St. Patrick's Day Pis!!

St. Patrick's Day Pis.

As promised here is an image of the Manneken Pis as he was dressed yesterday. For St. Patrick's day the people of Brussels deigned to dress him in the uniform of the Brotherhood of the 5th Infantry Brigade of Merkem 'Chasseurs d'Irlande'. How dashing he looks!!

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?
