Fat Buddha's Bong of the Month: Ghostface

Let's take a moment to review Fat Buddha's choice of Bong of the Month. First off, it's way better than last month's Hello Kitty bong, which made me feel uncomfortable just looking at it.

I'm not a big horror fan (I'll watch...), but this looks like it's full of whimsey.

The figure of Budai Heshang, whose story is based on a historical monk active at the end of the Tang period, gained popularity as early as the Song dynasty. He is often depicted surrounded by children. His name, Budai, meaning "cloth bag,' " derives from the sack that invariably accompanies him. He is frequently shown carrying this hemp bag containing all his possessions, along with a short cord of eighteen beads symbolising the Eighteen Luohan. Perhaps because of his cheerful appearance, he became one of the most sought-after figures on the export market in the eighteenth century. In English-speaking countries, he is also commonly known as the "Fat Buddha."
