The Tale of the Trail
Hash

Thu. Jan 9. 2025. The Thirstday Hash. Oh Die Mark laid trail from Ranalli's for 6 hounds. Or so I heard from the hare. And I was on the way. A new record. I waited 53 minutes on a windy corner for an Ashland Bus, Supposedly 10 degrees wind chill factor. And 10 buses went the other way. ????? I finally went home.

Sat, Jan 11, 2025, The Big Dog Hash, the 21st Anal Eight Beer Stop Hash, Horn-E and Berts Special Friend hared from Catherine Chevalier Woods for 10 hounds. Getting better. It was practically perfect for this hash. About 30 degrees and sunny with about 3 inches of fresh powdery snow. And then Horn-E falls on his ass in the first 100 feet of setting trail. Damn old fart. Light snow over slick ice. We warned the hounds about the slick ice and still Chicken Stifer and Lower Wackoff managed to dust their butts off. When Horn-E fell, he landed right on a back pack with 26 beers. It took out 2 beers and shredded the back pack. But Berts Special Friend had a spare and 15 minutes later we set out on our journey. Right straight down a long boring straightaway. But a quick left turn to a Check in a shelter caught the pack. They were soon back to that straight path to the river and a pedestrian bridge straight across the river. The pack was mostly walking and so they all crossed the bridge to a back check in the woods. SnatchSquatch remembered last year and saw a mark on a tree back across the river and soon the pack was back and heading south along the river. And this led to another slippery dip into a ravine and on to the first Beer Stop Check. I was walking right behind Back Door Bizzle and gave him an easier loop with $20 Butt Slot. SnatchSquatch has been here before and quickly was on the beer. He was drinking with Takes It All when I came along sweeping. And the pack had already solved the Check and was gone and the nest stop was again, SnatchSquatch drinking and this time with Throat Job who was bitching about not being tall enough to get to the beer. And On we went. By now we had runners who weren't drinking and just running ahead, finding beer and running off right away. There was the third stop and only Lower Wackoff and Oh Die Mark drinking beer. The idea is to find the beer and those that get there to get one, hang around and socialize while drinking and enjoying the great all white wilderness. Then run on. But the pack is uncontrollable and they ran on while I walked in back with a few slower hounds. 4, 5, and I finally caught up at the 6th beer stop, in a tree in the middle of frozen wet lands. We're done it here before when the ice was a lot more questionable. This was solid and slick and Lower Wackoff fell here. Trail went on to this overhead bridge and some solid ground underneath. And to low of a bridge for the tall guys. You know the nasty hares planned that. Then to the tall reeds for the 8th stop. The beer was well into the reeds and a great spot for a bunch to gather within and drink their beers. But some FRB, found it, carried it out, and then wasn't drinking and left. WTF. So we gathered and finally finished and followed the two FRBs who weren't drinking. The hares decided at the start to have a circle along the trail and not back by the parking lot. This was great. Berts Special Friend went back to his car for the beer and then followed the path back into the woods. He managed to catch False Advertising and Coxswain Cocks Out, the two FRB and get them back to the circle, a small section where a building once stood, and there was a picnic table there. We held a nice big dog circle, out of wind and with some sun and all was good. And it was here that Oh Die Mark's dog Harley earned her name. Those aren't kibbles. While she earned her name here, we named her the next day. Then it was back to cars and off into the night or over to Cabanna Club for a warming up stop and a beer. Meat Inside Her, Oh Die Mark, and Throat Job joined the hares. IMO a great hashing experience and fun hash. Hash of the year. On Out.

Sun Jan 12, 2025. The Chicago Hash, Meat Inside Her and Berts Special Friend laid trail from Midwest Coast Brewery for 10 hounds. What a pathetic bunch. Yeah, me included. Stiffy 4 Stiffies was the real true runner on this trail. Then we had half runners, Oh Die Mark, False Advertising and Throat Job, Then the lame ass walkers. Third Personality Disorder, Lost Her Penis, Menage A Twat, Zone 2, Back Door Bizzle and that old fart Horn-E. We ran right past some puke at the start and I saw two more instances of what looked like fresh puke. The hares? But they wouldn't own up to it. And trail headed north with various people taking leads while Stiffy 4 Stiffies took wrong Splits. Finally Stiffy 4 Stiffies is heading west and suddenly no marks. I'm thinking that the pack missed a Check or some civilian jerk wiped it out. The pack heads back and I start ranging. Hey, when you loose trail you have to start ranging. I went to Grand and east. No marks. So it had to be further east. I ranged south thinking it had to eventually come to me. A few blocks later I see Stiffy 4 Stiffies coming along to the street I'm on. And he was ON. So I rfanged and it worked. It is just me and him as we head south and eventually I see Of Die Mark following and he eventually passed me. Trail get to lake and further south, but I catch Oh Die Mark coming back to Lake. and I follow him a few blocks west to the beer stop for circle. Eventually False Advertising and Throat Job arrived and then Back Door Bizzle. He told us that the last he saw of the pack, they stopped for a pizza. WTF. So we held a short circle and as we were leaving to go back to the bar, the rest of the pack arrived. Back at the brewery we headed to the roof deck for more beer. And we named Harley, Eat Shit And Die Mark. Damn forest kibbles. On Out.

The Tail of the Trail

Thu, 7 Nov. 2024, The Thirstday Hash, Blondie McFucksALot and Marbalus Asshole hared from Howl At The Moon for 15 hounds. That number included three visitors passing through Whip It Out, Follows Direction and an old friend, Mother Inferior, all from Ann Arbor. And we had a virgin, Just Amelia. And then we had the directions from Blondie McFucksALot. Purple chalk. We could barely see what she wrote at the start with a whole lot of stuff. What would it look like after we took off. I saw the second Check and the last arrow into the beer stop. And I was told where the stops would be. The pack had even worse troubles as they ran a circular route, CCW, over to Wolf Point and then north, etc. I missed all of that and barely beat in our walking visitors. But we had a short quic circle next to a high rise building, with security watching over us. Then is was back to the start for an evening of drinking, inside. I know these hares are new to Chicago, but how many times do we need to explain, no colored chalk in the dark. Especially blue and purple. The hounds just can't see the marks while running, with any consistency. Your trail should be all about the hounds trying to follow your trail at a run, some difficulty at Checks to allow the slow runners to catch up and not about what does this mean, have you seen anything in the last few blocks and what the hell do we do now. Please consider white, dry wall or railroad chalk, not sidewalk chalk in a rainbow of colors.

Sat, 9 Nov. 2024, The Big Dog Hash. Lower Wackoff hared from Miller Meadow for 8 hounds. And we got a Wackoff trail all right. An easy run on paths and then Zone 2 led us from a Check into a sort of woods path of vegetation, trees and such, about ten foot wide and along a fence. The front runner, Berts Special Friend found a Back Check and Magnetic Muff found trail across a lot of grassland. Berts Special Friend took over and led to a Split by the dog park and the very obvious face to lap dancing in parked cars. You can't drink beer in a parked car in the Forest Preserves, but you can drink all the cream you want. Near here we had a Check and could see the late arriving Back Door Bizzle in the distance. Great. trail was found in some woods and then we ran past the air field. Here I saw the pack disappear and the hare joined me and we entered some weeds and as I followed the hare, he lost his own trail. I found this and we were off on a paved path to a Check. This trail led into some deep woods and a deeper gully before we got to a great beer stop. A quick beer and it was a nice walk over a hill along a well traveled narrow path and On In. Circle was held in a shelter that did absolutely zero to shelter us from the wind, but it kept us dry from the very light rain. And the salted peanuts were a great touch. After circle it was on home. And for all of the wimps and house Puppies, False Advertising did most of the trail just a few weeks after some serious surgery. Yes, you can do the woods. They are great. The way hashing was meant to be. Come on out.

Sun. Nov 10, 2024, The Chicago Hash. Antique Load Show laid trail from Atlantic Bar And Grill. I could have walked there quicker then waiting for the bus that never came. And since it never came, it became to late to wait and I went home. Thanks CTA.
