HASH HISTORY - HASH RUN #1633 - The Black and Blue Run

Reported by SHOW ME
It was a beautiful early winter day with temps in the 30s when about 15 runners showed up for this run, most of them decked out in the thematic colors of black and blue to commemorate Black Friday and Blue Saturday. At the outset the pack appeared to be composed of about 1/3 hares, which was fine because we all know the old hash axiom, "You can't have too many hares..." And these trail setting hares, RTG and AH SHIT were itchy to get things going for fear of finishing after dark. The run started at CALL GIRL's house and headed out through the immediate neighborhood on the southwest side of town. After a short distance on streets, the first beer check was found off in a bit of shiggy. The trail continued through shiggy then onto the south side bike trail to a second beer check on a railroad bed in the shiggy again. After the railroad bed, the trail headed over and through a frozen woodsy marsh and then onto streets back to the start. The run seemed most difficult for the middle of the pack runners (like this writer) who all too often got caught when at random times, one of the Hares (AH SHIT), would call out "On Back" just when the middle of the pack was about to head onto the true trail, thus causing them to turn back from the true trail. In the end, the trail was about 3 miles long so even with the two beer checks the pack finished well before dark for a change. A great dinner and festivities were held in a large house much too comfortable and dignified for the Hash, but we adjusted. (BTW, the house is for sale, contact CALL GIRL for details.) Even though we were small in number, each person produced twice the usual volume, so we sounded large during ceremonies. After toasting the large group of hares including CALL GIRL, COK SHOP, AH SHIT and RTG, LUCY BALLS was seldom seen with FRBs STIFFY and SHOW ME while the SCB went to STROKES and FECES. There was one new boot, Just Nick who made himself come and he said he liked us! He liked us! A new dangling balls award went to BEER NUTS, who dangled them in everyone's faces. They tasted terrible!!! There was a lot of commotion about the upcoming Barfathon during which the absent WILL HO and JELLY joined via cell phone. Then a huge commotion broke out about what to name our Hungarian runner, Just Tomash. After abusing him for a long time, we didn't name him at all. Ceremonies finally ended after the discovery that the hare owned an EGG BEATER action figure doll. After ceremonies, the hares broke out the Smurf-tinis or Little Blue Drinks. There were various iterations to determine the best blue drink recipe but as time passed everyone's memories were wiped out by the potency of the drinks.
