Even though the local population was devastated by the outbreak of a flubug the undaunted H3SoB kennel rallied for a wonderful Saturday trail that was set by our very own “Cum Solo”, aka Swine #1 in elite haring circles. The pack gathered, without those colorful auntie-GERM facemasks, at the Butterfly Preserve parking lot (just north of Ellwood Bch) on a sunny though blustery afternoon for our little Saturday trot. We were promised three beer checks, some shiggy, a little dampness and darkness and some distance. (sans hills and valleys of course) It was a very tall order or very cheeky boast of a trail depending on what side of the circle you were on….. the sweaty trembling hare was over there and we, the overly edgy eager drooling lipsmacking pack, were over here…. the scent of “hare blood” and “yummy beer”was in the air…
So sometime near the appointed start time things got going. (((Ya know there is nothing like HASH Central Time (HCT) to make you feel like you are always on time. And it shows alot of respect to be on time and sometimes makes possible the swilling of just one more bevy before yer out the door. Remember that there are no rules in the HASH, only some curvy guidelines and that goes for watches, clocks and that time thing too. Ya can even get to the Hash the following day and still be on time… its sort Einsteinian!!!! just look for curved trail ))(and curvy tail )
……… So we had virgins, newbies, wannabies, wahenies, weinies, walkers, stalkers, runners, and a few others. But our numbers were a bit off because of some ridiculous “flu fear” and the Hash fashionistas couldn’t find the right mod med mask to match their shorts(where is dripper when you need him?) There was also an away campout event in Tehachipeepee that we would (eventually) like a report on and the Wild Masochistic Flour Power event, up north.( that shoulda been a hash but wasn’t. Too bad for U! and Us know who UR! you ewes!) Thats Ok! we had a couple dozen for our fun and adventures despite the distracktions.
Our pack was a good one with a variety of experience, speed and enthusiasm levels from the hasher harriette mix. Our sometimes scribler, IPF, was there too and he got things going by sneaking out early and solving a couple checks and enjoying one beer check before getting lost for good. The pack caught up to him near the butterfly bedroom in the Ellwood eucalyptus forrest. (apparently he forgot again, flour spots are trail? ) Our pack saw the preserve, the Ellwood hood, industrial park and the RR tracks (did I say RR TRACKS!) Can you say RAILROAD TRACKS? I guess that swine, SOLO!!! can because he really likes em. We spent a tootsy smiting mile and forever on em.. (but I guess to have a AMTRAK moon opportunity was worth it and we did and the passengers liked it, they put their tongues on the windows!) A bit later we got a little wet in the flood channel, had another automotive mooning opportunity (optional), slipped through a big ole wet and dark tunnel that separates Goletata from Goletia and visited the DP cross country course. That last beer check, the one in the creek bed at the course, was really appropriate for this trail because we crossed around 8 country miles just getting there.
The ON-IN and Down Downs! were held at a friendly little park in the middle of the burbs. Presided over by BloHo, they were short butt sweet…. we did manage a little naming……. bye bye Jstepanie you smiley laughing wench you……… she has been around for along time so it was overdue………… hello! to JzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZ! with an emphatic ZZZZZZZZ! (Remember! if she don’t give you the ZZZZZZ! she gets a DD! ! !) yer a lucky girl! we had some newbies along for the trail and they seemed to have a good time and a real nack for this Hashing business, they liked it too. There was Jslammer the trail sniffing hammer and trooper Jtyler, apparently a Beagle Scout and Beers-R-Us Jrebecca (we think she likes them and us alot). *69 found the H3SoB hash shit and tried to pass it off (again) but failed miserably. He did his best Jack Benny immitation, blamed it on Rochester, then got a little down down and the Hashshit for another 4 years. Spotty and Limpy were celebrated for aldf alfjdoieir ^^^>>>///,,,,<<<\\\\ in the back of her ride and telling Max there wasn’t enough room? What arya tryin to say? (yep, just had to mention that one..)
So as it turned out,,,, due to a bit of shortcutting, lost on trail wanderings, beer breath development and blind lick luck there were 3 or 4 different FRB groups trading the lead all afternoon and that allowed for numerous mini pack adventures and novice chance check encounters. So this was really a pack effort, getting from A to B, the pack worked together to solve, the flying swine, Solo’s nasty little checks, harriette checks, back checks, moon checks and generous! (got a bunch ‘O’ pitchers ‘O’ really tasty suds at Hollister Brew Co) beer checks. BTW anybody ever find Just Ian and Jangelica? they still at that beer check? in Spottys ride maybe? dumbass luck I guess???
Cya next time Pixxxster
