Kissing the Blarney Stone

[briantravelman]

I wouldn't want to kiss that stone after all those other ppl kissed it. You don't know what kind of deseases and germs ppl got.

[TheDennismax]

Your are kissing a urinal.

They drink up there at night and piss on the stone.

[ballygeale1]

the man has a bucket beside him and u put ur 5 euro in and kiss that rock ,,,trust a cork man 4 a gimick

[svkinnan]

You have to lean backwards because the stone is well below the floor level. If you went in on your stomach, you could perhaps touch it with your forehead but you couldn't bend your neck back enough to kiss it.

[harrisontan]

i dont get it, why do you have to lean backwards over this thing to kiss it?

[JustSomePerson888]

magic mushrooms, that's what gets your linguisitc faculties supercharged. so if you want to be a great poet and have a way with words, then do some shroom sessions in the proper magical manner, and get blessed by the little-people.

as for pissing on the stone, not cool. not cool at all.

[dogbone222]

ah hahahaha, this is how aids had spread.

[yourmother438]

O_o???????????? what the fuuuuuccccccckkkkkking fuck?

[jjr1123]

Eww...



[damienhugh]

The passtime of local youngsters at night is going up and pissing on the blarney stone

[raverbaby2001]

[pucaqueeninlove]

[MrMarshman90]

[MatthewGen1]

@MrMarshman90 just you..

[SomeUrbanNinja]

wow, i can make a ton of money from tourists.... If i pick any stone in ireland and claim it to be a Blarney stone and charge per kiss.. Only locals would be the wiser.

[maxpowers518]

Locals pee on it, you know.

[jacknicklaus99]

goin in april man my ancestors built the castle gunna be sickkk

[lildevil470]

..... I seriously Do not even think a bunch of drunk people could climb all those goddamn stairs and walk across those skinny walk ways without killing themselves .... and wouldn't they wash it off..... and seriously caretakers would of been fired for pissing on it .... If you people are to afraid to kiss it cause it's rumored to be pissed on.... THEN DON'T KISS IT! problem solved :)

[thugmstr]

service with a smile?

[animagigirl]

its so sad that people in my country are so dumdb

[JeT1594]

Hahaha My history teacher told us he got really drunk in ireland one night & he and his buddies pissed on it, then watched people kiss it the next day! XDD!

[Ballyhook]

Dont worry. Nobody would dare piss on the blarney stone. No irishman would take a chance like that with his penis.

[strucklucky33]

Un-fucking-sanitary. Americans are gullible.

[herofromthedark]

Is the blarney stone and the lia fail the same thing??

[DBEENE123]

if you kiss the blarney stone, you will be endowed with the gift of gab. not luck. Don't be fooled by these posers. Gab is like having eloquence or the ability to be very pleasant and nice, or flattering.

[toxicheeseball]

ive kissed it and im eleven!!!

[amos5129]

y DO ThEy kiss IT 

[Jetfire7631]

I have kissed it just yesterday, my trip to Ireland was cool

[MsLuvligirl]

hi Blarney castle is down the road from my house and im friends with the people who work there

[maplebanks]

any wish u make will b granted after kissing the stone, but u have to drink a half glass of your own piss mixed with irish whisky 3 hours after kissing the stone

[Kieran84ire]

This tourist experience is kind of weird. Do people really come to Ireland to do this stuff? : o

[ElenaBlackRose]

@Kieran84ire It's tradition. A sense of culture that is very rememberable and remarkable in it's own way. It brings a piece of the past back to life.

[mattblack77nz]

Man, that guy hates his job....

[crazyandfun15]

I kissed this too !

Recently actually. :)

[mustangcarpenter]

I would like that privy!!!

[berner]

NEVER kiss the Blarney Stone, ever, or the joke will be on you.

The caretakers at the site of the Blarney Stone pee on it at night before the tourists show up and then watch people kiss it. They've been doing it for years just for a cheap laugh.

[j54gonzalez]

Its my understanding that most people who do this kiss the wall and not the actual stone, which is farther down than most dangle. I was told this by someone who visited the castle, does anyone know if their is any truth to that?

[0741309876]

what is that?

can someone explain to me ?

[baddacoodoo]

haha hes kissing the bit that i pissed on about 3 years ago..lol

[Shanethefilmmaker]

dude you don't piss on the blarney stone that is just wrong

[twilightlover181295]

I live in Blarney preactically across from the Blarney Castle and you don't actually have to kiss it you can just air kiss it so you don't get all germy.

[mocat1]

I was 12, I went with my family while on a trip to the U.K. I had kissed it, and as I tried to get up, the guy tilted me back more. I was small enough, (as was my sister) that we could've fallen through the space between the last bar and the stone.

My fear of heights started with that instance.

[cattlewrangler]

Blarney is in Ireland not the UK.

[1984niallmclaughlin]

@cattlewrangler YOU ARE RIGHT, IRELAND NOT UK....

[conoconnor]

You fail.

[666xXxSLAYERxXx666]

Indeed it is in Republic of Ireland not the UK it is its own independent country

[rotorman13b]

I would have that stone steamed before I kiss that dirty ol thing..You don't know where them ladies mouth's been ya know..

[ThePhoenixx]

Mmmm souvenir herpes! Yaay!

[kseda86]

ahí hay un montón de gérmenes.

[maplebanks]

bet you didn't know the blarney stone was a medevil toilet for the soldiers on duty at the top of the castle and you yanks pay to kiss it. XXXXXXXXX

[imdrmmr1]

@maplebanks i really hope u don't think only americans visit blarney castle...

[ofleck]

The blarney stone was recently voted the dirtiest tourist attraction in the world! Imagine all the germs on that thing from all those lips kissing it!

[scubacahill]

ya just listenin to RedFm and Vic just said it! hu cares?

[BeauEvil]

Oh, please! I sometimes long for the time before microbes were discovered. These days, TV adverts make all germs the enemy to be sterilized. Now, there is an epidemic of childhood allergies because their world is TOO sterile. They never get to encounter germs, HIGHLY unnatural.

[ofleck]

That doesn't change the fact that it is rife with the germs of thousands of lips......... Imagine all the cancer sores that have been pressed on that rock only to be passed on to some unsuspecting dumbass who thinks it's cool and lucky to smooch stone!!!!

[666xXxSLAYERxXx666]

oh stfu

[HolyPieceOfPie]

I kissed it when I went to Ireland, the castle was neat too. And how long was it going on? Probably since Medieval times. A little after 1446.

[pokeopolis]

How long has this kissing been going on. People don't seem too worried about germs.

[lughlamh]

generations of blarney school kids piss on it...

[Idolmakercat]

What about all the germs? I would have to wipe it off with some wipes before I would do that and them I still might pass.

[TitaniumToothpaste]

i pissed on the blarney stone

[LaurenAndHali]

like.. wth.. y would sum1 kiss that after so many ppl have... thats wrong

[mattmagdotcom]

you know the locals piss on it... right?

[wundrwall]

my mouth isn't going anywhere near that stone

[jackjiezhang]

why does it have to be so awkward??

[Idolmakercat]

You have to kiss the stone backwards for the legend to come true. To be cleaver.

[Girlgerm]

cleaver? you should french it :P

jk jk

[Niall0c96]

you cant fall 2 ur death u reatard there are bars under you in case you do fall!i live bout a mile away 4m blarney

[xX1RY1Xx]

kinda hard to do seeing as people have fallen to their death doing it.

[wildheart19]

it doesn't look so bad...if you don't think about the 40 foot drop to the ground.

[SeipherusD]

ew...you can see the piss stains....

[xX1RY1Xx]

lawl

[Bohdson]

Haha wanker? Were not British lad.

[Megwarulez]

i know people that regualy go there and piss on the stone

oh well, maybe the good luck of the stone will prevent you from getting a fatel illness

[jayska]

funny stuff people kissin a stone that gets pissed on regularly.

[Simpsonfreak1]

lol it game my sister the gift of the gab! I would not do that as your leaning back and all thats there is 2 rusty bars. It made me feel sick looking down. my dad has done it twice now. lol the last time (1 year ago) there was lipstick on it! im half irish and its the best country in the world

[JazzmasterInsane]

its amazing how many people believe in cults.

[Girlgerm]

cults???? this isnt a cult thing.

[Ferozius]

Commercialism. Prolly true that the irish piss on it, fucking good laugh at the tourists!

[Adventurestud]

Somehow I don't think the originators of this custom had someone holding them whilst kissing the stone. I imagine it's much more difficult to do so by ones self. Probably even harder after a couple o shots o Jamesons! Tourists!

[svkinnan]

OK, well, I kissed it over a year and a half ago and I'm still alive and haven't come down with any pee diseases, so I guess it's safe. Although I'm told that Guinness cleans the system of any impurities. ;-)

[OLIVIAANDELLIOT4EVER]

i love it!

[doogerdog]

That was their toilet the Irish would think you were a stupid wanker

[popinfresh]

why are they kissing it?

[xxSanadaxx]

It's supposed to be good luck for the year, I believe.

[cvbcbcmv]

no it's supposed to give u the gift of the gab

[mazew5]

the irish pee on that i hope you know

[chiefhomocide]

and thus you are given the gift of the gad you talk as much as you pee. hehe ^_^

[phlashphil]

If You look at the post cards they sell in the store in the castle. Its the same guy helping to kiss the stone In the post cards they have from back in the seventies!!! He was a bitter man the day I went n1999 U would B 2 I bet..

[danbit5]

do they still have a camera man there takng a photo?

i still have a blarney stone i bought. nice reminder of nice day out.

[salthillairshow]

He is one ignorant bollocks. I was there in 2008 and he was moaning about people not moving fast enough. Maybe Mr dryballs is fed up with his job or else he is being paid commission per person. If you are reading this you old fart remember who keeps you in your job. There are plenty people around that will gladly take your job off you and you wouldn't have to go far to get someone with manners.

[stephenpower1]

He retired before you posted this!

[MINIMUMJOHN]

THAT AIN'T EASY........

[bebelooney]

hi everyone im aoife i live in blarney !! i've kissed it loads of times aoife xXx

[ljhfjfdhgfd]

[Ryan198416]

I just came back from a tour of Ireland! I blew it a kiss, lol, i heard the locals go up there at night and pee on it.scary climb to the top! very steep and narrow.

[LEGEEBA]

the guys who work there dont slash on it , but the local teenagers who break in at night to go bush drinking do claim they have.guys i went to school with from blarney swore to it but im sure its got a bit of a scrub since then!

[kgphkjhjt]

[pwnzor3000]

[Chavall1]

[paleale84]
