PRINCETON HHH HASH #391.4 and Exciting Year End Review Including Full Frontal 
Centerfold of the Hasher of the Year!

Date: December 20, 1992
Weather: Devonian
Set By: Wacko, hares and hounds
Hashers: Solo, 8-Balls, Safe Sweats, Geezer

First to Cooler: Joe Burns

Description, polemics, comments, and lies: Not much to say here. It was certain to 
be a small pack and Wacko made his 60th set a hares and hounds that spiraled 
through Community Park North crossing itself three times The trail, like the worm 
Ouroborous, coiled itself into a knot, tightened, and vanished into the fifth dimensional 
miasma of ool-ya-koo. Now, with that pathetic write-up out of the way, and being 
mindful of the likely non-hash next Sunday, here comes the eagerly awaited, much 
beloved, End of the Year Review!

First Hash of the Year: # 341.4 set by the Geezer in the Institute Woods on New 
Year’s day.  We ran 51 (or possibly 52, see later) hashes in 1992. Dinos (Helen’s 
Organ) set the first hash of 1991. Remember Dinos? Remember Fifi? Dinos does.

Food of the Year:
     a) Best: Big Nut’s (actually Wen Qi’s) dumplings at many an apres.
       b) Worst: No contest! Dr. No’s offering at the end of #354.4 (“No Pain”). “No’s idea 
of food would lead a rat to a hunger strike.”
      c) Worst per $:The NYCH3 wins going away for their $12 burgers with malice (no 
extra charge, buster, so keep your big mouth shut) on the PH3 (#379.4) NYCH3 (#399) 
joint hash.

Apres of the Year: Dogshrinker’s Gold-coast specials, # 373.4, 375.4. Swimming 
pools, real food, bone china, and great hot dogs. (Small, though, I wonder why?).

Apres Venue of the Year: House of Shih, Big Nut, # 389.4. Honourable mention to The 
Villa No.

Comment of the Year: It’s a tie between RoJo, “It’s this big!” (#389.4 at the House of 
Shih), and the Geezer, in complete seriousness, and with just a hint of pride, (#347.4, 
about 12 miles from the H of S) “I know exactly where we are, the house of Shih is right 
around the corner.” Honourable mention to Hand Solo, for his good-bye to Dr. No, who 
was having an escape just barely ahead of a posse of angry Montgomery parents and 
the cops: “Good riddance, you bastard!”

Worst Hashvenue of the Year: No award. Remember, the worst Hashvenue of all time 
remains The Reptile Fancier’s #327.4  (The Warehouses at the end of time).


The Year of Reappearances:
 #350.4 Goosed to Fulfillment
 #359.4 Postage Paid
 #361.4 Bambi (R.I.P) 
 #368.4 (et seq.) Pushnermaybe
 #385.4 Jakkzoon

Worst Set of the Year: Another tie. This time between The Sleeper for his half of 
Solo’s #376.4, a mindless straight of asphalt somewhere in Franklin Park, and #363.4 
(Head First/J. J. Plecs combo - a fiasco of lost trails and lost setters in Mercer County 
Park (lost in Mercer County Park? Yes, well, they were undergraduates.)

Criminal Event of the Year: Wacko’s lost cooler on #356.4 (“The cooler beyond the 
end of time”). Stolen either by intergalactic voyagers from the 57th dimension or the 
Carter Wallace Cops.

Law Enforcement Ossifer of the Year: See above, “Criminal Event of the Year”. The 
Carter Wallace Patrol wins this one for sheer viciousness and unnecessary nastiness. 

Now, for the main award, the one you have all skipped to the end to find... The Hasher 
of the Year! A one-sided, no contest landslide for....... THE GHOST (#367.4, 372.4, 
375.4, 387.4 and many more to come). Here’s the picture:









Next Hashes:

there. Otherwise... cut to:
