Metra, the train gets in about 1:05. Bring a few beers and lay about in
the Forest Preserve drinking beer. Remember, at least 50 feet from the
parking lot and no glass. Coming by bus and the EL. Take the Red Line to
Howard. Transfer to the Skokie Swift, Yellow Line to Dempster and then
take the Dempster Bus west to
just before the tracks, about a mile. Walk south on Lincoln to the
entrance. Cars, take I 94 to Dempster and head west about a mile to just
before the tracks, Lincoln, and go south about two blocks to the Forest
Preserve Entrance. Remember, this is a men's hash, but ladies are
welcome if they have the balls. If not, I will provide a pair of golf
balls in a sock and they have to wear them in their knickers. We do
accept creativity and love it. And you will get a special bandanna for
playing our game. $5 Hash Cash. HHHinChicago.com
Last week
On
Mon at The Chicago Hash, Rusty Grundel and the Cock Whisperer hared
from Local Option for 23 hounds with visitors and virgins everywhere.
Trail was a nice mix of back and forth without much in the way of
outrageous short cuts and a lot of Checks and Splits that kept the pack
together and really showed the visitors what hashing in a pack is really
all about. And even Horn-E got a turn in front thanks to crossing
Fullerton when he saw the pack cross Fullerton a block further west, and
coming on marks heading east. Sometimes you get lucky. Good circle in
the bar and the bar tender was an old friend from Ravens. Great.
Then on Thu, SnatchSquatch
led his annual Running of the Bulls hash with a co hare, Flamming
Flaggot for the TH3 Hash. We had 10 Spaniards and 5 Bulls for this chase
from Redmonds. And for once, we Bulls actually got through three Checks
before Gay Dancer and Dr. Cockvorkian gored Horn-E, The Dark Kunt and
the visitor from Dallas, Double Dribble. Then, back at Redmonds, the bar
was having Trivia night so we headed out for 3 30 packs and held circle
under the El Track, about 150 feet west of Sheffield. And no cops, but
the El did a number on singing and accusations, etc. After, about ten
hashers headed to some BYOB pizza place for a few slices.
Fri, had Lower Wackoff setting the First Crack of the Moon Hash #250. We
ran from Ham Tree Inn with 12 hounds. The hare was up to his usual
Checks and although this was supposed to be only 2.5 miles long to
celebrate the 250th hash, his checks were such that we had a long run
before finding the beer. And we really had to look for that. Then we
held a short circle in a shelter in the woods before heading back to the
bar. On the way back, Lower Wackoff stopped for three large pizzas with
six different types of toppings. And he bought them. Great. And we only
had $2.50 Hash Cash to celebrate the 250th hash. But Son Of Spam kept
the beer flowing and covered that. We also actually had 2 people who
were at the first FCMH3, Horn-E the founder and Bloody Thighs.
Then we had to face the Cums

On All Bases, Big Dog Hash from the Palatine Metra stop. We had a late
start due to rain the night before that wiped out the pre laid trail,
and the hare having to work earlier. We had a pack of 12 that spanned 75
years differences in age. A Visitor with his wife and two kids, our
resident, transient, summer visitors from Hawaii,
And six regular hashers. The trail was short on the hashing part of
less then two miles where we regrouped at a Check we couldn't solve and
then we headed out on two death marches of over a mile each and just
straight until the final On In. We entered her house and I thought I was
hashing in Antarctica. Damn she had that air conditioner on full blast.
I grabbed a beer and headed back in the heat, and shade, to rest up and
recover. We eventually held a BDH3 circle and then it was around back
to a porch and brats and burgers. Good stuff. We were eventually given
rides back to cars and Lower Wackoff and I actually got a ride back into
Norwood and his car. All was good.
Sun there was a surprise hash. Sort of. Second City had a hash and
SnatchSquatch forgot he signed up for it, so there wasn't much notice,
like Thursday it was announced. But he snagged Panda as a co-hare and
set out on a three mile trail. Then the pack arrived, Well, only three
of us, Its Too Soft, Eat My Pussy, and Horn-E. But we headed out into
the heat and probably did closer to four miles with the Checking and
stuff. We all took turns leading the trail and finally Horn-E led to a
Check at California and Montrose, after not having a beer stop in the
park. So Horn-E went West to a False, and Eat My Pussy headed east and
found trail. As Horn-E returned towards the Check, he ranged one block
north hoping to come across trail. Then heading east one block and there
was trail and the Beer Stop in this small triangle park, and the two
hares, and ice cold water and beer. Finally Its Too Soft ranged off of
the Check and straight north and after one block he arrived. Eventually
Eat My Pussy finished off the trail correctly and came on in. Back at
the finish, SnatchSquatch's garage, he announced that their would be no
hash cash as he was just using up some beer laying around the house.
Thanks. Then we held the lamest circle ever at a SCH3 hash, the home of
the sitting circles. Then we hung around and actually talked politics,
agreeing and disagreeing and never arguing, just stating experiences,
ideas, attitudes, etc. All politics should be that peaceful. See what a
hash and cold beer can accomplish.
I also want to thank those that laid these last
three hashes. I actually spent more on transportation, and I get senior
citizen rates, then I did on Hash Cash. For that there were three very
hot hashes, two hot meals and a lot of cold beer. For me, it was one
hell of a good weekend. Special thanks, Lower Wackoff, Son Of Spam, Cums
On All Base and SnatchSquatch.
