Hashers, For those of you who weren't even there, here's a recap of last Friday's festivities. The pack gathered in the King Sooper's parking lot at 100th and Wadsworth Pkwy in their typically timely fashion. Since Cum Silent and Freudian were haring, it was inevitable that Deep and Cummy would be fashionably late with some critical ingredient to the hash's success which the hares communicated only telepathically. So has it been in the past, and so shall it be in the future. Nevertheless, the hares set off before the sun hit the horizon, with the hounds nipping at their heels. The trail led east, then south, where the pack encountered the first CB, a pleasant 6-powder on a bike path near a field. Deep, fed up with a tenth mile of pure trickery, elected to try out a longcut he had been toying with at the start, and convinced Humpsalot to join him on a jaunt back to 100th, then west toward the dikes of Standley Lake (famous lot, if you haven't heard of 'em). While the rest of the pack navigated their way southward in the vicinity of Wadsworth Pkwy, so I'm told, then down to the long greenway/park south of Independence, Deep and Humpsy found the nether end of Independence and turned southward. Cum Silent later confessed his anxiety about Deep and Router's familiarity with the area, as it had been the site of a hound-aborted trail back in February, and both Deep and Router managed to make it out for the day's trail. Deep and his mutt jumped a cul-de-sac into open space, then continued southeast toward the terminus of Dudley Dr and Cum Silent and Freudian's new pad. He suddenly stubbed his toe on an inverted CB 5 and was back in the game. A few moments of milling around and he spied two hares about 600 meters away, happily tossing powder into the air while [content unsuitable for flatlanders]. Sweating profusely and faces glowing, the hares continued along the north side of a creek while Deep attempted to close on them. A few hundred yards away still, Deep was considering his options as the pack suddenly burst out of the neighborhood to the south and on the south side of the creek. This serendipitous reunion sparked some wild gyrations from Deep, which were correctly interpreted as "Go snag the hares, you motherfuckers. They're over there." Hood's half mind turned over these instructions for a while, and after a period of cud-(pud-?)chewing, he bolted eastward, and was rewarded by Cum Silent sprinting directly at him, spraying flour everywhere. Just a few steps into a cul-de-sac adjacent to the open space, Cum Silent proudly dumped, leaving an epic smear. Hood tried to amble off in the wrong direction, but Deep persisted with wild hand gestures, until Hood finally took off after the other hare. He found Freudian happily ambling less than a block from her home, the finish, and promptly snared her. When the rest of the pack caught up, the GM made an executive decision to skip the 10-minute grace period, and we adjourned to Cum Silent's back yard. After much shuttling, emergency trips to the liquor store and dog-wrasslin', down-downs ensued in the garage. Songs were sung and tasty ales consumed. Returners included Bush Router, Puss In Boots and Jizz Whiz. One virgin pissed on Cum Silent's hockey gear (but then again, who hasn't?). There were two namings to note. The Flatlander formerly known as John (unnamed), or Jesus II, is now affectionately referred to as Chacockua, while that instigator Adam (unnamed) will perk his ears at the mention of Hairy Rim. Next hash is a week from Friday, pickup format, compelling start suggestions considered. Barring suggestions, I'll pick a spot by Friday. We still need hares for June 9. On-on, Deep
