Run #837 - Gamboling and Gambling

January 4, 1999

Hares: Neon Stripper and Knobslinger
Location: River Inn Casino

After much fretting and gnashing of teeth, the day arrived for my first duties with the Hash. If you gnash your teeth about the bash, are you doing the Hash Gnash? What if I make an ass of myself? Am I supposed to make an ass of myself? Well don't worry, I already have.

The weather gods shone favourably down upon the fellow hashers. I found the bash after doing a tour of the Casino, as did everyone else. Crusty suggested we "invest" the hash cash in the VLT's. Knobby was doing his 300th hash, introduced the hash including visitors Sister Maria and Fuzz Buster from Penn. and Goldilocks.

I hooked up with Batman who work this "shtick" about when we talked last. Was it Wednesday. No, No, it was Thursday. Or was it Friday.... perhaps Saturday? or Sunday! From watching Batman skipping at the YMCA, I knew the pace would be brisk because of his high level of fitness.

We headed out through beautiful Victoria Park. I usually avoid Vic Park when on foot at night, but I guess there is safety in numbers - 007 went with Batman after about 15 minutes. My first run in about three weeks, the killer called Scotchmans Hill and a few wrong turns, left me running by my lonesome. I've heard of "short cuts", is there such a thing called a "long cut'? I did get to see Butthead go for style points with his drop and slid. After, the "B" man discussed the finer parts of the fall backwards vs. "play hard or go home", Pole Vault's fall forward.

Heard during the hash: ACD was going "hash gnash" about a pending Condo Owner's Meeting to discuss the New Year's perceived debacle.
