But I don't have the so called "gift of gab."
When I talk, I sometimes stutter, eat my words, forget what I want to say, run out of things to say etc.
Maybe I should kiss the Blarney Stone. The Blarney what?
When I was a kid, I read about the Blarney Stone in off all things, a Dennis the Menace comic book.
That's how I learned that when you kiss the Blarney Stone while upside down, you will receive the "Gift of Gab."
Here's what Wikipedia says:
The Blarney Stone (Irish: Cloch na Blarnan) is a block of bluestone built into the battlements of Blarney Castle, Blarney about 5 miles (8 km) from Cork, Ireland. According to legend, kissing the stone endows the kisser with the gift of gab (great eloquence or skill at flattery). The stone was set into a tower of the castle in 1446. The castle is a popular tourist site in Ireland, attracting visitors from all over the world to kiss the Stone and tour the castle and its gardens.
But you have to kiss the thing while upside down. Don't know why.
Anyway, If Gab had the gift of gab, maybe this blog wouldn't exist.
[I'd probably doing worthwhile things like picking up women left and right, doing stand up comedy, hustling people and stealing their hard-earned money, etc]
