HHHi HHHashers
AOL is screwing with me again. Sorry if you didn't get the message
yesterday. They are blocking bulk emails again. Looks like I will have
to send this out in blocks of 20 or less to get it out. You might get a
duplicate message as I try Gmail. Not sure that is working either.
Check calendar at https://www.brownbearsw.com/freecal/HashCal and my site at HHHinChicago.com.

Last week hashes:
Thu was a Thirstday Hash with a last minute change of
hare as Foamy Discharge stepped up and laid a Marathon prelube hash of
2.62 miles from Danny's Tap Room. Having lost a chunk of my ass on Mon. I
begged for the beer stop location in case I really couldn't run. Well, I
could, but slower then normal. Trail went south and nine hounds took
off. I managed to stay with the pack until shortly after we passed North
and Western, heading east. I ranged a bit and finally gave up when I
saw no marks on 606. So I headed north towards the beer stop location.
Finally heading west a block I found the pack heading east. Ooops. So I
just kept heading north and finally the pack came back to me on Western
at Logan. From here I let them find the Beer Stop although I knew it was
just past the skate park. Then after a short beer stop in paper cups,
they ran on and I walked with the hares over to the parkway by some
trees for the final beer stop. Everyone managed to make it in with False
Advertising coming in FRB, with the exception of SnatchSquatch who
finally lost the trail for good and went back to the bar. And speaking
of the bar, we had several groupies show up and we circled in the back
yard.
Then on Sun we had the Marathon beer stop as usual near mile 23. And as
usual, we had many volunteers who contributed beer, cups, garbage bags, signs,
and enthusiasm as we passed out about 2500 cups of beer to the eager
and grateful marathoners. A good time was had by all volunteers. Thanks
for coming out. I actually met a guy who hashed in Katmandu back in
1983. Maybe he'll come out and join us. I also saw one guy who ran
barefoot. Many were taped up and whatever they had to do to finish the
marathon. Saw one guy running on springs with both feet and lower calfs
missing. And well done to all of those in wheelchairs.
Then we went over to Turtles for the usual Sun,
Chicago Hash where SnatchSquatch and Ball Cock Dumper laid a trail of
about 3 miles. Yeah, I did at least four as one of 6 hashers who ran the
trail. I never saw Hooch B4 Cooch as he must have found trail early and
really moved on to Home plate. Found myself with Silent But Deadly and
Dr. Cockvorkian early on and we hit one of many Splits. They went west
and I found trail north. She kept going and ranging and wasn't seen
until she hit home plate. Meanwhile Dr. Cockvorkian ket on trail to
another Check He went left, right, I went right, wrong. Never saw him
again until home plate. I ran on through checks and Splits and finally
Soul Taco and Jolly Green Jizzer caught me. We struggled for a bit on
some Checks and Splits and finally I found one Check and soon they
caught me and passed me. I never saw them again until the finish at home
plate. If you were counting, that was all five and I came in DFL as
usual, sliding into home plate for a 6-0 finish. We circled at the
historic home plate before heading back to the bar for some more beer
and grub.
Great and exhausting day.
On On
