Leprechaun Trapping 101

[Leyland]

Aye, it's that time of year to be sure! Are you ready for St Patrick's Day - have you got your lucky leprechaun yet? If no, then try this:

'You can make a trap with common household items. Take a net, a cardboard box, green paint, green tissue paper, some pennies and an old shoe. Firstly, paint the cardboard box green and place the old shoe inside. Cover the opening with thin green tissue paper. Carefully lay the pennies on the tissue paper.

Place the trap near some trees or hedgerows. Make sure it's disguised well and blends into the surroundings. When the Leprechaun sees the coins he will try to collect them. He will step onto the tissue paper, it will break and he will fall into the box. Now quickly throw the net over him.

You can also try to lure a leprechaun with some poteen instead of an old shoe. When he falls into the box he will drink the brew, get drunk and then you can grab him.'


www.chiff.com gets the credit for this.

Why trap the poor things? Why not just buy'em a Guinness and live in peaceful co-existence?

Are you ready for St Patrick's Day

Nope. I'm neither Irish or Catholic, so it doesn't concern me. I take it that, like most Americans, you are ⅛ Irish?

Are there female leprechauns? Because I'm sure you know what I'm thinking if there are.

No, actually I'm mostly of English, Scots, Welsh, and wee bits of other western continental European origin in that order. Very little true Irish at all!

I just liked the clever green design of the trap, but expect that the little fellows are quite impervious to traps of any kind. Not impervious to poteen mind you.

 

[saliotthomas]

poteen that stuff's lethal,good for the krak but drive you mental.

The Leprechaun I trapped last year is asleep and I can't wake him up.

 

[Leyland]

You sure you didn't catch the notorious Rip van Winklechaun?

 

[sparkchaser]

You sure you didn't catch the notorious Rip van Winklechaun?

I'm pretty sure. I caught him last year then put him into a glass jar for safe keeping but had to put the lid on to make sure he wouldn't escape.

 

[Leyland]

Oh please .... they aren't fireflies you know!

HAHA! I'm not Irish, but a lowly Catholic. I'm a polack born in America. Although I feel Irish when I drink too many Guinnesses!

 

[sparkchaser]

Nope. I'm neither Irish or Catholic, so it doesn't concern me.

Druids celebrate it too but to them it's more of a somber remembrance of a genocide.

 

[Stewart]

Neither am I a druid.

 

[sparkchaser]

Neither am I a druid.

That's good because I didn't want to picture you in a flowing white robe holding an oak staff.

 

[helgi]

oh, I'm terribly sorry. I was looking for Leprechan Trapping 103. I must have stumbled into the wrong class again

 

[Leyland]

Uh, huh. Right. You've been drinking poteen with 'em instead of learning how to trap 'em!

 

[helgi]

ahh shut yer trap I'm drinkin'

 

[Leyland]

Any luck o' the Irish yet?

Can you please explain what St. Patrick day is? Is that like a kind of religious day?
