Hashers, Here's how it went down this Saturday past, from Deep in the End's skewed perspective. This writeup may have little similarity to the experience of most of the pack who participated. Cummy Pinko and Walk Like An Erection set off in a cloud of farts from the Broomfield Police Station. They flirted with the start in a long loop around to the south, east, and finally north, but the oblivious hounds did not take advantage of the opportunity to view the hares the whole way around, and thus set off following what little powder they could find. Naturally, it did not take more than 7 powders or so to convince Two Holes and Deep that their fates lay along another course, and so they took off northward, screaming "Trail is for chumps!" A short while later, the speedy Turtle passed the duo on a "shortcut" of his own, and the trio, filled with confidence, plied the gentle underbelly of the neighborhood in the vicinity of Broomfield High. Unfortunately, confidence was not the only thing filling Deep, and he limped to a serendipitous portojohn sitting on a sidewalk near an elementary school, clutching his screaming abdomen. Another visit to the facilities of a Methodist church, and Deep was hopelessly without companionship and stranded far from trail on another epic "shortcut". With a lighter load, he was able to move with alacrity toward the intersection of 10th and Main. Had he guessed right, he could have covered the 1/4 mile or so to the finish in the field across Main and waited for the hares to arrive. But he did not guess right. And so he went back to the start and followed trail, laid almost entirely by Dr D in the form of D^3 pack arrows. While the hares coveted their flour and guarded it jealously, Dr D was very giving with his sheetrock, and it is largely to his credit that Deep made it through the several odd miles of contorted trail to the finish. Pack arrows guided him to Main and 120th, then east behind Taco Bell and Home Depot, north past the fields where the GRASS ultimate tourney was played once upon a time, northeast into the middle of subdivision hell, through a school with cute powder marks, and finally to the finish, no more than a 1/2 mile from the start. Beerlust kept his drive going, though when he arrived at the finish he was in bad shape. Emaciated, grumpy, with parched lips, he partook of what was left of down-downs, and soon had his color back. Deep arrived just in time to bridle a gaggle of unruly virgins supplied by that car salesman Mt Hood, and managed to dig deep for a number of untapped hash hymnal classics. All told, the group polished off three (3) cases of excellent brew (some would exclude the French beer from such glowing praise) and two (2) Buds included specifically with *Whp-Chshh* in mind. Songs were sung, virgins were deflowered, and dogs were fought against each other for sport. There were no namings to note, but the Hash Mismanagement distributed snappy hash tags with the new Flatlander logo to those of the pack with the names to wear them - a joyous occasion indeed. If you fit into that category - named and tagless - drag your sorry ass out to the next hash event and claim your prize. ($3 donations accepted for tags - Hood's free virgins are wrecking us.) The next event, to be affectionately called BFHHH #18, will happen Saturday before Halloween (10/28) at 3pm, and will be hared by Cock Gobbler and Bush Router. Costumes are required to participate (hmmm... red dress?). On-on, Deep
