Irish Snap

A game played with a basic pack of cards.

The game is derived from regular snap, but as each player places down a card they must say a number with it, the number said must start from Ace (1) and ascend to King (13) then start over so as to create a loop. If the card they place down matches that of the number they say everyone must place their hands down onto the formed pile of cards. The person who places their hand down last picks up all the cards and adds it to their hand.

To win the game you must run out of cards and successfully Snap (place your hand on the formed pile of cards) before any other player while you have no cards left. A player with no cards can also come last in Snapping a pile of cards though and gain cards as a result.

The game is notorious for being overly engaging and resulting in injured hands.
Kid 1: Im bored.

Slippery Irish Skip-Devil

An impish, creepy little man who enjoys irritating a person to no end by skipping circles around a person, (usually while they're walking) all the while singing bad irish pub-songs, & sea shanties, & being impossible to catch by the person he's annoying.
Bill: Ok ok, HA HA. Cut it out, you're annoying me, & you almost tripped me.

Slippery Irish Skip-Devil (skipping): "Now Fiddler’s Green is a place I heard tell, where the fishermen go if they don’t go to hell"

Bill: Enough! Shut up, you crazy little bastard!!

Slippery Irish Skip-Devil (skipping): "Where skies are all clear and the dolphins do play, and the cold coast of Greenland is far, far away!"

Bill: AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!

Irish Hand Grenade

A mixed drink typically drunk on St. Patrick's Day, made and drunk like so.
1. Fill a pint glass halfway with a stout such as Guiness.
2. Fill two shot glasses, one with Irish cream such as Baileys and one with Irish whiskey such as Jameson and set them both inside the top of the glass so that they wedge against each other.
3. Pull out the shot of Irish whiskey like you would the pin of a hand grenade and down the shot. The shot of Irish cream will fall in to the stout. Down that next.
"Sure do love these Irish Hand Grenades. Just wish it wasn't so fucking awkward."
