HVH3 #71 Hash Trash "Worcester's Great Invasion"
(The Hash Previously known as HVH3 #64)


Hare: Comes on Vacation
Where: Cushman Village common
When: Th May 22, 2003
The Pack: HVH3: Comes on Vacation (Hare), NFN Herb the sub-mariner, Canis Lickus De-funkt Worcester: Black Hole, Master-Nater/Baiter, My-newt Dick, Just Toby, Just DJ?/Deege?, Virgin JT21 legal in all 50 states Kendra

So there we were, one of those typical Late Winter/Early Summer May evenings... both of us... wondering if this would turn into a beer check retreival hash.

And then in the not so distant distance roars the ever dependable NFN Herb (two hashes in a row, we're easy to please), all the way from somewhere in CT.

So, we pondered a bit as to whether we had the appropriate quorom to properly commit hash, when via actually functioning high-technology a crew from Worcester rang that it was on it's way. Six, yes six, soon to arrive hashers forced our hare into setting trail.

Chalk talk and a full 14:30 Cranium start for the hare and pack of 8 is off. Checks run out down railroad tracks and streets before a most awful Check Back 8 found by yours truly. The pack had meanwhile managed to discover the obvious trail back those 8 checks, by just checking that little side trail into the woods. If only I had followed that back there.

Woodland trails split thisaway and thataway with true trail being the most uphill, of course. And glory of glories a beer check where there was much joy from the Worcester hash with the discovery of Geeny Screamers (That'd be Gennesse Cream Ale brewed from the freshest water Rochester,NY has the offer, some sort of rice/grain mixture and the barest waving of hops in the general vicinity of the brewery, oh, it's quality I tell yah!) Every last drop was taken care of and off again.

The pack took off again following wooded trail, running out check after check. Graciously, true trail ran down hill... for a bit... Over the hill and through the woods and over the river... (couldah been a cool water crossing, hare... but I digress... again) Your scribe was oh so cockily ahead (who said?) of the pack at this point when "the check that would not die" appeared. Running out three, count 'em three, falses with the help of NFN Deege, who then found true trail into the sand pits. Wet shoes, sand... good mix. Winding thisaway and thataway it became clear that the hare had just gotten herself lost in there when trail dashed for the woods, over road, bridge, along river and up the railroad tracks, which by this time, the pack had crossed three times. On back to the start, where we waited for the ever straggling Master-Nater/Baiter who will likely be able to give great details about every inch of trail... Not to outdone NFN Herb pulled in just before the search crews were notified.

(the choronological order, severity, and details of above events may have been altered for dramatic effect and to fit your email window)

Circle was lamely led by your GM and scribe, Canis L. (where's that Flutterboy) with FRB, DFL, FBI, Virgin, Hare, shortcutting, and "hey, you didn't get one yet" down-downs spread about the pack. All to the choruses of barely intelligible lyrics. (note to self: practice hash songs when possible; grocery store, driving to work, meetings, jury duty, dentist chair are all available upcumming times)

And no one even looked at the great big stone salamander in the middle of Cushman common. Well, there was beer...

On-After at the Harp with pitchers of fine Boddingtons, Guiness, Sierra, BBC Maibock. We learned far more than needed about the size of Black Hole's bladder, the competiveness of Just DJ regarding this, the joys of months under water in a big 'ol tube with 119 other men and 60 bunks, the best countries in Europe for; Porn, Brothels, Cheap booze, women willing bed with any sailor that can walk, best male- female and male-male ratio (depending on your persuasion) in no particular order: Britain, Norway, Deutschland, Italy?, Denmark and some others. You Match 'em up the way you prefer, perhaps do the research yourself in just a few years donated to the defense of your country. There was also a Navy vs. Airforce verbal repartee match-up which presently stands at 40-15, respectively. Other stuff about how easy it is to get hit on while in Austrailia, genuine Virginal status, the propensity for Master N/B to fall into South Park voice, the correct pronunciation of Mynewt, and whether small children are appropriate for a bar like the Harp finished out the evening.

If the Worcester hashers found their way home and via what route is a question that remains unanswered.
