PHHH #1084.9 Date: March 12, 2006 Time: 1 hour plus time to shop at Indian Food Mart. Venue: Hamilton Train station to points north, a little east, south, then back west to same. Hares: virgin setter Claire (named today) and virgin setter Caroline (yet unnamed) Weather: Perfect Virgin Weather - Warm and Wet Hounds: 1 virgin (Cbelow), Bjorn Dork, Deli-Cut Sike, Weepee, Hey Yo Paully, Ksilent Knight Shamallamadingdong, Little Blue Butt, Oliver the Wunderbra, Speed Bumps, Pyro Man, Hand Solo Virgin: Suzanne (or Susan pronounced Suzanne) from Ohio, a couple counties from where Deli-Cut Sike hails (he even knows the guy that sold her her car!). It was a sucker set with multiple lolipops (virtually endless loops returning you back to the loop beginning but the real trail was back the other way. I give these young hares credit for trying to fool (but they didn't). O.K. We're all on trail (shhhh....listen to the peeping frogs - tiptoe tiptoe) to the tracks and then we have a shit load of marks with a Waxpress double-crossed arrow in between. Everyone bit on the arrow (which was true of course) but HYP figured, why would they bother with the WD-CA? So he crossed the tracks and found the On-In trail, with another arrow, pointing the other way. If geezer was there he would have left. bumps, blue butt, and pyro were there - they went Indian food shopping. The pack trudged forth, not wanting to crush the delicate flour (Caroline was running behind the pack to keep us together and started crying, the pack's perseverence to continue ignoring HYP's discovery put a spark back into her stride). Into woods and across stream on beaver-built bridges. Eventually to Basin Road and the Solar- Powered EVP (RCA spinoff {what isn't}). Another lolipop trail was found and we were told by the property owner to go back or bet bitten by his pitbull. I asked if the bull was leashed and ensued to chastize the owner for being so negligent, then he told me I was on his property. We went back - but I could have taken him and his damn dogs! Into woods again, hey there's 295 up there, let's run on that and look at marks below - much quicker...and I'm sure we won't be up there long enough for the cops to see us or anything. "Hey You, get up here!" How did that cop know my name? Anyway, he stood on a step stool to talk to Weepee and he saw the girls down in the pit and accepted our story, which is surprising because it would seem that the only thing he could see were his shoes the way he had his cap tilted. He just didn't want us on "his" highway. On-On! Thank goodness he didn't first question me, I would have tilted my hat and given him an earful - I could have taken him, and his juiced up cop car, and his walky talky. After the cops were through with us, we continued back down the tracks to the HYP-discovered marks again and to the cars. Koodoes to Ksielent Knight who purchased the Yingling - but shame on him for not splurging another 1.69 for a bag of ice. Virgin Susan was sung to but she dumped the juice BEHIND her head, juiceabuice! The hares were sung to and they graciously went down down on two full cups (Claires 80% Yuengling Porter; 20% OJ - this is called a black adder; and Caroline with 100% OJ - this is called juice) Claire had to do another downdown because she received a name. Since she was so scarred from setting (or so she says!). The scars were in patches so she was dubbed Suicide Swatch, or SS for short (don't worry, the Gaspoucho has nothing on her!). Unfortunately, she was not such a good sport with this down down and we saw more juiceabuice. She complained she'd get gas or something. We all told her how to avoid such embarrassing complications. The pack left the On-In in waves, the Hares had to cook or something (they're so domesticated - (reference to 3/5 hash - just like Foster's Beer). Due to odor control problems, the last of the hounds eventually left too.
