Stinko de Mayo!!

Today is May 5th. While most people are celebrating Cinco de Mayo, a Mexican holiday of independance and victory, I like to celebrate "Stinko de Mayo". Stinko de Mayo is a holiday of the freedom to stink. There are many ways to do this such as not taking a shower on this day, belching after eating a heavily seasoned meal or my favorite: flatulating whenever the mood strikes.

In honor of this freeing holiday, I wanted to share some photos of folks celebrating in some traditional ways.

"You put your right foot in, you take your right foot out, you put your right foot in and you let a big one out!"

Dancers will swing and wiggle their skirts around to release the aroma of their flatulents during parades and street festivals. This dance is commonly done outside, but can be done inside if ventilation is adequate.

The "Old Fart Queen" is seen here judging for a contest.

Here couples have a "Gas-off" which combines dancing with flatulation. Experienced dancers are able to fart along with the vivacious rhythm of the music while keeping their movements fluid and graceful.
