HASH HISTORY - HASH RUN #1632 - The COLONEL's Frigging Mystic Turkey Run

About 20 hashers showed up for the Thanksgiving Hash set by COL MUSTARD's co-harers RD and TRIED SEX-A-LOT. (The COL was busy directing the post run meal preparation by his naked-boy kitchen staff.) The weather was cool and brisk but better than predicted for the start at Stoughton Hospital on the big hill near downtown Stoughton. There was some waiting around at the start since the hares had gotten disconnected. The run got underway and headed up hill around the hospital, then down through some shiggy and back lots in town. The trail meandered through area streets before heading northeast to the edge of town for a beer check along highway B. The trail continued north out of town, and after some confusing marks and more confusion among the pack, across a cornfield and into more shiggy. The pack was getting spread out by this time and like the previous week, a few hashers lost site of the main pack and the true trail. The main pack returned from a long back check and ducked into the woods on a gravel trail. They took this along the north edge of town until they were east of the hospital, then headed back to the start. By the time the JFL group arrived there was no one to be seen. They ran through the back check and by sheer will power and dumb luck, paralleled the true trail and met RD, one of the hares, looking for the main pack and seeming kinda... what's that word...lost!!! Nevertheless, RD pointed the JFLs in the right direction and they all made it back to the start. It was getting dark so there was a minor effort to account for everyone as everyone formed a car caravan to head to the COL's for the On-On. There was a great feast under preparation at the On-On with the help of UNDERTOKER, TRIED SEX-A-LOT, WILL HO and others, and the Badgers were on TV, on the losing end to some minor league team. The Badgers won in overtime and ceremonies were conducted before the big meal. The highlight was a phone call to Alaska to include ICUF in a down-down hash song, "Why Was She Born So Beautiful" that ended with a few hashers mooning the phone and SHOW ME getting her butt so close to the phone that ICUF could hear the mooning. The feast that followed was fabulous and everything went perfectly well. There were several people who eventually had to take naps but the hoopla continued with beer still coming out of the wall, more food, desert, the clothing optional, outdoor hot tub, a great new sauna, and general carrying-on.
