PHHH #1022.9 Date: Sunday, January 9, 2005 Place: Waldorf School to Airport Pond Weather: Raw Time: 60 minutes Hare: Count von Count Hounds: Geezer, Hand Solo, Hey YO! Paully, qUieepj, Homoerotic Tick Checking, Delicate Psyche, Caroline the church lady and future religious advisor, Sarah Moore Virgin: Justin Timberlake Description, Polemics, and Lies Count von Count picked up where he left off on 1011.9, and this time he ran the interference with landowners while setting, sparing us yet another encounter between the farmboy naif, Delicate Psyche, and the pitiless property holders of Hopewell and Montgomery. Ageing halfminds Solo, Geezer, and Whipy showed they still had a half a wit more than the students, who promptly crossed Bedens Brook at the first directed opportunity, leaving the grizzled gentry to scale some commanding brownstone heights and enjoy the view. Solo, suffering from a sudden flashback of tick-borne Human Ehrlichiosis, insisted there was a bridge spanning the mighty flood, "not far at all, just around the bend." Geezer and Huypuy did what was necessary for the gibbering, bright-eyed Englishman and slapped him in the general direction of the students, who had now recrossed the Brook, sans bridge. Said bridge appeared several bends later and the pack followed trail right through several backyards to a highly un-Count like straightaway on a road that Geezer correctly intuited was Old Possum's by stealing a resident's Social Security check from a mailbox. "It's cat food for January," growled the grandmaster, Sarah, Caroline, and Delicate Psyche quailing before the purpling scowl of a tenured professor tucking granny's lifeline in his key pocket. "What are you all looking at, is the university so flush that you've never fried up a mess of catfood fritters mixed with mashed potato flakes on the hot plate? By god, things were different in the Cenozoic. . . " Another traipse on 518 and a delightful bit of groveling tghrough the wetlands toward the airport, whose windsock proudly waved, guiding the Colombian coke runners in for the week's deliveries to Ivy, Cottage, Charter, and Tower. Those students who followed Geezer avoided unnecessary swamp and got to the NINO first, right by the pond where: Amelia Earhart (http://web.archive.org/web/20030408154901/foia.fbi.gov/earhart/earhart1.pdf), Judge Crater (http://sgdlaw.lawoffice.com/art_crater.htm), Ambrose Bierce (http://www.alcyone.com/max/lit/devils/), and the six Trenton-built Avenger TDBs of the Bermuda Triangle (http://www.bermuda-triangle.org/html/flight_19.html) emerge when the full moon rises. The crowd barely mustered the energy for a virgin down-down for Justin, and on the way back HTC flashed on the cedars, got all excited about his proximity to the cemetery of the shaky people, and had to be put down.
