The hash that almost wasn't.  Trash Can, Delay Llama and Table Toes showed
up at the start, uncertain as to whether a course had been set, and after 
a lengthy discussion concerning the possibility of setting with a live hare,
Hey Yo Paully showed up and was volunteered to set.  Trash Can provided
flour (with probably the smallest credit card purchase in Davidson's history) 
and sent Hey Yo Paully off with what he thought to be a 10 to 15 minute lead.  
The impatient hashers then gave the hare a more than generous 6.5 minute lead 
and were immediately repaid for their deciet by following each of four false 
trails set by our overly busy live hare.  Once finding the true trail up across
Nassau street and beyond, our hashers were slowed down by another false 
trail or two in the midst of the the retirement community off of Harrison St.
After a bit of expert diplomacy by the Delai Llama with Borough firemen 
at the firehouse ("Uh, do you like uh know anything about uh some 
guy with no shirt on spreading flour around our parking lot"), 
Table Toes continued the theme for the evening and searched in the 
wrong direction, only to double back and find a thoroughly confused 
Trash Can and Delai Llama hiding from the now torrential downpour 
under the awning of the health food store.  Since marks were lost 
and seemingly washed away, the three forelorn hashers cruised back 
to the start (hoping that the hare had not stopped in a bar along the 
way) to find an equally moist Hey Yo Paully to describe the extra mile 
or so he set from where the trail was lost.  The group adjourned to the 
high brow surroundings of the Ivy, where Trash Can told tales of his 
trip through New Zealand and the south pacific while Hey Yo Paully 
did his best imitation of minnesota fats at the pool table.
