HASH HISTORY - HASH RUN #1640 - The Yes We (Beer) Can Run

The weather was windy, cold and gray with a threat of flurries for the 25 hashers that showed up for the run set by SHUCK 'N SUCK and KRACKASHOWA that started off High Point Rd. on the far west side. The theme was a pre-inaugural "Yes We (Beer) Can" and several hashers showed up in red, white and blue especially SHUCK 'N SUCK who wore a giant Uncle Sam hat and MONKEY BOY who wore a red, white and blue cape. The trail was well marked despite the wind gusts and drifting snow. The pack headed east then north at the start but was soon directionless on the winding streets that meander throughout the west side. At several points, the FRBs got so far ahead that others at the back of the pack had to search for the true trail on their own. The hares made good use of a combination of streets, bike trails and park walkways. Throughout the run, most of the pack had no idea where they were and the walkers at the back were turning into a present day Donner Party. After a reasonable distance, the pack found a BN mark and hopeful signs of a beer check at the home of ASTI SPEW MOUNTIE and CRACK HO. This was a great place for a beer check and most hashers saw no reason to leave... except the hares promised another alcohol check not far away. Sure enough... after just a short distance in the driving, blowing snow, the pack found three bottles of liqueur, one red, one blue and one... clear (white). After killing all three bottles the pack continued on to the finish back at the start. The On-On was at KRACKASHOWA's house where the hares served plenty of great food and beer. Ceremonies were conducted in the basement (just where they should be) and highlights included the hares, seldom seen URINATOR and TINKLE TOES, new boot Just John who claimed no one made him cum, and a furnace inspection down-down for BARELY and CAPTAIN KA KA. Guess what they were doing during most of ceremonies. As things broke up, COCK SHOP showed up and a highfalutin discussion of KRACKA's artwork ensued.
