We watched “Dress to Kill” again the other night and I was reminded that I find the line about “The Gospel according to St. Bastard” to be very funny. So I Dogpiled St. Bastard and found out that there is a band called St. Bastard, more than one LiveJournal calling itself The Gospel according to St. Bastard and a few SCA events for the Feast of St. Bastard. I wonder when his feast day is, April 15? He’d make a good patron saint for some people.
“And Henry VIII, a big hairy king, went up to the Pope and said, “Mr. Pope! I’m gonna marry my first wife, then I’m gonna divorce her. Now, I know what you’re gonna say, but stick with me. My story gets better. Second wife, I’m gonna kill her! Cut her head off. Ah, not expecting that, are we? Third wife gonna shoot her. Fourth wife, put her in a bag. Fifth wife, into outer space. Sixth wife, on a rotissamat. Seventh wife, made out of jam…” and the Pope is saying, “You crazy bugger! You can’t do all this, what are you a Mormon? It’s illegal. What have you been reading? The gospel according to St. Bastard?”–Eddie Izzard
