HASH TRASH - Run 634

HASH TRASH - Run 634

It was very hot. We circled up in the only shady spot the Hares could find in the blindingly bright sunshine, received instructions and on-on we went -- in all directions. Eventually, the Hare subtly indicated where the first marking could be found. And so, on-on we went -- for real this time -- through sand, earth, dust, dirt, (Deliverance got a mouthful of that in the second half). The runners were joined by Tally -- T.C. and Pat's very lovely dog, who hates being on a leash and has successfully figured out that if Mother says no, ask Father (and vice-versa). At the halfway point, the runners met the walkers to sing what can only be described as a cheeky little Hash ditty, which your loyal scribe has transcribed in its entirety below*. At the end of the second half, in their excitement and anticipation of some liquid libation, the final hold was missed by most of the runners. This oversight was noted by Dr. Doolittle who -- true to his role as the current GM -- was very good and did not shortcut, but still not as good as one other person (also see below).

* The ditty, as promised (threatened?) sung to the tune of "The Addams Family Theme"

HASH HOUSE HARRIERS

Their drinking is compulsive
Their running is convulsive
They're morally repulsive
The Hash House Harriers

CHORUS
Da da da da (snap fingers twice)
Da da da da (snap fingers twice)
Da da da da, da da da da, da da da da (snap fingers twice)

Their flatulence is rude and
Their genitals protrude when
They're running in the nude in
The Hash House Harriers

CHORUS
Da da da da (snap fingers twice)... etc.

Another e-mail will arrive tomorrow with directions to this Saturday's Hash. Anyone out there want to do it? Fer Fox Sake was supposed to be the Hare, but due to events beyond his control, he has taken up residence in Gaza.
