Flatlanders, For those of you who weren't even there, consider yourselves fortunate. Friday night's festivities featured the coupling of the Flatlanders' most notorious hare, Dr D, with the infamous Double D of the Denver/Other Boulder hash. It was ugly. When Dr D is convinced to make a trail LONGER, there is trouble afoot. The pack gathered at the IM fields on the Mines campus in Golden. The hares were actually early, hash time, and Deep deciphered for the group an elaborate and overly complete set of hieroglyphics scrawled out before his arrival by some helpful hound. As he finished discussing the 9th and final type of DP (Check), time was sounded, and the pack of nearly 3 dozen Flatlander and DHHH/BHHH/P2H4 wankers began their stampede toward the quarry nearby. Now I mentioned the symbol set because before long, and despite the plethora of marks available, the pack encountered two marks which fit no known category. One seemed like some sort of "Y", the other an infinity sign. Guessing the first was a DP, Deep and Blowsis decided to be on the safe side, clearing the second "Sack Check" with dexterous twists of their muscular wrists. Meanwhile, the FRBs had managed to throw off the rest of the pack in some deep shiggy, and escaped only to be foiled by an untimely YBF. When Blowsis and Deep caught up, they climbed to a vantage point and mocked the pack scurrying about in confusion. When the hounds set off on some new scent, which we later learned was an "on-two" followed by 100 meters of nothing then true trail, they elected to "short"-cut past the YBF. There they spied Cum Silent and Nuts, returning from their own SC, so they joined their meager forces and returned to the scene of Dr D's last debacle: the detention facility and the famous tower beyond. Skirting the facility on the west side, they eventually came across trail, and all over themselves. Deep spent a goodly amount of time dislodging an inch-long woodie from the soul of his shoe, then limped to the Loaf 'N' Jug. The next few miles were mainly DP-less and shiggerific, as the trail retraced almost the exact route from BFHHH #27. Instead of finishing at the finish of BFHHH #27, however, the trail taunted us with a one-can beer check, then continued on for several more miles, making scenic stops partway up Lookout Mtn, then back at the start, before reaching its sorry end at Double D's place in town. This trail made Shit and Chacockua's seem like pub crawl, and that's nothing to be proud of. Thankfully, Dr D has joined a clinic and will hare next with Deep as part of his rehabilitation. We leave Double D in the capable hands of Ultra Wimp. After hours spent on trail, down-downs were particularly raucous. The Flatlanders enforced a Flatlander format, and though a few less hardy souls retired to sup on white rice and beet juice, those who remained plowed through the better part of six cases of fine American lager and sang at least token verses to nearly 50 songs. It was fairly epic. The shitstud went to the hares, to be chaperoned by Dr D, while the Norman Pace may have gone to Shit, if my Meister-Brau-addled brain serves me. There were no namings, thankfully. On-afters continued on, though the identity of those involved will be reserved for their own protection. Next hash is the Camping Hash the weekend after next. Get up there Friday night to shoot the shit and drink. The planned hash will be Saturday morning at 11am, and there will likely be a pickup hash in Fraser on Sunday morning for those interested. On-on, Deep
