Celebrated my birthday with the Hash. We caught a break from the rain which made for a mostly pleasant hike, notwithstanding some mud and puddles.
So, at the circle I was made to sit on the ice in honor of my having achieved another birthday. A small cake with a solitary candle was presented and I was instructed to blow out the candle. I silently made a wish that the cake would not be smashed into my face. My wish was not granted.
And then the traditional Hash birthday song was sung:
Hashy beer day, fuck you!
Hashy beer day, fuck you!
Hashy beer day, hashy beer day, hashy beer day
FUCK YOU!
That is the most awesome Happy Birthday song I’ve ever come across.
Happy Birthday, my friend. No fuck-yous from me.
