I failed to get huge yesterday

But I did find one interesting OIJ tidbit via Japundit about the Butt Shaking Festival:

...held in January in Kokuraminami Ward in Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Prefecture. And I’m not joking about the festival’s name—there’s no other way to translate Shirifuri Matsuri.

...a Shinto priest and two other men emerge from the shrine, bend over, and shake their butts in imitation of the serpent. Because tradition states that the bigger the buttswings, the greater the harvest, the spectators cheer the men on to greater gluteal abandon by shouting, “Shake it harder, shake it harder!” That sort of encouragement has been known to occur in Western countries, too, but usually not directed to men, or to priests in a religious ceremony.
