The LRF'sTour of Princeton's Architectural Errors

Description, polemics, comments and lies: The LRF has been lately overcome
by the combined effects of late summer ennui and rampant hydrophobia. As it
was, he was barely able to stir himself from a certain reptilian torpor to
set for us this week. Nonetheless, he produced a trail, though surely
appropriately criticized as vanilla-like and dare I say it, boooooring,
nonetheless managed to lead us here and there in the Princeton environs and
to provide the necessary weekly hash-fix for the several addicts among us.
It started at the award-winning parking garage, formerly a great favorite
of the LRF's, but now so heavily encrusted with prehistoric flour marks
that it has been reduced to an architectural horror. The obligatory zig-zag
through Princeton's quiet streets led to the even-more-obligatory
Wachspress double cross over Washington Road bridge; a little shiggy here,
then through the soccer fields and  the nursery to the graveyard. A feint
to Route 1, surely also a graveyard, this time of design, was of no avail,
as this group had taste for neither the Darth Vader style of architecture
nor for automotive disaster. We then found our ways back across Alexander
Road to cAnal Pointe, the apotheosis of dead-end modern design, and a
fitting end to this showcase of  architecture gone astray.

Wacko vanished early. This veteran of 325 Princeton hashes was unable to
figure out that the trail probably crossed Lake Carnegie, and decided
instead to inspect the inside of Palmer Stadium. He spent much of the hash
cruising the roads in the Big Blue Van searching for his buddies, who
eventually greeted him with appropriate hoots of derision. Wacko's loony
behavior didn't prevent him from later savagely berating the Geezer for not
knowing where he was, as if the Ancient One ever did. 

The end was marred by a most unseemly sprint to the finish by Sarah and
John. Many down down's were voted, but the LRF's meagre supply of beer
necessitated a delay. Also delayed by this inappropriate action was the
awarding of Sarah's hashname. Stay tuned.
