Don't You **** on Me
Thanks to my friend Alexis I've got a bit of info on this little statue !!!!

There is a lot to do about the history of this littlestatue.There are several legends about this. For this look under the de site of the educationpoint .

Officially Hiëronymus Duquesnoy the old made the original of this statue in 1619. In fact he got his insiration from oldere statues. Originally it stood on a pedestal of 6 foot high. During the bombardements of Bruxelles in 1695 by the sun king Louis XIV, the little statue was taken from his pedestal to protect the little man from the shootings.

In 1745 the statue was stolen by the english soldiers. The inhabitants of Geeraardsbergen could take it back from the soldiers. After exposing it on their Great Place, it was given back to the bruxellars.

A little later, in 1747 it was even stolen twice bij french soldiers. The second time there were troubles in Bruxelles and a masacre was hardly avoided.Ling Louis XV had the soldiers punished for their wantonnes. In order to put the Bruasslars back in a good mood he gave the little Manneken a beautiful outfit embroided with gold, a feathered hood and a sword. Manneken Pis was knighted it to the nobility to the order of Saint Louis. This meant that the French had to salute the statue passing by...

The statue became aclassicistic, belgian limestone niche in 1770 to replace the podest.

Stil the original statue did not last till now : in 1817 it was stolen and broken by a recently liberated hard labour. With help of fragments a new mould was vreated. With this a new Manneken Pis was moulded and exposed again on 6 december 1818.

The statue has several outfits.Its first outfit was given by Maximiliaan-Emmanuel of Beieren, which was councelar-general of the Netherlands from 1692 until 1714. He participated at a feast for the arquebuses shooters in 1698. He was able to shoot the upper jay and was elected to king of the gild. The happy Maximilian donated al the brothers of the guild an outfit of blue cloth of Beieren and gave one to Manneken Pis. At the moment its garderobe exist of 600 outfits, they are stored in the house of the king or in the Museum of the Town. Manneken Pis received his first outfit 1 may 1698. The governor of the Austrian Netherlands gave the outfit at the occasion of a fest organised by a Brussels guild. Manneken Pis still receieves often outfits. As thanks he gives the donators a barrel of beer that is connected directly to the little statue. Special outfits are that as Elvis Presley or Mickey Mouse .

There are many histories about Manneken Pis. According to one of the legends a little boy urinated against a door of a witch living at the polace where the fountain stays at this moment. The witch was so cross that she changed the boy into a statue. An other legend tells that a man had lost his son. He found the boy after two days, nearby the place where the statue can be admired today. When the father saw the child, it was urinating. As a sign of freedom, the father had made a fountain with a urinating little boy.

In Geraardsbergen they assure that they were the first ones to have a Manneken Pis. Fact is that they have a Manneken Pis since 1459. According to the Brussels Archives a little statue stood in 1452 on the corner of the Stovestreet and the Oakstreet. This statue was called 'Juliaensken Borre' (= in fact fountain of the little Juliaan). In common language it was often called 'Manneken-Pis' ,because of its special form. The common denomination had the priority above the official nomination,which is not to be found after after 1668 . This first statue was made of stone.

(With thanks to Bas van Iersel about the garderobe and the legends!)

<p>Success in the music industry hinges on building constructive and positive relationships.&nbsp; And to do that, you gotta be cool.&nbsp; And there&#39;s nothing cooler than someone who can make fun of him or herself.&nbsp; In fact, if being made fun of was a sign of being cool, Sonicbids Artist Relations Manager, Benjy Kantor, would be the coolest guy in the world!!!&nbsp; </p><p>Having a sense of humor doesn&#39;t mean you have to be cracking people up all the time.&nbsp; It simply means that you&#39;re able to look at life&#39;s little foibles with grace and aplomb, and sometimes that means not being afraid to be embarrassed.&nbsp; Heck, you&#39;re a musician -- you know what it means to put yourself up on stage for everyone else to stare at!</p><p>There&#39;s no reason you shouldn&#39;t take that same fearless attitude with putting yourself in front of promoters and other artists, and at the same time realize you can&#39;t be everything to everybody, and some people might just laugh.&nbsp; And when they do, laugh right with &#39;em, because if nothing else it will let them know you&#39;re on-the-level, down-to-earth, and that you know there are funny things about the world we live in.&nbsp; More likely than not, you&#39;ll gain a fan, and it&#39;s a great start to building those relationships that are going to help you meet your music (or career) goals.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;I just wanted to mention,what a great group of artists comprise and contribute to this outstanding fellowship( if you will)........................Starting from &#39;Dazed&#39; on going onward ! </p><p>My goal ..........enjoy the company,because it&#39;s <em>SPECIAL</em> </p><p>CHEERS,</p><p>Larry T.................................</p>
