PHHH Hash # 774.4 Date: May 31, 2000 Weather: Boring Venue: Lawrenceville - Towpath by Carnegie Ave Time: 50+ Set by: Pyroman Hashers: Discomfort, OuiPee, Hey Yo Paully, Juicy, Jenny, Wacko, Llloda, Nonsensei, Speedbumps, Exciteable Boy, Schwa, Dancing Fool, John "Paully's Friend" Visitor: Pedals His Ass THE WORST HASH OF THE SUMMER Pyroman set what was unquestionably the worst, most boring, lamest hash of the summer so far. Not only that, but the hashers had the worst breath, were the worst dressed, and had the worst hair. The trail, which was the longest of the summer so far, began as all the hashes have so far this summer, at the towpath at Carnegie Ave. (BORING). Yes, summer hashes are supposed to be boring - no one wants to drive far and we're all hungry, but on this hash, only if you were a halfmind, (and this hash had the most halfminds of any hash this summer so far), would you have followed the trail in the 50 ft wide swath of woods between Rte. 1 and the towpath up to Mrs. G's, and then crossed Rte. 1, run parallel north for another mile, crossed back under Rte. 1, and then run in the shiggy and the river 50 ft to the side of the towpath all the way back down to the cars to complete what was the longest most boring straight ever of the summer so far. NOT shortcutting required the greatest self-control of the summer so far, and many failed, though some, particularly Jenny, insisted on remaining waist deep in shiggy even while the hare, (who, by the way, looked worse than I've seen him this summer so far), was screaming "RUN THIS WAY" "RUN THIS WAY" to the towpath. The only saving grace of the hash was that Dancing Fool collected more trash than ever before so far this summer, and also that the hashers managed to perform a civil duty, (other than defecation), rescuing the car keys locked in the trunk of the car of some forlorn fisherpeople. This task required the greatest act of bravery and faith of any hasher ever, any summer, as the John "Paully's Friend" risked limb and limb slipping his fingers into the sliver of a crack in the locked trunk door created by the entire hash group, (well maybe two of us), prying upward with all their tiny little might. The second saving grace is that Pyroman, through his great reputation, managed to fill up the ranks of setting volunteers in one day by threatening to set the rest of the hashes this summer.
