The Run:

After hearing about all experiencing a good workout at last week’s brilliant hash in North Kingston, JIMA thought he’d counter with one of the shortest runs on record. It took just a tad over 10 min to get the beer check! And even in the 80 degree heat everyone (minus Bondo’s boobs) barely broke a sweat.

With the long-anticipated, but unexpected, return of Dryfoot Fairy we could only hope for a wonderful event. A run with ticks, rivers, brush and cold, delicious, thirst-quenching beer. But this was not to be. The group assembled at Manning Field in North Scituate with expectations low and beer bellies empty.

The hare arrived last-second with the only positive feature of this hash in tow (Just Holly ) leaving an arrow out due south past the ball fields and into the woods. A quick check had Amish going right and Basket and WHO leading left, on true trail. A quick return had Amish rounding up the rear not far from Oozing and Dryfoot chattin’ it up like a bunch of ladies. Once into the woods an arrow lead left up a fairly steep sandy hillclimb and then east to a slight downhill. With Basket, WHO and Just John easily cruising out to a lead the rest in the rear could hear (and see) them loop back around to the sandhill. Not wanting, or needing, to do that again Oozing , Amish, WIPOS and Bondo made a 180 and met the others back on trail downhill leading towards the ballfield. Dryfoot, trying to overachieve to make up for all the runs he’s missed in the past few months followed true trail and made a second ascent up the hill. A few puddles, a few patches of moss and 10min 32sec after the start we were at the beer check. That is if you call Honey Brown beer. But there were spicy Doritos and as mentioned earlier, Just Holly , so we had that going for us.

With some songs sung and the “beer” gone best bet was to head back to the cars and to the Bishop Hill Tavern for food and real drinks. At the back end of the parking lot we encountered not one, not two, but three fire trucks. Apparently they were conducting a training search and rescue and after seeing we were ok decided to move on. Good thing, as there was barely enough “beer” for us, yet alone all of those wanks! With WIPOS and Bondo having alone time back at the Vanogan (hey – they had to burn off all that energy unused by the hash somehow!) the circle moved along quickly and shortly. Just like the hash! WHO knows what the comments were, it couldn’t have been much based on the short time we were on an actual “trail.” What I do know was that the rating ended up being a -69, far too generous in my opinion! Hashit went to WIPOS (after his return to the group following finishing with Bondo) for confusingly putting on more Kevlar, Gore-Tex and other high-tech clothing for the circle than the actual run.

A quick trip up 6 to the Bishop Hill Tavern had us orally pleasuring (via song, how else!?) our waitress Laura, and making a new, yet scary friend. A new friend that made Amish wonder if he was going to leave the tavern alive. The hare must have worn himself out putting together that trail as he and Just Holly didn’t make it. We only missed Just Holly. With trails like this, is it any wonder that Dryfoot doesn’t show up anymore? WHO knows!?
