PHHH #933.2 Date: Sunday May 11, 2003 Weather: Warm, cloudy, and lacking in hailstones Place: Sauerlands State Park Time: 69 minutes (Hunnh. . . hunh . . . he wrote 69.") Hares: Captain Lame-O and Lady MacBeth Hounds: Hand Solo, Geezer, Steve aka Salsa Bitch, Ouipee, Bjorn Dork, Brain Injury Volunteer, Monica not Lewinsky, Hey YO! Paully The Big Rock Candy Mountain (attributed to Harry "Haywire Mac" McClintock and popularized most recently in "O Brother Can You Hear Me Now") Oh, a hasher and a hare, They were on the run To Sauerlands they were bounding Said Lame-O to his girl, "Why don't we set On that big rock candy mountain?" So the very next day They drove away, The mileposts they were counting And Lady MacBeth cried At the lemonade tide On the Big Rock Candy Mountain. Oh the buzzin' of the bees In the hickory trees Near the Poland Springs fountain Where the deer tick sings At the lemonade springs On the Big Rock Candy Mountain. In the Big Rock Candy Mountain, It's a land that's fair and bright, The pickles grow on bushes And you pass out every night. The dumpsters all are empty And it's cloudy every day I'm bound to go Where there ain't no snow Where the hail don't fall And the winds don't blow In the Big Rock Candy Mountain. In the Big Rock Candy Mountain Geezer has wooden legs The hashers all have rubber feet And the hares roast real hot dogs The forest trees are full of fruit And the deer all hold their turds I'm bound to go Where there ain't no snow Where the hail don't fall And the winds don't blow In the Big Rock Candy Mountain. In the Big Rock Candy Mountain You never change your socks And little streams of alkyhol Come trickling down the rocks O the trees all have to shout their marks And the park rangers are blind There's a lake of brew And Gatorade too And you can paddle All around it in a big canoe In the Big Rock Candy Mountain That evening as the sun went down And the propane fire was burning, Down the trail came Salsa Bitch hiking, He said, "Guys, I'm not turning I'm heading for a land that's far away Tibet's better than Princeton I'll see you all this coming fall In the Big Rock Candy Mountain." Heard at the on-in: "I told Monica we could do it in the dark." -- Salsa Bitch, explaining how he and an older woman tracked down the on-in and free beer the night after Bjorn Dork's debacle on 927.2. Also heard at the on-in: "She only had to do it once." -- Salsa Bitch, now flailing helplessly in a sea of double entendres.
