Princeton HHH HASH # 285.4
Date: November 11, 1990 
Weather: The kind of day that makes you want to run forever (again)
Set by: Half-a-Deck
Runners: LRF, Orgostudent, G-String, Dr. No, Geezer, Luke, Whack-Oh (Saduhara's 
brother), John Neworgostudent. 
"First to Cooler"  Joe Burns 
Description, comments: Their names live in infamy:  Weinstein of the Microdots, Son 
of Geezer, 1/4 Lopez, Effross the Un-named, Mertz the Silent, and the others guilty of 
Hashcrimes of surpassing evil.  We came close to adding Half-a-Deck to the list on this 
potentially splendid Sunday.  

Playing cards as trail markers?  Even the simple problems seemed to have escaped 
into the missing part of Half-a-Deck's brain (who can find these playing cards in the 
windy, wintry woods where Westerlies whisper and Whack-Oh whimpers?  What 
happens to the trailers when those in the lead pick up the cards in a fit of ecological 
zeal?).  Despite the inherent deficiencies in this ill-conceived farrago of incompetencies 
a mere 26 minutes sufficed for the pack to traverse the trail.  All the time-worn excuses 
appeared:  "You shortcut a huge loop - it would have been much longer otherwise."  
Sure - at least three or four minutes must have been cut off.   "You guys ran past a 
check."  What else do you do with a check (or a Slovak, for that matter)? At least we 
weren't treated to, "That field must have been plowed since this morning." 

Next week it's another Orgostudent/G-String extravaganza.  Last time this pair set we 
spent the afternoon in the flooded backyards of West Windsor dodging homeowners 
and wastin' time (who knows this reference?).  This time we are promised some 
livingroom running. We'll see.

At least the guy finally got a name (thanks to Orgostudent).

Hashnews From All Over. ABC news did a piece on the release of some of the 
hostages in Iraq last week.  After pointing out that the rescue of a lucky few left many 
behind to while away the time waiting for the Bushbombs to fall, there was a shot of the 
residual hostages.  A pot-bellied semi-Geezer in shorts (he looked a lot like Ian 
Cummings) was revealed standing at the head of a group of 20-30 desperate-looking 
folks.  Suddenly the semi-Geezer lifts a horn to his lips, blats a strident bleat, and off the 
group runs into the desert!  It was almost certainly a HASH.  ON-ON!
