Houston Hash House Harriers

Hared by A$$wipe, Platterpuss, Smelly Trench, and Eazy to Please

Hashing for a cause… the hares planned this much controversial Red Dress run as the official H4 weekly run on a Saturday in order to keep our calendars free for Valentine’s Day!  How thoughtful!  They also added an optional donation to the Americal Heart Association so our guys could have a “valid” excuse for wearing red dresses through the busy streets of the Heights on a sunny Saturday afternoon.  Whatever blows your skirts up…

The hares and hounds met at the Big Lots on Shepherd and 11th, where the strip center patrons had a field day with our crowd.  Dick the Boy Wonder, aka the school girl, was kind enough to On-on for more…

Hared by Pull the Plug and 8″ Crack 

Nervous that the cold weather and water crossing would keep people at home by their fireplaces, 8″ Crack sent multiple enticing emails luring hashers outdoors with homemade chili and veggie soup and a keg o Blue Moon… with orange slices.  How could we resist her annual birthday celebration?

The hounds met in the grocery store parking lot by Church’s Chicken on Sheldon Road.  The hares kept assuring us that there would be sun, but the skies were so cloudy.  Luckily, the sun popped out On-on for more…

So many long hours and lots of hard work went into making the H4 Marathon Mile a success. As a first year runner of the half marathon, I can say that that hard work did not go unnoticed. Knowing that our peeps and cold beer was close to the end of the race showing their support was what kept us going. Thanks, everyone!

The marathon after-party was at The Brewery Tap on Franklin, where they served up free pizza and a keg of brown ale. Hashers gathered from some pre-run beer, telling stories of the race and hash mile and admiring medals.

Hared by Pull the Pr*ck Out, Brrrrrrgghh and NARC

After a long weekend of indulging in Maredsous 8, Allagash and BM2’s hella strong homebrew, I had a fever, and the only prescription was more cowbell… and the TRUE hangover hash!

Pull the Prick Out was in town for the holidays from France, so she teamed up with our super harriette, Brrrrrgghh and beer b*tch, NARC, to lay an urban trail on this cloudy, wintry Sunday before she heads home. The hounds met at the Harley Davidson parking lot at 1960 and 290 for a 3:00pm start, freezing our nips off waiting for chalk talk.

Hared by Lorna Dunes & Geek

Geek and Lorna laid the Hangover Hash trail today in Memorial Park, with a deep-woods check by Lorna Doon that kept pack checking for half an hour. Start was at Happy Meal Park for a noon start with pack departing at 12:45 pm.

Hooter and Butt Pirate and a couple of others did short cuts. A couple of others did long cuts.

Hared by Just Ali, Dr Strange Rub, and Vote for Pedro

Thanks for a great time last night. You get my vote for most retarded trail of the year! That keg of Blue Moon was awesome and the way our French friend took control of McPissers beer jug full of oranges added a nice touch to the beer service. I’ve never felt that classy. Congrats to Ali for FINALLY getting her name! I think we have tabled more names for her than anyone else in the hash. One suggestion was actually “Table Her”, but after her attempt to cut the circle short we decided that she was being a jerk and she shall henceforth be known as “Circle Jerk”. Just make sure you are never DFL or else you’ll have to eat the cracker. Also, congrats to Dr. Strange-Rub for being defloured with TWO full bags of flour last night. On-on for more…

Hooter counted 14 hounds* plus John Boy the live Hare. At least two (John Boy and Limp Noodle) actually went down the big hole and through the tunnel under I-10, while others finessed it. In fact Hooter, after circling Stude Park at the start, holed up at Onion Creek, and joined the pack at the end on the abandoned railway line by the bayou. The rain stayed away. On on on was at Onion Creek.

*Limp Noodle (from Edmonton) , Baby Huey (from San Diego), Pee Pee, Pee Wee, Le Pussy Checker, Heartache, Saran Crap, Il Castrato, Roller Balls, DoppelGangBanger, Butt Pirate, Hooter Bill, Who The F**k Are You, Ass Grabber (with propane heater at end).

John Boy picked Limp Noodle for the PC Hare for January. He said he’ll still be in the area until mid-January, and will probably hare it on Thursday Jan 14.

Hooter Bill

Congratulations to the hares for an awesome trail. Had this trail occurred before the Christmas Party, it would have definitely been in the running for Trail of the Year. Visiting hasher MIA from Los Angeles & Dallas was so impressed that she told us the Los Angeles and Dallas hashes were going really hear about this run. Parson’s Nose, who has hashed all over the world, told me that most hashes that he has run in other countries, were child’s play compared to this run. Way to go hares!!!

On-on to the New Years day Hang-over run
Pull the Plug

So PP and Saltwater Taffey and Holden laid trail, about an hour of so of 4.24 miles. Hashers included visitor MIA (from DFW and LA and Orange County hashes), Brian (new boot), Horsefli Drive Bi, Estrus, Eddie, FMR, Heartache, Hooter Bill, Butt Pirate and 3 kids (and wife standing by). See Hooter’s trace of the trail below.

The 80% chance of rain was not going to stop our yule tide cheer!  Hounds met 7pm at the smokey little Brewery Tap, located in one of the oldest buildings in Houston.  The selection of beer was fabulous, but the smoke was a bit offensive.  The hare waited the acceptable amount of time and until a good crowd was gathering, then he started his trail of chalk to the next location.

The pack was off, and happily the rain had not yet started on this cold night.  A couple of blocks away, we followed chalk to La Carafe Wine Bar, a haunted building On-on for more…
