Hashers from all walks of life gave thanks to the hashing gods Dec. 21 as more than 50 people showed up on a brisk day with the prospect of a live trail and St. Arnold’s Christmas Ale to warm their hearts. The hash was populated by new boots, reboots, transfers and visitors who were no doubt frightened by Grind Slut wielding a large galvanized metal pole. As the pack trickled in and received their free t-shirts with their Festivus registration, Asswipe announced he was taking off to lay the live trail from Memorial Park. Pipes garbled some words that I can only assume were the Aussie equivalent of “Get the Hell out of here.” Continue reading

Ahhh… finally! The day that Mismanagement had been planning so hard for was here! Run #1599 and the Hash Christmas Party itself!

Our hare for the run was Powertool, who had promised a short and sweet trail in comparison to Who The Fuck Are You’s monstrous trail last year! At 1 p.m., the pack assembled in the parking lot across from the Houston Zoo where we were greeted by voting instructions from Geek on Best Trail, Worst Trail, etc. Once everyone was finished voting, a brief chalk talk was done and we headed out of the parking lot.

H4 Run #1598: Juicy and Delicious II

Hares: WTB and WTFAY

Who The Fuck Are You and Wad To Blow must be angling for trail of the year. Twice in three weeks they’ve stepped in at the last minute to hare a trail in the great undisturbed shiggy of Montgomery County.

Juicy and Delicious II took place on a warm fall day just east of the location for Juicy and Delicious part one. As the hares gathered at the San Jacinto Ice House most everyone guessed we’d be on an A-to-A trail. Snatcha, still recovering from a bout of laziness and terrified by the stories of the previous J&D hash, opted to take the walkers trail.

While the pack was still gathering Snatcha noticed what looked to be a suspicious and conspicuous gathering of male hashers near a car. She wandered over, wondering what kind of scheme they were hatching, only to see Momma’s Boy wielding a slim jim. Platterpuss had locked his keys into the trunk of his car! At least we knew where the ending was.

WTFAY gave chalk talk, telling the pack the trail was marked in neon green flagging. One mark is on, two is a check, three is a false. He then asked the walkers a cryptic question — do you want to go to The Beach? Or do you want to go to The Island? Continue reading

H4 Run #1597: Mash Hash

Hares: Anal 101 and Out of Tuna

Our hares, Out of Tuna and Anal 101, had us gather in a lovely park just off Lockwood in the University of Houston area. Leaving our cars and praying they would still be there, we headed off, trying to decide whether or not we would brave the eagle or turkey trail.

Leaving the park, we headed out onto the streets and ended up at the I-45 underpass. Taking a few minutes to find trail, the pack finally took off towards UH. Not being able to keep up with the pace of the pack, I slowed down and joined Master Chugger and Will He Peter.

We soon came up to the rail yard and found trail on the other side of the tracks. Knowing that Hooter Bill was somewhere behind us, we waited several minutes to get him in eyesight in order to lead him in the right direction. WHP noticed a train was coming and Hooter ended up getting stuck on the other side of the train. Not being able to hear our whistles and screams after 10 minutes, we gave up on Hooter and headed back onto trail. Continue reading

H4 Run #1596: Juicy and Delicious

Hares: Wad to Blow and Who the F*ck Are You

The shameless plugging of Wad to Blow and Who The Fuck Are You seemed to work. Numerous hounds showed up for what was an hour and a half drive for some people (Santa Claus). The excitement that these two were now officially back to hashing after having sweet little Larkin made everyone happy. Plus the promise of a NEW, GREAT LOCAL BREW made us all come running too!

Start was at Hwy. 1488 just off I-45 at 2:45. WTFAY wasted no time in getting us on trail, as you will learn later, and gave a brief chalk talk. Off we went behind the Dosey Doe Café into a field. Some of us shortcutted and headed towards the water tower and caught up to the pack at a check that took a while to figure out. Behind some apartments (outside the fence this time…so no crazy rent-a-cops on bikes came after us) we ran and onto a trail that led behind numerous houses. We finally headed off the trail a ways down and great googly moogly, the shiggy had arrived! Continue reading
