PRINCETON HHH HASH #584.4 Date: December 8, 1996 Weather: Chili Venue: Springhill Rd (just north of Rte. 518 between Great Rd. and Hopewell) South from Hillcrest to the railroad tracks - East and then North to Hollow Road - Grandview - ending at Chez Solo - where the family was conspicuously hiding. Time: 1 hr. 10 minutes Set By: Hand Solo Hashers: Delay Lllama, RoJo, 242, Gayle Rebovich, Katherine "NEEDS A NAME" Butler, Suzan "Speed Bumps" Aschmies, Billy Norton (his 2nd hash) Dan "Pyro Man" Torok (his 2nd hash), Wacko, The Gerbils are Sick and Dying, I'm So Dirty, Jeff "NEEDS A NAME" Skaar, Adam ??? (orange hair - neither Stuhlfat or Kessel - who is this guy?) Rookies: Chris Jones, Paul DiMeglio THE RETURN OF THE JEDI In this, the age of "Princeton Hashing - The Next Generation", it was fitting that the Empire Struck Back with a set by veteran hare, Hand Solo, who beamed back from marathon-land just before January's re-release of the Star Wars trilogy to instruct the new wave of hashers in the true art of setting. It took the pack of 15 hounds a mere five minutes to find their way from the first check and into a field - 242 flying onward to uncover 20 marks of an abandoned portion of the trail while the rest of the pack descended toward the woods on the right. Kathy B., straight from a long night of swing dancing, decided to show us her moves, tripping twice in a matter of seconds, and hobbling onward without missing a beat. At this point, the two rookies, Chris Jones and Paul DiMeglio sped away from the pack, unencumbered with thoughts of looking for marks. They soon found them aplenty, nearly out of earshot of the confused veterans. Lesson 1: The less you know, the better off you are. Fortunately, these two new boots continued to scream "On On", (obviously not from the Dr. No school) their faint cries reaching the ears of the others who eventually spotted them across a vast wasteland, tiny dots vanishing away down the railroad tracks. The hounds pounded off in pursuit, all, that is, except for Ro Jo and the Delay Lllama who decided to wait until after the stampede of alarmed cattle. The hounds pusillanamous approach to the railroad embankment allowed the freight train to get right on top of them before they finished scaling the pricker-strewn hill to the tracks. At this point, some confusion ensued, as Wacko mistook Pyro Man for Chris Jones returning from the true trail claiming there were no marks. Alas, this allowed marathon man Chris to extend his lead and learn Lesson 2: A huge lead on a well laid hash trail only means you get to run a lot more. While Paul was sprinting his way back to near lung collapse from the wrong direction, carrying some Bambi bones found nearby, Chris was learning just how difficult it is to find the trail from a check mark, and in no time, the entire pack was again together, waist dip in a chilly stream, emerging at Hollow Rd. where an impromptu regroup was called. Gerbils, Billy Norton and Paul were just arriving when an angry female homeowner accosted them with cries of "Hey You... You... Get off... Get Off... Get Off... Off... That's Private Property..." 242's cry of "Fredericka!!!! Run for it!!!" convinced the rest of the pack that they had regrouped long enough. They sped off before hearing Fredericka's further promises of calling the police. Not to fear, we were long gone by then, scaling another small hill and then descending to a jog along the stream next to Hollow Rd. and then up Grandview to Solo's house after a brief detour through the woods behind his house. Solo served some form of chili-like liquid at the apres, murmuring something unintelligible about emulating Big Nut (obviously suffering from some sort of delirium, though the substance was a nice gesture) - hounds recounted various tales of woe and derring do - 242 stripped, of course - I'm So Dirty pulled several hundred layers of warm clothes out of the back of Solo's car - and everyone else huddled around waiting for the cars to return, as Delay Lllama promised that next week he would set a decent hash -- another lesson in store for the rookies -- never believe anything.
