Birthday Party Ritual
This ritual is ceremonially performed at the Sasona Birthday Party in early July (or whenever the hell we get around to it). It was written by Matthew Bey ca. 2006. It's performed by the newest member and the senior-most member, with some audience participation from everyone. At the end of the ceremony is the disemboweling of the Bread Man effigy of David Buttross.
The ritual describes that the Bread Man has nickels for eyes to symbolize our nemesis Nickel City Co-op, a cracker as a mouth for Wade Dawg, and it also historically had a jelly heart to dip the bread in. In 2007, the Bread Man was about two and a half feet long. In 2008, Wade Dawg tried to drunkenly fornicate with the Bread Man. In 2010, the Bread Man had a 2 foot tall cylindrical dong.
