THURSDAY, JANUARY 1, 1997 HANGOVER HASH RUN # 988 VENUE: CLAY ROAD @ CAMPBELL HARES: “DICKHEAD”, “SLUTT BUTT”, “DICKLESS TRACY” & “GREAT KAHUNA”    
The hares felt generous this year and gave us a respectable start time of 12:30 for this years “Hangover” hash. By the looks of it the extra couple of hours sleep was definitely needed for most of the hashers that managed to drag themselves out of bed following a highly successful New Years Eve party at “Lube Job” & “Ball Grabbers” house the night before. From what I heard the Hot Tub finally emptied at 5:00 a.m. 

After many Happy New Year greetings and kisses “Dickhead” and “Slutt Butt” sent us on our way at around 1:30. The arrow pointed straight across the park to the railroad tracks. This led to the first check of the day, only two ways to go, right or left. I of course chose the wrong way and did the false to the left. Considering there was a moving train on this route the false wasn’t easy to detect.  Once the train moved on we were able to see the “F” and it was on back via the road where we picked up the rest of the pack. We ran down the road a bit then it was on right down some more railroad tracks. There were plenty of checks along the way that had me going the wrong way on all but two, never could break those bastards very well.   

From here we followed the tracks for a ways before breaking off across a grass area to the road. Another check at the business development had us spread out all over. Trail was finally found to the left and it was on-on down the road to yet another check. Left again here which lead us into a neighborhood and to a little park and another check. Once again I took off the wrong way but caught up with “Grind Slut” and “Gas Light” at the Bayou behind the housing development. Trail led down the Bayou for a ways until trail led us across it. I arrived here just in time to catch “High Maintenance”  trying to shimmy up the other side. We continued down the other side of the Bayou until we came to a check at the road. It was on left here and back into another neighborhood where “High Maintenance” attempted to persuade a 10-year-old boy to let her borrow his bike to finish the hash. Her ego was crushed when he refused her offer.   

The pack was quite spread out by this point and “High Maintenance”, “Panty Boy” and myself found ourselves alone without anybody else in sight. We followed trail that led us to Campbell.  From here we caught a glimpse of “Santa Claus” in the distance which got us back on trail. At the end of the street we crossed through a horse pasture to the other side where we saw Beer Near. From this point it was  a straight shot to the On-Home which was at “Dickless Tracy’s” house.  

“Dickhead” supplied a keg of Saint Arnolds Christmas Ale and “Lube Job” had brought the remainder of the left over beer from his party the night before. All in all we had about 4 kegs of beer to work on.  
“Grind Slut” did the honors of R.A. and down-downed the hares for their efforts. Many other down-downs were dished out for a variety of reasons, all of which seem to have evaporated from my memory.  

After a great meal prepared by the “Great Kuhuna” the hot tub became the popular place to be. “Token Choken Poken” managed to keep the boys amazed with the buoyancy of her large American breasts and “Pump Me’s” towel kept shrinking every time she got out of the tub. Funny, nobody seemed to complain, not even the neighbors who had a perfect view of the tub from their upstairs window! 

Once again we had hares step forward at the last minute to make sure Houston Hashing Tradition was kept alive. Mega thanks goes out to “Dickhead”, Slutt Butt”, “Dickless Tracy” and the “Great Kahuna” for putting together a great New Years Run and party at the last minute.
