Flatlanders, For those of you who weren't even there, realize that those DH3 and BH3 wankers are taking over your hash. Also, here's a recap of our epic 50th trail. The pack gathered at hash time, but, alas, the hares were not among them, for in the week between scouting and laying, Flatirons Crossing had exploded with activity, and mall traffic got the better of them. They wasted little time at the start, dropping powder from the chase vehicle as they pulled up, past the hounds, and around the back of Best Buy. Cum Silent bounced his chalky balls through a parking garage where Tim (unnamed) would eventually gain an honorary nod for the Homer J Fong (which could not be awarded, as it hasn't been in attendance since its last awardee was in attendance... *cough*) by sweet-talking a mallcop. A CB over one side of the structure was sniffed out by the original CB-hound, Cummy, and a TT arrow directed the pack off the top floor of the garage, through midair to a fire hydrant up a hill on the back side, where they found the scent once more - yes, Deep's scent. The route directed them to the west, angling across snow-shiggy, skirting construction, and eventually depositing them in parking garage number two. The ruthless hares delayed the pack at this point with a most unusual take on the standard CB-map combo, with the map pasted directly through the floor, underneath the designated powder. Pukahontas stumbled upon this, and the hounds made the best of an inaccurate set of instructions, some riding the Zip, some following the Zip path the wrong way, and some embarking upon a roundabout tour of Superior in the name of shortcutting (yeah, that'd be Hood, from what I heard). Eventually trail was found near Zip stop #10, in front of Red Robins, and a number of TT arrows directed the hounds through a throng of shoppers in the outside promenade before turning abruptly north across the parking lot and ducking into the subdivision there. A maze of trails, rife with DPs and TOPs, eventually brought the pack to the top of a long shiggified slope, where they were observed by the hares, who were holed up in a harehole they labelled the finish. 15 minutes, 2 CBs and a few precious moments of unconcealed mocking, and the trio of FRBs - Hood, Chacockua and Little Head - finally reached the conclusion of trail. The rest of the pack managed to close during this time, and it was not long before they joined us. A quick shuttle, and the hash retired to Hash House II in nearby Lac Amora for down-downs. Many, many songs were sung, and a healthy amount of ale, both beery and ginger, was put away. We outsang a songmeister, fucked all the women, drank all the beer and puked in someone's car, at least that's how I remember it. We ran up and down the alleyways by night, we knew the hares by sight, we ran from far to near, then passed another beer. When everyone was good and hammered, down-downs were concluded and the Mongolloid table was broken out for pong-based drinking games. Despite a worthy attempt at suppressing a lingering cold and croupy cough with hours of yelling/singing and beer after beer, Deep's faltering health got the best of him, so this account ends here. Next hash: this Saturday (1/19) at 2pm at Hash House III in Westminster. Pickup format. Join us. On-on, Deep
