Princeton HHH Hash #517.4 (Founded by Joe "Hop-along" Burns in 1979) Date: August 2, 1995 Weather: Hot enough to drain one's will to live Venue: Sourlands Nature Preserve East Time: 1:15 Set By: Hand Solo Hashers: Ned the Adolescent, Jim, Hey Yo! Paully, 242, Big Steve, John, Andy, Stretch Armstrong (more official), IUTTW, Scott (Brother of IUTTW), Dry Martinez, LRF, Pushnermaybe, Trash Can. Rookies: Eleanor Harrison, Nathan Shields, Chris Woolford First to the cooler: Joe Burns Hashers who were either excluded or incorrectly identified in Hash #515.4 hash trash: Brian, The Milkman, John, Pushnermaybe "Let em rot," said LRF in an uncharacteristically laconic manner. No grunts of "idiots," "fools" or "criminals" were to be heard from the Louisiana Reptile Fancier this day. No. This was the new LRF. An LRF who has reached a plateau of disgust such that even insults--nay, acknowledgement alone--constitutes a compliment to the animals who call themselves the PH3. But LRF wasn't the only stoic at Hash #517.4. Hand Solo, by all accounts a mild-mannered man, had little to say in defense of the misanthropic hash crime he conveniently labeled a set. What possessed Solo, perhaps the most respectable of all hashers (that's not saying much), to drag this insipid bunch through mile upon mile of spider web flailing misery we will surely never know. It's safe sweats to say that Solo wanted to break our collective will. What the sadistic marathon-man didn't count on, though, was the resiliant stupidity of Princeton Hashers. Pushnermaybe boxing with invisible arachnids. Big Steve sauntering with his 'water' bottle (actual contents unknown). Andy and his enigmatic charge down a mountain. These hardy souls don't know what's going on...much less do they care. Inumerable checks, cruel false trails, and generally aggressive insect life only intensify their lust for beer. Along with the thirst for booze, however, must also reside a thirst for knowledge. LRF's first Hash lecture in a series entitled 'Syphilis, Ticks, and Fun' went off like gangbusters. In the series, LRF expounds on subjects ranging from venereal disease to blood-sucking parasites. LRF looked positively Platonic as he edified the sweaty masses in Solo's remote gas-line setting. Even Hey yo! Paully paused to feign interest. Requests for lecture transcripts should be referred to: Louisiana Reptile Fancier 'Syphilis, Ticks, and Fun' c/o Harold T.
