Know Your Exotic World Cultures

In the tallest, remotest, mountainest regions of Peru, cut off from civilization and at least three miles from the nearest Starbucks, live the Atchimatchiwawa, also known as the Sock Monkey Tribe. Few outsiders have witnessed their sacred ritual of Wawizawi, in which breathing the fumes of fermented banana oil creates a state of interdimentional unconsciousness.

I really want to go there, Elizabeth G.

    I would like to apply the sacred nose boop within this ritual.

    I would like to perform the equally sacred “gently-push-tongue-back-in-mouth” ritual.

        No problem. Boops aren’t rationed.

    Been there. Done it all!

    Reading Mike’s travel description, I anticipated a gang of Chiwawas wearing matching sock monkey coats. Maybe kitty is channeling said wawas.

    Fermented banana oil? Is that how it’s done? Does it apply to Duckies, too?

    “state of interdimentional unconsciousness” = me on Monday mornings.

    “state of interdimentional unconsciousness” perfectly describe my Boo.

      Exactly!

      • fkaWaldenPond March 5, 2018 / 8:43 pm

        Gahh! I was too busy booping upstairs to notice sacred guru Boo, may I come down here and get in line?

          *boops nose and initiates Tongue Withdrawal Sequence*

    Definitely in a ‘zen’ state!! Must try breathing fumes of fermented banana oil when frustrated and see if it works for hoomans!!

    “Taco Tongue” sent me down an internet rabbit hole that eventually led me to the video below. I consider it a day well spent.
