ReHash #227

Date: Tue, 28 Jan 1997 21:32:54 -0500

Sorry this is soooo late getting out, but I've been away & when I returned, I had to get into the swing of the new semester. Anyway, here goes as I remember it....

Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away... oops! Wrong story!

Four score and seven years ago... Nope, thats not it! Hang on, I know its in here somewhere

...She slowly undid his shirt caressing ever so... NO,NO,NO! WAIT, I know!

Van Donsell road. Yep, thats what the directions say, but this can't be it! Theres nothing back here but a bunch of fools with their cars stuck in the mud! Oh wait, this IS it. A live hash began the 227th as hares Skull and Might he Blow took off in opposite directions. Someone decided to follow Skull (probably because he'd be the one to let someone catch him) He led us on a roundabout through the finger lakes trails, skirting ponds, dirt roads, and pine boughs untill we reached the second leg of the hash. On-on through the Hill formerly known as Greek Peak Ski Resort (with an emphasis on the word 'ski'). There was very little snow that day although we did find enough to rub our legs and other extremeties raw. On-on back into the woods and around and about with surprisingly few injuries considering the treachery of the slopes. Finally (to quote one of my favorite dittys) O'er the river and through the woods to the most run down looking, out in the middle of nowherest, nice on the inside place I've chanced to on-in at. Down-downs were given, Awards were exchanged, and there was much rejoicing. Then Bam-Bam was nice enough to allow an On-On-In at his humble abode (and there was much rejoicing).
Hash Awards:
... aw damn, I dont remember.

PS can anyone do the ReHash for the 228th since I was out of town? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I know I'm a little slow on these...but too bad! (kidding)

ReHash #229
Upper Buttermilk Falls National Park.

Just listen to these testimonials!
   "One of the most dangerous hashes to date"

   "I laughed, I cried..."

   "It was better than Cats!"

Running? Almost killing ourselves! We began the hash at upper buttermilk where yours truly lost his keys! Fortunately for the hash, someone else found them (of course he 'forgot' to tell me that he found them until after the hash) hence the hash got a good laugh out of it I'm sure. Running down into the woods we found the embankment becoming more and more steep and more and more icy until we reached the bottom of a waterfall (with a big crash), scenic and pristene in it's wintery glory. No sooner did we wipe the snow and dirt off of ourselves than did those nutty hares drive us up the other side of the hill and who the heck would have thought to bring climbing gear! At probably close to an eighty degree climb, most of us who didn't die trying managed to make it to the top, including several dogs! After a short respite, we proceeded on trail to a diabolical back check sending us down and then right back up "that long and windy road to ruin" (actually I think that road led to Ithaca, hmm... oh well.) Through the Park lands again we all trustingly followed the park trail marked "CLOSED Due To Icy Conditions" and luckily no one died there either. The on-in was at Vibrators new Hacienda and there was much drinking, stumbling, shouting, and other unmentionables that transpired (including jushaad yelling something to the tune of "GET THAT THING OUT OF MY ASS!" but we won't go into detail as to what that was all about. We had some relatively new hashers join us. Our thanks to any new hashers and I hope that you'll all come again.

Until next time,
Calvin

As Dr. Climax was not in attendance at hash 22?, I have taken it upon myself to temporarily assume my previous role as Hash Scribe.

Note and Legal Disclaimer:
   All information included the document to follow, herein referred to as "the rehash", is the truth. The term "truth" is subject to the definition, wills and ills of the author, Broken Pole. As all information is truthful, it is subject to be entered into IH3 history and lore and maybe used in the creation of names and assignment of penalties.

   -Broken Pole, esq. (J.D. Cornell University, 1993. Degree stripped 1994)

   A gray and wintry day at Taghanic Falls set the scene for the hash. As hashers arrived on the scene, Trojan and Rides for Free were still setting the hash BY CAR. Bam Bam announced the usual rules to virgin hashers, and immediately hare Trojan informed the shivering mass of harriers that the rules were as useful as a nose on one's ass. By way of note, if any of you share the standard query of Bill, yes, "women were there". The hashers were instructed that they were to make there way from one destination to another by hook or by crook, where they would be rewarded with candy and beer, because, as all know, they way to a hashers heart is through a funnel.
   The second stop on the run was the warming hut atop a sledding hill. As Women There? and Broken Pole pitifully walked up the sledding hill, they were surprised to see Captain Weenie sliding down the hill on a garbage bag. While this does not seem too loony, the fact that he was stark naked was enough to turn the heads of more than a few sledders. Frighteningly, the cold air was enought to make Captain Weeny point to the North Star. The beer was enjoyed on the hill, but the hashers then realized it was necessary to return down the hill and the most efficient way to accomplish this would be by sled. Trojan and Rides For Free again could not pass up the opportunity to hitch hike. Trojan jumped atop of a 12 year old sledder and yelled "onward boy" and down the hill they proceeded like Jack and Jill. It was rumored that Trojan lost and crown, but his young steed was found suffering with broken ribs. Rides For Free spurred on her teen-aged driver with aggressive use of a riding crop producing considerable bruising a gash above the youngster's eye. Like hashers in a urinal, the teenagers were left to fester and rot, and the harriers continued onward. There next stop: the falls themselves.
   As those hashers fleet of foot gazed upon the beauty of the falls their eyes and ears were distracted by Tim standing atop the frozen falls hollering as he peed a full 150 feet downward. All onlookers agreed that he got some great arc. Others tried to repeat this impressive performance, but slipped and fell to their deaths. Undeterred, the remaining hashers returned to the north pavilion beside the lake to address the issue of the On-In.
   Accusations were taken, but this was cut short as there was a sighting of False Erection. He could not be caught, but our German friend was seen to have grabbed Nelson's ass. The down-downs proceeded in an unusual fashion, that being that our lyrical serenades were sung with a virtual absence of profanity. The reason for this was the presence of IH3's youngest hasher, 7 year old Alex Broomfield, daughter of Slaps the Puck. Thankfully we were at least out of tune. Bam Bam received a down-down for wearing new shoes. He tried explain his way out of this award by offering an odd excuse involving a midget, a donkey, and considerable nudity, but his arguments did not stand. Despite weather conditions that would make a polar bear get SNE (Spontaneous Nipple Erection), Hot and Juicy was wearing shorts and therefore was awarded the Horse's Ass. Ramelotions, Blue Butt and False Orgasm, in a long awaited return to the hash, were awarded down-downs for diving into the cold lake to track down and kill a duck which they eventually roasted over the fire and ate. No belly dancing was observed by Falsett-O, much to the distress of Women There?.

ReHash #231

It was unbeleivably hot that day. I awoke smelling the sweet aroma of flowers in bloom and hearing the finches chattering softly at my window as the sun shone in. Then I realized I was still dreaming and woke up with a start, alas, still in Ithaca and nearly late for the hash (or so I thought.) I grabbed my breeches and ran out the door like a flash, not realizing I had forgotten the directions to the Hash. I drove on anyway figuring I'd find another poor soul who was lagging behind. Sure enough there was one up ahead like a bat out of hell, to catch him I sped. Unfortunately for me he drove like two bats out of hell! (sure enough, none other than Skull.) Which brings me to the hash.

Damn Cold. Damn Wet. Damn Hung-over. Damn Back check! Damn Hash! The hares took us through a minefield laden with killer cow-chips and through the trenches and barbed wire. The feirce winds ever biting at us we persevered at came out victorious. The on-in, short and sweetled me to feel as though the reHash should be the same.

Until Next time,

ReHash #232

Date: Tue, 18 Mar 1997 20:09:26 -0500

Disclaimer: All spelling, grammar, and factual inacuracies are the fault of St. Patrick's Day festivity residuals.
The hash began with a sighting of several hashers thought to be deceased. 'Women there?' was reported to have turned absolutely ashen with fright after seeing them. Along went the hash through Cornell's Plantations and beyond. Several Leperchauns were reported spotted but further inspection revealed mass hallucinations due to the pungent odor of someones foul-smelling socks (no doubt!) Apparently the hares who have been going ice-skating recently wanted to prove their proficiency on this chilled medium and so set a reckless iced path along a treacherously steep cliff (of course it wouldn't be a hash without someone getting hurt!) The trail, mysteriously largely along public roadways gave the sneaky suspicion to many that auto-hashing had occured (that and the large amounts of flour on the rear weelwells of a certain hare's truck) Ribbed, wearing a fine green dress is now filing a sexual harrasment suit against an unnamed hasher who apparently asked him out too many times. Remember guys, No-No means No! (its not just on-on backwards) The hash ended at 'Women There?''s house and after down-downing (heavy) dark beer, everyone was lulled into deep comas and some had not even revived by the next day for the St. Patrick's Day festivities. And that laddies, is the truth!

Hammond Hill Hash # 233
Snow on the ground and a chill in the air made it difficult to beleive that spring was upon us but, taking into consideration that this is Ithaca, it was understandable. The trail, well marked, would have undoubtably been revered by Art who is so fond of a cherry Kool-Aid(R) trail. Had False Erection, or Broken Pole been there, I might have been inclined to join them for a refreshing dip in the pond found along the trail and then basked in the sun on the dock but alas they too were absent. I was quite daunted that other former "regulars" such as Blue-Butt didn't show, so much in fact, that I took a gratuitous spill for them. Skull was unpresent and missed the goodies which I am quite certain he would have enjoyed. Those who were there, The few, The Proud, The (insane?) fought the biting wind, the icy conditions, the innumerable false trails (see note) and the urge to swim in the pond and to go under the dock (despite the warning) and were rewarded for it (some more than others.)

Note:
I fear that the hashers are becoming spoiled. Premium Beer and fine cheeses, nuts, bread, and... CORN NUTS! They have lived the good life and it pains me to see them no longer checking out the false trails, no longer leaving the check points after the fifth has arrived, no longer leaving the hash rest until picked up and prodded. Now all they want is beer and goodies on trail, and a smorgasbord afterwards. Are we not hashers? Perhaps we can have the next hash catered by a 1st class caterer, we'll all dress in formal attire, and speak like Thurston Howell from Gilligan's Island and eat tiny sandwiches and baby corn and fish eggs. Perhaps we'll do a hash using limousines or just get someone else to run while we sing songs and drink beer, no, how about champagne. Actually, I think I may have something here!

ReHash #234

Date: Fri, 11 Apr 1997 12:04:53 -0400 (EDT)

Well, since the next hash directions are already out, I suppose last weeks rehash is overdue.

For those who didn't come, they missed a good hash. People came from as far away as Germany and New York City to behold this event! It was all inclusive (getting wet, getting muddy, getting tired, getting drunk, getting lost, getting hurt...etc). It began in Lansing at the High School and went up through the woods, track and field, a playground, up a hill, through a field, on the road (of course we auto-hashed!(wouldn't you?!?))through the woods, across creeks, swimming in a pond (and getting stranded in the middle on a tube). We also had the honor of hosting for the worlds youngest hasher, Bill's son, Chris at 10 yrs, he ran the whole thing! Much unlike a normal hash, however, we asked... what's it called?... permission to cross through some peoples yards and were rewarded by H2O Down-Downs of which young Chris evidently couldn't wait for the on-in and gave himself about three! And that was the hash, sorry if you missed it!

No Shiggy at Shindagen

    While this author did not encounter much shiggy this past Sunday, but, it did not stop IH3 from having riotous fun at the hollow. Hares Women There? Rebecca, and Bat Girl were reported to have scouted out the territory days in advance and did a good job at that. Testicle Ice Rider was an intended hare but he spent the day sheperding Roadkill's flock of sheep. Hilarity was had even before the first "on, on" as Nape and Cherry Patch ventured into the woods for relief, but found little due to Women There? constantly crying out "We can still see you".
    An uphill start was had but this did not stop some hashers from showing overexuberence with rapid feet. Graham seemed to be on cat nip for the entire hash as he was seen from scouting out false trails, sprinting, creating his own trails, and ripping plants out of the ground with his teeth. Snarling was often heard from the geologists but this was attributed to chemical reactions between the rock heads and some unique mica suspended in the water. Rumours (     IH3 eventually encountered a 30 armed psi (checkpoint?), one arm of which was scouted by Broken Pole, Road Kill, Phil McCrackin, and Wet and Sticky. This had neither a third mark nor did it end with an X so Sticky concluded it was a massive short-cut and persuaded the others to pursue it. It lead to nowhere and all continued on a leisurely run, but Pole, who tried to recatch the pack of wild animals (dogs not included) as he recalled promises of danger ahead by Women There?. Pole found his own danger running across the topo lines finding some wonderful ascents and descents, though he never recaught the hash. A four mile short-cut, inspired by a chance encounter with Bat Girl, put Pole ahead of the hash.
    Though not with the hash, Pole somehow had a telepathic link with the harriers and is therefore able to tell of the other "truths" that took place on the run. Oddness started when Nape who leapt atop Bam Bam's back and rode him down the trail yelling "Move it Male Dog!" as she spanked poor Bam Bam's butt. As this call briefly reminded False Orgasm of the popular, but erroneous conclusion that all men are scum, she immediately began to throttle poor Bob with a stick until blood shot 4 feet out of his eye-sockets and Katie was required to save him. Katie really just wanted the stick. A free for all arose in a swampy region of the woods and Alex's plea of "Can't we all just get along" was answered by all, as he was pounded 3 feet into the soggy ground. He was left for the buzzards.
    There was a shaking of hands and the bloody troupe marched down the trail singing Peter Cottentail for some unknown reason and glee filled the harriers souls on the approach the boy's reform school. It took Women There a full half hour to convince a guard that he was not an escapee and it was not helpful to Mr. There's cause, that Bubbles pointed to the Skull Tattoo and referred to the detainee as a "Bad Boy". Rrrrrrralph! employed her legal skills and had Women There? released.
    It was then that a familiar voice was heard to yell inside the "prison", "Come back little boy, I was a valedictorian at UNC!" We now know why Peewee has not been hashing lately. At this time Skull arrived and provided a timely update regarding Roadkill's whereabouts and it had something to do with being in the presence of the yak-like cows down the road. No one pressed for more details.
    The hash finished as a footrace won by Graham, for which he enjoyed a yummy down-down at Skull's place. The fashion statement of the weekend was made by Andre (Pop-up?) by wearing a sweater throughout the hash.
    After the on-in a small group comprised of Pole, Hungman, Skull, Swing-low, Phil McCrackin, Easy Access, and Women There? made way to The Chariot in order to fulfill there wishes of being offensive in public. Swing Low and Skull did not hold back as they sang, at full volume (this is no exaggeration), songs that would embarrass pimps and prostitutes. Being prudish, and therefore not truly genuine hashers, Pole, McCrackin, and Women There? (oh, please oh, please let there be women there!) raced to the bar for hard liquor as this was the only way they could protect their prisitine souls, but as a result, they found themselves swimming around the bottom of a few glasses. Skull, Hungman, SwingLow, and Access joined into the Mind Eraser races which further greased the joints of these celebrants. A dart game followed and to Pole's pleasure, the darts sailed aloft the melodic notes of Willie Nelson as they made there way to the board. Most dart flew errantly, but this was largely due to forward actions of Access as she tried to make Pole and SwingLow miss at least two out of three throws as the penalty for such awful hurling was dropping ones shorts. -Yes, we were still in The Chariot-. At one point Swing Low was heard to shout to our waitress Rachel, "Hey, do you want to see Andy's underwear". The prudish Pole made her turn her back.
    Skull was later found near passed out on his bathroom floor. It appears that Skull and SwingLow's earlier efforts at killing the keg had quite an effect on the slighter of the two hashers.

Has everyone seen the movie Deliverance with Ned Beatty and Burt Reynolds? It supposedly took place in South Carolina but I think it took place right at Conneticut Hill State Forest!! I think Capt. Weenie was playing the part of Ned Beatty but he got his parts mixed up as he was complaining of a leg injury (That was Burt Reynold's part.) Weenie was supposed to have a sore butt. Speaking of Butts, Two namings were ironically Woodwacker(Lee) and Back Door Boy(not Ned Beatty). Although we were in the Woodcock and Pheasant preserve, the only wildlife I saw were two rednecks who looked conspicuously like the actors in Deliverance and undoubtably are the real reason for Back Door Boy's naming. Throughout the run I kept hearing this Banjo (bidling ding ding ding ding ding ding) and I thought to myself "HOW BIZARRE!!" Fortunately, unlike the movie, there were no casualtys although like the movie, all of the survivors came out different people, only half sane. I know that night I woke up screaming and in a cold sweat, How about you?

Thanks to all the Rochester Hashers who visited and constituted nearly half of our turnout. If you see Condom Failure, Clinger, Suresh, Nurse Ratshit, Dick Tease or anyone else I forgot to mention, give them a hearty On-On!

Until Next time,
CK

Greetings Hashers!

While I certainly lack the Hash scribe's gift for lies and innuendo, I was present at (most of) the last Hash, and therefore feel qualified to offer my brief summary of our escapades...

On the last day of summer, a sunny, crisp September day, 30 intrepid Hashers gathered eagerly at the Taughannock overlook to see what danger Hot Lips could spit out. The beautiful Fall weather (perfect for Hashing) had attacted several new faces.

Unfortunately, yours truly was not among them. Clara and I were slowly wending our way down Taughannock Boulevard, with Phil McCracken tailgating wildly behind us trying to avoid Blab-hood. Unfortunately for Phil, only one road leads to Taugannock Park.

Using our keen senses, we were able to track the faint trail left by 30 large mammals bushwacking through the forest (though, admittedly, the toots from HotLips horn did help...) We tracked our quarry up a vertical cliff of living mud! Perhaps it was here that Capt. Weenie donned his fetching off-one-shoulder outercoat of mud??

Our wily hares led us on an extended tour of the Park hitting many highlights -- to long views of Cayuga Lake, past deadly mushrooms, by vines of tasty wild grapes, through terrifying bat-infested tunnels. (Apparently several Park-goers reported hearing the blood-curdling screams of Hashers as they were attacked by these vicious and rabid beasts). And no report of our Hash would be complete without mention of Roadkill's attempt to win our coveted fashion award - he was dressed in a delightful neon green shirt with matching gloves (dyed to match, no doubt).

Well, there was more but that's all I remember now. On-on...

Ithaca HHH 250th Run

I attended the Ithaca 250th hash yesterday. Good turnout. Hashers from Rochester and Syracuse were in attendance and of course there were a few Ithaca hashers there too. The run started at 2:30 or so. The early arrivals were kept entertained by the slipping and sliding of everyone else as they attempted to negotiate the frozen backroad leading to the start of the run. The run started out normal enough. Then we were stopped mid-hash by a bunch of hunters that were just a little pissed that we were running around yelling ON-ON! whilst crossing their private land and interrupting their killing. Skull talked us out of it and we eventually got back on our way. I got a picture of the hash with the hunters. The hash included a frozen water crossing. The ice creaked and cracked all the way across. There was a check in the middle of the pond. I went the wrong way of course.

At the ON-IN there were 30+ hashers packed into Skull's small apartment. Great party, especially the naked snow angels that some of the hash women (and men, but who cares) made outside. By the time the night was over we were all wading through a mass of peanut shells and pretzels that had accumulated on the floor. Later in the evening after ample beers, Skull started giving away his "extra" hash t-shirts. If I didn't already have 20 or 30 myself, I would have grabbed one. The only requirement was that you had to put the shirt on right then. Note that the rule was only enforced for the women. He also demonstrated a solo butt-chug to those that hadn't seen one before. I don't think anyone will ask again. Beer run at about 8. The keg was dead and so was all of Skull's personal beer... and wine. I was the last to leave his trashed Apt. We spent the last 1/2 hour discussing all the hash women that we collectively lust over. 1.5 hours later, with no traffic stops I arrived safely at home.

I'll leave it up to someone else to describe the other activities that occurred at the ON-IN. Such as the body shots, the Belly Button lint collection, Gonna Blow doing something with her velvet undies that I missed 'cause I was outside at the time. Why did Calvin Climax have Vibrator's shirt on? Who really spit beer on Bubbles and blamed it on me? Bam Bam's secret plan to have 250 down-downs at the 250th run. etc.

All in all, I considered the event a very good investment of my time... and brain cells.

ON-OUT,

Ball Wrinkle
