Flatlander wankers, Winter pickup hashes are always tenuous things, because it takes so much coaxing, begging and pleading to gain critical mass. Fortunately, critical mass is about 5, and we managed to accumulate 6 randy hounds by hash time (shifted 30 minutes from real time). The non-walking veteran Flatlander hares drew straws. Deep got the first hare, while Freudian drew the shit. Pukie got nothing. Cum Silent walked with wee Cum Slut and Pyro and Spitz.cum rounded out the pack. Bird Man stopped by for a visit but didn't stay. Deep took off from Settler's park, tucked underneath the south side of Red Rocks at the mouth of Boulder Canyon, and headed uncharacteristically uphill. Some say it was a momentary lapse of reason brought on by the lack of alcohol in his system, others that he's just a total farkin' bastard, but whatever you say about Deep, the fact remains that his trail wound its way up to a saddle behind Red Rocks, then down the far side with a sneaky TT arrow. A ditch and trail system alternately guided the path down to Mapleton, where it turned abruptly eastward into the Mapleton slums. Surprised that the pack wasn't nipping at his hairy heels and wondering where Cum Silent and Cum Slut were, Deep slowed down a bit and laid some nice long meandering bad trails through alleys and ditches. Turn on powders were frequent, and the terrain pleasant, as his powder finally expired at about 4th and Spruce, conveniently at a mini-park with a bench. The shit eventually showed up to resupply Deep for the return trip, and he set off once more. Not 300 meters from the resupply point, Deep encountered the Cum duo, and taunted Cum Silent by scribing a DP in the path of Cum Slut's carriage, just out of reach. Though Cum Silent considered taking his chances with Child Welfare, he stayed with his charge and Deep shuffled off into an alley. His bad trails were ambitious, and the pack soon sighted him. A quick adjustment to a formerly bad trail sprung Deep across Canyon, but Pyro closed and eventually nabbed him on a bike path nearby. Pyro led the pack back to 9th, then to the south side of Boulder Creek, then back up to Eben G Fine park, where the pack ditched him in favor of beer at the start. Pyro eventually wandered in, DFL. The pack retired to Hash House I, in the typical winter fashion, and commenced a rowdy set of down-downs (for 6 hashers). Ales were consumed and songs sung. As soon as Pyro and Spitz took off, Blowsis and the Beav showed up to assist with on-afters. Next hash will be hared by Shit and Chacockqua on Sat 12/28 at 2pm. On-on, Deep
