Description, Polemics, and Lies

It doesn't get much shittier than this: clement weather, the biggest 
pack in February, a founding PHHH hasher, one road crossing at the 
start, significant (for the Garden State) changes in altitude, a 
geocache that HIMZ and Wyppee marked for the PHHH, the four 
horsepeople of the Patriots' apocalypse, Fig Newmans, friends of 
Solo's dropping by the on-in, exotic Euro brews for our Siemens 
engineer, a virgin too fond of names involving breasts, a virgin who 
put away a down-down faster than the Red-faced Chugger, a hare who 
down-downed half a jar of salsa, and a dog who down-downed her cookie 
tray of water in less time than it took to pour it.

Lan was close to sticking the moniker "Breast Mints" on her maiden 
hash (shades of Weepee, reported in the brisk write up for 
www.princetonol.com/groups/phhh/archive/682.4.txt) , but her many 
interesting and unusual good causes (I'm sure not going to spoil them 
for you) and willingness to expatiate at length are sure to raise 
many more naming possibilities.

Wolfgang's a little tougher, since Count von Count already got our 
geeky German name, and little Amber, the liveliest pooch since 
Stickshift (a legendary Pyro and Bumps set on the tow path featuring 
jello shots, now lost to legend), scooped him on Not Suitable for 
Horses. Never have we seen a dog turn tail so cutely, and quickly, 
on the implacable approach of the Budweiser washouts!

Next up: Hand Solo tries not to lose the grandmaster before going 
back to Blighty!
