Getting started on Saint Patrick's Day with a closer look at the Blarney Castle in Cork, Ireland. I've always wanted to visit.

#OTD in 2009 – Blarney Stone voted ‘most unhygienic tourist attraction in the world’.

Ever since Cormac McCarthy, the builder of Blarney Castle, was granted the eloquence to win a lawsuit by the goddess Clíodhna*, the Blarney Stone has conferred the gift of gab on all who kiss. Mind you, this isn’t easy to do. You have to climb to the top of the castle then dangle backwards over the edge of the parapet to reach it. Still it draws approximately 400,000 people a year. A wall outside…

One cool thing about The Whitney Peak Hotel is that they have a remnant of the original hotel and casino that stood here, and that is this Blarney Stone. This isn’t the Blarney Stone in County Cork, Ireland, but instead another stone from the castle that was authorized to be brought out of the country and placed in Reno when this hotel was the Fitzgeralds Reno. (There’s another stone in the former Fitzgeralds Las Vegas on Fremont Street if you wanna go, though I don’t know how easy it is to access compared to this one.) 

You can find this stone at the corner of Commerce Row and Virginia Streets, right next to the famed Reno Arch, and apparently a rub will help impart a day of improved luck.

Additionally, you can check out the amazing Fitzgeralds Las Vegas signs at The Neon Museum in downtown Las Vegas, which I highly recommend as part of the evening tour through the boneyard.

Radiating Irish charm and a touch of audacious wit, the tee shirt 'Kiss My Blarney Stone' sets the stage for a spirited Saint Patrick's Day celebration. Envision a delightful 4-leaf clover or shamrock as the backdrop, symbolizing luck and good fortune.

It just occurred to me that COVID must have had an impact on people kissing the Blarney stone. Were virtual kisses implemented? Did they sanitize the rock after every kiss? I must know.

Legendary’s ‘The Book of Clarence’ Moved Off UK Release Schedule

Zac Ntim, January 18, 2024 3:16AM PST

"EXCLUSIVE: The Book of Clarence, the Legendary and Jay Z-produced adventure-comedy, won’t be released in UK cinemas this week as planned.

The biblical epic has quietly dropped off the UK release schedule at the eleventh hour after initially being lined up for a January 19 release by Sony. UK exhibitors were set for a January 19 launch — the film has been listed on multiple cinema sites as opening this week — and marketing materials were deployed with a January 19 listing.

We understand a March release is now more likely. Sony is handling UK distribution, but we understand the decision to push back the release came from Legendary, which produced and financed the film.

News of the calendar switch comes after the pic recently opened stateside, taking just $3M over the 4-day MLK Jr. holiday weekend, giving the film a ninth-place debut on the charts. We hear that a later UK date was always a possibility but it’s unusual for a studio film to reroute at such short notice.

Starring LaKeith Stanfield, David Oyelowo, and Benedict Cumberbatch, The Book of Clarence..."

...IS DEAD. GOOD.

Was it too soon to call Norm his best friend? Was there a five year quota a friendship had to meet first? He’d never made it that far with a guy.

He knew that Norm tuned out his rants about socialism, he knew that Norm made fun of his long white socks and his mustache trimming regimen.

He also knew that since June, Norm had gradually stopped touching anyone else in the bar.

(Except for Sammy, of course, but touching Sammy was like touching the Blarney Stone. Everybody did it at some point.)

It started with another boxing match, one that was actually on regular cable this time. One of the guys (Cliff would be hard pressed to remember the poor sap’s name) made an excellent crack about a soup commercial. Norm laughed but didn’t clap him on the back or slap him high. It was a “blink and you miss it” moment, but he thought that the man almost, for a brief second, looked.. let down.

Cliff understood. If he had these touches taken away, he would do something drastic. Enter witness protection and live in Alaska, probably.

The Stone Witch of Blarney.

She who first revealed the secret of the Blarney stone, now is petrified in the Rock Close, but awakens every night. As you can see, people leave offerings on the Witch’s Stone. Nearby is also the Witch’s Yew, which grows on top of the Witch’s Kitchen.
