Run# 1875 The Burns Supper Hash<br/>
Date: Jan 31, 2022<br/>
Location: Lincoln Woods/ Moshassuck River<br/>
Hounds: Basket, Just Pat, OOzing, Pussy Galore, Amish and Next Week<br/>
Hare: Just Aiden, with inept assistance from Shemale Man<br/>
Hashit: OOzing<br/><br/>

The Hares promised a great trail, haggis, whiskey, scotch eggs and public flogging of an English lord!<br/>
WIPOS was supposed to set trail but Shemale begged and pleaded to take it off him. So WIPOS boycotted the hash. I wish we all had.<br/><br/>
The start was from the parking lot of the Keller-Williams office, east of the YMCA. There had been a winter blizzard for the ages a few days before so there were high expectations. However, the hare disappointed (not to be the first of the evening) all by warning that this was not a XC-ski Hash!<br/><br/>
Basket and OOzing looked at the 2 or so feet of snow all around and ignored him. The rest of the pack either ran in snow-shoes, or just their shaggy shoes. Trail was marked with the blood of a wild haggis.<br/>
The trail started northwards into the woods, mostly bushwhacking. Speedy FRBs were PG on Snowshoes, Next Week and Amish in boots. On xc-skis and holding the rear were Basket and OOzing, and hare Just Aiden sweeping the rear.<br/><br/>
The trail crossed a few streams and downed trees that the skiers navigated like Olympic athletes. Navigating the first two checks, then to the third, where most of the pack ended up on a false trail. NW, Amish and OOzing stayed on true trail, to a large boulder and the 'W'. The hare shared a couple of old whiskies that he had which were quite delicious. Basket was lost, and eventually seeing no marks, turned back and joined the pack.<br/><br/>
Wee nips enjoyed, the trail set out into the woods again, first south, then west. We skied on trail behind the Y. The trail led towards the Lodge, to the BC on a large rock just behind it/near the cell tower. The rock was a little dicey to get up with skis, except for the experienced B3. Everyone got to the top and enjoyed beer. OOzing only managed half way up and begged for beer. Having pity on him, they tossed him down one. Harpoon IPA. Wow, another disappointment.<br/><br/>
Beer consumed, Just Aiden led the pack down towards the fish pond whch was frozen over. OOzing skied down and over the wooden bridge with Just Aiden leading the way. The pack headed up behind the Y and to the office parking lot.<br/><br/>
Circle was held in the office conference room. Rating for Just Aiden was in the high positives. Negative zero for Shemale. <br/><br/>
Returnees Amish and Next Week were given down downs as back-sliders.<br/><br/>
There were numerous nominations for hashit. Shemale for embarrassing his poor innocent boy. Amish for bringing his skis but allowing himself to be dissuaded by the hare. Shemale for declaring no one knows WHO Robbie Burns is. NW for volunteering to a multi-day hike and camp with Shemale. Just Aiden for not choosing a better dad. But alas, no, poor OOzing gets it for choosing not to hang out with this pathetic lot at the BC!!<br/><br/>
Swing low to follow, and then food to be enjoyed.<br/><br/>
An Address to a Haggis was recited by all. Unfortunately, the hare forgot to heat the food, so there was cold haggis and neeps and tatties. Thankfully, OOzing bought piping hot scotch broth that was enjoyed by all. And the hare also forgot the scotch eggs at home! More disappointment.<br/><br/>
Overall, despite the obvious disappointments, a good time was had by all.<br/><br/>
ONON.
