Hares: Twatnot, Indecent Exposure, and Drag 'n Blow
Hounds: Daffy Dildo, Ollage, Assma, Knees, Gaping Festering
Hole, Monica Spewinski, Port-a-John, Slipper, Piss Boy, Just Karen, and Just
Carrie (apologies to anyone I forgot)
The hares were off at about 1:30 from the west Magnolia play field on a
chilly, windy spring Sunday. Only two hounds bothered to follow the admonition
to wear some kind of costume to celebrate spring, Knees and Gaping both
sporting capes. After giving us the appropriate lead time for a live run, the
hounds were off after us and the confusion soon followed. Apparently about
half the pack got hooked into the first false and most of them couldn't find
the "x" denoting the false trail that IE insists he laid in the
grass. He was constantly expressing concern that hounds would actually see our
marks and catch us by following trail so I suspect he was a tad overzealous in
concealing the x. Some came back to the check and picked up trail from there
but some decided to zen with mixed results.
The rest of the trail apparently wasn't much less confusing but eventually
most of the hounds trickled in to the beer check which was under a large water
tower at 39th & Dravus on top of the hill and affording a lovely view of
Seattle and the Cascades. Some of the hounds that decided to zen were certain
that we were going to Discovery Park and ran their which I found quite funny
until I found out that ID actually laid a false to Discovery. It would have
been much funnier if they'd just run their on their own conviction but I'll
take what I can get. I'll just say that the actual trail we laid deviated at
several points from what we planned. There were some communication problems
but the net result was confused hounds and sometimes you need to fuck with the
hounds.
From the beer check it was a short dash back to the start and the circle. We
welcomed the virgin and the visitor with beer, Gaping Festering Hole was loud
and obnoxious as always but his ass stayed silent this time, unlike the day
before at the Seattle Hash. Knees did a great job of repeatedly making Daffy
Dildo and Ollage drink, once for being gay lovers and I forget what the other
charge was but it was worthy. Drag 'n Blow was made to drink from the new
orthopedic shoes she wore and thought were safe because she only drove the
beer to the beer check and didn't run. Now she knows better. The hares were
made to drink for a number of ridiculous and largely fabricated charges, but
at least you didn't hear us bitching and whining about it like certain
officers at the Seattle hash the day before. We drank our beer proudly like
true hashers. I didn't even throw up.
After a good circle with lots of accusations I can't remember, we retired to
the fine Village Pub for a few beers before calling it a day.
On on!
