Houston Hash House Harriers

Hares: Letch and Old Faithful

In celebration of their birthdays, Letch and Old Faithful held their annual Reboot Reunion Run, with help from Will He Peter.  Hashers came out of the woodwork, 85 total… a significant showing for a summer run in the Houston heat.

Start time was at 5pm for this pre-laid trail, and Old Faithful was running late.  She did more before 9am than most people do all day.  We met behind the Center for Hearing and Speech at Shepherd and Allen Parkway where there was prelube beer, shade, water guns for mischievous hashers, and oh so refreshing misting fans.

Hares: Ball Barker, Bend-A-Ho, Chorizo Polico and Just Fernando

Pull The Plug has posted pictures of the Father’s Day/Summer Solstice Hash at this link.

Hares: Ball Barker, Bend-A-Ho, Chorizo Polico and Just Fernando

The hares were Ball Barker, Bend-A-Ho, Chorizo Polico and Just Fernando for this “lengthy” northeast side run. The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year, but thank God for the periodic cloud cover and warm breeze! The fact that it was Father’s Day and that these guys’ reputation preceded them kept the crowd down to a minimum… around 40.

We gathered at McArthur High School on Aldine Mail Route and headed to the southwest. The trail followed park trails through Keith Weiss Park and along Halls Bayou, which was, IMHO, a very pleasant run, less the sewer odor at Hopper, followed by the skunk smell of reefer. Maybe that explains our mellow mood later in the day. On-on for more…

Hare: Nice Jugs

Here’s Hooter’s trace of the Galveston H3 trail of about 4 miles laid by the Hare, Nice Jugs, celebrating his birthday. Start was on northeast corner of I-45 (Gulf Fwy) at Hwy 518 in League City.

If you zoom in, you can see where the trail ended for our circle in the park just before the 4.0 mile mark. After the circle in the park (cans of Coors & Lone Star), we walked through a gap in the fence and along the street (past the 4.0 mile mark) to the pool and keg of Shiner and mini-keg of blonde Lone Pint (getting Hooter’s endorsement) and BBQ of pulled pork at Nice Jugs’ home on Civil Drive.

Hare: Brrrr

Brrrr gave us a good live hare run on Monday June 15. Start was Full Moon Parking Lot. Here’s Hooter’s map of the trail of a little more than 4 miles.

Brrr ran out of flour at one point and talked some young guy into giving her a ride back to fetch more flour. But the pack never knew it, until we were told at the end, and it never interrupted the pack’s progress. Beer Check (Ass Grabber) was at entrance gates to Picnic Loop. Trail ended in the (dark) parking lot next to Texadelphia. About 16 souls in all, at Hooter’s count: Drive Bi Fly Bi, Pussy Checker, Wad To Blow, Who The F**k Are You,
child Arkin, Il Castrado, Vaseline Queen (Kathryn), Low Profile, Roy Orifice, Dumpster Digger, Dick The Boy Wonder (conducting brief downdown for our modest Hare), Susie?, Hooter Bill, and ??? (who else?).

Hares: Platterpuss and Tap Dat Ass

Pull the Plug has posted pictures from the Pimp My Pool Hash here.

Hares: Tap Dat A$$ and Platterpuss

It was f-ing hot! But all of the bitching and moaning on H4 email didn’t keep the crowds away from the early afternoon live hare hash with the promise of a pool party with cold premium beer, a hella pool, and delicious food!

The start was at the Tuesday Morning behind the Randalls on Weslayan at Bissonnet, which seemed to confuse some. The hares, being well aware of the heat concerns, generously provided hashers with an ice cold cooler of water and Gatorades before the start, hash time around 2:30pm. The pack was off at 2:45pm.

Since we were in the middle of town, the trail was a pavement pounder. The two water/beer checks saved lives, as did the occasional run through shaded parking garages. I never thought parking garages were all that cool. Love ‘em in 105 degree temps! On-on for more…

Hares: Slumbag and Finger F**K

We started running about 5 pm, at the Valero on Jones Road just north of Cypress North Houston Road. Trail led through a compact area of convoluted shady streets and patches of woods to end in the backyard of Slumbag’s home on Oak Plaza Drive.

It was a great revival of the long dormant Space City H3. And it was free ! No run fee charged by the hares, Slumbag and Finger F**k, each celebrating 20 years of hashing. Lots of beer and BBQ and watermelon. Hashers long thought dead were seen during the run and at the circle, such as Shuttlecock and Choo Choo and Half Moon. Circle was led by Can’t Hound. Hooter counted about 50 at the circle, as ever more long-gone hashers kept streaming in. Here’s Hooter’s map of the kinder and gentler trail of 3 miles. On-on for more…

Hares: Ass Grabber, Brrr, Semper Bi and Burning Rubber

Here’s Hooter’s trace of the trail of about 4.7 miles laid yesterday by the Hares Ass Grabber and Brrrrr and Semper Bi and Burning Rubber. Some of the map is based on hearsay, as Hooter ranged way out Antoine at one point, missing the water check at Langwood Park (confirmed by auto today). Start of the Hoedown Showdown was at Fiesta on Wirt Road, near Kempwood. On-on for more…

Hares: Hooter Bill and Master Chugger

Hooter’s been a busy hare, laying the Galveston hash May 23rd and the PC hash the next week. Then he and Master Chugger were the hare and harriette at Sunday’s hash in honor of Hooter’s 71st birthday. The man’s still got it, and how!

The group gathered at the Office Max on W. Gray for a sweltering start on a delightfully sunny day. Five dollar bills were being waved all around the parking lot… widespread confusion. They tried to give their cash to Lorna, Geek, and even to yours truly, but we just pointed them in the direction of our new Hash Cash, sitting comfortably under the only shade in the parking lot. Reboots attended in record numbers to help Hooter celebrate his day. We also had a half a dozen virgin hashers… a great showing for a beautiful day of fun and camaraderie. On-on for more…
