PPHHH #888.4 Date: July 3, 2002 Weather: Think of Alec Guinness in the iron box in The Bridge on the River Kwai Venue: Pennington Circle ShopRite to some Hopewell McMansion development to the northwest Time: 1 hour 20 minutes Hare: Hand Solo Hounds: Dancing Fool, Weepee, Nothin' Stuck, Hey Yo! Paully, Throatwarbler Mangrove No Women, So Cry On his second Princeton hash, Nothin' Stuck was sorely tested by the absence of women and a trademark Solo set, which Hand thoughtfully cut short on account of the weather. Nonetheless, we partook of 2 miles of the Hopewell line railroad track, trudged up Route 31 for another mile, and tramped about on Old Scotch Road for 2 miles more before arriving at the luxurious homes-to-be of retiring Arthur Andersen and Worldcom executives, interior decor courtesy of Martha Stewart. The highlight of the hash was either Hand's use of a tennis ball to mark pavement and rail ties, or the four woodchucks seen scurrying down a hill by Dancing Fool. The on-in was lamentable for numerous reasons. Solo recalled that back in '94 (1994, that is) when he last passed this way, the on-in site was untouched by human hands. He also regretted the absence of Vienna Fingers (a name in search of a hasher) but showed no remorse whatsoever for the copious amount of soda water available. Instead of further poetic recitations, the hare announced his intention of applying for a PHHH Foundation grant to buy a bike, with which to set even longer A-B road hashes. This is an even better excuse to blow the Foundation's endowment on a hash-cash bash for Llloda on July 24. Weapij did his 151st hash down-down from the salsa lid, and Nuttin' Stuck said he'd be back, just not for Solo's sets. Thus Uranus Williams has a replacement of a sort, tho' I've met Uranus and can sincerely say Uranus is way prettier.
