PRINCETON HHH HASH #705.4 and 708.4 Date: March 21 and April 8, 1999 Weather: rain and shine Venue: Hairpins Time: 1:15 and infinite Set By:Hey, YO! Paully Hashers: 05: several, all of whom are in the database, and one of whom never returned. Here's an approx: Geezer, Wacko, Juicy, Solo, Schwa, Excremental Earnings, Mark Evans (?), OuiPui, Uranus, RoJo, LLLoda, Rubberalan, Natural Born Lesbian, Speed Bumps 08: Pyroman, Geezer, Petting Zoo, RoJo, Table Toes, Rubber Alan A Joy to His Mother, Throat Deep, LLLoda, Discomfort Descriptions, Polemics, and Lies: Two A-Pauling Sets Two runs, one setter, one MO. Run 'em out a long way, cross something difficult, then run 'em back again. Feed 'em well and hope they forget or at least forgive. Works pretty well, I guess. '05 used Route 95 or 295 or some big road anyway (out near the House of Shih) as a ruler, and we ran through the rain till we got tired, then were sent under the highway through a culvert of surpassing sliminess (nice, Paully), and then right back the way we came. I was cold and my feet were wet. '08? same-o, same-o, but our Paully used the canal as the dividing line this time. Down one side and back the other, except for one little thing. It's not wise to set a two hour hash when there is only one hour available before the Great Viewing. Oh well, folks bailed in various ways, and no one followed the whole trail. As the Geezer cruised in to the Rusty Scupper parking lot, his skin beginning to rot and peel from a recent trans canal swim, he was treated to the sight of Paully deep in conversation with Ptomaine Ptom, owner/manager of the Rursty S. "My customers can't stand the sight of you - get outta here. What I need you to do is beat it." The Geezer attacked, but couldn't get the Geezervan's steering under control in time to run over Ptomaine. There ensued a Great Confrontation in which the Geezer pointed out that as none of the "customers" would survive the day in his poison pit, why not let them look, and who cares about people who would eat in such a place, anyway? Ptomain Ptom excoriated the beautiful van, and threatened to call the wrecker. Vintage end-of-hash stuff. Off to the flicks we went. _____________________________________________________ Maitland Jones, Jr. Department of Chemistry, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544 Phone: 609 258-3909 FAX 609 258-2383 email: mjjr@chemvax.princeton.edu homepage: http://www.princeton.edu/~mjjr
