==========================================================================

Hey Pyro:
 
You're lucky you missed this one. The only thing little about this 
Hash was the amount of flour on the trail. The entire run took 2:25 and 
with all of the checks (back and forth and back and forth) I'm guessing 
it was about 8 miles. A mini Hard Core in Princeton. I enjoyed it though. 
Just needed maybe a pound or 2 more flour, especially at the checks.
 
~ET.

Mark Cebula was first to keg.

He even tried to help find the pack - he did so while paddling furiously 
through the canal in a yellow boat that fits in his Civic.

By the time we saw him again it was dark and he was wet. He started yelling 
for Wacko so I thought I better go see what he was yelping about.

It turns out he works with Quack'nBush and Wacko.

It turns out he hashed once in 1982.

It turns out he hashed once in 1999.

It turns out he never got a hash name - but was almost named Mark Cicada.

It turns out that he even had a beer with us in the parking lot.

It turns out that he even paid $2.

It turns out that I didn't have the heart to tell him of our new fiscal 
policy.

It turns out that he won't be turning out again anytime soon - he'd going 
under the knife because he tore his meniscus. When asked why he did such 
a thing, he had no good answer. 

==========================================================================
I had 2 more water breaks than the actual Hot Core.
a) golf course.
b) tennis courts.
c) Geezer's old spigot.

Pity I failed to place an R in the check at 87 (or in the one on Geezer's 
round stone in his old backyard). My failure to do so made for losing IS and 
Queef - who were reeled in ahead of the pack.

==========================================================================
This hash could have been dubbed "Dark Core".
It felt to me that Paully may have been paying back Euro for the Hot Core.
The beginning of the course was beautiful, especially cutting across the 
live golf course.
It seemed as though Paully was running low on flour and that each mark was 
considered to be a check.
I liked one comment from Wrangler as we decended into shiggy in the dark 
after the canal paths: "What's the overall
psychological profile of this hare?" To which one reply was: "There really 
is no one definable profile. Think
of Forrest Gump in a Tarzan outfit."
I liked all of the dark humor and dark beer at the ON IN.
Meeting an old time Princeton hasher in the parking lot lent another dark 
undercurrent to this outing.
He was therefore named "Dark Rider".

Cloaked in darkness,

Cliffy
