Hashers,

For those of you who weren't even there, here's a recap of Saturday's
festivities.

We gathered at the Safeway in Golden, the lowest point in town, on a cool
but at times sunny afternoon.  There were a number of virgins, including
one of the hares, and a good representation of the regulars.  Dr D,
Squishy and Pamela (unnamed) took off on hash time, and laid a trail which
snaked through the neighborhood to the south, using a variety of large
powders and TT arrows.  A long CB led to an extended uphill (the day's
theme, as it turned out), which led past a detention center and out into
an enormous open field, where the hares bought the better part of an hour
by leaving false bad trails in thigh-deep shiggy.  The delays permitted a
burdened Deep to close down Taco Bell and then become the FWB, as he
sniffed out some well hidden powder and

a map UP another HILL toward the Loaf N Jug (a place, not a halfmind) on
the road to Morrison.  Andy (unnamed) and Hood took over the thankless job
of sniffing out DPs and CBs, of which there were very few, as the trail
tended in long and straight fashion toward the finish.  A long downhill,
followed by an even longer uphill north along the foothills, led to a
final muddy slide into a ravine, where the hares were ripped to shreds.

Double time and somewhat abbreviated down downs ensued, as the usual
crooners serenaded the virgins with some of their worst, and ales were
swilled.  There were three namings, as we were finally graced with
Andy (unnamed) and Turtle (unnamed)'s ugly mugs after months of hiatus for
retooling.  Rhonda (unnamed) has been blessed with the appellation
Four Stroke, in honor of some Quad Stroking she enjoyed in college.  
Turtle (unnamed) responds to Tight Spotted Pussy, in honor of a Leopard
Job he did back in '98.  Andy (unnamed) is an incorrigable crack climber,
and was relieved to be saddled with Nuts in the Crack.

The pack dwindled, but On Afters continued at Woody's, where Blowsis, Deep
and Cummy drowned themselves in weak, but large margaritas, and
we toasted Piggy and Amy (unnamed) on their recent engagement.

The pack dwindled even further, but On On Afters continued up Coal Creek 
Canyon in a hot tub so steaming that you could smell roasting meat.

Next hash will be in two weeks, Sat 3/10.  It'll be pickup format, and
I think we'll start at the old Safeway in North Boulder at Broadway and
Alpine.  A couple more Saturdays after that, we'll hit daylight savings
and we can get back to Fridays.  We'll need some hares for 3/24 and
4/7.  If you can't do a Saturday, think about doing an after dark hash
on a Friday night.  Let me know if you're interested.

On-on,
Deep
