PRINCETON HHH HASH #723.4 Date: July 7, 1999 Weather: Divinely Bovine Time: 1:00 Venue: ETS Set By: Uranus Williams Hashers: RoJo, Hand Solo, TFM, TableToes, MooJuicy, Pyro, Tropical Depression, NBLesbian, Discomfort, OuiPee, Schwaaaa, Booger, Speedbumps Bovinity Divinity ETS... that's Spanish for Sexually Transmitted Disease, serious enough to keep Llloda away, but undaunting to 13 other prophylactic-packing hounds. What's a summer without a hash through ETS? It has everything; pristine woods on gentle sylvan trails, babbling brooks and bucolic waterfalls, one mildly annoying yo-yo of death, and of course, elegant post-run refreshments served in rustic surroundings. Our hare for the evening provided a nutritious bounty for the image conscious hashers, eager to hone their bodies into swimsuit shape for the summer months. Good beer and Ben and Jerry's abounded; Uranus of the chocolate chip cookie has no doubt done her research. As we all know, it takes 1 calorie to heat 1 gram of water 1 degree centigrade. Translated into meaningful terms, this means that if you eat a very cold dessert, the natural processes which raise the consumed dessert to body temperature during the digestive cycle literally sucks the calories out of the only available source, your body fat. For example, a dessert served and eaten at near 0 degrees C (32.2 deg. F) will in a short time be raised to the normal body temperature of 37 degrees C (98.6 deg. F). For each gram of dessert eaten, that process takes approximately 37 calories. The average dessert portion is 6 oz, or 168 grams. Therefore, by operation of thermodynamic law, 6,216 calories (1 cal./gm/deg. x 37 deg. x 168 gms) are extracted from body fat as the dessert's temperature is normalized. Allowing for the 1,200 latent calories in the dessert, the net calorie loss is approximately 5,000 calories. This process works equally well when drinking very cold beer in frosted glasses, or at least taken directly from an icy cooler. Each ounce of beer contains 16 latent calories, but extracts 1,036 calories (6,216 cal. per 6 oz. portion) in the temperature normalizing process. Thus the net calorie loss per ounce of beer is 1,020 calories. It doesn't take a rocket scientist (or maybe it did?) to calculate that 12,240 calories (12 oz. x 1,020 cal./oz.) are extracted from the body in the process of drinking a bottle of cold beer. Frozen desserts, e.g., ice cream, are even more beneficial, since it takes 83 cal./gm to melt them (i.e., raise them to 0 deg. C), and an additional 37 cal./gm to further raise them to body temperature. The results here are really remarkable, and it beats running hands down. Unfortunately, for those who eat warm butterscotch-chocolate-chip cookies, the effect is lost. As the astute reader will have reasoned, however, the obvious solution is to make ice cream sandwiches and wash them down with cold beer. This diet, combined with a physician-approved exercise plan, will no doubt keep hashers everywhere in top physical condition. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Added later: It was omitted from the write up that HYP started approximately 20 minutes after all the other hounds were losing weight by downing ice cream, and he even made it to the Lucent grounds where the on-in was held long after the other hounds were evicted. But maybe it doesn't count as hashing if no one was there to see (or hear) you.
