On a hot summer’s….er February day, 18 hashers gathered for the inaugural Shitless & Laxative hash, just one month after their TH3 naming ceremony in a back-up location in Aussonne. Location 1 was scuppered by violent storms effectively closing the car park (circle area)
Nonetheless the group got moving along some extremely well marked trails – clearly the opposite of an SDU teaspoon hash – and eventually made their way to an early, and very familiar looking, beer stop. Our missing RA very kindly let the hares host the beer stop in his garden. He must be rewarded on his return for his very kind gesture; and punished for missing his own beer stop!
With the group refreshed and the runners with Budweiser sloshing around in their stomachs we set off to continue the route, with all of the walkers choosing to ignore the easy short split and take the ‘500 metre’ extension (more like a km extension)
After a rather challenging hill at the on in, we hit the drinks and snacks. Shoe Gate continues still with no conclusion about who accidentally took Hoppy Pussy’s shoes. The fact that Hoppy Pussy took the wrong shoes after the Burns Hash is already hilarious enough but we live in hope that one day he will have his Cinderella moment and find the correct fitting shoes. All eyes are on IP as he is only other person at the Burns Hash who has a similar (massive) shoe size
We circled up with Rocket Pants guest RA’ing again in the continued absence of Cheesy Lollipop:
– The hares were rewarded for their excellent trail despite the last minute change. I would also say that they should have been rewarded again for the extremely well marked trail
– The unofficial theme of purple colours resulted in those wearing anything resembling purple colour to come into the circle (including those with blue jackets which could look like a light purple in certain lights)
– Just Silverio was welcomed back after a long absence with his excuses for not coming to the hash being that he always had lunches booked on the days of our trails……..food for thought (no pun intended) for his naming later….
– Just Silverio remained in the circle to be punished for the ultimate crime, although he didn’t have the ultimate punishment (the warm Heineken sloshing in Short Shift’s shorts) for blocking the beer cooler with his bag. He got some abuse for that one
With Just Silverio in the circle we quickly moved on to the namings. As mentioned earlier, Just Silverio seemed to prioritize food over the Hash and so we were quick to find a name resulting in After 8 or After Ate, however you want to write it
Next we turned to Just Jose, Just Emeline and Just Zahara. Just Jose made it easy as he was complaining that it shouldn’t take long to give a name – a reference to the lengthy naming process of Shitless at the last Hash. He suggested that a naming could be “Done in 20 Seconds” – so, guess what he was named…
Just Emeline followed next and it was suggested that she could simply be named “20 Seconds”. With no convincing arguments to change it she agreed that it made sense. At this point Done in 20 Seconds was trying to increase the number of seconds in his name – 40s, 50s, and so on. The group looked to the newly named 20 seconds to see if he really does deserve an increase in the number of seconds and she confidently confirmed that even 20 seconds might be too generous. Alas Done in 20 Seconds and 20 Seconds were set.
Finally the youngest of the 20 second family was to be named and it seemed only appropriate to continue with the 20 Second theme. As the result of older 20 Seconds, she was appropriately named “20 Seconds Later” much to her confusion. I bet that was a difficult conversation on the drive home
