Tourists in ireland almost always go to: Dublin, Galway, Kilkenny, Dingle, Killarney and Cork. We have not seen a tourist in the south of Longford in 15 years
An Irishman I knew years ago said he was once one of the caretakers and that they'd watered the horses on the Stone on more than one occasion just so they could have a chuckle every time "a tourist kissed it."
How to kill a tourist attraction: step 1: hold rhetoric debates between the people going to and coming from the blarny stone. step 2: Record the winners of these debates on a big sign on the road towards the stone. step 3: profit?
It's a history of gullibility. It was an old toilet seat, you'd stick your arse out over it and shit away. It was given its magic prowess by the last suggestion queen Elizabeth the first and McCarthy.
honestly I'm not superstitious, but if I was I'd make sure I risked my life when kissing the stone. I feel like if I'm completely safe there's no way I'm going to be bestowed with any kind of enhanced ability. You have to give to get, no risk no reward. It's a good analogy of society today. Everyone wants things to just be given to them without having to give or take any risk. I get the owners just don't want to be sued, but nevertheless my point stands.

15 Years? no wonder the government does not give two fucks for the midlands
Wexford has never been officially realized as "real life", so at least you got that going for you.
I wanna visit Ireland one of these days and check it all out
Maybe people are afraid of Irish tinkers
Isn't Longford very diverse?
The blarney stone brings a tear to me eyes.
Get off my ass ya wee bitty fuck if I pull out the claymore yer shit outta luck
AYE AYE AYE
Because you're turned upside down.
@@pirig-gal The Blarney Stone is also a song by Ween, comments above are lyrics
IF I DONT GET

ILL TAKE OUT THE CLAYMORE AND HOWL AT THE MOON
AYE
AYE
AYE

Getting a horse up there would be a neat trick! I'd say that whoever told you that was himself pulling your leg.
@@qwertyTRiG He means pissing on the stone.
@@pirig-gal Even a human pissing on the stone, given its position, would be a bit tricky. They'd need to be an employee, for a start.
@@qwertyTRiG That's what OP is saying. The guy he knew was a caretaker in the castle.
That's just mean
indirect kiss with millions of people. now that's a new experience.
Anyone that's kissed your mom knows what it's like
Heyooooooooo!
So is this the other hidden internet historian channel? One of the other secret channels subbed to this
I believe it is herstorian
IF I PULL OUT THE CLAYMORE YER SHIT OUT OF LUCK
AYE AYE AYE!
A Claymore is Scottish! (There are two different Scottish swords (and one mine) called Claymore.)
@@qwertyTRiG Damn you Ween and your inaccuracies when it comes to a comedic sea shanty song on an album that inspired the creation of SpongeBob
I'm surprised how many non-irish people don't know about the stone, I figured it was one of those weird curios that was common knowledge about Ireland
Yo, I work in Blarney
127 steps, a once in a lifetime challange indeed.
Enlightening as always, and has the bonus of bringing out the Ween fans!
Aye, aye, aye
Sharpen yer boots, I'll bludgeon yer eye.
Aye, aye, aye
The blarney stone brings a tear to me eye.

Wait, does this has something to do with Internet Historian?
Probably not. He probably did this just for laughs. Honestly, I can't blame him

such is the power of science
Not to sound crass, but a video on the origin of condoms and contraceptions would be genuinely interesting! Great content
I want the Gift of Blarney.
Better than kissing Barney Rubble!
Trouble!
I bet that bloke has "kissing stone attendee" in his dating profile.
Such an underrated channel. Love all your content.
Nice
Don't people legitimately pee on that thing? Oof.
I love my rock
What a RIDE
There’s also a “Blarney Stone” in O’Neill, Nebraska; the Irish Capital of Nebraska!
I know this because I have kissed it myself.
i wonder if they know how much urine is on the stone?
Paralellopiped , what are they?
So that's where it came from 🤔
that was something
Thank you for telling me to make love to rocks.
You know if a tourist kissed the stone from their cold sores.
This has to be a prank
FRANCIS GROSE 🤭
why the fuck would anyone do this
Because you get the Gift of the Gab and it also means no matter where you are in Ireland Leprechauns won't Key your car
