	              SEVENTEEN HOUNDS AND A DOG

				or

       			  THREE-FOR-THREE

Seventeen random sons-(and-daughters)-of-bitches and one thoroughbred named
Glory gathered eagerly in the parking lot behind Stevenson Hall - a veritable
mob enticed no doubt by the growing reputation of the PHHH's annual 
post-hash pilgrimage to Good Friends for victuals ala Hash Cash.  Indeed,
the mood was so festive that the milling hounds delayed their departure
long enough for even Pushnermaybe and Nightmare to arrive, having
made the long journey from the North, ribs primed for a rematch with Good
Friends' notorious pork shoulder.  Who knows, another five minutes
and maybe TFM would have showed up - but the Reluctant Breeder forced us
to leave (though not present) and a caravan of cars and a Geezervan limped
up 27 to the intersection with 518.

And then, it was off to the races!  As one might expect, a large pack
of hounds makes for quick hashing - but when coupled with 242's psychic
checking this pack traversed the 4 mile course like greased lightning.
And to think, just last week we were deriding Table Toes for not
being devious enough - perhaps it's just that the PHHH are getting too
good at this stuff.  (Have no fear, the Geezer sets next week and will
no doubt pawn off incompetence as deviousness.)  A mad dash through the
woods brought us to an impromptu regroup at the tiny park in the
development where the LRF ended hash #453.4 two-and-a-half years ago
whereupon 242, whilst performing his trademark "hop", reminded us
that this marked the spot where he became "1-for-1".  With that,
he dashed off, never to be seen again (at least for quite a while), 
though his vanishing calls of "On-On" were heard throughout (did you
get that Dr. No?!) pulling the rest of the hounds in tow like sailors
to the Siren call of Nazi beer.

The post-hash dinner at Good Friends roused The Reluctant Breeder and
his Reluctant Girlfriend as well as The Madam, sidelined from the hash
due to plantarfasicitis (always knew she had Commie leanings).
The hashers were also joined by the aforementioned pork shoulder
as well as three sea bass and an assortment of green beans, eggplants,
chickens and bean turds.  Conversation was completely 
non-intersecting with any other hash club in the world - ranging
from an explanation of the origination of the word "apocryphal" to
a dissertation on arthropods inspired by a squid dish.
Even 242's questioning the Madam as to whether the cortisone shots
she was receiving for her "fascist" feet were giving her big tits came
too late in the evening to lower the standards - what can we say -
without Hey Yo Paully and Mr. Fluffy around the evening was actually,
almost refreshingly highbrow!!  Interesting having 17 hashers communing
together eating and drinking with no fear of either being arrested or
kicked out.
