PHHH #1095.9

Date: Sunday, May 28, 2006

Place: Princeton Battlefield

Weather: Desultory

Time: 75 minutes?

Hare: Hey YO! Paully

Hounds: "Suicide Watch, Piece of Flesh, Ouipee, Delicate Psyche, Itemized Seduction"

Beaten Off the Path

When you're a hare renowned for inscrutable sets and driven to volunteer the morning of the big family 
cookbook, whatcha gonna do? 
Why, go over the same territory used more often than the NJ Turnpike, only go the extra mile to stay 
and mark away from any of those tiresome manmade trails.

So, after crossing the Pike and the Battlefield, it was walk 'n' crawl through shiggy and trails tamped 
down by deer and tics.  The only running came after Ouipee actually found a Wachspress Double Cross just 
off the border of a field that Suicide Watch was circumambulating in an effort to break the 5-minute mile.  
Coming after her morning 20-miler and having declined the OJ offered at 87 Prospect, this was a Bad Idea, 
and, complaining of clammy skin, thready pulse and lethargy, she exeunted stage north.

The rest of us poor wankers crisscrossed the Stony Creek, one of which  came too late to relieve Itemized 
Seduction and Delicate Psyche of the edemic swelling associated with urticaria.  Showing all the signs of 
a responsible father of a bubble boy, Paully made sure we stayed out of the sun and didn't raise our 
heartrate or VO2 intake for the next 30 minutes.  During our rare forays into bright sunshine, we saw a 
tan hawk, a golfer make par, and Weepee chased a red fox.

All signs pointed to the Canal and Province Line Road, but by decoding Paully's belaboring of the non-obvious, 
Wweeppee was first to panther piss and mysterious leftovers in what wasn't a grove below the towpath, but 
which was enclosed by poison ivy and frogs.

During the effort to generate small talk while lightening the load in the cooler, we found out that Piece of 
Flesh's cricket team lost to Sarnoff's, that Itemized Seduction may be bringing a hasher from Colorado, the 
ungooglable Antarctic Anal Rapist, to the Hash (who should certainly raise the tone of this hapless crew), 
and that Delicate Psyche could get a job clearing communities and gardens of poison ivy by eating it.

Next week: Delicate Psyche sets the Reunion Hash--we should meet from
87 Prospect at 11 am.  If Hand Solo hasn't taken off for Tokyo to replace RCA's dead man in Japan, maybe he 
can post that on the website?

Wednesday, June 7, 6 pm: Piece of Flesh sets up his second set!

Wednesday, June 14: Volunteer--this means you, Suicide Watch!

Wednesday, June 21: Paully sets his premature solstice set?

Wednesday, June 28: Geezer sets the solstice, just because he's Geezer?
