The hash was in freezing Smithfield starting from Box Seat's with Bondo the hare. Hashers gathered included Async, Dr WHO Slasher, Shine On, Basket, WIPOS, PW, Cumonya, Just John and yours truly the scribe Oozing. The hare sent us off promptly at 630 behind the restaurant towards now familiar territory around Stump pond.

 The first check took us south around the pond. Some of us ventured onto the frozen pond but soon had to head back. The trail soon came to a wet crossing which after a few double thoughts we all crossed cursing the hare as the temp was rapidly dropping with yours truly in lead and relishing the prospect of freezing feet again! 

Onto another check that now took us away from the pond and back towards the road (104/5), and now trail was set in white toilet paper which stood out really well against the white snow! Needless to say once across the road trail was soon lost, giving everyone opportunity to catch up including  those who set off across the pond. Bondo and Shine On  were mysteriously missing and the pack concluded that Bondo didn't want to be the only one not to have slept with Shine On, exc. me of course and I don't know why I haven't, call me gay!  Finally, Cumonya who had stopped for a pee and was looking around for something to wipe herself with found...toilet paper! and the pack soon was back on trail that led us around the woods on the opposite side of the road and back onto the road and back to the pond! 

  A "B" was spotted that meant but one thing to these half-minds and soon delightful squeals were heard from the middle of the pond, Bondo in his infinite wisdom had lit a fire in the middle of the pond! Some may say he is emulating his idol again (Hemingway), and is looking to kill himself and the whole pack with him! Shine On was topless and what seemed like dancing around the fire as in a war dance, although I think she was running and gathering her clothes after doing it with Bondo! Now although the lake was frozen, yet around it it was not and despite the plank that Bondo had put down for a bridge, people were soon in water, but the smell of beer lured us on and into the middle! So it was out in the middle of a frozen lake with a bonfire that the wise-Rhody hash had their beer check and sang many ditties, with PW reconfirming why he stays away and using a newborn as an excuse! Bondo took off early and took the plank away too not that it made much of a difference! 

With beer consumed we headed back to the bank once again enduring wet and cold water and back towards the bar for the circle-up in the woods with another fire burning. With the hare in the circle, many comments including too short, too dry and too little toilet paper meaning that Bondo is not after all constipated!  Down downs also to returnee (PW), hashit (WIPOS), and to Cumonya for her last run with the best hash in the world-she is cute and will be sorely missed! (Yes, Bondo, you're cute too!). The pack warmed their feet to the fire and soon smelt burning rubber as Oozing's feet had been anaesthetized by the freezing water couldn't feel the fire!  ONON at Box Seat's with good food and Guinness/Bass would we accept anything less? A good time had by all....

ONON.
