The annual Hash Candy Run was a success, at least as measured by the smiling faces of the treat recipients. We confined ourselves to the backstreets of Barretto, but because of an accident on the highway, traffic was backed up, and many cars were detouring through the normally quiet residential streets, making things a little harrowing for the streetwalkers. But we made it through the afternoon with no casualties, so that’s a win.
From April 2016 in the LTG archives comes this account of another weekend in my Seoul life. A Namsan climb, a Han River walk, and drinking. Lots of drinking. Some things never change.
Today’s YouTube video is a touching tribute to those people who didn’t survive 2025. Most of them were older than me, so I took some comfort in that. No idea what might come next for them, but at least the suffering is over.
The pause that refreshes?
Had enough? Me too!
It wasn’t me!
I see six, arguably seven, errors in that texting meme. That’s a new level of illiteracy.
Well, she’ll be a widow soon, so he can marry his stepmom then.
I think I saw at least four errors in the stepmother meme.
It was great to see 18 Kilo Ass again…. He walked about a kilometer on his new knee.
May he heal completely. I guess he ain’t Santa this year.
Otherwise, #1633 seems to have been a good one.
Kevin, yeah, those memes were a whole other level of bad writing. Sorry about that!
Where did you get #1633? That was run #1685.

Sorry if I made a mistake, but I got it from your photos in this post, like here. If these are pics from the latest Hash, then I have to ask why so many people (18 people in one photo) are wearing the wrong-numbered shirt. (Do you all make tees for every single Hash, i.e., weekly?)
Not that the wrong-numbered shirt is a mortal sin. I mentioned several times on my own recent walk blog that I’d been wearing the wrong year’s shirt for the current walk. I think the shirt I’d had on was a 2023 shirt (Four Rivers, not Nakdong River) because Teespring, the shirt-printing company, hadn’t been able to print my 2025 shirt in time for my walk, despite my having ordered the shirt a month prior.
Just curious as to what’s going on. Or am I now going to have to be killed for unearthing a Hash conspiracy?
Kevin, ah, that explains it. I had forgotten about the shirts. Yes, they were from a special event last year and since they are the only “Christmas Hash” shirts most of us own, that was the popular choice for the #1685 Candy Run. Sorry for the confusion!
