PRINCETON HHH Hash #436.4 DATE: Sunday December 5, 1993 SET BY: Sleeper HASHERS: LRF, Wacko, Ron, Dan (from Orgo), Hand Solo, Geezer, DUNCAN "Dunk Him" MacNICHOL WEATHER: Wet and Wild VENUE: Sleeper's House in Kendall Park --> generally West to the canal. SLEEPER'S REDEMPTION or THE SUB-HUMAN SEVEN Most people would figure that on a cold, wet, December day there are better things to do than go hashing. Then there are also those who figure that on a cold, wet, December day there is nothing better to do than go hashing. But the seven sub-humans mentioned above are among those who on a cold, wet, December day have nothing better to do than go hashing. Rather disappointing to see the LRF among that number, always figured him for at least an ounce of common sense, or at least an organ concert. Ron was no surprise; the Geezer and Wacko expected, Solo, a friend of the hare, Dan, still an unknown quantity, but who is this straggling in decked out in professional raingear all the way up to the dimestore eye-goggles? DUNCAN MACNICHOL??? - long held to be a one-time wonder, having shown up only for Dr. No Name's infamous Roam For Foam IV back on Sept. 23, 1990 (Hash #278.4) (Correct, when you're too lazy to write anything original may as well do research. Such as Sleeper's first hash was just 5 weeks later. Hey Geezer, is Duncan the record-holder for time between hashes or does Effross hold that one?") Duncan must just be one o' those fair weather types. Actually, though the weather looked bad this Sunday afternoon, once you got out there you discovered that it really was atrocious, i.e., perfect for hashing. Sleeper, having vowed to redeem himself after his Manville debacle, acquitted himself admirably, crisscrossing us back and forth through swollen streams and managing to keep the pack of hounds ensconced in submerged woodlands for most of the hash, with a few lapses of several thousand yards straight down country roads with no marks (which we've come to expect from the sleepy one). The hash had all of the usual joys, Solo running deaf, dumb and blind from horizon to horizon, Ron and the Geezer competing to see who could remain waist high in water the longest, Duncan, following their lead assuming that it must be proper hash etiquette, the LRF supplying the running commentary of exactly where we are, where we were going, and when we were here before, Wacko shortcutting ad nauseam, and Dan... hey.. what did Dan do? Who is this character? We gotta watch this guy - can't let him slide past hash #6 unobtrusively. After some beer, chips and salsa we piled into the big blue van and headed back to Princeton, passing the site of the Geezer's incomparable hash of the week before. (Anyone want to go back and run that wonderful loop we all missed?) Anyone interested in setting over Christmas or New Years? Might not be many runners.
