Columbian H3 Trail 641 - 18 Sept 2011
We enjoyed a nice, leisurely Hash Trail yesterday through the Olympia neighborhood. As the Grand Master stated, “Normally when we are Hashing we are running and in a hurry, so we don’t get a chance to really see the neighborhood”. I think we saw all the historical and relevant structures and areas and even had time to chat with some of the locals. Whether it was on purpose or by accident Abusement Park (the Hare) impressed us with her low-key approach to setting Trail, while escorting the slow Wankers who were walking, and she provided color commentary about the neighborhood, in addition to laying the final touches on the Trail for the runners who were not short cutting. She is a true ambassador for Olympia......and is part of the fabric of the community, whether you are a crack head, moped gang leader, crazy cat woman with thirty sick felines, several brothers occupying one trailer, many unleashed mangy dogs wandering the street growling at these invaders who carried neither bone nor attempted a friendly pat on the cranium. Apparently, this is a safe neighborhood because Abusement Park said she called the police twice in the early morning hours as a party raged next door but they never showed. Just goes to show that sometimes the Columbia police department trust the locals to settle their differences and work together to maintain neighborhood harmony.
With all Hounds accounted for we convened a Circle in the middle of the street, despite our concern that vehicles would interrupt the proceedings.....we were just to lazy to initiate an alternate plan, and since it appeared most of the locals were either watching football, still hung over or high from the night before, or we somehow had intimidated them, we did not have many pass through to see what all the hub-bub was about. We welcomed a visitor.....Pluck A Duck who has Hashed in the farthest reaches of the south Pacific, and we welcomed our good friend Juggs from Wrightsville Beach H3/Blackie’ville H3 who keeps showing up on our Trails. The Circle was so laid back that Alice In Lick-Her-Land wandered off and went to her car and fell quickly and soundly asleep.....the life of a Lexington Diva must be exhausting........we hope to see her in the new reality TV show, “The Real Housewives of Lexington County”.
Fowl Finger served as Beermeister and also reminded everyone that we will be taking orders for the annual World Peace Through Beer shirts soon. With all other Hash business complete, we began crafting an appropriate name for our lovely Harrierette..........No Name Bianca. With the help of Indiana Bones and Pay to Lay (Question: If Pay To Lay had a boyfriend, would he be called Pay Pal?) we gathered information and then let Bianca blabber on for awhile while we ignored her input. As it was getting dark, and we were hungry we adjourned to the Thirsty Fellow for food and beer but declared we would not end the night until we had found a name for Bianca. Several names and themes were explored and debated, but it was our visions of her as a pretty, young, innocent high school cheerleader that haunted us.......and after she provided a personal demonstration of her cheerleading skills.......we had found the right Trail to follow to find her name. So henceforth, and forever more, because we have never seen such a beautiful display of the splits on a bar room floor, Bianca is now affectionately known as Lick-Ity Splits. Shish Boom Ba........Ra Ra Ra! Go Team Go! Congratulations to her! On On!
Our next Columbian H3 Trail is Trail #642 which will be on Sunday October 2nd. The scheduled Hares are Delivery Boy, Peter Short Fellow, and the Cripple......Bashful.
We will be conducting a Columbian H3 Mismanagement Meeting tentatively scheduled for next Wednesday September 28th.
On On!
Keep your Hash shoes dry and I will see you on Trail and in the Circle.
Bashful
