PRINCETON HHH HASH #600.4 Date: March 29, 1997 Weather: Threatening Venue: Pyroland - 5K south of Rte.1 on Rte.13 (just south of Trenton) Time: 1 hour on the dot Set By: Pyroman Hashers: Pinup, Wacko, 242, Jeff Skaar, John, Rojo, I'm SO Dirty, A Joy To His Mother, I'm Too Desperate, Wrong Way, Table Toes, Speed Bumps Rookies: Mike Manntyla, A Joy To His Mother's MOTHER, Wendy 242's neighbor PYROMANIA Question: How can you set a hash that winds through large expanses of water and keep everyone from shortcutting? Answer: Stash the beer along the true trail, one can at a time! This was the plight of the PHHH on their triumphant 600th hash. No beer at the apres unless you pick it up along the trail in this sadistic twist on the tried and true theme of an Easter Keg Hunt. With the absence of our guru and GM, the rookies were not given the ritual indoctrination at the start to explain the basics of hashing which of course proved to be highly advantageous. Question: If the hare warned us about trains, why did we all run off the railroad tracks at the beginning of the hash (except for Rojo and Wrongway)? Answer: We like to run in shiggy. I'm So Dirty, in particular, zeroed in to the vilest muck, no doubt inspired by her cognomen. Also, perhaps we were just scared off by the dog carcass. Soon the pack was weaving through a maze of above ground culvert pipes out to the road - back into the swamp - and back almost to the start - all to collect a paltry half dozen beers. Wacko, noting the large reservoir opposite the railroad tracks, attempted to shortcut through a quarry - when a trailer park lady accosted him while taking a pee break. "What are you doing?" Oh God, what a straight line. Too bad Wacko was still too shell-shocked from the Hardly-Core Hash to respond properly. "You know, that's private property." This lady must've worked with Jack Benny in the 50's. Circumnavigating the quarry with Wrong Way, the dynamic duo missed the incoming marks (hidden in the scruff along another quarry lake) and misled the pack into continuing down the railroad tracks (which actually turned out to be the fastest route if you didn't have to stop and collect beer along the way). The skies may have threatened, but it was confusion that reigned, at least long enough for John and Desperate to take an impromptu swim in the quarry lake (yikes). The confusion did give Pinup a chance to stagger up to the rest of the miscreants, woefully missing the pint of blood she donated the day before, though we're still not sure who to. Soon all were on again, and busily winding back toward the start and Pyroman's home which was invaded for a dry apres as the heavens opened (alas, if only the trail lasted another 10 minutes). A Joy To His Mother's Mother enjoyed her virgin escapade with the PHHH but regretted no being able to stop and pick up the sawed in half dog carcass. Her lament soon veered to the topic of the missing bones, prompting her nervous son to quickly hush her up before she revealed too much of their demented family life.
