I have just found out that St Elvis was real and has a parish named after him,
as witness this photo:

So, we're saying here that Elvis is a living saint?
The First Church of Jesus Christ, Elvis (http://jubal.westnet.com/hyperdiscordia/sacred_heart_elvis.html)
No, seemingly he was a 5th or 6th century saint (http://everything2.com/title/Saint+Elvis) who baptised St Patrick. His name also has many other weird forms - a Welsh one, Eilw, is also on that sign.
...but was he the Best Welsh Elvis (http://www.elvies.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2106)?
:mrgreen: We shall never know: he's a bit too dead to enter.
One can never be too dead to impersonate Elvis.
Aaaand someone has apparently made a wine in honour of him:

Seriously, how much more Tim Powers can you get? ;)
Great, all we need is Elvis wafers and we can take Elvis communion. ::)

Do you think these will do?
Hmmmm... the peanut butter factor certainly seems appropriate.
There's also an Elvis wafer (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ELVIS-WAFER-RICE-PAPER-CAKE-TOPPER-PARTY-FUN-MEDIUM-/200378059842?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Uk_Crafts_Cake_Decorating_MJ&hash=item2ea7768c42) for sale on EBay, if you don't mind also eating the words "Happy 40th Mum".
Maybe those words might invalidate the sacramental properties of the holy wafer? :mrgreen:
Perhaps we could say they were referring to the Holy Mum?
Perhaps they refer to his mum.

Hmmmm, I do seem to recollect The King being nicer to his mum (at least in public) than The Prince of Peace was to his...
