PHHH #987.9 Date: May 9, 2004 Weather: Indian spring Place: Mapleton Road D&R Canal to PPPL to St. J Seminary Time: 65 minutes Hare: Wipyj Hounds: Geezer, Hey YO! Paully, Caleb Howe nka Homoerotic Tick Checking, Bjorn Dork, Premature Graduation, Nuttin Stuck, Brian Hudson-Harvard Sucks III (2nd hash), Monica (2nd hash, see #928.3) Seen on the hash: lotsa frogs, no eagles Leave it to Weapea Well, we can't leave it to Geezer, since he's neglected the write-up of another sparkling ad hominem set by Ouipee, who seems to be mastering the art of laying trail after 200-plus hashes. This one led to the brandnew bald eagle reservation between Mapleton Road and Route 1 immediately south of Sayre Drive. Never deterred by warnings of dairy farm owners, toxic wasters, quarrymen, Pashtun landowners, or Clem, the hash this time worked its way around the perimeter of the half-acre preserve before tunneling under Route 1 and climbing the highest point east of the Plasma Lab for Zorgonistic Physics and heading into the lovely mature beech wood beyond. All, of course, but HYP, who went for the obvious if nonexistent feint 2 miles south past the FMC guards to Sarnoff. The pack meantime came to a check: ahead lay nasty shiggy and three marks requiring walking on all fours through deer shit. Left lay marks to the clearing to the proton power supply line to the PPPL. Which would you take? Well, if you're suffering from the Mother's Day mumblies like Geezer, or the burden of being America's best and brightest like most of the rest of the pack, you leave the part part of your dorsal epidermis on the thorns until you find a mark on the power tower and then express great irritation that marks don't continue in the same direction. Ultimately the pack of little brain found the trail and a great many frogs along the streambed, cooled its collective heels, met the hare sunning himself, visited the Zorgon-Plasma Alliance, and recrossed Rt. 1 over Scudder's Mill Road. Considerable milling ensued after the pack traversed the Mapleton Nurseries. "Look, he's practically out of flour," Geezer correctly observed. "He can't possibly go through the construction site--go straight," he incorrectly induced. For there, in the heart of Princeton's latest set of McTownhouses, under massive pieces of indescribably ancient 200 million year-old Triassic brownstone, lay, quite inexplicably, the 2-year-old Walmart cooler, in naked rebuttal of Charles Lyell's principle of stratigraphic succession and threatening to throw the entire profession of geology into irreversible chaos. Nonetheless, Geezer regained some prestige by removing the on-in to the lawn of the brothers, where Dork, Caleb, and PG, in the fullness of their youthful masculinity, took up Weepea's warnings, stripped to the waist and checked each other's gleaming torsos for ticks. O Rojo, our lamented Grande Dominatrix! What you're missing in the Boy Toy department--this is a promising crop!
