HASH TRASH - RUN 662

HASH TRASH - RUN 662
'Twas the Hash Before Christmas

Place: Herzliya Pituach
Hare: Bravefart aided by Dead Boring

'Twas the Hash before Christmas and all through Pituaccchhh,
Was a chill in the air and a great deal of ruaccchhh.

The Holyland Hashers lived up to their name,
Red n' green season's greetings were a part of the game.

St. Nicholas joined the group at the first hold,

But even Swamp Monster knew the elf wasn't that old.

Bravefart the Hare decked her halls in bright tinsel,
Golden bells, angels, a small little minstrel...

She got a Down-down for missing a spot.
Nippy weather's okay but on Fabi's shirt -- not!

Never (that fucker) wore a mistletoe sprig,

Though it might have been holly or some other twig.

RA Fer Fox Sake, now returned from Iraq,

Stopped for a bit of a neighborly talk.

Dead Boring, Diablo, Dr. D all played Santa,
Boston got grilled about things that are tantra.

Lager Lout gave the group cause for some fear,
Expressing a wish for espresso, not beer.

But Mum and Dad Fretwell then set things aright,
Downing their Down-downs -- the kids are alright.

The run was deemed festive. Now, filled with good cheer,
No decision yet made 'bout the first run of the year --

We send a call out to Hashers undispersed.
Let us know if you plan to be here on the First.

Jumping into the sea's just a lil bit o' heaven,
And a great way to start out 2007!

PLUS... MOM, HASH TRASH SAID A DIRTY WORD!

Hash Scribe has been called onto the carpet for censoring the spelling of one particular Hasher's name. This was done not out of prurience, but simply to circumvent overly-enthusiastic Spam filters which have become increasingly vigilant, throwing out all real mail and allowing passage only to advertisements for sex aids*, hair tonic and other forms of snake oil. So here's the test - let's see if we can write a message that includes the word Neverfucker and send it out via a mass Yahoo! e-mailing during the holiday season. This should be good.

*One never had penis** envy till the Internet. Now one thinks one might be missing something.

**Oops! There's another word that'll get us Spam-filtered for sure!***

*** Can one footnote a footnote?

IN CLOSING... THE RETURN OF WOODCOCK

Hurrah! Captain Caveman has forwarded Hash Trash the following glad tidings: "Well I'm packed and ready to go and wouldn't you know it I've been informed by my boss that I will be returning to Israel! We are truly located in the land of miracles! So I'll be back after 27 Jan for another tour... Israel's not rid of me yet, hahahahaha! -- Woodcock"

Expect more joint activities with the Jerusalem Hashers to follow.

HASH TRASH - RUN 661

HASH TRASH - RUN 661

Lazing on a Sunny Afternoon (in the Wintertime...)

Place: Nof Yam Park
Hare: Boston Creamed

The mid-winter sun shone brightly* as the Hashers gathered for a run that was, by request, scheduled an hour early and very VERY short, due to the British Embassy Christmas Ball. At the outset, while still standing 'round the circle, Rocket set the tone for Run 661 by announcing that he had seen the "On In" marking near his house and from that point on, things just... sort of... moved... slowly...

On-on! Or rather, On... on... Assistant RA Dead Boring and GM Dr. Do-little elected to abandon their sacred duties and strolled at a leisurely pace, while Deliverance, Neverf**ker, Rocket, and the newly named Conjugal Visit (formerly Liz) sweated it out.

The group met up with walkers Diablo and Swamp Monster at the half-way point. The Hare, Boston Creamed, consulted with the lone Brit (Dead Boring**) as to whether he might lead the group in singing "Rule Britannia" but he claimed to know only the words to the first line*** and suggested instead that we sing "Jingle BALLS" in honor of the upcoming evening event. So we did. And Dead Boring has promised to figure out some hand gestures for the next time we sing this jewel of a song.

The second half included a tour of the site on which Deliverance's new house is being built. It is going to be very nice, with a fireplace, blue tile bathrooms, and a pantry as big as an elevator shaft. In fact, it is an elevator shaft. There will also be a pool and there will be a big Hash party there in 2010 or 2011. Save the date.

We then passed the On-In marking about which Rocket had so kindly informed us earlier. In the interests of speed and efficiency, beer keys were handed to Neverf**ker who then proceeded, along with everyone else, to amble on back to the circle. Never was a run more lackadaisical, laid-back, lethargic, lugubrious, lollygagging and many other words beginning with "L".

The run was deemed "shitty" because people in Nof Yam just let their dogs run free. Well, at least that's what they told yours truly. And I believe them.

*A winter drought arouses mixed emotions in the tender Hasher breast (no, not that one). On one hand, the sunny, slightly chill weather is perfect for running. On the other hand, what will thirsty Hares drink this summer? Yes, I know the answer is clearly beer, but what if we aren't able to shower?
**What has happened to the Empire? You guys are slipping!
*** So do I, for that matter.

Down-downs

Hare - Boston Creamed
FRB - Dr. Do-little

POST SCRIPT
The Holyland Hash House Harriers made quite an elegant appearance at the British Embassy Christmas Ball, from Dead Boring's satin tux and Bravefart's spangly shoes to Stroker's arm candy (whose name is Lior). We did not do so well at the raffle -- aside from Lager Lout, the two Hash tables were a Bermuda Triangle in a sea prizes. On the plus side, the group photo (which will be scanned and duly posted online) proves we sure do clean up nice.

IN CLOSING... POST-FEMINIST YUKS FROM OUR MAN IN BAGHDAD
Asked for a few words from the Iraqi front, Fer Fox Sake initially retorted that he had lost his sense of humor due to almost being blown to bits three times a day. Well, who can blame him? However, he then proceeded to redeem himself, sort of, with these images entitled: Women as Explained by Engineers.

http://holylandhhh.blogspot.com/2006/12/ffs-joke-pix.html

Cute... very cute... Please come back soon safe and sound, FFS, so that the women of the Holyland H3 can break your legs. On-on!

HASH TRASH - RUN 660

HASH TRASH - RUN 660
O Canada! A HHHH - JHHH joint
Place: Park Canada near Latroun
Hares: Captain Caveman & Woodcock

According to the guidebooks, "On the northern side of Route 1 across from the Latroun monastery is the beautiful Park Canada. The park is named in honor of the Canadian community which donated the money for its renovation. The park includes 7000 dunam of pine, olive and orchid forest. There are many walking trails through the park as well as picnic areas. During the spring months the glades are packed full of flowers. A Roman period irrigation system can be seen as well as some ancient burial site. This is the perfect place for a days hiking and picnicking. There is no entrance fee, and it is a good place to open a bottle of Latroun wine."

Notice that it says "hiking and picnicking" but not "running"! According to reports received by Humble Scribe, these glades, trails and other touristic wonders were never seen by the participants of Run 660 (also known as Run 110 for the Jerusalem H3) but a good time was apparently had nonetheless. Humble Scribe uses the phrase "apparently" because, having absented herself from the Hash again (oh, sue me!) she requested accurate notes from the Hares in describing the event and got what can be described, at best, as fuzzy recollections of an afternoon spent in a pleasant haze.

Captain Caveman said, "The run started out with the Hares reciting their well-prepared poems explaining what was to come. Woody rhymed in a most optimistic way while Captain Caveman's ditty was only negative. From there the run was all downhill (actually it was mostly uphill). Ceremonies were shared. Names were named. Fire was lit and food was eaten. Woody left for good and we all went home".

Er... one small detail missing there, Woody n' Captain. You lost the walkers! Alright, let's say, the walkers got lost. Anyway, they didn't show up, it got dark and the runners, desperate for beer, finally set out to find the walkers. Well, really they set out to find the keys to the beer, which were on Lager Lout who is still not sure if would have made a difference if she'd been dead or alive, given those circumstances!

A more lucid report was sent over by Woodcock in his latest -- and last -- bi-weekly Hash JH3 Trash, which we respectfully quote in full:
"The Joint Hash with the HHHH from Tel Aviv was a great get together of old friends and new ones that were made during the Hash and the cookout that followed.
"The JH3 Hashers gathered up at the meeting point and convoyed out to Canada Park where we linked up with the Hashers from Tel Aviv.
"There were poems belted out by the hares and instructions dispensed which the walkers ignored and then we were off on the Hash. Of course it was all down hill so to speak into the valley that runs through the park.
"20 runners made it to the first check hold. Yes, that's right, 20 RUNNERS! Halfway there was a beer check but one thing was missing, THE BEER! No time to position the stash but we drank a "virtual" down down anyway which was taken out of the "virtual" car. I hope we didn't leave "virtual" beer bottles laying all over the place there!
"Once again we set off and back into the valley and onto a road where we SHOULD have run into the walkers but they were no where to be seen. Hum... The runners clamored their way back up to high ground and the finish point and noticed the walkers were not there yet. We finally determined the walkers were hopelessly lost and sent out a rescue party.
"In the mean time we drank beer of course and started up the grills for the cookout. The walkers FINALLY showed up and a bunch of down downs were commenced which I once again didn't record. But they did include the Knickers for molesting the poor dog on the trail and the Hooter Girls, Peeper and Phil (yet to be named at this point) Two hashers were named: Francene will be known as "Freebie" and Phil will be known as "Psycho Phil."
"Oh, and there was a down down for yours truly because it was my last Hash. That was the nastiest stuff I ever had to drink in my life thanks to Peeper!
"And on that note I'd like to say thanks to everyone for making this joint hash a HUGE success! The food was fantastic and nobody wanted the evening to end, what a blast!
"KEEP THE HASH ALIVE!!!
"Woodcock"

The barbecue, lit by romantic headlights and fueled not by Latroun wine but good old beer, was an auspicious if inebriated indication of more joint activities to come with the Jerusalem Hash House Harriers. Meanwhile, here is a list of the Down-downs that people could remember.

Down-downs
FRB, DFL - None*
SCB - Who remembers?**
Returnee - Bullshit
2 Good Blow Jobs - Deliverance (for blowing the horn)
Flying - R2D2
Doing the Beit She'an run in 1:38 - Dead Boring
Doing the Beit She'an run in 1:59 - Deliverance
Mountin' the Dog - Knickers (Jerusalem H3)
Naming - Freebie, Psycho Phil (Jerusalem H3)

We wish Woodcock some fine Hashing in Iraq's Green Zone with the Baghdad Hash House Harriers (billed as "The Most Dangerous Hash House in the World"). Stay safe and On-on!

* Caveman's excuse: "None - we waited so long for the walkers who got lost and they had the keys to the beer that the circle was oval.
** See above.

Pregnant Pause of the Jerusalem Hash sent over a list of her personal favorite Hash songs. She writes "Most of them are pretty easy and if you're interested we could try singing some of them. On On!"

HASH TRASH - RUNS 658 & 659

HASH TRASH - RUNS 658 & 659

Place: Hash Weekend - Kibbutz Ze'elim

They said it couldn't be done but we done done it! The Hash Weekend took place and a fine time was had by all -- and there's photos to prove it, too, courtesy of Loose Caboose and Turn-Ho, at www.flickr.com/photos/mjasonj/. If anyone has photos they'd like to add to this gallery, mail them to Hash Trash who will forward them to the relevant parties.

Getting to Kibbutz Ze'elim wasn't difficult as long as you followed the directions and didn't lean out the car window into Gaza. Our rooms were very pleasant although it did get cold at night. Fortunately, Bravefart figured out how to crank up her room's A/C to somewhere between body temperature and the tropics; she subsequently got a lot of invitations to visit other people's bedrooms. But no. Not in that way.

Friday night's "run" was a stroll up the kibbutz path and back down again. No one broke a sweat*, no one went flying, and yet, somehow, we managed to lose Diablo and Swamp Monster (aka: Noah). Loose Caboose managed to get his exercise by running off to find them and naturally, they turned up 5 minutes later, unescorted. Down-downs were delayed by half and hour while we waited for "Lose Kibbutz" to return.

Down Downs - Run 658

Hares: Pussy Cat & friend

FRB: Lager Lout

SCB: Bravefart

Not SCB: Dr. Do-little

Returnee: Boston Creamed

Everyone else: Dr. D, Loose Caboose, Michelle, Turn-Ho

DFL: Loose Caboose

Lost: Diablo (taking the bullet for Swamp Monster)

By the time the barbecue fires were aflame, the group was joined by C3PO, R2D2 and Twin Peaks, who introduced Dead Boring to the concept of toasted marshmallows. (We expect the roof of his mouth is still embroiled, as it were, in this concept). At the end of the meal, Lager Lout handed out Hash Nobel Prizes to the deserving laureates. Boston Creamed was awarded her first Nobel Prize for Literature; Bravefart received the Nobel Prize for Economics**; Diablo got the Prize for Physics (he's a regular Hasher) Twin Peaks for Biology (cloning small Hashers); Turn-Ho and Loose Caboose for Medicine (they're irregular); Dr. Do-little for Patriotism & Loyalty and Michelle was awarded the Hash Nobel Prize for Peace.

After dinner, the adults repaired to the local pub to drink beer, play pool, and avoid paying the cover charge for a Reggae concert none wanted to see anyway. As it turns out, Ze'elim is the regional Rasta center, frequented by a lot of hairy turbaned folks who look kind of like this but not as cute.

Beautiful sunny Saturday morning was devoted to breakfast, more breakfast, spa treatments, a visit to an ostrich farm (turns out they're native to the Northern Negev), and a treasure hunt organized by C3P0, Michael, R2D2 and Swamp Monster. (Turn-Ho, an experienced public school teacher, found the buried loot, a bag of taffy, with the greatest of ease).

Goldmember drove into the kibbutz in time for lunch, which was another round of excellent barbecue, followed by a brief moment to digest (too brief, I fear, for those who actually ate) .It was then on-on to Run 659, which took place about five minutes drive away from the kibbutz, among the sand dunes where the wild go-carts play.

The location of the run was beautiful in its sparseness and there were several moments reminiscent of "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" in which we scrambled to the top of a dun-colored rocky flat to look down over a dramatic vista of... more dun-colored rocky flats. We also engaged in shadow play, and came upon both water and green grass in the middle of the desert. The halfway song was "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" -- in all, the sort of surreal experience the desert provides so well.

Down-downs were held back at the kibbutz and included a naming ceremony for Michael, who swore up and down that he didn't really like the Hash name he was proposing. And we believe him. Special thanks were given to Dr. Do-little for arranging and pushing the whole Hash Weekend project from conception to completion -- up to and including the Bedouin tent groaning board -- you did a great job, Dr. D and we thank you for a wonderful time.

Down Downs - Run 659

Hares: Dead Boring, Dr. Do-little

FRB: Goldmember

SCBoys: C3P0, R2D2

Marathoner: Goldmember

Returnees: Ben 10, Boston Creamed, Goldmember, Loose Caboose, Michelle, Turn-Ho

Flying: Goldmember

Naming: Ben 10 (formerly Michael)

Defacing the Desert: Diablo***

Here's to Him! - Dr. Do-little

*Indeed, Lager Lout wishes to point out that this is the first and possibly the last time she will be FRB. Relish the moment, LL!

** She may have to give it back, as she shattered the myth of Scottish frugality by buying a round of beer at the pub later that night.

*** Again, taking a bullet for Swamp Monster. What a good dad!

LOOKING FORWARD: HARE RAISER'S ROSTER-2007

1. If unable to meet a Haring obligation, Hares are responsible for finding replacement Hares for their date.

2. All those interested in a New Year's Day run with the traditional post-run dip in the sea, contact Twin Peaks, the Hare Raiser, by phone or via Hash Trash because her computer is on the fritz.
