Hashers, Here's a recap of the 10th annual/monthly/biweekly Flatlander event for those of you who weren't even there, which is most of you. Plan an extra hour of down downs next hash for all the returners. We gathered at the scenic carp pond on the CU campus, roughly on time, which is to say that we were able to get the hares under way well before 7pm, nearly a record and the only sort of time issue I'd concern myself with. Deep in the End and Cum Silent, Cum Deep bolted across the carp pond bridge and into campus, where they laid a dastardly DP, the sort with a sneaky 45 degree across grass. All reports from the pack suggest that they were stymied by this harebrained trickery, but managed to overcome it in time by sheer force of numbers. The trail led them behind the rec center and along and over the brink of the bluff supporting the campus over Boulder Creek. Robert/Kevin (unnamed) sprouted wheels and nearly careened into the pack, which scattered like lemmings, at the bottom of the slope. Judging from the pack arrows discovered by the hares upon trail review the next day, the pack decided to mark the TT bad and the BT good, but they found their way across the creek and into CU grad student housing all the same. They had little trouble locating the map concealed inside a box in the wall on the second level of pauper housing and appreciated a random act of kindness in the form of a small bottle of water. We'll try not to let that happen again. I heard little from the pack about the next section, though apparently Toukan (unnamed) enjoyed a CB 1 in the first parking garage, which much of the pack skipped. I would also suppose that the FRBs, led by OD (unnamed), enjoyed the 3 blocks of Pearl Street Mall which they had to run twice on a countback. The hares enjoyed the sight, anyhow, as they sat in the window of Ben and Jerry's and watched the barking, whimpering hounds turn heel and skitter off. Cummy Pinko managed to avoid most of the CB, and indeed skipped parking garage #2, favoring a stiff drink and some cosmic bathroom poetry in the bus station below. Reports suggest that she managed to dodge all CB's but 1, though she had trouble tracing a YBF with 20 powders spaced 10 feet apart back to its source. The trail led the pack toward Boulder High, then sharply north through Central Park, across Boulder Creek again and straight across Broadway to the Senior Citizen highrise on Arapahoe, where a nice elderly woman who Deep had befriended on the way through directed Toukan (unnamed) and Swedish Eatballs into the passcard-secured building. They searched for maps amongst notices of bingo and advertisements for a screening of Gunga Din, then exited the building and wandered across the parking lot to Schweeb's (unnamed) balcony beer check. Schweeb (unnamed) provided food as the hares set off to lay the rest of the trail, which they did in good form, around the scenic Boulder Library, west along Canyon, and across into a nice neighborhood around Pearl and the single digit cross streets. This is where the pack encountered the highlight of the trail, and perhaps of Deep's young haring career: a ten-pound DP formed from an entire traffic circle. OD (unnamed) made a mess of the thing, and Cummy Pinko left a scolding note, but the hounds pressed on, puzzling out a CB -1, and curving around and up into the Red Rocks section of Boulder Mountain Parks, where the hares had mercifully ended the trail in a small glen behind the rocks themselves. Freudian Slut graciously cleared a boob check next to the finish (an act she would reenact for the pack during down downs... she is not one to slight her fellow halfminds). Down-downs went quite well, with a complex web of sponsoring for the four virgins in attendance. Cummy Pinko delivered the guest sermon she had found as cosmic poetry in the bus station. We were also graced with the return of the award by Dr. Dripdick, which was passed on to Eatballs for some studly or shitty act. It was also good to meet "Squbed" (Squishy Squirmy Squirt?), who Zola Budded the second half of trail, in socks. Puss in Boots, as always, was prominent featured in the ceremonies. Next hash will be hared by Cheese 'n' Whackaroni and Swedish Eatballs, July 21. Check out BFHHH at www.egroups.com, and set your member name if you have one. On-on, Deep
