Thu
Jun 14, 2018, was the start of the 40th Anniversary of Hashing in Chicago with Horn-E
laying a trail from the Double Bubble. A pack of about 20 took off
towards Loyola and then worked its way past the hares house for a beer
stop. But it wasn't there. Somehow about half the pack found the beer
stop by not following trail and guessing where it might be and entered
this little park from the north. The rest followed the trail and finally
found the park from the south. From here we returned to the bar where
Gay Dancer led a nice circle in the beer Garden.
On Fri Jun 15, 2018, we had,The First Crack of the Moon Hash set by Son
Of Spam from The Wise Owl. A nice pack of about fifteen hounds followed
trail to a small park where we held circle. I left shortly after while
the pack headed back to the bar and I heard they drank late into the
night.
On Sat Jun 16, 2018, we started with a short Bushman Hash.
Seventeen hounds on trail. Wow. It was from Dam #4 Woods and a prelube
to the main Celebration Hash. When I arrived I found that it rained real
hard overnight and the picnic area had spots with about 3 inches of
water. Right in the direction of the planned trail. Well, if we are
going to get wet, it might as well be right at the start. Trail headed
through some woods and finally across Devon for the serious woods. A
boring trail along the river, or winding in the woods. Winding in the
woods was planned and there were patches of water that we couldn't get
around. Eventually the trail veered away from the river into some
serious brush. I knew there was a prairie, but getting to it was a
problem. Finally we emerged at a path of sorts. Three parallel paths
like they were made by a three wheel car. And all full of water, three
to five inches and slippery. Trail finally got through the prairie and
into some nice woods and finally to a muddy tunnel under Devon. From
there is was a bike path to B. Beer was on a peninsula into a swamp, but
one crazy wanker just plunged mid thigh deep in the swamp to retrieve
the beer. I got a quick Down Down and left them to a Bushman circle so I
could lay the next part of the trail.
Sat, Jun 16, 2018, I
had a last minute Co Hare, Snotcho Mama, and he helped save the day. We
took off for some quick woods and then headed for the river. When
scouted on Wed, it was muddy, but looked like it would dry by Sat. But
those damn rains in our wettest June in history. It was now deep in
river overflow and full of floating ground clutter and such. Since the
trail would just parallel a higher level path, we went for the path.
Most of the pack would have done that anyway. And we sort of followed
this path on and off until we hit Touhy. And it was slippery and with
occasional water areas. After crossing the river we had a T and E trail.
Snotcho Mama went straight on Touhy to a large picnic area and gave the
Turkeys a twisting course through the area to the First Beer Stop.
Meanwhile I headed into the Eagle trail, mostly paralleling the river
through fairly open forest. When planning the trail I headed inland and
eventually saw a swamp I missed. This time, with high waters, I headed
inland sooner and found a nice forest to run through and there was that
beautiful swamp. Reeds that were 12 to 15 feet high. I couldn't resist. I
headed straight into the reeds. While the live growth was high and
formidable looking, when I got into it I found that the previous years
dead growth was criss crossed in fromt of me making forward progress
almost impossible. Just forcing myself through for about 30 yards. It
had to be well over fifteen minutes to get through this mess including
climbing over fallen trees and three inches of water. From here it was a
short bit of woods to the beer stop.
After the beer stop we headed to the south and another T and E split,
Turkey was set by me, just straight south along River Road. The woods to
the left were impassible and would not have been fun if we could have
gotten in and out of them.
Meanwhile Snotcho Mama crossed the street into a zone of hotels and
offices and made the trail up as he went along, including one wall
climbing. We had to do the best we could with a bad situation.
Then we hit beer stop number 2, on Devon and just south of the finish. Turkey could have a beer and walk back.
Eagles had one more section and we were off laying this section through
woods that were fairly open when we suddenly heard the Eagles yelling On
On. We were about to get caught. Snotcho Mama yelled, I'll set a long
Back Check and took off to the east and after laying the Back Check, he
circled back to me. Meanwhile I set off into another prairie, laying TP
as I ran through almost invisible and over grown paths where I attempted
a few Splits and forks in the paths. We finally rejoined to the west of
the prairie and headed back to the On In part of the trail, along that
same bike path the Bushman finished on. And soon Hooch Br Cooch came
running on by.
As we finished, Hashers were hitting the local fresh water pump to clean
up a bit. Feather got the grill going with chicken, burgers, hot dogs
and other goodies. After grub, Horn-E set out three blocks of ice for
the circle. USS Cum On My Face led the circle and we pretty much all got
on ice multiple times on a long and fun circle. After circle it was
pretty much clean up and go home. And we did. Great time.
Sun was to be a hangover hash
set by Rag Time Hash and The Cock Whisperer and Rusty Grundel. I was to
hung over, well, not really. Just whipped and needing a day off. Hope it
all went well.
Mon Nun 18, 2018, was the Chicago Hash set
by Hooch B4 Cooch and Dr Cockvorkian and the 40th Anniversary of the
Chicago Hash. More damn rain. 22 hounds got about 1.5 miles into the
course when they hit, hard and whiped out all sense of trailI was with a
pack of six and someone got on Facebook and found the Beer Stop was
three blocks away at the back yard of Menstrual Casserole. From there,
Hooch B4 Cooch laid another quick trail to the parking area behind Its
Too Soft's condo. Finfishing a keg from Sat. Then we went back to
Durkins for a fun circle where the virgins were quite prominent in
getting nailed for many down Downs. Welcome mon Just Candy and daughter,
Just Stacy.
Jun 18, 2018, The actual 40th Anniversay of Hashing in Chicago.
Horn-E laid a trail from Big Joe's. We had 8 hounds for a promised short
laid back trail and it was. Second Cuming came in first in about 298
minutes. Its Too Soft led the rest about five minutes later with Just
Bob pulling up the rear. A quick beer stop and back to the bar for a
laid back, sitting circle that we did Full moon style and we just kept
going on and on through about 8 pitchers. And we named Just Bob,
Magnetic Muffs loooong time friend, StuffinMuffin.

Horn-E
Last Week: Last Week:
On
Tue May 8, 2018,we had a pick up hash set by Lifa and Just Michael. We had eight
hounds. Not bad for an impromptu hash, The hares ran us past about every
beer stop we use in the area before holding in in a parking lot across
the street from Double Bubble. We had one visitor, Screams Do Cum Thru
from the Skull N Boner Hash in Conneticunt. She managed to keep Horn-E
running most of the way, but they still almost came in last.
Then on Thu, May 10, 2018, the Thirstday Hash was set by Lifa. Yes,
again. this time from Rose's and another different beer stop as he ran
us on a twisting trail and lost Horn-E. Yes, again. But we had a nice
circle in the bar and the bar tender loves us. We also had 18 hounds on
trail.
Then
on Sat May 12, 2018, we had a Big Dog Hash thirteenth Analversary hash where it all
started, Caldwell Woods. This time the hare was, yes again, Lifa. Is he
trying to dominate Chicago Hashing. This time we had a surprising 8
hounds on trail. It started out like Noah was planning the trail. As I
approached the area, the rain started. And it poured, wiping out the
trail. But there was a field house and we all gathered there. Finally
Lifa took off to relay the trail. Out in the woods we headed, only to
get a quick Back Check. This led to some serious shiggy along the river
and a Check near Milwaukee. The road, not the city. Horn-E guessed right
and went left and somehow found trail and led the pack through three
more Checks before the King Of Bedbugs took over and led us through some
streets and alleys and doing all of the wrong ways on Splits until we
came back to the woods. And there was Lifa, waiting with beer, right by
the first Back Check. After the Beer Stop we headed for a pavilion where
we froze through a short circle and some good brats, polish and burgers
before finally giving up and leaving. Good time.
Okay, the next hash was on Mon. May 14, 2018, The
Chicago Hash. I was told it would be USS Cum On My Face as the hare of our first CH3 Monday night
trail from Redmonds.our first CH3 Monday night
trail from Redmonds. our
first Monday night hash of the year. Not. He never showed. Somehow we
got three taking credit for haring. What did Menstrual Casserole do?
Silent But Deadly meanwhile laid trail twice and when I arrived, it was a
total washout. That's two hares that weren't leaving the bar. But Gay
Dancer, our exulted Grand Master grabbed some chalk and went out to
relay a total washed out trail. He had us wandering all over the place
as we manged to run On and On for 55 minutes. And the winner was,
Horn-E. Well, actually, the three of us, including Its Too Soft and Eat
My Pussy, managed to mostly stay together, while taking turns leading
the pack. And we arrived at the last Triple split almost together.
Horn-E got to pick second and was on and so he came in first. BFD. And
Its Too Soft actually left the Checks and Splits and found some on his
own. But we managed a fun circle and we named the manager of Redmonds,
COM, as in Cum On Monday. He plans to join us. On Monday. Now,
where were the rest of the Chicago Hashers? We are on Monday nights
now. When I joined hashing in prehistory, we used to get about 50 hounds
for the first Monday night trail. Three? The rain stopped and the
weather was great. Lets get out there.
On Tue, 1 May 2018, we had an A to B Chicago Full Moon Hash out
of Harringtons, set by Delta Ten Freakuency and Stiffy 4 Stiffies. He
said she planned most of it with a map and everything, and he only
tweaked it a little. For a relatively new hare, well'''''', not toooo
baaaad. Really, she twisted us around the area quite well. But the trail
get strung out with a front pack and a back pack. Yep, I was in that
pack. We eventually lost Menage A Twat. Getting to long. Then we
struggled in an alley before Horn-E found trail through a gangway. Then
we hit a Check at Clark and Belmont, with an arrow with a question mark
on it. I ran a long, long way before finding out there were only two
arrows. Coming back, we started over and Meat Inside Her checked to the
west, then east, finding nothing. She didn't go far enough to the west.
So, I started the tactic of ever widening circles, looking for a mark.
Eventually I found the trail while the others knew where the finish was
and headed straight to Its Too Soft's roof deck. Meanwhile I ran on,
west, south, west, north, and finally a BN. Then two marks later was a
Back Check. auugghh!!!. Now why didn't someone in the front pack mark
that point I had to run back to. Damn. South and east and past an
unmarked Check and finally to the roof deck. Circle was going on. I
grabbed a beer and headed off to a corner to rest a bit and rehydrate
(yes especially that).
Thu May 3, 2018, was the Thirstday Hash set by Cumma Slutra and 69
Cent Man, the annual Polish Constitution Day Hash from Bialystok. What
is the point of this hash? To prove that the Polish can pass off ten
year old beer, kept in a garage for ten years through heat wave and
freezing, and still pass it off to tired thirsty old hashers as long as
it is on ice? I digress. The pack was off on time. I wasn't there on
time. But I ran on after them and most of the Splits and Checks were
marked. I finally caught four walkers and passed them. Then around the
block I had to pass them again, and then again and yet one more time
before getting to the usual beer stop on a front porch. After one of the
cold current PBRs, we headed back to the bar where our Grand Mattress
led us in circle and did a good job. Well, sort of. We helped with a lot
od songs and she finished off with the days of the week. The virgins
seemed to enjoy the circle and hopefully wll return. All was good and
the beer was cold.
Sun 6 May 2018, was the anal Cinco De Mayonaise Hash, again
not on the fifth of May. It was set by TampOn TampOff from Simone's and
was supposed to be A to B. Was food served. Hot Tampons? Was Rosie
there?
On
Wed, Apr 25, 2018, we had the The Whiskey Wednesday Hash set by Stiffy
4 Stiffies and Puzzled In The Sack from the Bar On Buena. There were 15
hounds on trail and the trail headed a bit south east to the edge of
Lincoln Park before heading north and eventually in to the park for a
Whiskey Stop. The trail then weaved a bit as it headed north before back
into the dreaded city streets. We worked our way south and towards the
hares house. Whiskey Stop!!!. Not. The hare sucked us all in and the
lights were out. Well done. The trail went on to
the park and then back west along Montrose to the El Tracks and south
to Buena for a beer stop. Beer Stop? This is Whiskey Wednesday. Whiskey
stops and a short circle. The hell with what Horn-E drinks. But the beer
was cold, even of only Coors Light. After a short circle we went back
to the Bar On Buena where our favorite bartender in all of Chicago was
working. Smells Like Twat Sweat. And good service too.
Then we had a Thu, Apr 26, 2018, Thirstday Hash the next day. It was Just Michaels
virgin lay and he had Horn-E showing him the ropes. Actually it was a
great hash. Would I lie. Well, probably. But I won't talk about how
great I thought it was. Here are the bitches I heard. To much running
alleys along Lincoln Ave. Too obvious. Got hung up near Trader Joes.
Hey, the check only had two Falses. And to damn much straight north on
Ravenswood. Even with the two zig zags we added. But finally the hash
got to the finish at a park at Montrose and Lincoln as Second Coming led
almost the whole pack in at the same time. Well, Stiffy 4 Stiffies and
Mommys Little Accident did come in about 3 or 4 minutes later. Any time I
can nail a few FRBs and they come in DFL, I'll take it. Good sign of a
good hash. Maybe. Back at the bar we had a good circle and as the only
people in the bar, we could sing anything we wanted.
On Sun, Apr 29, 2018, was The
Chicago Hash set by Gay Dancer and Silent But Deadly from the Chicago
Historical Museum at the southern tip of Lincoln Park. The pack had just
left to I dropped off my shag bag and was off to the races. But the
trail didn't head into the park on a beautiful cloudless day. No, south
through an alley and pavement pounding the whole way. Splits and Checks
were swept. Good. Sweep marks had two glaring errors along the way.
Bad. Hooch B4 Cooch,
another late comer, caught me along Division and we got to a Check at La
Salle on the south east corner. It had a sweep mark pointing straight
south. Two blocks later and we had no marks. Coming back on the WEST
side of the street and we found marks at Division and La Salle on the
WEST side of the street. That might have helped to point the sweep marks
across the street to another path. But we ran on. About two blocks
later there was a Split. West and south. South was marked. Two blocks
later there were no marks. Returning on the WEST side of the street,
there was a arrow found pointing south west into a park. That is six
extra blocks. But I ran on and it was just some simple trail that
eventually led to a long straight on Larrabee. A block to the west and
north on another long block. Would we have a beer stop in Oz Park. Not
hardly. At Armitage we had a right turn and five straight blocks towards
Lincoln Park. Finally a Check at Lincoln and we headed north and east
to the entrance to the Zoo. Straight through and then two blocks north
to a Triple Split at Fullerton. Marked left, the trail headed west to
Stockton and a long straight trail south. Passed the Zoo entrance we
just entered. Now here would have been a good point for a sweep to mark a
short cut to the south around that boring loop. Two blocks later we had
our last Check. Finally we head straight into the park. But over a
bridge and that was the last mark I saw. Past a side path and a road and
no marks. Returning to that path I ranged and went over the hill by the
statue and still no marks. I finally saw a crowd of people at the end
of the lagoon and it was the pack and the finish. Circle had already
started and Roofie Ragu led a good circle. After circle the pack
dissipated slowly and finally there were just four of us finishing off
the beer in the setting sun on a beautiful day. I counted 28 in circle. Minus two hares and about five or six who didn't run and we had about 20 hounds on trail.

Last Week:

Tue,
Apr 17, 2018, we had a First Crack of the Moon Hash set by Ice Princess and
Jizzy from Weathermark Tavern. We had nine hounds on trail as they wound
us around the south loop and into Grant Park and finally the usual park
near the bar. Then we had a sitting circle in the bar and got around to
naming Just Wendy. I was hoping for Ecuahor but we finally settled on,
and I hope I have this spelling right, Delta Ten Freakquency. No I don't
know why.
Thu, Apr 19, 2018, brought us our weekly Thirstday Hash from Irish Eyes and set by
Furry Spice and Soul Taco. We had 15 hounds on trail and we ran to a
quick shot stop within two or three blocks. From there it was north
along Clark and then to the west. A big loop to the south and the usual
park a block away for a quick beer stop. Then it was back to the bar for
a quick circle.
On Sat Apr 21, 2018, morning Sandy Syphillis hosted and hared
a Rag Time Hash from her apartment. Don't know who, what or anything
else, but I'm sure it was a good time with lots of Champagne and brunch
thingies.
The Bushman Hash was on Sat Apr 21, 2018, and Horn-E laid
trail from Leckowitz Woods. This was to be the usual flower hash, but
with the cold spring, I could barely spot a few hundred buds as compared
to the usual millions of yellow flowers. So I set off to lay a normal
Bushman trail. As I walked the trail I came near Caldwell Road. I try to
avoid being near roads whenever possible, but trying to avoid wetlands
for the pack, I came up to the road and along comes a car. Someone yells
On On, but I don't recognize him in the shadows of the back of the car.
I yelled out something to me, but I couldn't understand him with the
traffic noises and he wasn't speaking English. He was speaking
Australian. Duh. Somehow he found the start and at 2pm, with no one
around, he took off on trail until the local tree police showed up. He
then came back to the start and there was the pack forming. Two non
runners, bad knees and hips, The Gas Stop Bob and Or G. But we had
R-Tard-E, Lower Wackoff and False Advertising waiting to actually run.
The Aussie is Just Steve and he will be around in the next several
weeks. So the pack of four was soon off and I headed with the beer for
the B stop along the river with the non runners. Eventually we saw the
pack on the other side of the river while we were bird watching. Several
hawks, either looking for lunch of feeling the warmer spring weather
and looking for a comapnion. We had a cooler of beer and a nice easy
going circle before heading to the Nil for a few more pitchers. And
False Advertising took off quickly with the visitors bag in his trunk.
Ooops. And we didn't have his phone number. But Gas Stop Bob managed to
locate Lifa somewhere around the world and he came up with the number
and False Advertising had to return to the bar and have another beer.
Poor boy.
Now Sun, Apr 22, 2018, was a way out of the normal range of
the Chicago Hash as we ran from Rainbow Beach at 77th St and the
Lakefront. Almost two hours for me to get there by pubic transit. And I
barely made it before the pack was off. SnatchSquatch and Hobo
Piss were the hares and Hobo Piss did a good job of sweeping for 14
hounds as we entered unknown territory. South through the park and then
into old factory zones, now looking like a war zone without a building
in sight, but many old roads and fields of shiggy. And the trail went on
and on to the south and I was barely able to keep the leaders in sight
and occasionally caught a little bit of a short cut. Eventually I saw
the pack heading west and over Route 41 at 87th St. Another huge field
and I found myself with a bit of a short cut and chasing FRBs across the
field and near these huge concrete walls. I mean thick like fifteen
feet at the base. We went towards the lake and finally around one of the
walls and to a beer stop. Here we had a beer as hashers climbed over
the no climbing signs and enjoyed the view. Then we were off again
around the next wall and into the rape tunnel. Actually a long tunnel in
the wall with many openings. This was all part of the old abandoned U.
S. Steel plant and this tunnel had a purpose, but for us, it was
something different to run through. At the end we ran along a slip from
Lake Michigan. Probably for the old ore boats. No, not whore boats. Then
we had to climb over the slip and past the dead birds floating below in
the polluted water. From here it was back towards the lake and then
long fields like we already ran with high weeds and abandoned roads to a
final beer stop. Then a short run back through the park to the finish.
We got out a grill and started cooking dogs and burgers and held a
freezing circle in the cold winds off of the lake. From there I got a
ride with Stiffy 4 Stiffes to the north side and saved over an hour
travel time. Interesting historic hash. Someday it will all be
sterilized housing and fancy parks and same ole same ole city running.
