Description, comments: As Ramón Santayana, the shortstop for the Cienfuegos Pistoleros 
once said, “Hey man, if you don’t know what happened you goin’ to do it all over again.”  Or 
something like that.  His brother Jorge Santayana, who runs with the Havanna HHH, put it more 
elegantly, “ llA uoy tog ot od ot wonk lla taht tnew no no siht hsah si ot daer eht seton rof hsah 
.oN 4.012 sdrawkcab.”  Sdrawkcab indeed!  There was so much history recapitulated on this 
hash that even the memory of the Venerable One was taxed.  But no one could miss the 
significance of Wrong Way bending over a tiny  splotch of white wondering if it was a mark or the 
exhaust from a wayward goose. Hiser last did this on the worst of Microdot Weinstein’s odious 
Crimehashes; in fact it was the very one (#92) that earned Weinstein his loathsome name. Did 
the setters know that they were dropping their ever-diminishing marks almost at the scene of 
the crime? If they did it was an artistic touch, but your scribe must admit to doubt that “artistic” 
would be an appropriate word for this Straight-Line-to-Hell hash that ran like an arrow from Rt 
206 to the Great Road. Still, it did have its moments.  There were double F’s in fields followed 
almost immediately by marks, checks placed 50 feet apart with the next mark across a stream, 
up a hill, and behind tangles of junglethorns, and geese aplenty (who remembers the hash on 
which we ran through the Field of Prehistoric Geese?).

We ended on what was once fields and woods just off the Great Road.  In honor of the 
transformation of this formerly sylvan spot from a useless bit of farmland into a leisure lawn for 
parasitic coupon-clippers, G-String and Orgostudent provided us with Designer Beer.  This 
appropriate gesture was only slightly diminished by the fact that Bud Dry tastes like fermented 
panther piss.
   
Actually this Hash marks a sad moment.  G-String and Orgostudent revealed at the start that 
they had had a serious tiff and that this once inseparable Hashduo was sundered forever, 
whatever that means.  I can only assume that one of them wanted to use a whole bag of flour 
on this hash and the other insisted that half a bag would do.

In two weeks we go to Reading for their 200th run.  Please note now that (1) we will meet at the 
Geezer’s house at 10 am on December 2 and (2) these greedy bozos want $25 for the privilege 
of Running in Reading.  This includes a T-shirt which is presumably made of gold.
