PHHH #1008.9 Date: Sunday, September 26, 2004 Weather: Lawrentian Location: Lawrenceville to Rosedale Park Time: 1:40 Hare: Hey YO! Paully Hounds: Homorerotic Tick Checking, Ouipee Virgins and Rookies: Forrest the Double E grad student, Thuy Descriptions, Polemics, and Lies This marked Paully's fifth hash of the year and it showed. Cheap and nasty, like bad taste in plumbing supplies, never goes down well, and it was clear from the start where no one even noticed the lengthy false down to 206 that the hare was hoping that enough suckers would show to keep him from having to pay hash cash for the rest of the year. So we got big sloppy marks, cutting off the last remains of the season's equinoctial photosynthesis from hapless blades of grass and leaves of ivy. Pointless circular trails in ample suburban parks, leavened only the sight of Dr. Herschel Burstyn and his nuclear family, teaching the little one a future trade as bike messenger. Pointless shiggy and beerless harechecks that any half-mind could have dodged; but with two rookies in tow, our half-minds averaged down somewhere under an eighth, given that we're talking about Weepee and another of PU's intrepid sophomore dorks. Still, it was a good thing that even Weepee gave up on the prospect of visiting 18 Stonehill for the on-in, that Forrest proved as energetically mindless as HTC, and eventually the pack staggered around and round the abandoned sharecropper housing in benighted Rosedale Park to find on-in leftovers almost as bad as two weeks earlier. The on-in revealed that southern Ohio thinks Princeton and the rest of the tony suburbs of the Northeast corridor are as multicultural if not gender-demented as any Benetton billboard; that Twee sings, figuratively speaking, that is; and that she never met Richard Pashtun while working at the CDC in Atlanta, where she also hashed. Will we ever see their like again? Does a deer sit in the woods?
