Thirty years of Hashing

Yesterday’s Subic Bay Hash House Harriers 30th Anniversary run is in the books. No one got married, so I guess you could say it went off without a hitch. The Hares offered three options: long (11K), medium (6K), and short (4K). As is my custom, I was joined by three others, and we did our own version of the trail–got dropped off at the start of the long trail and then avoided most of the climbs for an enjoyable 6K hike.

There was a huge turnout for the special day–103 paid Hashers. We had guests from several other Philippines Hash groups and a couple of others from Thailand. One of the out-of-towners misbehaved in a disgusting way–masturbating while on the ice–but otherwise, it was an enjoyable gathering. I made it to the end on ten beers, then went home instead of joining the after-party. See how dedicated I am to losing weight?

Here are some pictures from my day:

Happy Anniversary!

My leg held up pretty well on yesterday’s trek. Using my stick as a cane seems to take some pressure off, and once again, after a couple of kilometers it felt almost normal. I did have my MRI done today and some other tests. I’ll write about those tomorrow.

Language is such a bigot!

  1. Happy 30th anniversary to the SBHHH. Many happy returns.

    The whole “non-binary” thing is BS: it just creates a new binary:

    binary vs. non-binary

    There’s no escaping binaries.

  2. Looks like it was a fun event, except for the one dick (pun intended).

    Though, with some of the rituals your has does, beating off in public, while over the line, does not seem to be a huge leap. LOL

  3. Well, the difference is talking shit versus being physically obnoxious. I was offended seeing it, and I imagine some of the women folk were also grossed out.

  4. Thanks for the video link, Kevin. I laughed when he used a Twinkie as an example of a sugar and grain carb. No worries, I’m done with my Hostess sweets.

    I know I’ve been eating less these past couple of days, but I haven’t psyched up for fasting yet. Trying to eat healthier and in smaller amounts will hopefully have some positive results. If not, I’ll have to try and ramp it up.

  5. I enjoy the column, John.

    The Road Whore sobriquet reminded me of the days of Road Slut when AC was good and Subic was even better. Good times. Just Alaska Jerry about Road Slut.
