Bubastis

"When the Egyptians travel to Bubastis, they do so in this manner: men and women sail together, and in each boat there are many persons of both sexes. Some of the women shake their rattles and some of the men blow their pipes during the whole journey, while others sing and clap their hands. If they pass a town on the way, some of the women land and shout and jeer at the local women, while others dance and create a disturbance. They do this at every town on the Nile. When they arrive at Bubastis, they begin the festival with great sacrifices, and on this occasion, more wine is consumed than during the whole of the rest of the year."

At least now when I'm shitfaced I can tell people it's for a religious holiday, also known as 'Bubastis'.

I want to go there when I die.

Unless I am already dead and the hole is Bubastis.

Hmmmmm.

Does that make Jason the god of Bubastis?

Or the manager?

I think I was involved in Bubastis last Friday night.

At Bubastis, we worship the cult of 'mouth alcohol' also known as 'the reason I blew 0.089 on the DIY breathalyser'.

Miss Contradiction said...

We should publish Jason's mobile number in case any of our (2) readers need to complain to the managment.

I think he is just a manager generically. You know, of everything.

Town Bike said...

The irony being that Jason couldn't manage his way out of a paper bag.

The only thing Jason can 'manage' to do successfully is get drunk/stoned/off his face.

I vote YES to publishing his number!!!

Miss Contradiction said...

Perhaps we should out this to all our readers, you know, anonymous & Andrew.

Or do a voting whosiwhatsimagiga.

The Bubastis boat journey sounds suspicisously like the 144 bus ride from Mosman - stopping off at the Mosman Hotel, megahole, the Oaks, the Crowie, Cabana Bar (and St Leonards Tavern if you're packing), the Great Northern and finally the Chelsea and/or Orchard Tavern - to laugh and jeer at the local women...

I think i had his phone number Ms Bike when we were bored and wanted to hear JASON on his voicemail lol

Town Bike said...

I do a really good impersonation of him grunting 'JASON' on his voice mail.

JASON

By the way, has anyone actually gone in to stalk Jason yet??

Miss Contradiction said...

I don't think Jason has a card.

Perhaps we could arrange a field trip to the Good Guys and we could observe Jason in his natural habitat.

Like a Jason safari.

Town Bike said...

Good idea.

We could hire a bus and take some school kids out there.

It will be a good life lesson, like the time my dad drove me through Kings Cross as a child and pointed out all the derros and prostitutes to indicate why I should stay in school and stay away from drugs.

Fifteen years later, and at least I can say I stayed in school.

Town Bike said...

Yes, Jason is one of the only people I know who actually manages to PUT ON WEIGHT when smoking ice heavily.

Nothing comes between Jason and his pies.

Jason is only amusing from a distance.

In person he's just a dumb loser with serious addiction / personality issues.
