PRINCETON HHH HASH #748.4 Date: December 13, 1999 Weather: Boring Venue: Boring Time: Boring Set By: Boring Hashers: Boring Rookies: Boring BORING This hash could have very easily been the above, but actually it was... Date: December 13, 1999 Weather: Brisk Venue: Provinceline Rd Bridge to Rosedale Park Main Entrance Time: 1:15 Set By: Geezer Hashers: Hey Yo Paully, Juicy, OuiPee, Booger, Rich Allen, Uranus, RoJo, Solo, Wacko Pyroman, Alex "Son of Pyroman" Speed Bumps, The Eggsightable Boy, Discomfort, Tropical Depression, Llloda, Ice Blue Balls, Tree, Darby Rookies: Alex, The New Old Dog Special Guest: Natural Born Lesbian NOT SO BORING Geezer cursed as only three hounds followed his first false trail to the Provinceline Rd Bridge. This trio of Hand Solo, Juicy and Rookie Alex continued onward to Cleveland Dr, pounding asphalt all the way to Carter Rd. This dubious, shiggyless, "long cut" would have been more disconcerting if it weren't for the dextrous manner in which Speed Bumps dragged half the others into a black hole somewhere within ETS, while HYP and Wacko shrieked On On's in vain for over ten minutes. All reunited at the Carter Rd bridge over Stonybrook - as I'm sure you all remember as the spot where 17 years ago our founder and guru Joe Burns began his long march "up the creek" with Rhoads Hollowell and "some guy named Birk" (see Hash #19, 4/4/1982). This time the trail took all the hounds to the "far side". Rookie Alex, who later would impress us with a double down down, had had enough roads and was yearning for the shiggy, leaving Solo and Juicy to continue their pavement pounding down Elm Ridge Rd while the rest of us braved the "twisty maze of passages all alike" through the unforgiving thorn garden. This time the Geezer's perverse yo-yo of death served the shortcutters well, as the far end of the yo-yo was a double-cross arrow visible from the road. However, once forced into the woods, our dynamic duo found the going a bit rougher, and the hounds reeled them in like an angry peloton. Remarkably, for a Geezer hash, all were reunited and on trail at the end, without the necessity for the wizened hare to tell us the way barking vituperative amertume for our not being able to follow his arcane labyrinthine thought process. After the 100th fake arrow across Stony Brook the inevitable crossing was af"ford"ed at the shallowest, and all were soon sucking down beers and trading war stories in the parking lot of Rosedale park, failing to decide on a name for Rich Allen ("Oui Pee's Binky"?), trying to avoid the squirting fish pistol of Hand Solo, and cheering the Giants comeback victory over the Bills. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NEXT HASH: #749.4, Sunday, Dec 19, 2 pm, 87 Prospect, HeyYo!
