#690.4 Set: A Joy to His Mother Weather: So hot the ticks were still biting Time: 45 (Hand Solo: 83 min) Venue: South Brunswick Hashers: Pyro Man, Speed Bumps, Geezer, Wacko, Hand Solo, Morrow Pettigrew, Table Toes, Uranus Williams, Juicy Sportsbra, Hey Yo! TROUT!, Abbie Bagley-Young, Laura Perez Burgos, Rubber Alan, Ice Blue Balls, Tree, Darby, Tropical Depression, Throat Deep, Discomfort, Wee-P Rookie: Peter HeyYo'sPal THE STATUS QUO HAS NOT CHANGED, THE PARADIGM REFUSES TO SHIFT or ARE THOSE TROUT ON YOUR BRIEFS OR ARE YOU JUST HAPPY TO SEE ME or YAWN!!! JUST ANOTHER HASH What the hell is it about the Year of the Whine. First off, we can't even get any decent hashing weather. Nearly 70 oF in December and I go home with a tick.....not the worst thing I've gone home with mind you, (at least I didn't wake up with it!). By December we should have some cold wet shit to run through, my feet were never even numb. At this rate the Hard Core might as well be held in Palm Springs this year. Secondly, there was splendid mud and swamp and the hare never seemed to take anyone through it. Thirdly, I don't even recall any good whining! Oh sure, I heard a rumor Morrow screamed when she wrenched her ankle but that hardly counts! In my day we ran without ankles! And we liked it! Oh yes Sunday's hash that's right, sorry (it is the Year of the Whine you know!). Overall not a bad set by Joy (not Bucks Co. mind you but good for NJ). In any other year it would receive no mention at all but this has been so lack luster that it deserves at least a mention. Oh, sorry, more whining, back to the hash. Let's see what happened: Geezer bleed, Wacko shortcut, Tree and Darby drooled, Paully had trout on his briefs, Tropical ate a bacon cheese burger at the start and increased his tree kill number by one at the end, the beer was cheap, We Pee's salsa was great but he was too cerebral, we ran by that tree near the mud, and Solo ran to NYC and caught the matinee of CATS before running back to the ON IN. Like I said the Paradigm refuses to shift and the Status Quo remains the same. This hash reads like most of the others this year. Perhaps the great Cuban Assassin can change all of that next week, I'm certainly not resting any hopes for '98 being salvaged by Hey Yo! And God knows I'll make ya all go to Bucks Co. So Assassin it's up to you to step forward and save '98 from going out as the Year of Mediocrity! Sure we'll do 54 this year but it's quality not quantity that count (unless you're Hey Yo!). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NEXT HASHES: #691.4 Sunday, Dec 13, 1998, 2 pm, 87 Prospect, The Cuban Assassin sets #692.4 Sunday, Dec 20, 1998, 2 pm, 87 Prospect, Hey Yo!
