Memorial Day Hash

Run # 573 May 26, 1997

Hare: Basket

Hashit:: Oozing

by  Snot

The directions for this run, as always, when given by Basket were pathetic, as the run start was at Burriville school.   Yet the web directions said Glendale Middle School, no wonder we don’t get many Hashers together! But we Hashers are persistent bastards and by 2.10pm although the hare (Basket), was not present the following managed to overcome the poor directions, Short Peck, Beyond Hope, Async, Gobble Gobble, Itchy Brother, Oozing Syph, Bondo Jovi, Jovi Juice, Jake, Shine on Harvard Moon (Boston), Shiggy Pitts (Boston), Ciderman (NYH3), Rusty (Newport H3), Rhody Cash (Newport H3) and yours truly. A hot steamy day with expectations high.

Finally our Hare for the day, Basket, showed up a little bit on the wet side. The pack set off and very soon were stretched with your scribe chasing up the rear as usual after taking the first two checks in the wrong direction, with Rusty flying off in all directions with whistles going off everywhere, you are only supposed to blow them when you are on trail-Dopey! Everyone at some point expecting to cross water which is Basket's tradition, were surprised to finally get to a derelict building for the beer check. Up to this point it was poorly marked false trails, lots of brambles and bloody long.

The beer stop was welcome in the heat of the day and Shine on got very involved with the singing having orgasms at every verse where female genitalia was mentioned. Our band leader (Basket) led the singing for this large turnout. Basket must spend at least one day a week sitting in the bog at work practicing these songs as he always comes up with a fresh one, a song that is.

The second half of this run was slightly different to the front half with the pack setting off up hill down through a few checks very soon to find, surprise, surprise-a water crossing, the flour led us to rope which showed us the exit point, one after the other we swam across this grotty germ infested shit, thinking the worst was over, only to be confronted by black knee deep shiggy, great for keeping your skin young looking-thank you Basket. Then the hare provided another swim to wash off the previous shit, Hopeless tried to monkey climb the crossing on the second rope, but finally let go to be up to his neck in more crappy water. Basket laughing like a Hyena, but Async and Short Peck had somehow avoided these great crossings. The owners of the said properties we crossed were present to watch these events, but were speechless by the time the last of us had gone past, these poor miserable bastards only coming out to collect their newspapers.

The run trail finally taking us up to the start point. The circle up was at Basket’s pad with Down Downs for short cutting bastards, guests and newcomers (none, due to the fact they could not find the poxy start). The hare was finally given a 1.6x10 to the minus 69 and accused that it was too dry, our resident Hashshit wearer Oozing Syph was yet again nominated for this prestigious award, he in fact could be the longest Hashshit wearer in the history of the RIH3, historical documents will need to be checked to confirm this rumor, a suggestion was made that he should stitch it to his running attire or his Dick (to Phone). Another good run set by the water beast of Rhode Island-Basket Boom Boom. As always good grog and grub on a truly memorable day-Good job you bastard! On-On
