PRINCETON HHH HASH #743.4 Date: November 7, 1999 Weather: Brrrrrrisk Venue: Woodfield Reservation - Beyond Provinceline Rd and back - Cherry Valley Rd. - Drakes Corner Rd - Back to Woodfield Time: 1.4 Set By: Discomfort Hashers: Excitable Boy, Hey Yo Paully, Juicy, RoJo, Tropical Depression, Booger, Llloda, Ouipee, Excremental Earnings, Minor Tom, Tomoko, Wacko, Rubber Alan, Uranus Rookies: Steve "Excitable Boy's" Cousin, Julie "Wacko's Friend" Greenberg, John "Heard About Hashing Over the WEB" Smallberries Seen at the Apres: Ice Blue Balls, Tree, Darby ROCK & ROLL Discomfort supplied the rocks, and Tropical Depression supplied the roll, taking a tumble 50 yards from the ON IN after running the entire hash solo after arriving late at the start. The Princeton hash continued its fall season's rocky start. Not only did we have to contend with ankle-busting roots hidden under leaves, (remarkably Minor Tom was the only casualty) but much of the first half of this hash was spent jumping from rock to rock, as we made our way from the Woodfield Reservation out to the rock garden west of Province Line Rd. But did we wine... well maybe just a little. "You mean you really have hashed here before?" Discomfort asked with alarming surprise. "Just one or two hundred times," replied Wacko. Actually, that is an exaggeration - a very quick perusal of the database finds that only 5% of Princeton hashes have occurred in this terrain, the most recent being #715.4 (May 16th, 1999) and #703.4 (March, 1999). Thus since 0.05*52=2.6, we were due for another 0.6 of a hash in this area in 1999 anyway. If you want a decent write-up of this terrain, I suggest #500.4, but you can skip the part about Wacko dragging guru and founder Joe Burns to his demise with professed knowledge of where the end was. Familiarity notwithstanding, the hare did somehow manage to put new twists on old terrain, contriving somehow to mystically set an A-A trail that was entirely uphill. The one downhill jaunt, which was to her credit, the only pavement pounding, occurred heading toward Cherry Valley Rd. down Provinceline Rd where we noticed for the first time that we were Llloda-llless. After much jibing, Rubber Alan eventually went back to look for the damsel in distress, shamed into it by RoJo and Minor Tom who were already heading in that direction. Of course, TD had already overtaken L and utilized the shortcut supplied by D to R, MT and RA. L eventually arrived before the now maimed MT. The apres was typically atypical of all other hashes in the world, featuring homemade brownies, Juicy Juice and apples. OuiPee joined John and Steve who performed admirable rookie down downs while Julie escaped, for now, with the pack of hounds hurling vituperative amertume after her departing vehicle. Juicy promises no rocks next week. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NEXT HASHES: #744.4, Sunday, Nov 14, 2 pm, 87 Prospect, Juicy sets. #745.4, Sunday, Nov 21, 2 pm, 87 Prospect, Tropical Depression and Ice Blue Balls set the soft core hash. #746.4, Sunday, Nov 28, 2 pm, 87 Prospect, Throat Deep sets??? #747.4, Sunday, Dec 5, 2 pm, 87 Prospect, Geezer sets. #748.4, Sunday, Dec 12, 2 pm, 87 Prospect, ??? sets??? #749.4, Sunday, Dec 19, 2pm, 87 Prospect, HeyYo!
