PHHH #1145.9 Date: May 6, 2007 Weather: Sun, Simpson's style clouds, 60ish but warm enough for Dork to lose the shirt (sadly enough) Venue: Plainsburo, ACE Hardware start, Nature Conservatory Finish (well behind the mysterious building across the street finish) Hares:Exploding Feet Hounds: Hey Yo Paully, Warren, Delicate Psyche, Born Dork , Pyro, Speed Bumps, Oliver the Wonder Doggie,Solo, Hare in My Zipper Virgin: DP's beer brewing mate Lisa (she has been seem at on-ins before but decided to actually run this time) Seen at on-in and various other spots: Safe Sweats Time: 1 hour 40 min (I think) Hash: After hanging around the Ace Hardware parking lot swilling down beers and catching suspicious glances from the respectable people we decided it was time to get running before the manager of the franchise decided to grab his hedge trimmers and chase us off. Initially we tripped onto the rail road tracks and HIMZ decided these rubber pieces pilled up next to the tracks would make a great frisbee/throwing star. After flinging a fair numbers of these at scattering hounds a few started to fire back with deadly accuracy! Woods, woods, swamp, creeks, railroad tracks and such. All the sudden we lost the trail, what happened? Oh, no, mister smart guy decides to make an double cross arrow out of sticks. Who pays any attention to sticks on hash? Well not HIMZ, DP or Lisa as they ran right past a 10 foot long arrow and wandered the back yards of nervous Plainsburoians looking for marks. Back onto some woods, a startled couple, some trails, I think there was a work site in there somewhere. Generally piss-poor terrain for those who just got a pedicure and hope their legs will look nice at the pool this summer. Info not to be shared with the authorities: At the on-in someone made the mistake of mentioning that "some" people in this world are sick enough to use dogs to help them reach that pleasure that half of DC has been calling Deborah Jeane Palfrey to fulfill (someone explain it to me why ABC won't release the names but NBC will show an infinite amount of garbage from suicidal maniac over and over and over again). Well, the mistake here was not realizing HYP was listening and he quickly started trying to figure out what snacks Oliver would be interested in. Not sour cream and onion chips, they did not have a strong enough scent to over come his own body odor. But the frosting off a cupcake, that will do the trick! I am sure law-suits, years of counseling and a 2nd date will ensue. A cod-skin was placed over the offending frosting covered area and we made our way home with 7 in a Civic Hybrid. When you hear that, the rational for a Excursion or even a mini-van start to seem week. Except the yawn and stretch move is more easily defended in an Excursion. Other useless info: Warren decidedly rejected all attempts to place him with a real name. We had the best and brightest working on this and he just keeps shaking his head. Time to bring the worst and dimmest! Even more useless: Anyone needing a mother's day gift for next Sunday, see HYP, he has at least 8 of the finest pieces that any mother would be proud to receive.
