Alkhalalalalai! - Send over the women with big breasts!

I was aware of the Kamchatka indigenous Itelmen people's fall festival of Alkhalalalai, a sort of thanksgiving festival, and I had been encourged to attend it, but I only just now found out what the name means.
"We want women with big breasts."
Apparently, the traditional response by the women, after the men shout "Alkhalalalai":
"We want men with nice moustaches."

(Nietzsche would have been very popular among the women on Kamchatka.)
