Budda Blag Entry 1

This entry is by Lara Carey from Ireland

I come from a family of mixed religions. My nana is an extreme catholic. My dad
is atheist and my mum sort of believes in it all. So I had lots of questions
about religions when I was younger. I would ask why Jesus had holes in his
hands in all the pictures in my nana’s house. By the time I was five, I had
come up with a question that nobody had a proper answer to, a question that
puzzled me for years.
I was exploring in my mum’s bedroom one day when I noticed a statue of a very
fat, half-naked man.
“Who’s that?” I asked.
“That’s the Buddha,” my mum said.
My next question was; “Where does he sit?”
I figured that a man with such a huge belly wouldn’t be able to fit into any of
our armchairs or around our kitchen table. My Mum peered down at me, and
finally replied. “He likes to sit on the ground.”
For some reason I didn’t believe her. I thought that any person important
enough to be a statue and be on my Mum’s altar must have some sort of a throne.
It took me seven years to find my answer, but, last weekend, I found a seat fit
for the Gods in a small cottage in County Clare.
It was there that I somersaulted off the stairs into a gorgeous blue Budda Bag
that was so much cooler than a sofa, and even more comfortable than my bed.
I now reckon that the Buddha, who was the son of a king, must have had the
pleasure of owning a very large, very comfortable, Budda Bag, where he hung out
feeling enlightened. For as I lay there, tired out after all my flips,
pondering how unbelieveable my friend’s budda bag was, I realised that I could
also experience bliss every day, if I had a Budda bag of my own. So my next
question is, please, please, please, please, someone, can I have a budda bag? I
live in hope! :0)

Budda Bags look so great,
I think this blagging is my fate!

I want to see how one feels,
as supportive chairs are not fair deal!

Im 4 years old and a special girl,
My mummy says I am her world!

Im diagnosed with CMV,
A shock for her as well as me!

I love my mummy for all she does,
I hope that she knows my love!

She’s so perfect and i want her to know,
a budda bag would tell her so!

She could cuddle me tight on the coolest bag,
as I lay comfy and not on a rag!

So hopefully you’ll all agree,
A win for both her and me,
would make us comfy cuddled tight,
a hug as snug as a budda bug.

I am one of those very unfortuante women. My arse is massive. No matter what
sofa, chair or cushion I sit on I cannot get comfortable. Then one day I sat on
a Buddha bag at my friends house and my cellulite ridden bottom felt
delightful.
I am now trying to save up so I can have a comfortable bottom like everyone
else. Unfortunately my 50p a week saving schedule isn’t going to well – it
would take me nearly 12 years to save up for my ideal Buddha bag.

Please support the woman with the big bottom and make my bottoms dreams come
true. Vote for me!

When the day is long and tough
When my body has had enough
Nothin puts a smile on my face
like jumping high up into space
When i land on a budda bag cloud
It makes me smile and laugh out loud

There is a insurmountable problem in this world. Deforestation.

I am no eco-warrior, nor an eco-worrier, though I can foresee one potentiality
in proposterous predicament of the lose of trees: Hammocks will become
obsolete.

The comfort of a hammock will, in future years, undoubtedly be a historical
myth – no trees means no hammocks.

Comfort will have to present itself in another manner.

Oh wait! What’s this? A large, round delectably soft object which needs not the
strctural integrity of a tree… Why, it must be a Budda Bag!

Let me launch my arse upon thee good entity of the future of comfort. I will
not miss the trees nor the hammocks if I can relax and unwind on top of your
humble matter good Budda bag.

Now let me reach for my oxygen tank

This month,
I must be blunt,
a budda bag,
is my ultimate swag.

Overwhelmingly Opulent,
Splendidly Sumptuous,
a budda bag,
I must blag.

Surfing the net,
my mind became set,
a budda bag,
is the ultimate bag.

Mini, Midi or Maxi,
Didi, Mega or Baby,
a budda bag,
is my ultimate swag.

My needs are such,
I simply must,
a budda bag,
successfully blag.

B-rilliantly U-seful,
D-umbfoundingly D-azzling,
A-mazingly B-eautiful &
A-stonishingly G-regarious,
this awesome bag,
is the object of my blag,
for which I will raise my flag.

Because I’ve never felt comfort like it
Uber trendy, stylish and sheek
Daytime lounging, relaxation at its best
Duvet, film and evening snuggling
All I want is a Budda bag in my life…

Budda Blag Entry 8

This entry is by Sarah Nicholson  from Ireland

Twas a rainy day in Dublin,
When I walked into the shop.
My curiosity was bubbling,
But I was as wet as a mop.
But the staff were oh so gracious,
As I began to look around,
And there in a shop so spacious,
There were- upon the ground,
An array of coloured budda bags,
Large, medium and small.
I shuffled to the nearest one,
And almost at a crawl
Collapsed upon pure comfort.
And then I could all but cry,
For this was the best seat in the world,
But my bank account is dry.
And so I dream about budda bags,
Sitting in a gloomy chair,
And hope that my chances won’t just sag,
And instead you’ll help me snare,
This most amazing prize I’d ever
Have the chance to win,
And so I’ll leave you to consider my poem,
And hope to Budda bag I’m in!

Now, it’s no surprise that a Budda Bag is usually used to sit on, and very
comfy it is too. It does come in a variety of colours and fabrics and is
wonderfully versatile. I’m sure there are plenty of ways to use one, and here
are just a few:
1. Wear a Budda Bag over your head as an oversize, brightly coloured headpiece
- be the talk of the town and turn heads whereever you go. And never run out
of somewhere to sit, too.
2. Use one as a comfortable and supportive meditation pad and sit for hours on
end as your soul floats into space…
3. A giant softball – play soccer with your mates, indoors! BE careful, and
don’t get too big headed!
4. A gaming chair – sit for hours on end, no need to move!
5. A giant stress dummy – squeeze away and relieve all those worries.
6. Use it as a giant plush toy and take it to bed with you, cosy time!
7. How about a punchbag to workout to? But be careful, it’s made of foam which
‘remembers’!
8. It’s great for adults too…

Remember folks, buy one to use for yourelf and another to block the doorway.
Happy days!

Budda Blag Entry 10

I remember the first time I sat down on a buddabag, I immediately felt right at
home its was like heaven on earth to me. My mum and my sister wandered around
the shop looking at various materials and oobi doobis. By the time we had to go
I still hadn’t budged from my resting place upon the cozy and delightful cow
fauz fur memory foam bag. I pleaded my mum to buy the wanderous budda bag she
wandered up to the counter and asked the shop assistant how much was the 5ft
cow faux budda bag he replied in a friendly voice ‘€400′. My mum sighed and
said ‘sorry not today honey maybe some other time’. I also sighed but just then
the shop assistant told us that we could blag he then explained the concept as
soon as we went home we blaged unfortunately we didn’t win but I hope we will
this time!
