Ahhh… finally! The day that Mismanagement had been planning so hard for was here! Run #1599 and the Hash Christmas Party itself!

Our hare for the run was Powertool, who had promised a short and sweet trail in comparison to Who The Fuck Are You’s monstrous trail last year! At 1 p.m., the pack assembled in the parking lot across from the Houston Zoo where we were greeted by voting instructions from Geek on Best Trail, Worst Trail, etc. Once everyone was finished voting, a brief chalk talk was done and we headed out of the parking lot.

Trail headed out onto Golf Course Dr. onto the runner/biker path. We soon headed toward the Museum District where we encountered a few checks. Thankfully the pack was able to stay together for pretty much the entirety of the trail. After heading out of the Museum District, we headed into a neighborhood where some construction workers met us who freaked out and thought that we were running through their site. Yes there was a check there; no it did not run onto the property!

We soon found ourselves on Rice Blvd. and figured we were headed onto campus. We were not disappointed! So through campus we ran and got to Valhalla and had a VX… excited by this, we thought there was going to be a Beer Check inside! Dammit!!! No such luck!

On On we ran through the rest of campus and found ourselves crossing Main St…..or was it Fannin….ahh Crap! I can’t remember that far back right now! Anyway, we ended up back in Hermann Park running along the lake for a bit on trail. Snatcha and Pull The Plug had to stop and admire some strange animal in the lake and wondered why Grind Slut had not jumped in and taken it away for our meal at the party later that evening. Anyway, we soon got back on trail and passed the statue in the park and found ourselves in the deep woods of Hermann Park. Real spooky and all, I know!

We crossed over some of the train tracks for the little trains that run around the park and zoo, and soon found the Beer Near Mark. The ending of the trail was right across the street from where we had started! Car back anyone?? Nahh!!

Actually, Grind took off back across the street to get his car, as did I. As I was pulling back into the ending area, I see him unveiling the Hooter Bill Award in a block of ice!! Hooter has been resurrected!!! Anyway, the circle got started pretty quickly as everyone needed to get home or to their hotels to shower before the BIG party that night!

Accusations were few to start off with, but finally picked up! Grind was made to sit on Hooter’s face for breaking him up SOOO long ago! Hey gang, at least he put him back together!! More on that topic later! Anyway, then Grind comes back with his own accusation about how the Hares from the Pub Crawl were upset with him for trying to “sway” the hash to go to the St. Arnold’s Pub Crawl instead of ours! He said the hare that “hounded” him the most regarding this was Pipes, so he was going to award the Hooter Bill Award to Pipes! But, Pipes was not there, so instead, yours truly was given the Hooter Bill Award! Yeah Me! What the Hell am I supposed to do with this big ass block of ice!? Apparently, I was made to sit on it for a good 15 minutes! Hey people, I work with ice everyday….I’m immune to it!! LOLOLOLOL…..hahahahaha!!

Anyway, more lame accusations went flying and Mama’s Boy said no one could leave till we killed the keg. As Snatcha and I had to shower and get back to the Caroline Collective to finish our beautiful job of decorating, we took off! But I did hear that the keg was indeed killed and all had a great time!

So now I arrive back at the Caroline Collective a few hours later to finish decorating with Snatcha and the other mismanagement crew! The partygoers slowly started arriving, and the fun started. Our DJ Vincent started up with some music to get the vibe going. Pipes and Ménage Myself, who slaved over the food literally ALL day people (since 10 a.m. just so you know how hard they worked to provide you an amazing meal) announced that the food was ready! The line formed, and all along it, all I heard was “damn, this is a seriously GREAT spread of food!” And “is that really bacon wrapped Quail?? ” Wow! See people, MM DOES care about you!!

After everyone was fed and watered (by the wondrous beer that Mama’s Boy found for us) the party really started rocking! It just so happened, and I assure you not on purpose, that there was a pole just in front of the DJ. I don’t think any of us realized this as we were setting up for the party! Well, Dr. Cootchie noticed it about 10:30 p.m. and got things rolling with her “poll dancing”! And did the fun start! Women, being the fun people that we are, converged in front of the DJ and started “dirty dancing.” Gaslight literally cut loose by taking off the top half of her wet suit to show us her stylish bikini top! And the dancing went on for another 2 hours!

Around 11:30pm, the music sadly stopped. The decorations came down. And the party ended. Snatcha led the way to the ON ON ON bar while the rest of us cleaned up. Hooter Bill was loaded into Slurpee’s truck for me and we headed to the bar. More drinking by the hash was done, some head banging listening to the band, and then it was over!

Later, as I arrived back at the hotel to find Brady’s Bitch already asleep, she rolled over, laughed and told me the saddest news! Hooter Bill broke in the back of Slurpee’s truck!! What??? Grind….I need to know how you put him back together!!! LOL

And so the night came to an end for me. All in all, I would proclaim this as a very successful Christmas Party 2008! Of course I can say that since I’m writing this! So there, it was a SUCCESS!!
