be gobsmacked.

Yes. It is definitely Elvis. Or maybe a Sasquatch.

I remember being * smacked* by Nursecindy once for a comment about grits. Is that the same thing?

P.S. I’ve never seen Elvis in my grits. Although he did die on my birthday.

Per IMDB, investigative journalists discovered in 2018 he was an extra named Gary Richard Grott, and he passed away in 2016. He was a regular extra in Chris Columbus films. Apparently it's an Elvis-like head movement he made in the film that triggered the speculation, not that any compelling logic is required in these situations. I posit that, with a name like Gary Richard Grott, he was a serial killer who appeared as an extra in feature films and died before he could be caught.

Some of these people have been hitting the eggnog a little early.

Does not look like Elvis at all.

After all this time, every time I see this it still gobsmacks me, and I was there! (BTW Gary Richard Grott was my three-letter agency provided undercover ID)
