Wacko Bails Out Solo

The once-reliable Solo reported in crippled - excuse me - anteriorly
disadvantaged - and Wacko set a brilliant hares and hounds starting from
the Ramadan Inn running behind the Solar Motel, whose day rates many wished
they had taken advantage of, through the infamous woods paralleling Our
Beloved Founder's legendary one-mile straight down Route 1, thence through
the much-travelled development to Route 27, hard by the po-lice firing
range, into the trap rock quarry and finally ending at the extinct shopping
center adjacent to the Route 27 boom-boom room, Studio 27.  Although it may
have lacked the great shiggy of two weeks ago, nonetheless it had its
moments. For example, Road Jaundice bit off half the Geezer's right ear.
One surely should not speculate further on what despicable act on the part
of the Aged One provoked the usually decorous Rojo into this hideous act.
However, even the virtues of this model hash pale when juxtaposed to next
week's once in a lifetime (except, perhaps for the Geezer) extravaganza:

                          The Princeton HHH 500.4th Hash.

Think of it: in October of 1979, Our Revered Founder, Joe "Hopalong" Burns
set a local run for the inmates of Stevenson Hall. Nothing much, so it
seemed, a mere fall gambol through the woods. But What Hath Joe Wrought?
Since then, 503.4 hashes (and one Hash-style run) have intervened, and the
SHHHH has grown into the PHHH, the paragon of the hashing world. No other
hash adheres so closely to the style of the Mother Hash in KL. Those of us
who have run in hashes round this country and the world know what I mean:
rather little idiocy, but sufficient weirdness; and, of course, shiggy,
shiggy, and more shiggy. 

There have been no less than 212 brain-deficient folks who have run with us
more than one time and uncounted more who had the good sense to quit after
one try. This week you have the chance to see living (well, sort of)
legends. Our Esteemed Founder, Joe "Hopalong" Burns, will be with us. The
evil Dr. No, grovelier extraordinaire, and renowned setter of multi-hour
Death Marches, will be present to lick our boots to a high gloss and
demonstrate the virtuosic pederasty that has had him run out of seven
states by angry parents and school boards. Postage Paid, the George Foreman
of the Hashing World, may return. Toxic Waste, the Human Asymptote, will be
approaching us, and, if we are especially lucky, Her Grace, Arlene S.
President, may dine with us. Bodysnatcher, a killer of dogs, may show up.
Several anniversaries and important events are possible: Wrong Way will
become the seventh to attain the Coveted Century Mark, The Delay LLLama
will reach 60, Postage Paid, 40, and, believe it or not, Hopalong himself,
our Esteemed Founder, and gone these many years, will at last attain his
half-century. Rojo may bite off the Geezer's other ear. There should be
plenty of down-downs.

A number of grizzled veterans from Hash #1 will be there: Wacko, Toxic
Waste, Hopalong, and The Geezer are certain participants, and who knows who
else may appear? We will repair to Good Friends in Princeton Junction for a
dinner afterwards. An overly-generous subsidy is courtesy of all your $2
contributions, and we promise to blow the entire treasury, if possible. 
Beer catered by The Geezer. At $7/case you can't possibly do better.

The Louisiana Reptile Fancier, has the Honour of setting this landmark.
Rawsex, our Religious Advisor Without Spiritual EXcess, will give the
invocation. The Geezer and Wacko will sing a Hymn. So join us again, run
through yet another swamp, and survive to lift a few jars at the end with
the PH3. What passes for life for a hasher doesn't get better than this.
