GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

How befitting it was of Solo to volunteer a Pre-Independence 
Day Hash-otherwise known as "Celebrating the Reign of the British 
Invasion While It Lasted."   Tho' his accent may have softened
over the years, his presence still brought out all of the closet 
Britons of the PHHH.  It consisted of DNARA, of course, and Ouipee
and Nonsensei who claim to have been brainwashed by the British 
Education system or a derivation thereof. And let's not forget the 
rest of the pack who can recite lines AND act out scenes from Monty 
Python movies. Yes, all in all, a derelict bunch.

The hash was short, compared to Solo's usual marathon training 
standards. In fact, so short that only snippets of the actual trail 
are remembered. One recalls endless fields of corn and baseball: 
kinda like Kevin Costner and his Field of Dreams. One  recalls 
Solo's signature item: long expanses of railway track running.  
One also recalls a dead rabbit and much speculation as to the 
disappearance of Juicy, only 5 minutes into the trail. 

But if the hash was short, the On-In was long and the drive back to 
the Start even longer.

The On-In was conducted with genuine British pomp. There were bad 
reenactments of scenes from "Planet of the Apes" and Monty Python,  
three futile attempts to name Brad  ("Llluiq" "Schrek" and "Dumber" ) 
and down-downs from a salsa lid.  And if that's not enough to numb 
British sensibilities, try envisioning 8 sweaty hashers crammed into 
Solo's car for a 15-20 minute ride (3 in front seat; 4 in the back 
seat and 1 in the trunk).  Yes, yes as aforementioned, a derelict 
bunch.

MEANWHILE, back at the start, Juicy outlines the current state of 
American life, some 200 or so years after Independence.
