Aloha Hash House Harriers #1719
The Super Mardi Bowel Hash
Hares: Hello Shaved Kitty, Fee Fi Fo Fuck, Torque and Lick Me, All You Need is Head
So, there I was,
Laissez les bon temps rouler!
The Hares gathered the Pack for Chalk Talk and almost right away, the wheels fell off the bus. It’s always a good sign when the Hares forget what Trail number it actually is. (Merde!) Once they had that all straightened out, Chalk Talk proceeded and after a quick group photo, it was Hares away!
Then All You Need is Head and Diddy shuttled everyone to the start. It’s worth noting that there was a rather prominent disclaimer sign at the Trailhead that 6 hikers met their demise hiking past the first peak. (In true Hasher form, this warning was abruptly ignored.)
Along the way, there was ample shiggy and plenty of super steep, almost vertical climbs. Lucky for the Pack, there were ropes to assist them. Of course, there were also an abundance of ROCKS!
F4 and Torque manned the joint Turkey/Eagle Beer check at the secluded water towers where revelers were bestowed festive beverages and had a chance to snag some Mardi Gras beads. (Show us your joke!) Those brave enough to climb the water tower ladder were treated to stunning views and acute cases of vertigo.
Some of the faster Eagles took Olomano at record pace- Jazz Hands and Cadbury made it to Kitty’s Beer check in just 29 minutes. Remembering that he is terrified of heights, it was at that point that Cadbury began questioning every single one of his life choices. That warning notice to the Trailhead must have been flashing through his mind with every step.
Following the somewhat reasonable advice of said sign, White boy bugged out just before the first peak. However, he subsequently ran into three girls from Belarus (one had a knee injury) and helped navigate them back safely. Not to be outdone in heroics, Diddy saved no less than 5 people with brute strength while descending the Eagle Trail. *Both beat their chests in Kong-like victory* He also found a sweet pick axe, but left it for some other lucky couyon. (Kitty had assured everyone that it was WAY easier than doing No Nos. Mais, non!) They are True Hash Heroes! (Seriously, we need a patch for this!)
Of course, Teenee pulled a Teenee and made an appearance near the end.
Once everyone made it ON-Home, Circle convened! Double Dipped Tip stunt-dutied for most of MisMan and welcomed the Visitors. Our Anchorage visitor, Peepaw Seesaw, initiated a patch challenge which involved “getting wet”, so while ThunderDrunk took part, Double Dip temporarily took control of circle. There were plenty of accusations, including the continued absence of DHL and the precious Hashit. (After so many weeks in a row of him hanging onto it, it must be a record length for Thunder to not even be nominated!) It was fast growing dark, so Circle was closed and the Pack dispersed.
On-Afters were held at a local BBQ joint, which was all too happy to accommodate the festive lot. They enjoyed phenomenal brisket, ribs, and Huli Huli chicken. According to many, c’est si bon!
-A bientot!
