What can be said about run 1502 of the Calgary Hash House Harriers? Time is flying by as it seems like last week the hash was just finishing up run 1498. Rumor has it that Dr. Fill purchased a used Delorean on eBay and has been seen driving up and down the Deerfoot Speedway at speeds of up to 88 miles per hour! 1502 was also a significant number in ways not related to the hash (gasp, I know!)
The hash gathered up at Chelsea's bar and grill for what promised to be a fun filled night traipsing about Marlborough Park on a surprisingly warm February evening. Let's not sugar coat it too much, this is Marlborough Park after all. If Calgary had a "red neck ville" Marlborough would certainly be in the running for the title. The circle was formed, and Dr. Fill in his fine form did a fast run through of the usual exciting stuff, and the inclusion of two virgins to the hash! After the introductions were concluded, the colonie of hares were brought into the circle to explain the G memorial run. This group of most learned, wise and ancient hares reverted back to the standard CH3 marks. It was said that hashers were getting too confused by the influx of new markings. Of course, there are hashers to whom fire is a new thing, but hey, new stuff isn't always good, right? With last minute instruction of "cleats won't work. There is lots of shiggy and you would be better off with cramp-ons and ice axes" the hash was released!
It was a longish run for a winter run, and the FRB's (including the not seen in winter much but still runs like a cheetah chasing his first lady cheetah Krusty) hit EVERY SINGLE CHECKBACK and a few I think from a run set last year. There were either that many check backs, or the FRB's were following gang signs. All was good as the hash was treated to the finer sights of Marlborough Park. Things like cars with "for sale: call xxx-xxx-xxxx" being pushed back into its parking stall as it would not start and a truck being towed. Let's not mention the police sirens. As the run was extended by the check backs, Dreary, who's lungs were getting an Olympic style work out, had the dubious pleasure of being yelled at for waking up some kids. Not like the Police sirens, tow truck, and the blaring car stereos had anything to do with that.
With the hash starting to fear that the regroup had been missed, and people beginning to whine about missing beer, the BN at last was finally spotted! Two meters from the regroup. Seriously. That may have been a good thing, as who in their right mind wants to deal with a cranky beer deprived group! With the regroup beer drank, and the temperature beginning to drop, the hash headed back to the OnIn where special guest RA, her shortness, Sneevil, was set to orchestrate the evenings festivities.
Beer has been ordered, 1c riblets were not ordered (the bar had run out bah!) The down downs commenced. Well, getting off to a bad start, as of yet to be named hasher Wendy committed the heinous sin of alcohol abuse by spilling Trad. Maginally forgivable if it was some local swill. But Trad, the nectar of the hash! Someone should have a word with her, soon. Back to the down downs!
Sneevil started off by wishing everyone a happy Chinese New Years, and then began to hand out beer like it was part of the celebration!
On to piss was called, and after some socializing time the hash began to go their merry way, as some of the younger people in the crowd fired up the juke box and played "let's get the old people to leave by playing some good music." It should be noted that this "music" was made by beating a burlap sack full of tin cans with their faces.
On-On!
