PRINCETON HHH HASH #737.4 Date: September 26, 1999 Weather: Dawn's Early Light Time: 1:05 Venue: Princeton Center at Blairstown - Princeton Outdoor Action 25th Reunion Set By: 242 and Milkman Hashers: Minor Tom, Rojo, Kristen Fountain (no name, but her 1st PHHH hash was #493.4), and Lori Pellegrino (from an Indonesian hash) Rookies: Billy Broaddus, Barbara Saatkamp, Mike Taylor, Peter Bregman, Stephanie Jones (A Joy to a Joy to his Mother's Mother's Daughter or, simply, A Joy to his Mother's Sister), and Sean Hartman (A Joy to a Joy to a Joy to his Mother's Mother's Daughter, aka A Joy to his Mother's Sister's Boyfriend) Seen at Avant and Apres: Raw Sex, Melissa Lockman, and Glory, the Wonder Dog Descriptions, Polemics, and Lies: Six Degrees of Joy The Joy Rating for this hash would be 1. Joy may not be Kevin Bacon, but it's becoming ever more difficult to hash without tripping over some relative of his (or at least someone named Jones.) With so many PHHH hashers in one place (to include a four-legged former hasher of the year) it seemed criminal not to set an imprompto hash. Luckily, Minor Tom had brought along a flour bag and procured some Honey Brown Lager at the 1 bar in town. 242 and Milkman somehow convinced several unsuspecting rookies to show up at 0700 by announcing to the gathered OA alums that hashing would be a "great wilderness and team-building experience following the finest traditions of Princeton's Outdoor Action program." (Okay, so he wasn't nearly so eloquent, but it worked). The 3 non-hashing hashers (see Avant /Apres above) unfortunately had to work, but provided several pounds of "contaminated" (with what?) flour and a detailed description of the Blairstown grounds to the two hares. Rojo gave a detailed rookie lecture on hashing to allow the "live" hares a decent head start. She then led the 10 hapless victims over wooded hill, grassy dale, dusty trail, (what, no caisons rolling along?), soggy marsh, and trickling stream with Minor Tom playing sweep. Several lengthy false trails kept the hounds well behind the hares. While the camp is is not where they filmed "The Blair(stown) Witch Project," it is where they filmed the original "Friday the 13th". Several apparent counselor corpses, however, turned out to be still-sleeping ex OA leaders, among them Rick Curtis (the OA Director) who was supposed to be hashing. Consequently, he missed 242 and Milkman's insult-in-flour to him waiting at the 3/4-way regroup. Joy's Sister's Boyfriend, however, made a typical rookie mistake, took the "R" for "Relief" instead of "Regroup," and was seen hastily hiking his pants back up in order to catch up with the rest of the pack. When, at last, the hounds arrived back at the shore of Crystal Lake, oops, I mean Bass Lake, they encountered a Wachspress Doublecross Arrow pointing across the lake to the On-in and beckoning hares. Six, in true hasher tradition, stripped to their shorts/skivies and jumped right in while one, Peter Bregman, (in truer hasher tradition) simply stripped and took off after them in his birthday suit. Rojo, her mouth hanging open and salivating uncontrollably, quickly found herself more soaked than the swimmers. Her affinity for Peters, i.e. 242 and Natural Born Lesbian, had now expanded to another. Having witnessed his immersion, she scooped up his clothes and ran around the lake, across the dam, and to the opposite shore to await his emersion. Not having seen the appropraite Seinfeld episode,however, her disappointment at his arrival was apparent. ("George Costanza: "What, don't women know about SHRINKAGE?") Shrinkage, now there's a good hash name for Peter should he ever return. The undead Jason did not reach up out of the depths and pluck any of the hashers as they swam for their lives, so all made it ashore. The apres was quick, as breakfast was being served. Despite his name, however, Milkman provided orange juice in addition to the requisite beer. Down downs for the rookies, airline flights for the hares, and dispersal for the hounds. Anything to avoid Lower Bucks County.
