Hash Trash #1550

Hares:
Eight Inch Crack, Steps in Shit, Pull the Plug
Date: Jan 20, 2008
Location: Pasadena, TX

The aforementioned virgin hares, for inexplicable reasons, decided to lay a trail and for inexplicable reasons forty hashers showed up. The virgins went partners with Pull the Plug to lay the trail in the newly suburbanized part of Pasadena, the part where subdivisions are gradually replacing the horse pastures and light industry. The RA had arranged clear weather but as the wind picked up, it got chilly. Then it got cold. Then it got colder, especially the part of the trail which was knee deep in the previous day's rain.

There really wasn't any way to run the trail with dry feet, not even if you bypassed the beer check or the stretch of swamp which followed it. Hooter Bill was spotted setting down an unopened can of beer after the beer check, rather like a squirrel caching acorns for winter.

Pull the Plug was concerned that a train was sitting on the railroad tracks along Old Galveston Road, where the hares had scouted trail. At the chalk talk, he warned the runners to go behind the train rather than in front but by the time we got to the tracks the train had dropped off so many cars it was down to the size of a Metro commuter train.

You couldn't really fault the hares for much on this trail, so we seized on the fact that the Beer Near mark was NOT near. The trail was about the right length and though Blue Balls and Hooter Bill competed fiercely to be DFL, in the very end Geek and Lorna Doones came walking in just as the sky was turning dark, accusations were going from lame to WTF and hashers were leaving for fear of frostbite.

Yours,
Silent Dick
