A SMALLER TURN OUT THAN USUAL WHICH CAN PROBABLY BE ATTRIBUTED TO ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:

1. THE EFFECTS OF THE OTR RUN THE NIGHT BEFORE
2. FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS
3. TORRENTIAL DOWN POURS

MIND YOU NONE OF THESE ARE ACCEPTABLE SO IF YOU STAYED AWAY FOR ANY OF THE ABOVE YOU CAN CONSIDER YOURSELF A "WANKER" IN THE MINDS OF US THAT WEATHERED ALL THREE AND STILL DID OUR CIVIC DUTY AND HASHED!

THE HARES MADE SURE WE ALL KNEW THAT SINCE MOTHER NATURE DECIDED TO TAKE A HEAVY PISS ON THEM 3 HOURS BEFORE THE HASH THEY HAD TO SCURY AROUND TO RESTRUCTURE THEIR RUN. "BURNING RUBBER" ADVISED THAT FINDING A DRY PLACE FOR THE ON-ON TOOK PRIORITY SO THEIR PRE-SCOUTED 6 MILE TRAIL HAD TO BE SHORTENED TO ABOUT A 3 MILES. MIND YOU, IF THERE WAS ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HASH, AND I DIDN'T HEAR ANY, HAVING A SHORTER TRAIL THAN ORIGINALLY PLANNED WASN'T ONE OF THEM. USUALLY WHEN HARES START MAKING EXCUSES BEFORE THE RUN EVEN STARTS YOU FIGURE YOUR IN FOR A SHIT HASH, THAT WASN'T THE CASE THIS TIME AROUND.

THE PACK SET OFF AT 3:30 IN SEARCH OF FLOUR NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH WOULD BE LEFT AFTER THE RAINS. I'LL GIVE THE HARES THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT CONSIDERING THE CONDITIONS THEY HAD TO LAY TRAIL IN AND SAY SOME MUST HAVE BEEN WASHED AWAY BECAUSE IT WAS SCARCE IN PARTS HOWEVER, OVERALL IT WAS PRETTY WELL MARKED. THE GOOD THING ABOUT HASHING AFTER A GOOD DOWNPOUR IS THAT IT GIVES YOU SOME GOOD URBAN SHIGGY TO RUN THROUGH AND THE HARES TOOK FULL ADVANTAGE.

"GEEK" WAS SPOTTED FROM THE "ON HOME" PEARING ACROSS THE OTHER SIDE OF THE 610 LOOP. FROM THE BEWILDERED AND LOST LOOK ON HIS FACE IT WAS OBVIOUS HE WAS WONDERING HOW IN THE HELL HE WAS GOING TO NEGOTIATE HIS WAY TO THE OTHER SIDE. THE "ON HOME" WAS AT A DEMOLISHAN SITE NEAR 610 AND SAN FELIPE, HARD HATS SHOULD HAVE BEEN MANDATORY BUT WEREN'T. A GOOD CIRCLE BY OUR R. A., "BOY GEORGE", AND PLENTY OF BEER TO DRINK CONSIDERING THE LOW TURNOUT. IT WAS OBIVIOUS THAT NOBODY CARED THAT TRAIL WAS A BIT SHORTER THAN ORIGINALLY PLANNED.

I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHY THE HARES CHOSE THE ALABAMA ICE HOUSE FOR THEIR ON-ON-ON CONSIDERING WE WERE LESS THAN A MILE AWAY FROM A TON OF OTHER ICE HOUSES ON THE WESTHEIMER / RICHMOND STRIP BUT THEY DID. THERE WAS A DECENT TURNOUT CONSIDERING THE DISTANCE FROM THE RUN SITE AND WE ALL GOT TO HEAR BUT YET ANOTHER VERSION OF THE GINGERMAN BAR INCIDENT. I'VE NOW HEARD THE STORY FROM "BILDO DILDO", "MUD PACKER", "LIMP NOODLE" AND "GRIND SLUT", ALL OF WHOM WERE ORGINAL PARTICIPANTS AND EACH STORY WAS DIFFERENT. I GUESS THIS MEANS WE CAN CHOOSE THE ONE THAT'S THE MOST EXCITING TO TALK ABOUT. THIS BEING THE CASE I BELIEVE I WOULD CHOOSE "MUD PACKERS" VERSION.

SOME OF THE BOY'S CONSISTING OF "LIMP NOODLE", "HALF MOON", "HOOTER BILL", "PRICKLY DICK", "BOY GEORGE", "HAND CREAM", AND MAYBE OTHERS CIRCLED UP AND ONE BY ONE TRICKED THE GIRLS INTO THE CIRCLE FOR MOLESTING. THIS WENT FINE WITH THE LIKES OF "HIGH MAINTENIENCE", "LORNA DUNES", AND "LAZY WORM", BUT BACKFIRED WHEN "GAS LIGHT" WAS SUMMONDED IN AND WENT INTO A BERZERK FRENZY OF SCREAMING, HITTING AND HIP BUMPING. THIS SOON BROKE UP THE LITTLE CIRCLE LEAVING SOME OF THE BOY'S WITH BRUISED EGO'S NOT TO MENTION OTHER THINGS! "BOY GEORGE" SOON THEREAFTER GOT A FEW SONGS GOING TO CLOSE OUT THE SESSION. SOMEWHERE IN THE MIX OF ALL OF THIS I WAS PICKED TO DO THE WRITE-UP SINCE "PRICKLY DICK" HAD MORE EXCUSES THAN A MAN CAUGHT WITH "NIPSTICK" (I MEAN LIPSTICK) ON HIS COLLAR.

THE ON-ON-ON-ON WAS AT "MISSION BUERITO" WHERE I GOT TO WITNESS "GAS LIGHT" EAT THE WHOLE THING! LET ME TELL YOU, THERE'S NOTHING MORE EROTIC THAN WATCHING A WOMAN GO DOWN ON A BUERITO THAT SIZE. WOW, I WAS IMPRESSED, GO GIRL . . .
