Master Splinter IRL

Being of Irish decent i have always been told by my relatives to never kiss the Blarney Stone due to the fact the town drunks know tourists often kiss it so the urinate on it to get a good laugh at the not so smart visitors.

I've heard that also. My mother was warned not to even try when she was there. It's good to have local relatives!

Huh, the things people believe will bring them luck. Go figure!

Ugh, just imagine the germs on that thing! Herpes alert!

It's the urine that makes it lucky. Duh!

Just wondering, how do the town drunks piss on it? If you have to pay to get in and the Blarney Castle has opening and closing hours I'm guessing it's not the easiest of places to just walk in drunk at night. Or do the daytime employees turn a blind eye to the daytime drunks?

And to add onto the story off the bull in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, the reason for spinning on the bull's balls is because it's the crest of Torino, Milano's neighbors and rivals.

i kissed it! yeah other tourist piss!

Victor Noir polished knob

piss confirmed.

Yum.

And you kiss your sweetie with those lips!? O_o

i went, kissed it, they wipe it off, no biggy...its suppose to bring one of two kinds of luck to those who kiss it...i only remember one of them that the tour guide said... "the gift of gab." maybe the other one was good health....? anyone else remember?...
