HASH HISTORY - HASH RUN #1648

The 50 Furlong Race Director EGG BEATER and a host of hash volunteers once again pulled off a successful 50 Furlong Race. Sixty-nine (69, Heavie) runners participated in the run and the Hash awards went to FRB: Ultra Smut 36:11, Hash Shit: Dribbles In For walking back from the mid point, instead of waiting for a ride. 1:23:69, and JFL: Show Me 71:10. Other hashers on run were Cornholio 39:41, Feces Peeces 39:01, Ron Mexico aka Ready Prick o Watt 40:17, 3 Holer & Just John 49:02, Mean Beaver 50:19, and Shuck n Suck 51:46. Thanks to all who helped and ran!!!

After directing the 50 Furlong, EGG BEATER was the hare for the afternoon hash run. About 20 hashers including a new boot and some visitors from the Ann Arbor Michigan hash showed up in the parking lot of Buffalo Wild Wings of McKee Road for this run. This was a good turnout since a number of regulars like WET WILLIE, AH SHIT, RTG, BABY BALLS, ZAMBONEHER and maybe others were at the green dress run in St. Louis. The weather was warming and sunny so there was considerable snowmelt and mud to slog through. The hare announced there would be a reward if anyone found his GPS gizmo that he lost while setting the trail. EGG set the trail with yellow and orange, eco friendly street paint so there was great confusion at the start since the area has been marked many times by construction crews. With some guidance from the hare the pack eventually found the trail that headed southeast up a nearly vertical and muddy hillside. The trail continued along the crest of the hill then down through mud and shiggy to a beer check at Ten Pin Alley bowling parlor. From there the route headed further west through even more shiggy and mud. Along the way one of the Michigander hashers found the GPS device while milling around trying to find the trail marks. The hare was following in his truck and once again had to provide assistance. Eventually everyone made it back to the parking lot and a special session of ceremonies was conducted right on the spots. The hare provided O'Doul's nonalcoholic beer and shot of alcoholic Jamieson's whiskey for the circle, claiming this was the Southern California Clydesdale Hash tradition for St. Patrick's weekend. After an efficiently run awards ceremony, the pack was invited into the Wild Buffalo Wings for a beer and wings On-On.
