I had my first taste of CAH while at Fanfest, and have been quite disappointed that there wasn't an easy way to play the game with people despite only being on the other side of the internets.

Then while I was lazily browsing imgur the other day I encountered Pretend You're Xyzzy, which is literally CAH Online. Played a game with some of the imgur people earlier today, actually - the system has some bugs but it's pretty solid.

If I organized a weekly session, either Friday evenings (late EU/middle US) and/or during the day on Saturdays, how many people would be interested in playing?

That card came up in a game with my family, with the winning hand

Throwing virgins into volcanos
Unrequited oral sex

Barely beating

Batman

Someone will have to explain this game to me, but from what I've heard it sounds hilarious. I'd be up for it.

Short and sweet version:
- There are two decks of cards, Black and White.
- Black cards have phrases/statements/questions, usually with blank spaces.
- White cards have objects, people, concepts, etc.
- Each person has a hand of White cards.
- Every turn, the Card Czar draws a Black card, then reads it. All of the other players have to select from their hands a number of white cards equal to the number of blank spaces on the Black card and place them face-down on the table (or hand them to the Czar). This number is usually 1, but can go up to 3.
- The Card Czar looks at all of the White cards played that turn, then picks the card (or cards, if the Black card called for multiple) that make the best (read: hilarious/disgusting) combination when placed in the blanks of the Black card.
- The owner of the White card(s) in question takes the Black card and earns a point. White cards played that round are tossed into a discard pile and replaced from the deck. The person to the right of the Card Czar is the Card Czar for the next turn.
- First player to collect some predetermined number of points/Black cards is the winner.

You will get some hilarious shit out of this game, pretty much guaranteed. Couple of highlights of mine from Fanfest that had Falcon struggling to breathe:
"When I'm having sex with you, I think about   peeing a little bit  ."
"If God didn't want us to have   the Make-A-Wish Foundation  , He wouldn't have given us    dying of dysentery  ."
