Hashers,

Here's a recap of this past Friday's festivities.

We gathered near the Basemar Cinema Savers in Boulder.  Once again, we
were few in number but many in spirit, and it was not long before the
hares, Mt Hood and Nuts in the Crack, dropped powder and bolted.  A
timely start put the pack in a feisty mood, and several decided that a
small pack wasn't going to keep them from shortcutting.  So after a few
hundred meters of trail in the general direction of Baseline and US36,
Deep turned to Cum Silent and said, "You want we should run down
Morehead?".  Cum Silent snickered and replied, "Heh.  More Head.  Heh." 
And with that, the duo, with Adam (unnamed) in tow and not knowing
exactly what he was in for, turned down the wrong side of US36 toward
the SE, while Cummy disappeared out of sight along TT down Baseline. 
The SCBs followed Morehead for a good ways, hoping to sniff powder at
the bike path underpass under US36.  They arrived, and were just
starting to lament the lack of hare droppings when Mt Hood came dashing
out of the underpass.  Cum Silent and Adam (unnamed) dropped to their
knees, a fairly common occurance really, and beckoned at the lumbering
Deep, who was just turning the corner.  Deep bellowed, "Hare Si...",
then dropped, though it was clear that the hapless hare had seen his
predators and resigned himself to snaring at the hands of Cum Silent.  A
quick glance over his shoulder indicated that his co was nearby, and
Deep pounced on Nuts as he blundered into the gathering.  Nuts began to
cry, softly and tenderly, but the hares continued on.  The trio of SCBs
were so full of themselves at this point that they didn't bother to
watch trail as it exited the killing floor, and therefore were shocked
and confused when a good 5 minutes later Hood jumped across a stream and
bolted down the bikepath, no more than 50 meters away.  When they
started up again, the SCBs were at first confused by a lack of powder,
then correctly surmised that a map must be hidden up inside a dark storm
drain.  Elated that they had found a hare powder stash, they
inadvertantly dumped the flashlight that had been sitting on top of the
bag into some mirky water, from which it has yet to be recovered. 
Without light, they were unable to crawl the necessary distance up into
the drain, and so relied on their instincts once again, which proved to
be a mistake.  They picked up powder again up on the street while the
hares were close by, hiding behind a dumpster.  This proved to be the
return of a map loop, though the hares had laid it so close that it
seemed like the outlet, despite being obviously backlaid.  Still, the
trio of SCBs, after wasting much time, managed to follow the map loop
backwards, and rejoined the rest of the pack on TT some distance down
the bike path.  Rumors suggest that the first section of TT was marred
by a miscounted CB, and that the pack was discouraged by the early times
marked on the snares.  They needed not have been concerned, however, as
the map loop snafu killed whatever headway the SCBs had made, and the
pack proceeded to trudge through Martin Acres over uneventful trail to a
Beer Check, the first in a good while.  Beer Checks late in trail tend
to bring out the Flatlander in this hash, and a pleasant walk down
across Table Mesa, around the parking lot behind McDonalds, through some
condos to Tantra, then east into an undeveloped area led to the finish,
where there was beer waiting for a change.  The pack elected to retire
to Hash House I for down-downs after the shuttle, as some of the wankers
were feeling a bit chilly.

Down-downs ensued.  Blowsis, already hammered from completing something
he called his "orals" earlier in the day, won the award after a one-man
drinkoff to the chant "Two Beers Enter, No Beers Leave".  Natural Light
was sighted at a BFHHH event for the first time, and it marks a low
point in our brief history.  There were no namings to note, but there
were many many and out of tune songs sung, and ales/rice beers
consumed.  There were no group On-Afters.

Next hash is Friday 4/20 6pm.  It will be a Pickup hash.  I haven't
picked a start yet, so suggestions are welcome.  After that, the next
three trails are spoken for, through the end of May.  Check out

On-on,
Deep
