People do crazy things at this time of year.
We’re not entirely sure if it’s always been the case but certainly this year, it seems that anyone going on a 12 pubs pub crawl can’t simply throw on a Christmas jumper and enjoy a few pints.
People are prepared to go to extreme lengths to attract attention and following on from the fellas in Dublin that dressed up as the Coca Cola truck, a group in Limerick took it to new levels last night.
JOE reader Steve Van Odnett got in touch today to give us the lowdown on a 12 pubs pub crawl he went on with nine of his mates in Limerick last night, during which a forfeit was decided upon for the member of the crew wearing the least Christmassy object.
The forfeit? Carrying a dressed-up turnip called Neddy around for the night and getting strangers to kiss him. You heard us.
Incredibly, judging by the Snapchat pictures above, the guys found plenty of strangers willing to participate in the most bizarre 12 pubs ritual we’ve heard of yet.
It’s that time of year, we suppose. It will be a real turnip for the books if they can pull it off next Christmas.
Don’t worry, we’ve already got our coats.
Cheers to Steve van Odnett for sending this our way. If you have something you would like to share with us, send it to [email protected] or hit us up on Facebook or Twitter.
