Aloha Hash House Harriers #1706

The Veterans Day Hash

Hares: ThunderDrunk, All You Need Is Head, Fee Fi Fo Fuck, and Yukon Yak

So, there I was…

On this outstanding Veterans Day, we celebrated those who sacrificed their livers in the name of freedom. (Murrica!) We convened at the On-Start and gathered around to hear the Plan of the Day. After Chalk Talk and a quick group photo, the Hares were aweigh and we passed the time with a song, led by one of our visitors, Golden Knowledge. Soon enough, it was time to head out. Here we go, into the wild blue yonder…

The first stop was a Fireball Shot Check with ThunderDrunk, who assured the pack that there was just one more hill to go. One more hill ended up being 7. Like our favorite grunts say, for where e’er we go, you will always know that the Trail just keeps rolling along.

One of the trails had a sign proclaiming it “Digging Hill”, which Diggin’ for Love proudly pointed out. It’s worth noting that said sign also boasted an On-On sticker, so perhaps it’s a coincidence? I’m thinking that’s a negative.

From there, most of Trail had a brand-new fence alongside, which many hashers used to help themselves up those rolling hills. There were plenty of roots and lots of shiggy to go along with that, but there were gorgeous views and opportunities for Photo Checks to make the uphill hump enjoyable. They even encountered True Trail pointing straight up a pole, so it seems the Hares wanted the pack to climb high, into the sun.

After missing three weeks due to a fake war, Diddy Kong forgot how to read trail marks and made a wrong turn. At least he got to enjoy views more colorful that a 64-pack of tasty Crayola’s.

After what seemed like an eternity, everyone finally arrived at the first Beer Check, where Fee Fi Fo Fuck was waiting with icy brews. Then, the pack doubled back and made their way to the final Beer Check at Casa de Head and Yukon. There, most took a much-needed break with frosty beverages while waiting for the rest to arrive. Once everyone made it to the Beer Check and had a chance to enjoy a beer, the pack made the short march back to On-Start.

Circle commenced and the visitors and transplants were welcomed. ThunderDrunk was called up to Circle and streamered for completing 25 hashes. Accusations flew and the Hares were fingered for the somewhat misleading interpretation of just how many hills Montezuma had. After a brief discussion of where The Hashit was and who was supposed to have custody, it was awarded to Hit Dat Spit, White Boy for leaving during Circle in the noisiest way possible. I mean, who doesn’t love revving a motorcycle, though, right? Wet and Dirty accepted it on his behalf and we carried on. Those who took a modified version of trail or didn’t finish drank to the foam for going UA.  Of course, since it was Veterans Day, there were lots of songs and DD-214 Club members were honored several times. Hooyah!

A sudden downpour let loose in the middle of Circle, so we took shelter and blamed the Hares for their inability to control the weather. Shortly after, Circle was closed and several of us headed to the On-Afters.

Just Dave didn’t have his ID with him so he was promptly ejected, but the rest of us shared buckets of brews and grabbed chow. It did seem to take a suspiciously long time for how empty the place was, but we enjoyed the company and cheap beer. After one last group photo, we settled up and headed out to find more trouble on our own.

It was a fantastic day for a hash. We squids are fairly easy to please- give us a frosty beer and we’re good to go. Enough said.

Happy Veteran’s Day!
