Hash Trash Aloha H3
BYOE Dicklomat Trail
Hares: International Dicklomat and Peter Beater Ant Feeder
So, there I was…
On this fabulous day, most of the Pack was away at some far off, not-a-real-place location called Volcano, but a handful of loyal Wanks were ready to hit the North Shore! As our tiny group of 11 gathered, we had a chance to meet a few new faces- 3 new Transplants and one Visitor. Our Hares, Dicklomat and Peter Beater, gave a quick Chalk Talk and reminded everyone that it was a BYOE Hash and that they were welcome to bring roadies. Dicklomat also provided pre-game waters to everyone so they’d stay hydrated along the way. We blew the Hares off and the Pack soon followed.
Peter Beater, Taco Tuesday and I Auto-Hashed to his Beer Check, where we set up behind a large tree. As we sat waiting, we had delicious Mai Tais with fresh pineapple and re-applied bug spray every few minutes because those suckers just kept on cumming. Dicklomat mentioned that it may be a couple hours before the pack would make their way to the Beer Check because they’d be spending a lot of time on the sand and along the beach first and he wasn’t wrong. He had other plans that evening, so it wasn’t long before he took off. As it grew later, we started watching for the Pack from our perch at the top of the hill and sure enough, we saw the small group emerge from the other side and ramble their way through the elephant grass. There were only a handful of them, so they smartly decided to just stick together and take a nice, leisurely pace.
After a quick Beer (where they begrudged the 5 very thirsty miles they’d just walked) they headed out towards On-Home. Once the Pack was away, we packed up and headed back ourselves. We arrived back quickly, but figured it would still be a while before the rest would join us.
While waiting for the others to return, we video chatted with ThunderDrunk at Volcano, who walked us around to say hi to everyone else waiting to Circle up there. It was funny to see everyone bundled in hats and coats since we were soaking up a seriously gorgeous day and enjoying a fantastic beachy breeze to cool things down nicely. Perfectly content with our life choices, we sat back and enjoyed cold bevvies while we waited.
Eventually the rest of the pack returned and they joined us at the picnic table where we’d been relaxing. Our stand-in RA, Laa-Laa, provided us with a beautiful North Shore sky, so we had zero complaints about the weather. It was decided that since the beach was so packed and there were so few of us, we’d just Circle up right there at the picnic table. We somehow managed to keep things low key and as discreet as Circle can be, which was interesting, given the colorful songs and shenanigans.
Our Virgin was greeted and our new Transplants, The Entire Softball Team (TEST), Just Alex and Just Teresa were welcomed. The Hares were “called in,” meaning Peter Beater would answer for both he and the absent Dicklomat. When asked what we thought of their Trail, we replied that there wasn’t enough sand, miles or bug bites.
We rolled right into Accusations, so the Pack wasted no time complaining about the 5-mile Tolkien-length journey to the Beer Check. (To be fair, it was a BYOE and everyone was told to bring a roadie and was given a pre-game water to take along, as well.) We auto-Hashers proudly took a Down Down for motoring to the Beer Check instead of walking all that way with the Beer, ice, and Mai Tais. Ain’t no shame in that Mai Tai game.
Then it was Hashit time! The Hashit was brought forth and and it was immediately apparent that it had undergone some serious training because it now looked more svelte than ever. (Get it, gurl!) When Laa-Laa called for nominations, it was put to a vote and ultimately decided that our absent RA ThunderDrunk would have that honor. Laa-Laa even took a video of the deliberation and shared it with the group in case there was any doubt.
One special Announcement was made to honor Daddy Issues, ManShatten’s beloved Hash pup Kaya, who passed away the night before. We had a moment of silence and and gave a toast in her honor. On-On and On-Up, Daddy Issues. You were loved and will be missed.
After other Announcements were made and Circle was closed, we had just enough time to stop and catch the stunning sunset from the beach. Then, everyone trekked the oh, so long journey to get burgers and Beer. As usual, the brews were frosty and the burgers tasty. Not a bad way to spend the evening!
On-On!
