For Halloween this year, I want to dress as that great and legendary Roman citizen, Centurion Biggus Dickus.

Let us discuss.

I am a Life of Brian fanatic! Must have seen the movie 50 times. So i hate to tell you that Biggus Dickus was not a centurion- but in fact a Roman Consul- maybe evena Senator. how do i know?

From the movie, Brian tells Pilate that his father was 'Naughtius Maximus', a centurion in the Jerusalem Garrison. At which info - all the attending Roman soldiers snicker.

Pilate: Centuwion, do you have anyone named Maughtius Maximus in the Jerusawem Gawison?" (Guards snicker)
Centurion: "No sir, No one by that name sir!" (Guards snicker)
Pilate: " Are You sure?" (Guards snicker)
Centurion: "Yes, Sir. It's a joke name sir, Like Sillius Soddus or Biggus Dickus.." (Guards laugh outright)
Pilate: "Biggus Dickus? Biggus Dickus? i have a vewy gweat fwiend in Wome named Biggus Dickus!"
***********************
So we can assume being a friend of Pilate's Biggis Dickus has to be at least a Consul or a Senator to be a fwiend of a man like Pilate.

Incidentlally Biggus Dickus is married to a woman named Incontinita Buttocks, and of course has a speech impediment as well. He lisps his SHs come out to be THs.

When Pilate announces to the Crowd his famous "Wome is your Fwiend" speech and offers to welease one of the pwisoners from Pwison- Thye mock his speech impediament... "Welease Woger!" They shout. "Welaese Wodewick"

Biggus bursts in and says to Pilate. "Pontius! I maybe of use in in the thudden Critheth!" He addresses the people and reads froma ascroll all the criminals in the jails- "Thitizens! We have Thamson the Thaducee Thrangler! Theven theditious thribes form Thesasera...." And the crows =d goes crazy.
*******************************
The BEST lines come from all this.
Pilate: "Centuwion? Why do they titter so?
Centurion:"Its a Jewish Joke, sir. its a bit strange."
Pilate: "What? Do you find yourself wattled by a wabble of jewish webels?"
Centurion(confuesed)" A bit Thundery, sir."
Pilate(equally confused): "Right.."
*************************

This is from memory - but i KNOW that movie and laugh at snatches of its dialogue whenever i think of them.
*****************
My favorite bit in the movie comes from the prisoner who only got hung right side up yesterday after being in jail for twenty years, talking to Brian about being in jail for attacking Pilate.

Prisoner: "You'll probably get off with Cruxifixion!"
Brian: "CRUXIFIXION?!!!"
Prisoner: "Oh yes, Cruxifixion is the best thing the Romans ever did for us! Without it , the country would be in a right bloody mess! Nail 'em up i say! Nail some sense into 'em!"
Brian (panicked): GUARD!!!

Guard appears and sneers: "What do you want?"
Brian: " canm you Put me into another cell? This man is insane!" (prisoner laughs)
Guard: "Ha!" and spits in Brians face and leaves.
Prisoner: "Oh to be spat at in the face! I lay awake nights dreaming of being spat at in the face! They must think God shines out your asshole, sonny!"
******************
Like i said- i love that movie!
