RUN NO. 1002 VENUE: FEGAN @ MEMORIAL HARES: "JOHN PAUL WITH A SKIRT"  & NO FUCKING HASH NAME (JENNY)  

I guess it's about time I write one of these things again, the main reason being I forgot to appoint someone. Guess I got hung up in the great weather and meeting new boots before the hash and too caught up in the party afterwards. This was a free run by your Mismanagement so there was no hassle with registration, which left plenty of time to shoot the bull with fellow hashers before the start. 
What a great day for a hash, sunshine and blue skies just can't beat it. Spring is here and maybe we will get at least a couple more weekends like this before the hot weather finds us. With the amount of new faces around the weather must have inspired them to get on their running shoes and check out the Houston Hash. 

Our hare "John Paul" gave us more instruction than we really wanted but he insisted it was necessary with the amount of new boots present, never mind that I had already given them instructions ten minutes before hand.  The hare started us off towards Memorial to a picnic table where we had an imaginary check. After milling around for a while it was on-on across the walkway to the other side of Memorial. After finding a false the pack turned and headed towards downtown. Already there were rumors being thrown around that the hares were probably taking us to the Brew Festival for a beer check. "Estrus" in fact made it to the Brew-U tent only to be told by "Altered Boy" that trail went nowhere near there. 

Real trail went back across Memorial all the way to the other side of I-10. We eventually crossed back over I-10 and it was starting to look like we were being taken on an A to A. There were lots of arrows and few checks so the pack was moving fast. "Saran Crap" led our pack followed by "Boy George", "Stripper" (Miri H3), others and myself. 

Trail took us through an area of Houston that even our men in blue couldn't believe we were running through. Fortunately everyone made it back without incident. Trail ended at "John Paul" & Jenny's house only about 3 blocks from the cars.  The first thing you noticed when you finished was a 300-lb block of ice sitting on top of a dolly. It doesn't take much brainpower even for a hasher to figure out what a block of ice is for. 

Our roving R.A. for this week was "Geek" since "Tonka" had work duties at Brew-U. To my surprise and amazement "Geek" decided to take full advantage of the ice by icing virtually the entire hash including new boots and visitors (welcome to the Houston Hash guys)! Aren't icings supposed to be for criminal offenses? I personally know of one new boot that was so upset she left immediately after her icing, hopefully she will give us another try. We certainly don't want to run off any new boots, especially good looking ones of the female variety!   

"John Paul" and Jenny were the first honorees to the ice, fair enough since they had bought the damn thing. The visitors, new boots, reboots and anybody else that batted an eye followed them. "Boy George" was the only participant that actually seemed to enjoy himself but then again it doesn't take much for "Boy George" to enjoy himself. The circle favorites were "Magoo's" daughters, they were on the ice more than off it!

"John Paul" played D.J. for the night and your Mismanagement sprung for the food and beer. At last count two kegs of Bud Light plus a half keg of Brew-U beer was floated. Rescue crews went out and bought another keg but by the time it arrived back at the party things were starting to die down. This was truly a great way to follow up the 1000th run weekend. Thanks to the hares for a great run and a super on-on-on party. 

If you got the chance to view the 1000th run photos and saw some you would like copies of contact "John Paul" to place your order.   On-On "Bald Eagle"
