Naked hopscotch on a beach. Hmm.
Revealed: how Brian Cowen plans to get in Obama's good books

....TAOISEACH (Irish Prime Minister) Brian Cowen will present the first lady with The Pear is Ripe by Irish poet John Montague...it is among a selection of presents chosen for the Obamas ahead of the trip.

....Among the books selected are a limited edition of Montague's colourful memoirs, a book by Bairbre McCarthy called The Keeper of the Crock of Gold and an illustrated edition of The Children of Lir for young Malia and Sasha.

Montague is one of Ireland's leading poets, and celebrated his 80th birthday last month.....The Obamas may get a kick from the poet's eclectic career but might be unlikely to risk his bizarre hangover cure during the St Patrick's Day festival – naked hopscotch on a beach.

Is that hopscotch board made of seashells?! :D

Actually, that sounds like a really nice gift.
