PRINCETON HHH HASH #695.4 Date: January 10, 1999 Weather: Sibelius Venue: Hamilton Time: 1:40 Set By: Juicy Smurf Hashers: Table Toes, RoJo, Hey Yo! Paully!, Speed Bumps, Weeepi, LLLoda, Wacko, Uranus Williams, Geezer, Amanda Jones, A Joy to His Mother, Pete Dayton, Chris Round, Pyro Man, Rubber Alan, Hand Solo Descriptions, Polemics, and Lies: A Juicy Three-Act Farce Act I (music: Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain) Scampering through giant sculpture is my idea of a great Sunday afternoon. Too bad it had to end so soon. We must return soon to the Grounds for Sculpture, perhaps for a summer picnic Hash Bash. Millions gasp in horror and anticipation as Joy glides across a frozen lake into the back yard of a well-meaning woman who nevertheless still (still!) believes in the idea of "private" property. After a bit of road running, the hounds give up. The hare drives up, gives a motivational speech, and zooms off to keep setting. The hounds make it all the way to the Hamilton train station, where they are no marks. Interlude (music: Strauss, The Asphalt Danube, perhaps) A dozen or so hounds give up again, deciding it is much more fun to skate around on the ice in the train station parking lot than it is to look for marks. Act II (music: Mozart, something quick and painless) Deus ex Amtrak. The hashers rise as one, cross the tracks, and find two and a half marks leading to a beer check. Perversely, nobody drinks beer. Geezer rends his clothes in grief. Act III (music Tchaikovsky, something confused and labyrinthine) The hounds follow a Delay LLLama-esque long false with no F at the end. They never recover. Eventually, they recover and make it out to the road, slogging out to Route 1 near Mrs. G's (speaking of which, our G hash is coming soon!). Postlude (music: Steve Miller Band, Fly Like a Cardinal) Happy hounds raise hell in unsuspecting tavern. Vikings stuff unsuspecting Cardinals in American Football on television.
