SF Hash Trash
Hash #1185, January 16, 2006
We Can All Get On With Our Lives Now!!
If you have one. Which you don’t.
This name has been circling and circling and circling for years now. If I had a nickel for every time Scott has yelled out “Landing Strip!” for a naming, I would be able to afford Brokeback Mountain 18 times too just like Tom N. apparently can. Finally, finally, someone worthy of the name showed up to a hash, but more on that later…
The pack gathered at the end of Van Ness for a live hare hosted by Rich and Dale. They took the pack all through north beach, and I do mean all through. No wussy turkey/eagle split either. If you were in, you were in for the whole thing. Yes, hashing the way it was meant to be. There were long circle jerks, a jaunt through the Broadway tunnel, and a beer check the way beer checks were meant to be, atop russian hill. Have you ever *un through the Broadway tunnel stoned? I thought that would be cool so when I got back I asked Suzy to “hook me up” since her and Dave are moving to my block. She replied, “Steve, you’re an idiot. There’s a pot store around the corner from your house. And
by the way, you don’t smoke.”
Tom F. , the evening’s R.A., conducted down downs. Peter drank for getting some action in Lina’s bathroom. There was a lot of weirdness going on in the bathroom that night. Here’s a fun thing to try: have a party but remove the lock from your bathroom door. When I walked in,
Fiona and Suzy were in there, and apparently Suzy was peeing. Eldene drank because she now works at Coracle.
Which brings me to my first point. I know, it doesn’t make any sense. Eldene drank because she now works at Coracle. If I used Eldene’s hash name, it might begin
to make more sense, so let’s try it again:
Whoracle drank because she now works at Coracle, whereas she used to work at Oracle. Ahh, now that’s funny! You see, Tom F. called up Elise and Matthew, aka Joe Pubic Hair. The guy’s been hashing for what, a couple years? Funny hash name too. But no, Tom calls Matthew up. So I’m protesting, sue me. Hey, when the R.A. starts getting it right, I will. Do you think we just name people to name them? Don’t you think every name has a unique story, and a tremendous amount of thought and care goes into each name? You’re right, some names suck. Bigtime. And they don’t have a story, and we do just name them to name them. But some are good, like the next one, which brings me to my 2nd point. Finally, finally, someone showed up who was worthy of Landing Strip. Just Elise is a pilot, and Landing Strip stuck. Asked how she felt about being the recipient of such an honorable name, she replied, “Who are you people?”
So, as I was saying, great news. We can all get on with our lives now. That’s if you have one. Which you don’t. So I’ll see you tonight at Tom N.’s and Alison’s hash. If they ever put out an email and let us know where the fuck the *un
is tonight.
