A homage to Manneken Pis

It being St. Patrick's Day in Ireland, I went a-looking for photos of the diminutive Manneken Pis dressed in his tweed finery (see Sam's post here). Sadly, none has been posted yet, so I decided I would share some of the costumes the little Pis has worn throughout the years...

Here he is apparently peeing beer, dressed as St. Cristopher.

I can only assume this is Elvis Pis.

Too funny. Apparently he has his own song, a female counterpart named Jeannenken Pis and a canine friend called Zinneken who can be found peeing against a bollard somewhere in the city. Zinneken even has a parade held in his honour every couple of years. For a truly comprehensive guide to the outfits the good city of Brussels has chosen to decorate Manneken Pis with see here.

Anyone got a photo of the Pis in his tweeds?
