HHHi HHHashers:

Visitors and new hashers
(virgins), we start meeting at the listed
times and start hashing a half hour later. Time for a quick beer.
Anyone
want off this list, email Horn-E at H3HornEH3 and it will be done.
Urban hashing in Chicago is returning with some differing conditions. Will advise as best as I know or check their web sites. Things keep changing and I am just getting out the best info I have at the moment. New
hashers or visitors, because of the virus and lock down, many hashes
are back yards or parks and laid back finishes. Lawn chairs might be
advised. Visitors, we might have a spare. Life is what it is. We
charge $5 or $6 for hash cash or BYOB. Hash cash money goes to beer.

The Tale of the Trail
Thu,
Oct 22. 2020, the Thirstday Hash. Location was set for Wieboldt Park
with no hare and probably the last + 70 degrees hash for at least 4 to 5
months. We had only three hounds show up to run. Pathetic. You missed a
great trail and night of hashing. So Cockholm Syndrum had some chalk
and took up the duty of Hare for Its Too Soft and Horn-E. With no shag
wagon we all had to carry back packs full of clothes and beer, etc. We
gave him a 4 minute head start and never caught him. Horn-E led through
about four Splits before the first Check. Then Horn-E went straight,
wrong and Its Too Soft picked right, right, and was gone. But after
several Splits, Horn-E caught up at a Triple split. This time Its Too
Soft went straight and Horn-E went right. Horn-E was on and yelled out. I
thought I saw him as I reached the end of the alley and waved and ran
on. Did't see him again. A few marks later I got to a Split and was
going to cross Belmont first. I started marking the checks/splits with a
? for the direction I went. If nothing I went back and crossed that out
and put in another ?. If I didn't find something, repeat. If I found
something I didn't come back. Should have worked and I ran on. Trail
went to Roscoe and then east and back and forth between Roscoe and the
close alleys. Trail finally went west in the alley from Damen. A long
alley. At the end was a Triple Split and I didn't see marks left or
right. Ooops. It was left. Anyhow a long alley straight and no marks at
the end. I wasn't going bck. So I just posted ? and started ranging,
right and east and crossed his trail that went straight south on
Ravenswood with Splits, to the finish. Meanwhile I ended up over on
Lincoln and did a big loop south and into the finish. FRB. About five
minutes later Its Too Soft came on in. We were joined by Back Door
Bizzle who didn't run. So we made him R. A and had some DDs and such and
finished with Swing Low and sat around drinking, still in shorts and
t-shirt. Beautiful night. Next spring suckers.
Sun.
Oct 11, 2020, The Chicago Hash, Hare was some masked man, oops, Double
Meter Beater. The pack gathered and we took off with just 6 hounds and
no Chicago Harriett again. None period. The Bushman had three last week
and they are the men's hash and the so called Mother Hash of Chicago can
only come up with six men at the start. About 3 blocks into trail we
were joined by Back Door Bizzle making seven men, the usual suspects, as
usual. So we ran off to the north and west and got stuck at a Split on
Western. Horn-E finally spotted a hidden in plain sight mark and we
headed into an alley where Horn-E went right, wrong. So he paralleled
the pack as we headed west and finally Cockholm Syndrum popped out of a
gangway joining Horn-E as we headed north. Quickly Stiffy 4 Stiffies
passed us to a Triple Split. It was found to the east in the alley as we
followed Some Crappy Name and then at a Split Horn-E found trail to the
north in another alley. We made our way to Logan Blvd and near Western
when trail crossed Logan and headed west and Horn-E got stuck with
traffic. So, now I'm following but I managed one short cut by looking
ahead and seeing Cockholm Syndrum a few blocks away. That was it for
those damn FRBs. Trail went north west to Diversey and California and
then north at the red light. And I caught the red light. Damn. Now I
will never catch up. I head under the Expy and to a Split. I picked
right, right, and ran on. Then a damn north turn. I wondered about it,
but you follow trail. Yep, a long block later the trail turned right and
right and back down the other side of the street. A great move for the
pack and the FRB, but now I'm just dragging along. As I headed south I
suddenly saw Its Too Soft and called out, saving him some dead end
running. We ran on with Its Too Soft following until we hit a Split on
Elston. Unmarked, so I kept going south. Nothing. Lookng back, Its Too
soft was still standing there. So I ran further and nothing, finally
waving that I had nothing and I started ranging. From there, there were
probably only three choices, north on western for the Eagle of a Turkey
Eagle Split, through a housing complex, or south to Diversey. Nothing on
Diversey and I couldn't see Its Too Soft so I ranged further east on
Diversey and as I approached the river, the four FRBs emerged from a
gangway. And there was the Turkey/eagle split. They ran off and Pony
Pounder tried to text Its Too Soft and let him know were to come to. I
headed south and ran on in on the Turkey Trail. As I was about to cross
Fullerton, I saw Stiffy 4 Stiffies and Pony Pounder coming from the
eagle and couldn't join them. Traffic again. Finally got across and was
passed by Some Crappy Name and Cockholm Syndrum just before the finish.
About 5 minutes later Its Too Soft came in and another 10 minutes before
Back Door Bizzle came in. Not a bad trail for a relatively new hare. I
didn't say that. some one hi-jacked my email. Cool, but still a nice
day.

The Hash Hymn - sung world wide at the conclusion of hashes and for the hearing impaired.
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
Swing low, sweet chariot, cuming four two carry me home,
Swing low, sweet chariot, cuming four two carry me home. (chorus)
I looked over Jordan and what did I see, cuming four two carry me home,
A band of Angels cuming after me, cuming four two carry me home,
If you get there, before I do, cuming four two carry me home,
Tell all my friends, I'm cuming two, cuming four two carry me home,
Some times the chorus is followed by humming and silent verses.
