A Farewell to Scatty Hash

Run #1209, June 1, 2009

Hare:  Pubic Housing and Swamp Whine

Location: Burrillville Middle School 

Weather:  Clear, 70's

Present:    Dr WHO, Basket Boom Boom, Bondo Jovi, Amish It Head, WIPOS, Crackatoa, Clam Cakes, Retard, Wee Balls, Scatwoman, Fuwangi Boner, Dogmeat.

The Run:
There’s not much that can be done in an innovative way with the Burrillville Middle School. But the whole point of this one was to give Scatwoman a last (?) RI hash that she could remember, at least as a composite (compost?) of all of her many runs here. The trails loop around the school, following the wide turn of the Branch River as it flows towards the Slatersville Reservoir, and are mostly based upon an old railroad grade that mysteriously follows the same bend. The only choices a hare has are:

1.      Clockwise or counterclockwise

2.      How many times to cross the river

3.      Where to stash the beer.

 

The hares chose: a) counterclockwise, b) 6, and c) at the west side, across the river. That about sums it up. Bondo as always, stuck to the center trail and crossed only to get his beer. Even Basket couldn’t get lost here. Retard fell way behind. Fuwangi and WHO followed trail faithfully (morons!). And Amish stuck with the women. (Brilliant!) But it was a short trail, with good beer, and some shiggy here and there. And none of us is getting any younger, you know.

 

The circle was held at 290 Snake Hill Rd. The run was rated. Based upon no pavement, 43% bimbos (a new record), and several refreshing river crossings, the total was +0.69! Scatwoman was punished for showing the good sense to leave RI. Amish achieved Hashit, his fondest dream. And dinner was served, beer flowed, and Scatwoman showed us two fine reasons why we would miss her. Best of luck to Scatty in DC!
