PRINCETON HH HASH #578.4 Date: Oct 27 1996 Weather: B-U-T-Ful Venue: Between Stevenson and Rt.1 and the canal Time: Those who finished 1:30 Set by: I'm 2 Desperate, Nick Longrich, Glory Hashers: Delay LLLama, 242, IUTHW, RoJo, I'm So Dirty New Boots: Phil, Anne Descriptions, comments, polemics, and lies: As numerous hashes in the past, this hash began with a small rat pack finding the first check mark at Stevenson and then heading towards the Lake Carnegie. The new boots and a few others followed 242Õs lead--no one warned them about what a big mistake this could be--and soon disappeared. It was rumored that IÕm So Dirty had contemplated swimming the lake, but the level headed LLLama convinced her that it was not a good idea. Now, at this point the SCBs, RoJo and IUTHW, stuck to the highway and picked up a double cross arrow pointing across the lake. At the other side of Washington bridge they came upon a check, they called for the others briefly and then began ÔSilent RunningÕ. The trail led off into what was termed a religious experience of reeds, briars, and fields of dried soybeans. However, the ever clever SCBs never saw this. Being as clever as they are they only skirted a soybean field and picked up the trail at another point. For those who did not make it past the field of soybeans the highlights of the hash were: A graveyard with no ghosts, but with a warning sign ÒDANGER COPPERHEADSÓ Second highlight was RoJo and IUTHW contemplating whether to cross the cement dam near the footbridge on the canal. This was quite entertaining for the folks out for a stroll on a Sunday afternoon. They all gave their opinions and finally RoJo, as Glory Dog, were cowards and ran back to Harrison and down the path on the other side of the canal, while IUTHW did his tight rope act while being taunted by on lookers. As RoJo reappeared she was given free advice from the Sunday Folk, Honey, are you married to him?Ó ÒNo, IÕm too smart for that!!!Ó Ò Well, I suggest that you find a new friend. HeÕs crazy!!Ó No one ever said hashers were sane. As long as the SCBs were running on their own they were fine. Warning!!! Do not follow the trail!! Having followed the trail from the footbridge the SCBs spied the Hare's transportation, but not the hares. They also spied a check mark, a happy face check mark. They did not like that. They were not happy. After a brief run in the woods the marks disappeared so the twosome headed to the highway where the hares were found. It seems that the others quit after they got entangled in the religious experience and headed back to Stevenson where they downed a few beers, ate some chips and relaxed after such an ordeal. *Note: Highlight of the end was IUTHW telling the tale of him unknowingly eating stew from a cup that had been used as a spitoon by a virus carrying TB laden navy reserveman. He did not notice this until he came to the slimy, gooy, eeckie stuff at the bottom of the cup.
