Yesterday’s Hash Run #1699 is in the books. A portion of the short trail happened to intersect with my chosen path (the My Bitch trail), so in that sense, I was On-On. From what I’ve seen, the long trail was an ass-kicker, including a climb to the Kalaklan Ridge and a steep and slippery descent. I noticed quite a few Hashers had dirt on their backsides from sliding down on their ass. Glad I missed out on that fun!
The trail began and ended at the Hare’s house (Tiny Cunt) located at the far end of Rizal Extension. That is my least favorite area to Hash because it is hard to access without a vehicle. My plan was to walk from my place to Tiny Cunt’s, then leave the Circle early and walk back to town. As it turned out, not far down the road, a trike dropped a passenger (many trikes can’t make it up the steep road, so they are hard to find), and we provided the driver a fare back to It Doesn’t Matter. I’d call that a win-win.
During the Hash Circle, Cums Alone was recognized for her 75th run with the Subic Bay Hash House Harriers.
A bigger than usual after-Hash gathering at IDM.
I declared it a “cheat night” and went to buy some ice cream. Swan started flirting with the trike drivers. Just kidding about that last part, but I did enjoy some ice cream for the first time in a week. And that’s how the Hash Monday went down.
Four years ago, I was the most popular (and only) customer at the Outback Billabong bar.
It’s June 2018 in the LTG archives, and the SBH3 Hash trail was so fun it had me in stitches. Fucking barbed wire. I’ve had some cuts, scratches, and bruises over the years, but luckily this only happened once.
Today’s YouTube video attempts to answer the question of whether expats are happier in Thailand or the Philippines. I think it does a pretty good job of citing the strengths of both countries, and it all comes down to what works best for you.
And now on with the funny stuff:
And now it is on with my Tuesday. I reckon there are some darts and beers in my future.
Two more Hashes, and it’s 1701, the Enterprise’s number (NCC-1701). I hope you celebrate with a Star Trek theme.
Kevin, if we do a Star Trek theme, maybe when it comes to a hill climb, I can get beamed up.
You are quite lazy – always taking short cuts, avoiding anything slightly challenging, using Jeepneys to help – maybe all that “ he walks so much why is he still so fat” thing needs to be reexamined.
Thanks for the insights, Steve. I’m doing okay for a 70-year-old. I’m fat despite the walking, but I’m working on some dietary changes to hopefully reduce my weight. Stay tuned.
Have the 1701 party at your place and serve Trek-themed food. Most of it will probably be Klingon since Klingon food is the alien food most discussed on the shows:
1. blood wine
2. Gagh (live bloodworms)
3. Firewine
4. various Klingon mollusks
There’s also non-Klingon food and drink like
1. Romulan ale
2. various Vulcan soups and broths
3. various Vulcan salads
4. Vulcan breads
5. individual Vulcan fruits and vegetables
Trek-themed recipes are all over the Web, so all you have to do is Google them (Klingon food/drinks, Romulan food/drinks, Vulcan food/drinks, Bajoran food/drinks, Cardassian food/drinks, Ferengi food/drinks, etc.). I just had a random thought and searched for “tribble recipes,” which led to a bunch of recipes for roasted tribbles (which look a lot like a combination of doughnut holes and meatballs). On the show Star Trek: The Next Generation, the Klingon Worf developed a taste for human prune juice, declaring it “a warrior’s drink.”
At least get your tee designer for 1701 to do a sexy drawing that combines images from the Trek shows and movies with Hash motifs like your curvy bikini girl—maybe the bikini girl in a naughty-looking Starfleet uniform, fawning over a muscular Vulcan on an alien planet’s beach. Or, hell, fawning over an old Starfleet admiral with a beer belly.
You’ve got two weeks to let your creatives know. If you’re in a mood to celebrate, of course. No pressure. It’s only a nerdy idea.
Kevin, I’m impressed with your Star Trek celebration suggestions. You truly must be a fanatic! The Hash is already scheduled at It Doesn’t Matter for run #1701, so I won’t be able to put your ideas to the test. Honestly, I’d be surprised if my fellow Hashers even made the connection with the Enterprise. But here’s what I will do: At the Circle, I will announce the significance of our run number matching the starship number and ask folks to raise their beer in recognition of the Star Trek voyagers.
