Wankers,

For those of you who couldn't be troubled to show up on a warm, sunny
day in January, here's a recap.

Cum Silent, Freudian, Pukahontas, Chacockqua, Two Holes, Four Stroke,
Deep and eventually Hood gathered at Hash House III in Westminster on
what has already been alleged to have been a warm, sunny day in
January.  Flour was colored and straws drawn, with the hare going to Mr
Holes and the Shit to Pukie.  Holes heeded some sage advice and spent
his 5 minutes leading the trail out of the neighborhood and into open
space, where he toyed with a playground, circled a school and was nabbed
just before a cunning TOP into deep shiggy, thankfully.  Chacockqua took
the bag and led the pack on one of his characteristically chickenshit
romps through the King Soopers nearby, across into a neighborhood, back
across a field, back across his own trail without the appropriate
markings, then more or less straight for several miles, until Cum
Silent's capable shortcutting put a merciful end to it.  The first bag
was soon retired, and the FRBs were forced to endure a significant wait
while Pukie ambled slowly to the front with the Shit.  Cum Silent took a
two minute jump and hid in the bushes nearby, planning to ambush Deep
with a forced esprit-de-hares later on, but his forward thinking did not
deter Deep and Holes from making a fine shortcut to a park nearby. 
Sadly, the pristine and perfect hash terrain was not exploited, and
Pukie ended up finishing trail while Deep and Holes completed their
scenic tour.

Down-downs ensued, as they are want to.  The award was present, and
presented to Hood, who took the drink-off which resulted from a
suspiciously deadlocked vote.  Pukie was educated on the misuse of
packing tape as a contraceptive, while Four Stroke and Deep suffered
frostbite as a result of over-iced beverage.  Many songs were sung, and
ales consumed, as is typical in such situations.  On-afters proceeded at
Hash House III with more beer, pizza and a glorious pummelling of the
Bears, archived on videotape for posterity.

In case you missed this one, the next hash will be a pickup hash as
well, Saturday 2/9, 2pm, at Holes' place in Louisville.  More info soon.

On-on,
Deep
