The Two O'Clock Titty Revealed

Oh my. Um, yeah, we'll let Flickr's artolog explain the above.
I've lived here for over 30 years, but it wasn't until a few weeks ago that I was initiated into one of the secret wonders of San Francisco, the so-called "two o'clock titty" of St. Mary's Cathedral, which appears at 2 pm, and is a staple of academic life for Catholic schoolboys.
Hee. Ahem.
Any of you kids born and raised here in San Francisco care to chime in: is this iconic schoolboy (or schoolgirl) sex fodder? Did it make you horny? Were you sent to confession for looking at the shadow?

HAHA! I'm so glad you used this Brock! I stumbled across this and submitted it to the contribute section because I'm 30 and have lived in SF since I was 1 and a half and have NEVER heard of this. I'm guessing it's a hidden gem for most residents. Loves it.
I was born and raised here, and I wish I could say I knew about it, but this is the first time I've heard of it.
Yep. The knowledge of which was passed down from my parents to me.
I have never heard of this but it is awesome! I want to start a band called "Two O'clock Titty"!
Yes, this pleases my inner kindergartner greatly.
my inner kindergartner doesn't give a crap but my inner 7th grader is hell of riled up
This is the best thing I've seen all day! I live about four blocks from "Our Lady of Maytag" (c'mon, doesn't it remind you of a giant washing machine agitator?), but this is the first I've heard of its pseudo-pornographic shadow. Good work!
I learned about the morning and afternoon breasts when I moved here. They are formally known as the Left and Right Consecrated Breasts of the Blessed Virgin Mother Mary Maytag.
Hey, NSFW work tag too much to ask for, Brock? My inability to resist sweet, sweet marble titty nearly got me fired.
I could see this every afternoon outside my bathroom window growing up, and always heard it referred to as the Breast of St. Mary.
But since I wasn't a Cathloic school boy, it didn't make me horny.
Considering that it's a Catholic church, shouldn't it be a penis?
It took me a while to get it.
that church needs to be torn down...not only is it one of the biggest eyesores in sf, now its blasphemous too.
P.S. your Flickr link goes to a photo of Tori Spelling. Was that on purpose?
Check out the full story on the “2 o’clock titty.” Take a gander at a different angle…
This is oh-so-much better than a tortilla!

Yes, yes, and yes. This was well known to all teens who went to the attached school. Even a 'mo like me was all about the two-o'clock-titty.
who knew mary had such a perfect b cup
wow!
i'm going back to church
I work in one of the other buildings in this photograph, and I think I know what time I'll be taking my break tomorrow...I never liked the church either, but somehow this almost makes up for its fugliness.
Well, this presents a quandary for me: I will be at St. Mary's for a wedding on Saturday, at precisely 2pm. Do I run out and across town to behold the boob or do I endure a lengthy wedding with a case of the 4th grader giggles? (I'm inherently lazy and a totally immature giggler... I'm sure I'll be inside, feelin' it)
Shibi, yes, run out to catch the shadow! knowing that a gigantic shadow boob hovers above the ceremony will be too much for you, or anyone, to stand.
surprised they didn't design it to cast a silhouette of an altar boy up there.
oh. was that out loud?
Is it the one-oclock titty when daylight saving time ends?
i remember this from high school. it was a running gag at our bacchanalia at st marys
More completely unrealistic expectations for women via the catholic church. How many years has the cathedral had this perfectly pert boob? Bitch!
Yep, my parents taught me that when I was about 10. I thought everyone knew ths.
I've shown this picture to several male friends. None of them could make out the titty. They're either extremely left brained or just really, really gay.
old news, but who doesn't like such a fine example of a titty? The best!!!!
