Hashers, For those of you who may have missed out on Friday evening's festivities in Longmont, here's a recap. Now would be a good time to reply to this message that you want to be taken off this list, if you wish to be spared the ensuing verbosity. We gathered in Longmont on Friday evening, sometime between ultimate time and MDT, and in two different locations. After Lottie (unnamed) managed to round up three clueless males who'd peeled off from the herd, we donned skirts, dresses and makeup and took off after two trailer park grandmother types who were dropping flour everywhere. Cum Silent sniffed out some trickery right off the bat, and Bush Router confirmed his olfactory suspicions, saving the pack (minus Two Holes) a devilish countback. We then managed to dodge insult-flinging 8 yr olds, concerned police officers, a playground full of whistleblowers and a series of alleged clues taped to street lamps to locate a beer check inserted relatively early in the trail. By this point, the feisty grandmothers had transformed themselves into ... well it was hard to tell, but they'd worked some McDonald-esque techniques into their trail-laying. Margaritas chugged and beers drained, we waited patiently by the mosquito-infested stream bank behind an autobody shop for what seemed like several hours while the hares once again took a head start. And once again, we set off in hot pursuit, snaking around (but not in!) a liqour store to a vicious triple decision point which split the pack in three. This is when the real fun began. Bush Router led a glorious pack effort, sniffing out hare droppings with amazing efficiency and leading those who would follow him inexorably toward the finish and the beer presumably cached there. Unfortunately, not very many hounds would follow him, and despite Cum Silent's, Mt. Hood's and Deep's efforts to call them through the alleyways, the pack continued to diffuse. At this point Cum Silent and Deep discovered and verified a light post clue, which guided us around and up and over to a long straightaway. (Sidebar - Deep in the End actually experienced clearing DPs for a few hundred yards of this trail, marking a departure from his usual strategy of walking slowly off trail, only to locate the DD's by pure chance 30 minutes minimum after the rest of the pack arrives. He is shocked and embarrassed by his activities as DP clearer and has pledged not to let it happen again.) Sacrificing Mt. Hood and Bush Router to bad trails, Cum Silent led Deep past a bad trail to where some hare had dumped the rest of her droppings, and they continued past, turning a corner and bolting for a lush riparian area across a field. As Cum Silent and Deep happened upon an unmanned finish with no beer, Mt. Hood loped up to the beerless finish, and the rest of the howling pack filtered across from the direction of true trail toward the finish which had no coolers of beer laid out for us. It was at this point when the lingerie-clad hares, having transformed once more, staggered across with buckets of precious refreshment, and we imbibed, and it was good. Unfortunately, the plan to have DD's at the finish was blown out of the water once again as a storm blew up, and Freudian's camisole was blown from her chest, leaving her tits to flail around in the breeze. Around this time, we realized that Piggy had jumped off trail and hadn't arrived at the finish, nor had he been seen for some time. Since we're a caring, sensitive hash and it was well after dark in the slums of Longmont, we cruised the streets near the trail for him. Realize search and rescue is neither typical behavior nor behavior endorsed by the hash mismanagement. Nevertheless, we scoured the place for him, and after Joel's (unnamed) call of "The Eagle Has Landed", we reconvened at Bush Router's house and celebrated in his backyard (the hash, not Piggy's recovery). We sang and drank and learned a little Swedish, which put us in the right mood for some namings. There were a record four of them Friday evening, so please take note. The famous hashing dog Ratchet (unnamed) will henceforth be called "Sir Humpsalot". The hasher formerly known as Steve (unnamed) has taken on the moniker "Bush Router". The lush we used to speak of as Jason (unnamed) has taken the appelation "Piggy Dongsucking". And the halfmind fondly remembered as Brad (unnamed) shall be referred to as "Two Holes and a Heartbeat". Congratulations on your namings. Halfminds in attendance: Cummy Pinko (hare) Freudian Slut (hare) Deep in the End Cum Silent Cum Deep Mt. Hood Bush Router Cock Gobbler Two Holes and a Heartbeat Puss in Boots Piggy Dongsucking Joel (unnamed) Lottie (unnamed) The next hash event will take place Friday evening, June 9 at 6:30pm. The hares will be Mt. Hood and Heather (unnamed). I'll get you an update on the starting location. The June 23 hash has been claimed by Bush Router and Cum Silent, and the July 7 will likely feature Deep and Joel (unnamed). If you'd like to hare this summer, there are still plenty of open dates, so let me know. On-on, Deep
