Dancing leprechauns on Grafton St

mambo · 2006-03-04 17:04:07

Once again today I passed the guy selling the little dancing leprechauns on Grafton St. I've never paused long enough to work how they bounce up and down like that and never fall over. Anyone know how? Or is it just... magic? :confused:

I'm guessing it's a magnet between the stereo and that case on the other side? They piss me off.

They're held together by a clear string, one end attatched to the stereo and one to the man's finger I think. The stereo can make them jump if it's loud enough too.

They've now got a sign on Grafton Street saying ''Leprechauns Crossing'' opposite HMV, which is a loadda ****, just a way to get the stupid Americans to go into the shop and try to find them...

And the guy who sells those dancing Leprechauns is an asshole. I went to have a closer look at them one day to see how they work and he basically pinned me in the chest and pushed me back....Hehe.

the clear string is connected to each boom on the speakers, pulled tight, the vibrations make them dance, why is everyone in this country so sarcastic?
