PRINCETON HHH HASH# 479.4 DATE: Oct 30,1994 SET BY: Village Idiot and Hey Yo Paully HASHERS: Ro Jo, In Up To His Waste, TFM, 006, LFBB, Dan Vogel, Delay LLLama, E-Mail, Z-Man, Big Steve ROOKIES: Ed "Gary Schandling" Moy, Jim Krmpotich VENUE: South Jersey start and end Gateway High School WEATHER: Not bad The Village Idiot requested along with Hey Yo Paully to set on this Hallowed Eve. What would be in store for the small band of hashing hobgoblins... tricks or treats?? Well, the band of runners slowly gathered at Gateway High School, including a Gary Schandling look-a-like and Hey Yo Paully sporting a Hasher for Congess shirt. 006 and a few others from Princeton screeched into the parking lot after racing down 295. 1 heard someone say that 006 could give flying lessons to Mr. Fluffy, and that some guy on a motorcycle was following, but he evidently could not keep up with a flying jeep. Later we found out that it was Big Steve who could not keep up and had gotten lost. Now, here is a perfect example of a "clever hasher". Big Steve appeared for the first time at 242's fiasco run where we ran for 1.5 hours but were only on a trail for 10 minutes. The next hash Big Steve shows up for was Hand Solo's marathon 2.5 hour hash where Big Nut was MIA until 7 PM. Now, Big Steve attempts to hash in South Jersey. No one has seen him since that fateful day. Last I heard he is now living with the Jersey Devil somewhere in the Pine Barrens. Well, now back to the run... It was a typical run through fields, woods, and developments. Some lovely short cutting was done by the entire group to arrive at a beer check. After a brief break the group was off again, but this time into a sea of soybeans. A new interesting flora was spotted or felt. Giant round prickly things that grew at the edge of a soybean field that were just tall enough to make the bravest man tremble. It was obviously a product of the toxic waste land of South Jersey. **Note: Hey Yo Paully has pointed out that the Idiot’s domicile is 2 miles from a toxic waste site. Could this explain the Idiot??? Now, back to the soybeans, LFBB had enjoyed the soybean field so much and especially the prickly plants that he decided to continue there while the rest took off for some lovely woods. The pack ran through the woods until they emerged onto the waste lands. The hares not being very "clever" were predictable. The @ of flour went directly across the waste land. Next, we found ourselves in the friendliest neighborhood. The kind folks of the neighborhood lined the streets explaining where the trail of flour went. Following their advice we found ourselves back at Gateway High School. However, LFBB who opted to stay in the soybean field was nowhere to be found. After 30 minutes of being lost he got directions to the high school from some of the kind folk and was reunited with the pack. The troop was then lead back to the Idiot's for beer, munchies and Ms. Patty's brownies. A few down downs were downed. Jim "the crazy Croatian" Krmpotich downed his in record time. As "drink it down" was sung it was.
