PRINCETON HHH HASH #524.4 Date: September 24, 1995 Weather: Habanero Venue: Raymond Rd. to Rocky Hill Quarry Time: 1:10 (?) (less than the Assassan expected) Set By: The Cuban Assassin Hashers: 242, LRF, Wacko, My Lips Are Seals, Throatwarbler Mangrove, Rojo, Eyesore, Milkman, TFM, Trash Can, Carry Hollinshead, Holly Haefele, Kristen Fountain Rookies: Katie Prager, Craig Webster "There are cataclysms and catastrophes occurring regularly in the universe and on the most awesome scale. There are, for example, quasar explosions which probably decimate the nuclei of galaxies. It seems likely that every time a quasar explodes, more than a million worlds are obliterated and countless forms of life, some of them intelligent, are utterly destroyed. This is not the traditional benign universe of conventional religiosity in the West, constructed for the benefit of living and especially of human beings. Indeed, the very scale of the universe--more than a hundred billion stars--speaks to us of the inconsequentiality of human events in the cosmic context." --Carl Sagan, Broca's Brain. Thus has Wacko completed 365 hashes. For those of us who seek solace in this wild and entropic universe, Wacko has been a mitigating force. Indeed, what (or who) else proffers a reality to compete with the incessant insult, rank hash-trash, and relentless confusion put forth by the individual who philisophically anchors the morally relativist PHHH. There is almost nothing one can assume in this cruel jest called existence, yet the reliability of Wacko remains almost unquestioned. Qui hashiunt, sum. ON ON to 500. Descriptions, comments, polemics, and lies: No doubt wounded by the fall of the iron curtain, the iniquitous Cuban Assassin has redoubled his efforts with yet another diabolical hash. What audience with El Viejo led to this recent trespass we can never fathom, but the secretive relationship of the Cuban company man and the old academic is widely known. The Assassin must have chuckled as he imagined our buffoonish jaunt through endless private property. Flesh-ripping shiggy and slime-clouded ditchs were the order of the day. But returning us to the site of Delay Llama's infamous 1-mile false was a form of psychological warfare that was truly below the belt. After a moment of silence at the site of Llllllama's indiscretion, the peleton quickly made its way to the canal, eventually grinding down towpath B, and ultimately charging for the actuarially nightmarish cliffs of the Rocky Hill Quarry. A detour through drainpipe alley added garnish, though did little to exonerate Geezer, the primary accessory in this international hash crime. Note: Hash #525.4 has been officially designated "Give LRF A Hug Hash."
