HVH3 #100 Hash Trash

We nonchalantly marked the cumming and going of the Happy Valley 100th with a good ol fashioned "normal" hash this past thursday.

HVH3 Hash #:100 "Farewell to Madame Flutterby"

Hare: Me ( AC )
Start: Under the power lines at the end of Plains Rd. in the Montague Plains, in Montague, Mass.
Date: August 12th.

Hounds: Cainus Lickus, Comes On Vacation, Dewey Do Me, Just Scott, Madame Flutterby, Yeast Injector.
Virgins: Just Matt, and Just Chris.

The afternoon saw heavy downpours throughout the Montague area so this hare had to live hare a hash for perhaps the first time ever. I axed for a ten minute cranium start and I think I was actually granted a full ten minutes. I had managed to prelay a short leg away from the SP and have it come back to the SP so the first beer check was at the start. From there I laid trail thru a sandpit just as it was being exited by a faithful follower of Charelton Heston. His small arms looked to be no bigger than .22 cal. Trail then took advantage of many twisty turning trails and figure eighted back to the SP for the second beer check. I stopped along the trail because one leg came close to a previous section and I was almost seen by Madame Flutterby. But as I waited for the coast to be clear I heard the Railroad whistle of COV so I started to finish the trail back to "A". But then Flutterby and Yeast Injector emerged onto my trail so I had to sprint back while laying the last of the hash marks. ('Sprinted' eh? woulda loved to see that. -ed.)

Total trail was about 2 1/2 miles and the rain managed to stay away.

At the circle Flutterby axed for nominations to suckseed him as the new RA. Most of us quickly shouted " NOT IT " but COV wasn't quick enuf and was nominated by CL. The I's had it and COV is now the RA.

Flutterby and COV then jointly RA'd the circle. The virgins were questioned, but they had been properly advised earlier by their uncle, yep, me. That's right, I exposed my relatives to the Hash and both nephews thoroughly enjoyed it.

Also at the circle someone questioned the newness of my sneakers, but I avoided the standard repulsive down down because their newness was hidden by layers of flour and mud. "Psyche!" (Bastard! -ed.)

For the On In we all proceeded to the Monthly meeting of the Valley Fermenters in Old Deerfield where we enjoyed dessert and sweet wine varieties. Just Scott had brought along a small keg of delicious Hefeweizen which the VF folks really liked.

Oh yeah, then we went back to Chez Sheep and drank beer until midnight.

Yo mos' humble scribble,
AC

next hash: August 26th. Hare will be Cainus Lickus and the start will be at Mike's Westview Cafe aka "The Harp" in North Amherst. Hopefully since it'll be in Amherst we'll see some Amherst backsliders show up ( Yeah, Just Arne, and Just Courtney, there's a down down waiting for ya.)
