It's based on an old Alaskan Inuit folk tale: a young woman lost her boyfriend on a whale hunt. She was heartbroken, so she made his likeness from whale blubber and brought him to life by rubbing her ladybits all over him. Everything was fine until her went fishing in the summer and melted away. The woman buried as much of him as she could under a stone cairn, but missed him so much, she made another blubber man and rubbed him to life with her bits again. This one didn't go fishing in the hot sun and they lived together happily.
