The Sacred Handshake of Okonkuluku is one of WAITIKI’s mysteriously well-kept secrets … That is, well-kept from all but our own Villagers of Okonkuluku. Read on, only if you have already committed the ritual virgin watermelon sacrifice. The tiki gods have warned you!

Special thanks to “The Mayor of Exotica” (Tim Mayer) for the Handshake of Okonkuluku!

See Gallery at bottom of page for illustrated instructions!

Slide 1: The Approach

Spread fingers far apart. As if ready to grasp heavy watermelon (prior to sacrifice)
with one hand.

Slide 2: Making Contact

Interlock your fingers with those of other party. Hope you spit in your hand
first - that’s an Okonkulukian sign of respect for your new friend.

Slide 3: The Grip

Take a firm hold on your new friend, squeeze hard as you might, and remember: He who squeezes hardest squeezes last. Grit your teeth and bear them: if everyone could do the handshake of Okonkuluku, our Villagers wouldn’t be as special to us as they are; Ass why hard fo’ do!

Slide 4: Happy Villagers

Ah… And there you have it, the Handshake of Okonkuluku! Now go forth and prosper (and keep drinkin’ those sidecars and mai-tais). As the Villagers say in Okonkuluku: AXOLOTL!

Whatever You Do, Don’t Do This:

In Slide 5, you can see the facial reaction from a foreigner as he meets a native Okonkulukian.
