Euro Triplets Run

6-Mar-11

(3) Hares – Parson’s Nose, there Hindlegs & Infested

The hares chose to start the hash on the west side of town for a 3:00 pm hash. Terry Hershey Park is a familiar and friendly location for a “Point A”. The hares promised us good shiggy and great beer at the end of the run. The pack gathered up with civilians milling about, trying to analyze our group. The hares gave chalk talk and announced the identity of the mystery hare as being “Infested”.

The Euro Trash hares for the day were Parson’s Nose (Brit), Hindlegs (Frenchman) and Infested (Scot). Three worldly hares, what could go wrong?

Chalk talk provided the pack with several options. The hares announced a Turkey trail and an Eagle trail. The Turkey trail was said to be friendly enough for the walkers. The eagle trail would provide both a WET and DRY course.  A beer check was also to be offered on the eagle trail. Most marks would be in flour, but toilet paper would be used when needed.

The hares sent the pack off with a smile in their eyes. Trail began down the Terry Hershey trail, but the hounds ran into a back check almost immediately.  Very Clever.  Trail was then found to go through a small subdivision, and then follow a Bayou along the cemetery. Trail seemed to be marked well. We crossed I-10 by going below an overpass. Soon we were at the Addicks Dam Reservoir and climbed that small hill to follow trail. But now we seemed to lose trail.  Where was the Turkey-Eagle split? Most did not find it and ended up doing the Eagle trail.

Once down the hill, we heard a haunting noise that sends a shiver down the back of most hashers.  Gunshots.  With a few comments amongst the pack, we decided that we must be near the shooting range. But we were not comfortable, so we got out of that area as fast as we could!

Trail continued with a nice mixture of terrain. Dirt paths, vines, small shrubbery led us to the most challenging of all, an area of water that we had to cross, ice cold and chest deep.  There was a Dry path around, but was it worth the distance?

After the cold water crossing, we were close to the end.  On-In was at an opening big enough for the hash, but surrounded by trees. This was a perfect ending spot, about one half of a mile north of the start. We could walk back to the start.  The hares provided us a keg of Lonestar, but had a malfunction with the tap. Because of this, we started with cans of beer while waiting on the backup tap to arrive.

The hares paid for their crimes in circle. Of all of the wonderful Eurpoean beers that they could have offered us, they chose Lonestar.  Although most of us love the Lonestar, we thought that our illustrious hares would have had some European beer! The hares thought that this was really funny.

The hares announced the On-on-on to be at Watson’s, an English pub not far from the start.

PooperBowl – 6-FEB-11

Hares: Rain Bitch

Hounds: 99, including 2 new boots

“I am SOOO happy you made it today” were the first words that our hare, Rain Bitch, said to me as I arrived at the hash. I am always happy to see her, but this time she seemed a little over-enthusiastic to see me. I don’t check my yahoo groups often enough, and heard that there was much going around the week prior to the Pooper Bowl as to the intended recipient. Rain was happy to see a lot of hashers there, including Dick the Boy Wonder, Horsefli Drive Bi and Ass Grabber.

Rain Bitch started the hash at a very convenient location in the Heights, at a park not far off of I-45. The parking lot soon filled up with hashers anxious to hash a fine trail and find out who would be the recipient of the celebrated Pooper Bowl this year. Rain Bitch had a glory year Continue reading →

16-JAN-11 Tender Marathon Hash Hares: Tender Vittles & Crazy Puppy The hare had yet to be seen. Tender Vittles had made many posts on the Yahoo groups site with promises of a 6 mile trail with two kegs of beer at the end. The hare arrived, remedy threw some marks on the ground for new boots, and then took off. McPisser and Horsefli took the confused looking virgins and did a chalk-talk for them. And with the pack giving the hares the standard 10-ish minutes, they were off. Unfortunately no one saw which direction he went after his check, causing us to mill around within eyesight of our cars. At last, the sound of a solved check and the pack moved across the ditch Continue reading →

Road Kill’s Birthday Run

January 9, therapy 2011

Run #1716

            It was a cold, cloudy day when 60 or so intrepid hashers showed up for Road Kills’ Birthday run.   Road Kill hadn’t laid a live hare trail in a while, so everyone was wondering how it would go.   Would there be dead animals on trail?  Would Road Kill get caught and get de-pantsed?  Would Road Kill puke on trail while trying to outrun the FRBs?  Had WHP left one man to do a two-man job?

            Fearing the worst, Road Kill left to lay trail a little bit earlier that normal, so as to get a good head start.  But his plan didn’t work, because Continue reading →

Roy Orifice Bear Creek Park Hash

Hare: Roy Orifice

Hounds: 36, ailment including one visitor

New Boots: none

With our tummies full of turkey, what better way to work it off than a Sunday afternoon hash?  Roy Orifice decided to start the hash at an early 2:00 pm on this brisk Sunday afternoon. Since it was a Thanksgiving weekend with many hashers traveling, the pack was a little scarce.  Horsefli Drivebi honored us with cans of beer left over from a cyco-hash the day before. It was nice and cold! Thanks for the surprise treat!  Continue reading →
