HASH HISTORY - We are approaching the 56th anniversary of the death of the founder of the Original Hash House Harriers. His name was A.S. Gispert known as "G" in the hashing world. After founding the Hash in Kuala Lumpur in 1938 and totally enjoying what he had created, he joined the British Army in 1941 to defend Singapore from the invading Japanese. He was killed on February 11, 1942 (On-Sec ed.) during that defense. We as his descendants have inherited that legacy and with that inheritance should never forget to remember where it all began and who was responsible for what we enjoy today. So "G" TODAY and NEXT WEEK the entire WH4 Hash will remember you - THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES. See events for MVH6 happy hour for "G".
It was a rather boisterous group that rallied at the Clarendon Metro Shopping Mall that brisk but sunny afternoon. Unfortunately there were lots of absentees, the cheeseheads (except CYCLOPS) - maybe they should have come to the hash instead of getting ready for Packer Flop, and of course Black Box who was away in Sacremento with Mom. We missed you all.
As for the Hash, Wilbur was called or pulled or dragged out to lead us in Father Abraham. What a pathetic effort Wilbur - try again next century. Perk A Set was trying to keep Luci under control but the mad dog was observed jumping on everyone, in fact she really likes Cyclops and made a special effort to say hi several times. Can her owner please keep her under control!! The group was off EARLY at 3:15. Probably because Cyclops was also anxious to get to the PACKER LOSERS PARTY. In any case the merry gang romped into the eastern Arlington area for just under one hour of happy hashing center city style. The hash started with a mile run thru the streets of Arlington in a generally easterly direction. Spinal Tap was overhead giving short cutting instructions to all of the walkers, they seemed happy to know that this would be a quick and short hash for them.
The group reached Fort Bennet Park and began a soggy trudge along the footpath. Blazing Straddle was her usual self, totally enjoying hashing and all the beautiful sights. In fact the view of the GW Parkway and the river was impressive. Unfortunately as we came out of the Park and ran behind some town houses one of the TOWNHOUSE PERSONS was LOUDLY telling the group to inform their leader that this was private property. Too bad we all had passed before any of us really thought about his words. I was thinking; lets stick John Handcock on this guy, he should be able to plead our case of beer or case of the ass or just plain old case - who knows - why are there such jerks out there, we are such a loveable group of people with NO intention of doing anyone any harm. Why are we always so misunderstood?
Well back to the hash, we then entered the cement maze portion of the hash. We generally ran over thru or around all of the elevated walk ways of lower Rosslyn. As we passed Gold's Gym in Rosslyn Wilbur was observed trying to make time with a lot of fine young ladies - Wilbur you are always consistent. Unfortunately during this part of the trail the pack did not mark the true trail very well and this caused GREAT confusion to the follow on wankers. Main Pack try to improve!! During this section Ich Liebe Dick, Stool Sample, Trouser Snake and lots of other wankers were observed jumping walls, short cutting sky walks and just being plain confused. Pussy Wipped and some of his Over The Hump gang, who had just celebrated their annual drink out and 700th run, were observed catching up with the pack after a late start.
The trail finished with a mile road run up a gradual hill to the ON-IN, an entrance to a parking garage just south of the start. Overall it was a good trail with NO BEER STOP.
The hash was called to circle up and we started with the hash anthem.
The hares No Butts No Glory and Love Me Tender were brought
forth to demonstrate a proper down down for the virgins:
PS please not on the virgins with missing names and other info I asked
Perk A Set to capture the virgin info while I got the trash for all
of you - MISTAKE. Anyway I did the best I could so here goes, virgins
forgive me.

The circle celebrated the 69th run of Rainblow, No Butts No Glory , Love Me Tender and Trouser Snake. Good show guys. Next Week had new shoes or BOOTS on so guess what he had to drink in his boot, yours truly assisted and it was good. As mentioned in the trail info Over The Hump brought a gang who had just celebrated their 700th and a happy weekend Pussy Wipped and all Grand Master drank for that. As usual Watergate was loud and noisy and just generally disrupting the circle, she was told to shut the f**k up several times!!!
We celebrated a toast for Majil Hughes who passed away, "Briliant" was his favoriate hash phrase. We had a virgin who was a reporter/photographer for Newsweek, he drank and so did Charlie who made him come. GBOF and Watergate got mismanagement mugs. Cyclops got a mug and drank for his 200th run WOW.
And now for what you have all been waiting for, the hash shit. The nominees were: Drinks On Me Bud because he did not show and thusly was the winner. Where are you Drinks Man. .
The familiar theme of "POTS ON THE GROUND", the SINGING of SWING LOW, and the traditional phrase of "GO IN PIECE" brought the circle to an end. ON-ON-ON
The ON-ON-ON was fun I think, but I am not sure. Check with someone who gives a s**t and went or came.
On On, Big Bird Turd
