PRINCETON HHH HASH #601.4 Date: April 6, 1997 Weather: actually a bit sultry Venue: The pay by the hour motel on Rt.1 by the country and western bar (i.e., the Solar Motel) to Raymond Rd and beyond and back. Time: 1:13 Set By: Wacko Hashers: Delay Lllama, 242, Speed Bumps, The Reluctant Breeder, I'm too Desperate, Wendy the girl nextdoor Sullivan, Pyroman, John Clement, AND, hold your horses - BURKE HUBER. "Nothing left but a jellybean" Description, polemics, comments, and lies - or basically all I can remember: "Take your time - everything except my diaper changing muscles have withered down to mere remnants of the bulging massive colossus I was in my single days," Wacko pleaded as he drove off from Stevenson at 2:05 to set a live hare in the place of the still laid up Gerbils (recovering from hash 599.4 - heard to have recently been taken off the intravenous hydration fluid upon regaining consciousness, imploring "where's the beer?"). The Lllama built high the anticipation of the first Jellybean apres as he shook the plastic bag with its brightly colored contents. These were not the run of the mill Kmart Jelly beans, the hounds immediately recognized. These were those wonderful - flavored with fruit juice and high fructose corn syrup with only the finest dyes - variety. One might ponder just what a glucose frenzied hasher might do to ensure a repast of such delicacy - and would this act prove to be the Lllama's undoing? the last deed of the gentle, simpleminded Lllama? The hash began ideally and carried on in a delightful manner with aspirations of the apres for a quarter of an hour, until 242, sensing that something was vaguely missing, offered "aren't we supposed to go somewhere?" The group set out from Stevenson. At the start, the Lllama left the group and took to the wood leaving the pack in it's usual state of confusion. Was he trying to get a head start, or was he fleeing - aware of the vulnerable state he'd left himself in? We can only surmise. The mud was really very ideal: thick, smooth in texture, yet still cold and very black, with the customary rainbow patterns on the surface for effect - and found itself rather ubitquously throughout the hash in between stream crossings and wet terrain. The skunk cabbage was just up adding a delicate SCRUNCH to the usual SLOOOP of mud slogging. The sink depth was the optimal upper ankle, although Speed Bumps was able to demonstrate that with the proper force to surface area ratio, one could do much much better. The necessary contrast was provided by thorns, both ample in density and frequency. They were also of noteworthy quality - both long and sharp, and - being often dead - having the enchanting propensity to break off and get dragged along with a runner. Somewhere in this bizarre and hostile terrain, the hapless Lllama found himself abandonded by the unwitting pack. At the field-between-some-woods the pack regrouped, called for the Lllama and left him for dead, wounded, gone home...... or, possibly, now just out of the way. There was running. As the pack neared the on-in, 242 was met by the dogged Wacko and given the bucket of flour to finish the hash. He complied, weaving the pack through the last 400 yards of the finest shiggy on the hash. Miraculously in this vast expanse he was not able to loose a single (additional) hound. At the Apres, as the search parties turned up empty handed one after another, sympathy and remorse poured out for the missing Lllama. As the grieving waned, the subject of the remaining jellybeans was broached and it was agreed that the sharing of the last remnant of the dear Lllama would be most appropriate. Luckily, no digits were lost in the feeding frenzy that ensued and down downs were downed by both Wendy and John (the first ever beer and jellybean down down) rookies-no-more. Also, Burke did a down down for setting the uncontested record of longest sabbatical from the PHHH. He began in the early days of Joe Burns as a young high school student (possibly explaining the clear emotional scarring.) After 15 years however, he forgot why he stopped coming and came back to find out. NEXT HASHES: VOLUNTEER TO SET NOW.
