Descriptions, comments, polemics, and lies: Anything can happen on a Rookie
Set. As the immortal Fats Waller often said, "One never knows, do one?".
Right Fats. One expects all sorts of screw ups: too long, too short,
oh-so-clever loops oh-so-ripe for the cutting off, random forests of marks,
you know the drill. Some of this we got, some we didn't. We surely cut off
a loop at the deer necropolis, and another as the trail hairpinned through
a development off Cherry Hill Road. The hares found themselves utterly lost
and confused shortly after the necropolis, as the trail degenerated into a
morass of ill-laid trails. It was a sad sight - there they stood at the
focal point of their own marks, each steadfastly maintaining that the other
was responsible for the obvious fiasco, or even that it was in some strange
fashion the packs' fault that there was just a bit of confusion at that
point. I thought that the watchword for the '90s was "responsibility" or
something like that. Well, if Bill and Newt can play dodge-em with the
Truth, why not a couple of hares. It must be said though, that it was sad
to see the level of recriminations and invective being thrown about between
the two of them. Even the deer, gathering near their Final Resting Place,
settling their affairs and getting ready to meet that Great Ruminant in the
Sky, were obviously upset; doubtless embarrassed by the shameful display. 

There was unexpectedly decent food. This hash is the current leader for
"food of the year" for '97. Not bad.

We now must prepare to enter the most sacred part of our hashyear. And in
1997 the stars are arranged so that many of our High Holidays are nearly
coincident. That's right, Both Losar, the Tibetan New Year, and Darwin's
Birthday fall near the Sunday reserved for our "G" run, in honour of
Alberto Stephano Ignatius Gispert, one of the original founders of the Hash
in KL in 1938. A full biography will appear later, but all hashes run for
"G" on the day nearest February 11th, and we shall do the same. 

                And don't forget to train for pain:
