So, a couple weeks ago, whilst dining on the buffet at Vivarazzi in wonderful down-town Jeffersontown, my comptriates and I were discussing absurd arcade games, and how great they are.

Mr. Rasnake, who normally goes by Matt, mentioned a game involving a large plastic finger, and a posterior mounted to an arcade cabinet. “Oh, it was on some page on the interweb,” he mentioned. Shocked at the fact that there were actually pictures of bottoms on the intarweb, I had to find out. Well, after searching for “japanese arcade finger butt” on google, I found a article on “Boong Ga Boong Ga” over at Wired (btw, this article has been dismissed by Japanologist-in-residence gary as being “bullshit”, in that he’s never seen the game, and it is by no means “sweeping Japan”, also it’s South Korean in origin).

In any case, my travails about the rolling countryside that is the intarweb led me to Syberpunk, a site dedicated to “the quirkiness of Japan”, in which I found their tribute to Boong Ga Boong Ga.

So yeah, their cell-phones are better, their games are wackier, and their women will wear t-shirts like this (see thumb to the right).

Why can’t we get Japanese t-shirts that say stuff like “my mother shucks oysters in continuous enjoyment” in Japanese?
