HASH TRASH - Run 648
The Itchy and Scratchy Show!
Hares: Ferfoxsake and Pusher
The weather was hot. We circled up and - in keeping with it being a Rosh Hash-ana run - were promised this would be "The Run of the Year"*. It was also characterized as having "Something for Everyone" as well as including one element that would separate the "Eagles" (those following the Way of the True Hasher) from the "Turkeys" (self explanatory). That said, the runners set out for the fields surrounding the EuroPark office complex.
The first half was fairly uneventful and conversation revolved mainly around the topic of shopping, specifically hydration accessories**, the most highly recommended being the Fuel Belt (cost- $28-35).
At the halfway point, tribute was paid to Dandruff and Pusher, who are going home to Australia, with a round of the first verse and chorus of that country's "best known and much loved national song". Engraved pewter mugs were later bestowed (and Dandruff is demanding a special 147 Hash patch).
It was then that we entered the Heart of Darkness. Following the Way of the Hasher, the Eagles - led by the valiant, trumpet-blaring R2D2 and C3PO - forged ahead through thorns, nettles, and reeds. Those trailing behind, (the so-called Eaglets) wished someone had thought to purchase a machete, seeing as they are designed to cut through underbrush, are not terribly expensive ($60-90) and come in very handy when Hashing. They could be used, for example, to quell over-enthusiastic Hares with a light tap to the head.
The troubling subject of men suffering bloody nipples has come up again and we cannot fault the sufferers for complaining. Will no one bring the Manzierre from Seinfeldian fiction into reality? After all, if a skort can be real ($48), then why not the Bro?
*Unclear whether this referred to Gregorian calendar year 2006 or Jewish year 5766, which just passed.
**Some of us may remember the days when this was called "drinking water out of a bottle".
