PRINCETON HHH HASH #589.4

Date: January 12, 1997
Weather: bloody cold
Venue: Stevenson Hall-Lake -Translake-Ice Swamps----------31 Moron Ave.
Time: ??
Set By: 242
Hashers:  Geezer,  Kathy (Pierced!) Butler, Speed Bumps, Delay LLLama, Jeff
Skaar, Chris Jones

Descriptions, comments, polemics, and lies: A live set, which is the only
way 242 can do it, it seems. The trail did the obvious - meandered from SH
to the lake and across, then entered the sort-of frozen swamps
and.....................Well, your beloved scribe was a dnf at this point,
and knows not what happened on the way to the 242 abode on Moron Avenue.
Perhaps there will be an addendum filed to this lame report.

(Editor's Note: See bottom)

In the interest of filling up the virtual world with lost electrons, I
repeat from last week:

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:

Addendum:

  At this point, Geezer departed to parts unknown, more or less unbeknownst
to the other hounds.  The trail led into West Windsor fields, disappearing
into some brush.  The hounds scouted for many hours, eventually finding the
hare's snow-covered tracks leading into the Land of Strange Cane-Like Grass
Stuff.  It was from there that the hounds heard a ghostly voice leading us
onward.  When they reached the voice, it was not Geezer, as they expected,
but the despised hare, in the flesh.

  The hare then pointed the hounds in the wrong direction and took off for
his secret stash of blue flour, proceeding to set (if you can call it that)
back to Moron Ave.  The highlight of the second half was the invisible
check mark on Prospect Ave.  Despite the hare's efforts, the graveyard
outside his warren did not remain undesecrated (phew!).

  The apres was yummy, if you consider standing around in a kitchen, not
getting dry stuff, and eating barbecued non-flesh yummy.

  Afterword: One of the hounds reports finding a mysterious code word:
"GOK" inscribed in white powder behind the geezermobile.  He stood outside
the van and meditated on the inscrutable syllable for well over 3 seconds,
but enlightenment was not to be had that day.  (Editor's Note: Obviously
stands for Geezer's Old & Kranky)

I always feel a little like the man who fixed cats for a living, and who
was asked why he filled his shopwindow with clocks. What would *you* put in
the window? - Wallace Stegner, The Spectator Bird
