Run #952 - The Speeding, Milling About and Flashing Run

November 20, 2000

Hares: Smirk, Fuhkawee
Where: Hannibals Pub, 708 - 16 Av NW
Attendance: 82

I promised to scribe and so was a little worried when I was called out of town on a job in the morning. However, I did make it back to Calgary and to the hash with just a little speeding.

I arrived at the Hannibals Pub and just managed to pay hash cash when the horns started to blow for the circle. As I was making a head count, someone started taking pictures and so got distracted and seems to recall that the number was something like 75. This included four new boots namely Karen, Claudia, John and Clark. Three visitors with Tie Me Up from Edmonton and Street Walker and On Your Knees from Ft Worth Texas.


Following announcements were made:

Pick Your Part - Sunday Grey Cup Football Run from Bottlescrew Bills
Bobbin Robin - COGS ride on Saturday at 2 pm
Left Bun - Registration for 1000th Run
Mydol - Openings available for Christmas Party on December 23rd

Hares Fukawee and Smirk showed the pack the various markings used for this run and stressed them to the new boots. And so the run started in the general direction that was pointed out by the hares. After much milling about, the trail was spotted between the buildings. Up the street and down the alley; through a playground or two. Finally ended up by the Queens Cemetery. Up the hill and down again and you could swear that the temperature dropped by at least ten degrees between those hills. Was it the doing of the residents at the cemetery???

The run continued into Confederation Park; up around and back into the park again and home to Hannibals.

One thing I noticed on the run was the lack of calling of trails. Very little on-on calls and seems that lots of people should be hollering ba-ba instead of on-on.

Editors' Notes

1000th Run: Fall Down and Be Counted

Editors, like rock stars and other sex symbols, are occasionally called upon for public service purposes, like charities for orphans and abandoned animals and the care and health of our seniors.

We ignore these as a matter of principal.

But when called on by the organizers of Calgary's Hash House Harriers 1000th Run to put our considerable moral influence behind this cause we responded immediately: "Who's calling? Are you aware that we're in the tub? Get the hell off our phone or we'll slander you mercilessly and misspell you."

But Editor #2, being more reasonable (and sober, due to his intravenous antibiotic prescription,) listened in earnest and realized that we were missing out on helping a noble cause.

Like all Canadians, Calgary Hash House Harriers ignore what's going on in our own backyard and concentrate our limited mental powers on Charlie's Angels ads through the bottom of a beer bottle.

Meanwhile, Hashers from Australia and the U.S. and England are buying up tickets for what promises to be the Greatest Event Of The Millenium.

And while we ignore the imminent raising of prices (end of December, get your chequebooks out NOW,) Eurotrashhashers are renting Audis and buying up suites at the Sheraton in order to make sure they have first dibs at the Best Hash Trash Since The Sacking Of Rome.

Sure its 10 months away, but do you want to be watching the A-Channel on August 31, 2001 and see Cher and Regis Philbin and Tony Blair running with plungers through the streets of Calgary and the mountains of the Kananaskis and be thinking "I could be there right now, and for a reasonable price, if only I had read, and listened to, my editors last November."?

Stop thinking about it, get your hands off the Playstation (or whatever you've named it,) and stalk P'tooey down with your chequebook in hand. Remember, you missed Police Academy IV , don't miss The Calgary Hash 1000th Run.

On-On,

Yer Editors
