ReHash #223

Hi Hashers,

I just thought that we are waiting now long enough for the next rehash. And I decided to write one for the really incredible Hash we had last Sunday. I don’t know, whether I’m able to do a good job on this, since I don’t know most of the people at the Hash any more and second I got quite a few down-downs and don’t remember that evening and afternoon all this well. Therefore the whole rehash will be a very personal view of the Hash I experienced.

After an hashless time of more then four month (can you imagine this) I arrived really anxious to run another hash just in time for the start at 2 p.m.. But I had to realize that I was the only hasher around and I got already worried that I would be at a wrong place. Getting lost at the Hash is quiet normal – my name is not without any reason False Erection – but not finding the Hash would be something new! But right at this time False Orgasm appeared and since she is Hash Beer right now I thought everything should be fine.

But before I go on, or better before I get started on the Rehash one more comment. The Ithaca Hash really kind of lost all its traditions since I left. As I remember one of the non existing rules told something about down downs for a new Hash Beer and the person who gets rid of this really fine job. Mighty Blow just passed on this job to False Orgasm and they tried to cheat on the Hash to avoid a down down. I think both of them and our holly RA should get punished severely at the next Hash for this kind of behavior. But anyhow, I basically got lucky that nobody was around in time. Since I got quite a bit of malt wine and beer the night before, I left my car at Mighty Blows house. Since I left the car with my running cloth and I just picked up my car on the way to Biotech I still had to change. Bubbles and I managed to lose each other on the way from Mighty Blows house to the Hash and now I had my cloth, but couldn’t get into Biotech in order to change. Luckily I met Blue Bud right at the door on her way to the Hash and she let me inside the building. I managed to change and to get back to the start of the Hash before most other people appeared. You know I thought the Hash would start at 2 p.m., – or is it still 3 p.m..

Anyhow finally we got on the way and I think it was a fantastic Hash. Thanks to Tim (I’m sorry, but I forgot his real name) and Mighty Blow. We just started out and went a couple of loops back and forth and after about 20 minutes we were back to Biotech. As I heard Calvin Klimax and … just set a Hash of about this length but I got my bad reputation for setting long hashes just the two times when I helped Mighty Blow to set a Hash (and the one time I helped BamBam and Nape) and it just seemed impossible that this Hash could be this short – and sure enough it turned out, that we went straight by Biotech and it turned out to be one of the typical Mighty Blow Hashes. I don’t know whether this is typical for Tim as well, but I think I did only one Hash he set so far and this one hasn’t been this long.

At least the first Hash our incredible Hairs set – due to the length and the two completely different parts I just consider it as two Hashes – proved to be a real on Campus Hash. We spend quite a while in Clark Hall and even used the elevator and had a malt wine stop inside the building. From there the trail went up all the way to the top of Clark Hall. Since there is no other way downstairs (beside the elevator) Vibrator and I got suspicious early on the second or third floor, but we went up all the way just to find the expected back check. The part afterwards chasing through the subbasement and climbing over equipment was something at least I haven’t done so far. From their we went right into Baker and Olin Lab and I got back to my Chemistry. After this nice and quite long first Hash the second and even longer Hash began. We blow straight threw North Campus into the woods and we found everything we missed on the first half of the hash. Lots of mud, water, especially very cold water thorns, thick woods and everything else what makes hashing at the Ithaca area so much fun. I didn’t realized how bad the trail had really been until the on-in. I had bleeding scratches all over my legs and arms and the next morning quite a few bruises showed up. Hasher, is their anything more you want?

Speaking about the bruises: I had three Hash Crashes over all and all three of them were observed by a couple of people which immediately jelled Hash Crash. I know it was ProJen, Broken Pole, Bud Plug and a couple of other people. But obviously the beer at former hashes had killed already so many of their brain cells, that they couldn’t remember all the way through the Hash – Or the Hash has just been to long! But since I got fourteen down downs anyhow I should not complain.

Anyhow we had lots of fun during our fight through the woods, but the group had gotten small by then. At the last and most beautiful part along Fall Creek only four or Five people were left, Doni (Again a name I can’t remember right now), me and … . But I and a couple of other people took a time out in the middle of the Hash and walked for quite a while. Among them were some other Front Running Bastards like Broken Pole. Finally we fought our way out of the woods and got to this closed bridge at Judd Falls. But this couldn’t stop us any more and we went straight back to Biotech. We were really surprised to realize that nobody of all the Hashers which shortcutted the second half of the Hash was their already. It turned out that ProJen, Bud Pluck, Ralph, Bubbels and Jochim had called in some Pizza and preferred some food over joining the on-in.

The ceremonys went the way I expected. On Saturday Skull suggested I should take over The job as RA, since BamBam was out of town, but Vibrator took the job. Probably I should have done it myself and I could have avoided the 14 down downs. I’m not sure whether I was really able to count any more after the first 6 or 7, but this doesn’t really matter. I got a down-down out of my three month old shoes. Most likely this shoes have done more miles then most shoes at the hash, but their were considered new.

Hung Man got the BLAB award. (Bloody Late Arriving Bastard). Doni got the new Hash Pans for wearing the most fashionable pans from Blue Bud and he truly deserved it. The combination of the stripes on his tights and dots on his shorts in such nice colors was truly amazing.

This were already all awards around and this is all I have to tell right now. I probably missed a lot, forgot a lot (since I got loaded) or just didn’t mention it because I didn’t know half the people around.

I should have got myself Vibrators list, but I just got the idea to do a rehash yesterday. But everybody who thinks he or she could do a better job, just try it on one of the next Hashes
