HASH HISTORY - HASH RUN #1595 -BYOB (Bring Your Own BLING) Run

Meet near the dumpsters and Bling It On On! About 30 hashers including visitor, I FELL TOWER from the Big Hump Hash, gathered in their best sequins, rhinestones, faux fur, and imitation jewels for this run with four beer checks. The theme was so rich with blinginalian texture that it spilled over into a sort of "pimps and hos" theme as well. The trail headed off immediately onto a long backcheck before returning to Woodman's and heading into the nearby neighborhood. After a bit of urban icy street dancing, BEER NUTS found an abandoned trash bin complete with a sign reading "Help I'm Lost" and if we are to believe the photos, LORENA and BLOW WHOLE spent some "private time" together inside the bin. Shortly after this, the pack found the first beer check in the form of a barrel of beer in the back of HIGH STOOL's SUV parked in HEAVE HO's driveway. After a pleasant amount of beering the pack headed out to look for marks and a few followed UNDERTOKER's delerious shouts of "On-On" when he thought he found the trail. UNDIE was giddy with excitement after all, let's be honest, he is not typically the FRB. Funny thing though, he was so excited and confused that he didn't notice he was running back on the same trail marks that everyone followed to get to the beer check in the first place. Others attempted to call him back, but the small group that followed him were undaunted and refused to believe they were not the FRBs at that point in time. The true trail continued through the neighborhood and over the Highway 51 pedestrian bridge for a "Bling Check" and on to the second rolling beer check in HIGH STOOL's driveway. There were no lost trash bins here though, so the pack continued on their way into, up and over the HUGE hill at Heistand park, and after a bit of meanderment, to the third rolling beer check on the other side. From there the trail skirted the park and headed back down Milwaukee Street toward the start. Some hashers apparently lost count of the beer checks and just headed back to their cars. The more clever in the pack hunted for the fourth and final BC, and found it at a bar just short of the Highway 51 underpass. There they found a few "even more clever" hashers, LORENA CARROT, BLOW WHOLE and STROKES, who looked as though they had been there all afternoon. The On-On was back at HIGH STOOL's house where there was some great pan baked enchatacozagna and salad, TRAILER's fabulous, hand-dipped, liquored-up cherries, and plenty of beer in a barrel. Highlights of ceremonies included the hares, a good-bye to RUDE YARD who is returning to Egypt, a good mooning to several new boots including RUDE YARD's son BEN DOVER who was visiting, several seldom seens, a toast to 3 BANGHER's hot and naughty twin sister who kept claiming she had lip balm in her pants, a sexpot dance-off between WHITE CLIFFS and UNDIE, and finally a big birthday down-down and song for TRAILER and WHITE CLIFFS.
