Run #822 - Oh No!! It doesn't show up!!!

October 19, 1998

Hare: 007 & Hot Flashes
Location: Edworthy Park

Need I say it looked to be a very dark evening approaching us as we gathered in the South parking lot of Edworthy Park. A few brave souls were still wearing shorts, trying to pretend that summer is still here. While others fighting off a cold were dressed appropriately with toque, mitts & cuddly fleece. A circle started to form out of nowhere (what happened to the good old days of total chaos and no formalities like circles) we are a very conditioned bunch of blocks. Finally our super hero Pole Vault asked for any announcements, which there were too many to repeat, and the Hares were introduced, Double 07 and Hot Flashes. We could tell that something was up right away as they both had very smug looking faces as they proceeded to tell us about the markings. Fluorescent Green Tape that 007 insisted would glow in the dark. I hate to break it to you 007 but it is bright so you can see it better in the day light. Then the Hares went over to a cement pillion to show us the Chalk marks, when all of a sudden there was a scream of "Oh No!! It doesn't show up!!!" If you haven't guessed it, Green Chalk does not show up in the dark either.

We started out in Twilight, a very beautiful Glow that illuminated the wonderful Douglas Fir Trail as we wound our way through. Nobody was dong any major whining yet, but it didn't last too long as wee soon came upon the stairs from hell!!. Up and Up we went (did anyone see any green chalk marks??) When we finally came out of the forest and onto the street there was a mass confusion at the top when I arrived. (did anyone see any Green Tape??) Soon I noticed a bizarre and definitely Hash Shit worthy scene. It was our Hare 007 fropping until he found his own marks and showed us the way. (did anyone see any green chalk??) We think it was a ploy to try to keep the pack together, (don't give them many marks and then use green chalk as well!!) I must say it worked fabulously, the pack stayed together right to the bitter end.

The ON IN

RA - Lakey

Down Downs to the Hares : Double 07 & Hot Flashes to the tune of "Its a Dark World"

Tails from the Dark

  • A spy to our RA about Lost It getting other people lost.
  • Airbrakes for having to be physically shown where the marks were (I thought this happened to everyone)

The neighborhood is talking : it was seen that there were 6 hashers studying a LampPost for marks, know one knows if they actually found chalk marks or marks from the neighborhood dog. Krusty, Suck Her, Always with Wings, Fuckcowee, Kawky Horror, & Swallow It, all did Down Downs.

Sexual Assault : Moonshine (hey if your going to get adown down this is the best kind) for running into a pedestrian.

Stranger for coming back from Malaysia with a rash. Very ugly stuff.

Last, a Man with no life : A kinder more gentler, sensitive man in a pink shirt : Nipple Detector for 50 runs.
