The Euro Twins warned of shiggy galore for the MorOn trail, with the need for gators or high socks for this “challenging” terrain.  We met at the first parking lot off of Westheimer Parkway at George Bush Park, by a pond where families were picnicking and fishing.  The hares provided bottled water for thirsty hashers, since the water check was to be well into the run.

After the extensive chalk talk, the hares pointed the way, and the pack was off to the north.  Across the highway, under a fence, and there was a check, where the FRB’s immediately found trail… running single file down a dry creek bed, dodging branches and debris to a big fat FALSE.  Continue reading

H4 Run #1631: Tourette’s Hash

Hared by McPisser, C*ms Anyway, B*tt Pirate, NARC, Little P*ssy, and FMR

Pull the Plug has posted images from the 6th annual Tourette’s Run here.

The fifth analversary of the Tourette’s Hash was held this Sunday on the southeast side with over 60 hashers in attendance to celebrate and give to this worthy cause.  S*ck IT!!  We met at the Chili’s on the corner of Beltway and Fairmont Parkway.  Chalk talk was given in water… D^MN^TION!!… and the hares advised of a two mile walker’s trail and a turkey/eagle split.    LICKETY H@R SPL!T!!  Our new boots had great mentors to show the way just in case the chalk talk was not clear or evaporated too soon.

The pack was off at around 4:30pm, across the parking lot and into the shiggy… thorny, trippy shiggy, but only for a short distance.  SHORT-N-C@RLIES!!  Continue reading

H4 Run #1630: Reboot Reunion Run

Hares: Letch and Old Faithful

In celebration of their birthdays, anesthetist Letch and Old Faithful held their annual Reboot Reunion Run, with help from Will He Peter.  Hashers came out of the woodwork, 85 total… a significant showing for a summer run in the Houston heat.

Start time was at 5pm for this pre-laid trail, and Old Faithful was running late.  She did more before 9am than most people do all day.  We met behind the Center for Hearing and Speech at Shepherd and Allen Parkway where there was prelube beer, shade, water guns for mischievous hashers, and oh so refreshing misting fans.

H4 Run #1629: Father’s Day/Summer Solstice

Hares: Ball Barker, unhealthy Bend-A-Ho, link Chorizo Polico and Just Fernando

The hares were Ball Barker, Bend-A-Ho, Chorizo Polico and Just Fernando for this “lengthy” northeast side run. The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year, but thank God for the periodic cloud cover and warm breeze! The fact that it was Father’s Day and that these guys’ reputation preceded them kept the crowd down to a minimum… around 40.

We gathered at McArthur High School on Aldine Mail Route and headed to the southwest. The trail followed park trails through Keith Weiss Park and along Halls Bayou, which was, IMHO, a very pleasant run, less the sewer odor at Hopper, followed by the skunk smell of reefer. Maybe that explains our mellow mood later in the day. Continue reading

H4 H4 Run #1628: Pimp My Pool Hash

Hares: Tap Dat A$$ and Platterpuss

It was f-ing hot! But all of the bitching and moaning on H4 email didn’t keep the crowds away from the early afternoon live hare hash with the promise of a pool party with cold premium beer, order a hella pool, and delicious food!

The start was at the Tuesday Morning behind the Randalls on Weslayan at Bissonnet, which seemed to confuse some. The hares, being well aware of the heat concerns, generously provided hashers with an ice cold cooler of water and Gatorades before the start, hash time around 2:30pm. The pack was off at 2:45pm.

Since we were in the middle of town, the trail was a pavement pounder. The two water/beer checks saved lives, as did the occasional run through shaded parking garages. I never thought parking garages were all that cool. Love ‘em in 105 degree temps! Continue reading

H4 Run #1626: Hooter Bill’s 71st Birthday Hash

Hares: Hooter Bill and Master Chugger

Hooter’s been a busy hare, sale ed laying the Galveston hash May 23rd and the PC hash the next week. Then he and Master Chugger were the hare and harriette at Sunday’s hash in honor of Hooter’s 71st birthday. The man’s still got it, diagnosis and how!

The group gathered at the Office Max on W. Gray for a sweltering start on a delightfully sunny day. Five dollar bills were being waved all around the parking lot… widespread confusion. They tried to give their cash to Lorna, pills Geek, and even to yours truly, but we just pointed them in the direction of our new Hash Cash, sitting comfortably under the only shade in the parking lot. Reboots attended in record numbers to help Hooter celebrate his day. We also had a half a dozen virgin hashers… a great showing for a beautiful day of fun and camaraderie. Continue reading
