PHHH #1113.9 Date: Sunday, September 24, 2006 Place: Urban Lawrenceville Weather: Urbane Time: Less than an hour Hare: Hey YO! Paully Hounds: Pyroman, Speedbumps, Oliver the Wonder Bra, Wipy, Delicate Psyche, Ksilent Knight, Bjorn Dork, Caligulate, Keyless Entry, Warren Baelen Descriptions, Polemics, and Lies Bring Me the Head of the American Girl Every now and then, more then than now, Paully and the forces of nature precipitate a decent, even sparkling set. This one, somewhat improbably, was one of them. The much-touted pre-hash softball game on some of L'ville finest greensward devolved to wiffle ball, which in turn devolved into whipping ball, where Caligulate tested his velocity on the bodies of sundry wankers too dim to notice that the hash should have started ten minutes earlier. After considerable misdirection at the start, many thinking this was really a mock-Pyro hood hash, we clambered, mostly unnecessarily, through some woodland, only forgotten because of the carcinogenic industrial waste suppurating through the odd woodchuck carcass, out to Whitehead Road, dipped over the canal and under Rt. 1. More pleasant shaded trails, wondering when we'd cross the canal, until, yes, we reached the legendary Roman aquaduct. You'd think the hash was full of Madison Ave. prisses the way the pack shivered and moaned. "It might be too deep!" "It might be too cold!" "I might wet my pants!" Fortunately birthday boy plus one Wepiy sucked it up and picked the right tunnel under the canal to get to the other side, where, after some shiggy traversing, he found a doll's head. Not no chintzy, two-bit, Chinese-made, shrunken doll's head with bee-sting lips and big hair; no, this was a once-posh, 8-bit, Chinese-made, nearly scale doll's head with WASPy lips and long blond hair that would have benefited from a sympathetic brush-out. Instead Ouipee dangled it just behind Keyless Entry's left ear. "Look, Molly, a human head." It's gotta be the shoes, even though they stayed on the ground while the queen of Lake Carnegie broke three more ribs showing she's got ups. Some time later, after suspending the face on the wasteland floor to a dangling rope for the local children's sunset entertainment, the pack splashed its way up to the bottom of Baker's Basin. Not the bottom bottom, you moron, but the dammed-up portion, which hadn't been traversed by the PHHH for some years. We concluded in a scenic grove decorated with creeping 3-leaved ivy before relocating to the spacious asphalt prairie behind the Brunswick Lanes, where Paully offered a number of comestibles, of which I remember beer and cashews. There was other stuff, which was pretty good and suggests that Juicy has just about emptied the cupboards and refrigerator bins of various comestibles carried from Moran Street and East Windsor.
