Searching for A House

We’ve been looking for a larger house for a while now so while I was walking to the park with my daughter today I was really excited to see a beautiful old house for sale. It’s only a couple blocks from our place now, well made (over 100 years old) GORGEOUS!! So, when we are [...]

A Penis Festival?!!! YEE HAW!!!!

Posted on02 Apr 2010

I never realized how freakin funny a penis could be.  From penis festivals to penis weapons to penis oragami it is hard to keep a straight face when you’re searching the internet for anything related to everyones friend good ole Dick.

Lets start with the a wonderful little springtime festival that takes place in Japan, called the Festival of the Steel Phallus -

The Kanamara Matsuri (Festival of the Steel Phallus かなまら祭り?) is an annual Shinto fertility festival held in Kawasaki, Japan in spring. The exact dates vary: the main festivities fall on the first Sunday in April. The penis forms the central theme of the event that is reflected everywhere—in illustrations, candy, carved vegetables, decorations, and a mikoshi parade.

The Kanamara Matsuri is centered around a local penis-venerating shrine once popular among prostitutes who wished to pray for protection against sexually transmitted diseases. It is said that there are divine protections also in business prosperity and the clan’s prosperity, easy delivery, marriage, and married couple harmony. There is also a legend of a sharp-toothed demon that hid inside the vagina of a young girl and castrated two young men on their wedding nights (vagina dentata). As a result, the young girl sought help with a blacksmith, who fashioned an iron phallus to break the demon’s teeth, leading to the enshrinement of the item.Read More

of course we can’t leave out,

The Annual Phallus Festival in Greece

Each year on the first Monday of Lent, the people of the tiny Greek town of Tyrnavos go crazy about penises, singing lewd songs and urging passersby to kiss their model phallusses. The pagan fertility festival is one of the most famous parties in Greece.

The one-day pagan fertility festival in this town of 15,000 people near the central Greek city of Larissa marks the beginning of Lent, the fasting period before Easter, and is one of the most famous carnivals in Greece.

The festival is in honor of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, madness and ecstasy. Read More

Now on to Scotland where a man was charged with assault when he tried to beat an officer with his “weapon” -

“The accused got to his feet and was standing over the police officer exposing his penis and thrusting it in her face, forcing her to take evasive action to avoid getting struck.”Read Story Here

And last but definitely not least – HILARIOUS!!

Puppetry of the Penis was born when Simon Morley teamed up with fellow puppeteer David “Friendy” Friend. Their first show at the 1998 Melbourne International Comedy Festival was received as the “Outright Best Show”.

The name Puppetry of the Penis was originally conceived by Simon, as the title of a highbrow art calendar. Released in 1997, the calendar showcased twelve of Simon’s favourite penis installations (known as “Dick Tricks”). Years before, Simon’s youngest brother, Justin, had shown him his first installation – ‘The Hamburger’. Natural sibling rivalry resulted in the evolution of a grand repertoire of genital gesticulations. After working for many years as a comedy promoter working some of Australia’s  funniest people, Simon finally felt he had something  just as funny lingering in his pants.

Puppetry of the Penis: The Ancient Art of Genital Origami

National Penis Day in New Zealand,

According to “Urban Dictionary” . . .

In New Zealand, September 4th is national penis day. Heaps of guys in each of the main cities go to a public place (like The Square in Christchurch), get naked and stand in a formation so as to form a giant penis. Lots of chicks and dirty old men go.

    Silvergirl – I know – I’ve got to plan a trip

    D – Actually I read somewhere that there is also a vagina festival but for some reason I don’t think it is as big as the other

    MadMadMargo – Ebay? or you could just tie some string on a Kalbasa, but then all the stray dogs would be following you around.

    Not only is it uncircumcised, but it also comes without the bunnies. God knows eggs are a primordial part of Easter. ;-) Happy Easter!

    CatLadyLarew – I’m here to teach

    Linda Medrano – Don’t worry the vagina festival is a couple towns over

    Wilmaryad – Holy penis (he-he) – you know what would go well with that nose? A pair of those googly glasses, with penises of course.
