It was the annual FARTORAMA time. Being new to this Hash I was excited with anticipation. Its reputation is well documented throughout Hashdom. Where ever you go in the Hash world, where people are having a gas, there is talk of the famous FARTORAMA.

It wasn't long after most of the pack had arrived that Kawky Horror circled the group up. It would have been a quick circle but somebody kept throwing their Knob(y) in. I'm sure his announcements were important, unfortunately I forgot to write them down. Soon the Hares were introduced as Dreary, Mum, Jaws, and Sir Edmund Hilary. From the Hares' reputation the pack was expecting a long wet one. The hares sent the pack North to the creek . Although we knew we had to go across the pack exhausted all check backs before getting their feet wet. It was nice to know that the water was only up to Baby's knees.

The path went up the North side of Fish Creek park and, for those hashers who know what they are doing, it stayed up for a long time. However I was proud of those hashers who went down every chance they got. Soon however the trail went down to the valley bottom. I would like to mention some Hashers here. However at this point I found myself a front runner, and couldn't see any one. Soon the Hash pack was on a marathon run back. The run was finally over but FARTORAMA was just beginning!

The pack quickly vacated the parking lot. However it was here that Shack Shock, after being complimented on her nice outfit, replied "only people who are completely flat should were this outfit" ....

Graciously Rubber Bumper jumped in my car to show me the way. However, I was looking forward to chilli and beer and used the map to get to the ON ON. And I must say that the iron beer was very good. As I drank it got gooder. Knobslinger agreed as he fell off his podium.....You will have to bare with me. There seems to be a tie in here...the more I drink ...the messier my notes are!

The new boots were down downed, I believe there names were Brenda, Paula, and Scott ... Dopey, Grumpy, and Doc...... and Neon Stripper.

Rubber Bumper was down downed due to her being pregnant and leaving for Edmonton. I wish her the best in the northern hash....then, and not necessarily in this order, Von Krapp was downed because he can't find his rocks???...Congratulation are in order for ClutchBag who reached her 150th Run. (Get a life!).

It was noted at this time that the Hash Camera was missing, Lost It assumes it is taking pictures somewhere in Africa????

Let's not forget the visitors and archives who were also downed: Woodstock, Fudge Packer, Double Entry, & some other guy that Any-Cock'll-do claimed for her stud, Poppy, Yellow Bitch, Twinkle, and Smells like Fish.

Last but not least I was once again awarded the Holy ?!@# Sceptre of Excellence.

After exhausting all options I fell down but continued to take notes and I could still hear the following comments concerning the day's events.:

Finally as the warm moist air rose from the crowd, and mixed with the cold sweet natural clean city air a small rain storm broke out, and it was soon time to go. I must say two thumbs up for a good run great beer and great chilli!!

See you all next week.
