"First to Cooler"  Joe Burns 
Description, comments:  Tough day for a hash: sun, bluesky, first crocuses poking 
their idiot heads into the air. Many absentees:  Keuffel couldn't, Toxic wouldn't (and the 
Geezer shouldn't).  Andrea Orgostudent was spending the afternoon being attacked by 
ninja hordes, the Warbler was in Florida with the green pants set, and no one's seen 
Vigue for years.  So Wachspress set a hares and hounds in his usual venue, and we 
were off on our annual Tour de Rue Raymond.    Here is a deeply mindless joke while 
your Scribe gropes for words:
	I say, my dog has no nose!
	No nose?  How does he smell?
	Just terrible.

Oh.  So what happened on this hash?  Wachspress set loops. The LRF was torn to 
shreds by monster thorns while everyone else went over an obvious fence.  Mind of a 
frozen reptile.  Wachspress got lost at the start when he couldn't find "the little park."  
Mind of a Dangerpup. The Geezer lost his boots in transit.  Hah!  Who knows the 
reference to that one?  The pack failed to veer away from slavering hounds and was 
only saved by the fence.  Minds of sheep.  At the end, as the pack headed for the 
obvious terminus, all but the LRF were rescued as Corwin and Rahul found the first of a 
series of tight reverse loops (degree of difficulty 8.3) leading backwards.  For some 
reason the LRF continued on to oblivion as all else vanished in the right direction.  Mind 
of a mutant iguana.  So there we were, scratching and looking normally vacant as 
Hashhorne stood on an arrow (mind of a telephone pole), and Corwin headed 
backwards along the trail we had run 15 minutes earlier (mind of Effross). Finally we 
crossed the road to find Joe Burns already at the cooler sharing a few beers with 
Nelson Mandela (fresh from the cooler himself), along with Nelson's triplets, Willie, Half 
and Full.  Actually, Full's cousin Gainer was there too. Except for the lack of them great 
vinegar and salt chips, a good time was had by all.

Next Hashes:
By the way, the next hash is # 250.4.  Or perhaps not, as we skipped #200.2.  But then 
we erased one hash when Effross (mind of stone) forgot the beer.  How about Pizza at 
Andy's Tavern afterwards?
