Playing in the Sunset

The Beginning

Thankfully, Booty Camp and Snow Blower once again pitch in to save the hash. Apparently, they like setting trail as they are in contention for gold status in our frequent trail setting program.

They chose Kampus Brewing Co. as the start/finish location. This pub, close to the university, is hash friendly.

The group assembled in a section that had been put aside for us. Time to check out the deals and specials awaiting us when we return.

Insane Bolt announces it is time to head outside to circle up. Daylight is now a thing with the arrival of spring!

A good turn out for the group. A combination of daylight, warmer temperatures and spring have encouraged folks to come out and play!

Camshaft ran the circle and went through the announcements and introductions. We had a good number or visitors, archives and new boots!

The hares were called into the circle to describe the marks they had made for the pack to follow.

With the marks described, the pack was released to find the trail markings.

The Trail

Off to find the marks on the streets and adjacent parking lots. Lots of high density stuff around here,, but the trail was found and the pack was off!

Following marks, we eventually found the regroup with suitable refreshments available for the group.

From the regroup, a short walk back to the bar to settle in and figure out the beer and food menu.

The group settled down waiting patiently for the down down’s to begin

The Down Down’s

Karate Klit was the Religious Advisor (RA) for the evening. Thankfully, she volunteered last week so has had ample time to tune her mind for a great performance. Some last minute encouragement from Hump the Shark to smooth out the delivery.

Karate Klit was ready, and jumped into action with her RA performance!

A choir was selected of Snow Blower and Stool Stuffer, who sang themselves a song.

A fine choir of Snow Blower and Stool Stuffer

The parade of crimes, accusations, and stories was delivered. First, the hares for setting such a fine trail.

The pink beer people – Booty Camp, LL, Hot Cheeks, TTF

Apparently, the wearing of new shoes created an opportunity to transfer the Onesie of Shame to a new recipient.

A collection of new boots and bashers. Auntie Frank, Just Ken =, Menage-a-trois, Hot Liquor

Archives – Hash Test Dummy, Prodigal Daughter, Tommy Two Fingers, Abandoned Pussy and Comes and Goes!

After all was through, Karate Klit declared the group “on the piss”.

The pack settled down to eating and drinking after a fine RA performance.

A fine trail of some 6 km was enjoyed by the pack. Both sides of Crowchild Trail and some great neighbourhood romps.

Apparently the walkers were having some amount of fun. Here is the evidence?

Typical St. Paddy’s Day Posture

The Beginning

St. Patrick’s Day, or there abouts, is a time for celebration. St. Patrick’s Day, celebrated on March 17, honours the patron saint of Ireland, marking the day of his death. Originally a religious feast day commemorating the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, it has evolved into a global celebration of Irish culture, heritage, and pride, featuring parades, special foods, music, and wearing green.

It was appropriate that Slow Clap and Roaring Nancy volunteered to set trail as they are familiar with the colour green. The venue selected was Murdoch’s Bar & Grill, with is an Irish Pub. The weather was good with a chinook blowing in, making for nice warm and sloppy weather!

The pack arrived at the pub, found parking, and heading inside to prepare for the run.

Keeping track of the time, Insane Bolt announced that it was time to head outside and circle up.

A good turnout of hashers was present to celebrate all things green, and pretend to have some sort of Irish connection engage.

Insane Bolt was called into the circle to go through the announcements and introductions. A good turnout of 27 hashers all dressed up and ready for a fine run.

The hares were called into the circle to describe the marks for the evening’s trail.

You have now idea what we have planned for you

With the marks described, the pack was released to find the trail.

The Trail

Off from the parking lot, the runners and the walkers dispersed to find the appropriate marks.

Apparently the runners had a much better time. Here is some evidence that there was active playing and trail tracking.

From the regroup, the pack headed back to the pub to prepare for the down down’s.

Down Down’s

Back to the pub, the group settled down to figure out what beer and food to order in anticipation for the down down’s to start.

King Shit was the Religious Advisor (RA) for the evening. King Shit had his program prepared and launched into the program.

First up were the hares, who had set a fine trail for the pack this evening.

Dastardly, Hot Pants and Scoobie – excessive walking

Trail Summary

A fine trail of some 5 km was set and enjoyed by the group. Thanks for Slow Clap and Roaring Nance for setting trail and for encouraging all things green.

RA: Mr. PeeeeeNut

Attendance: 24

Good to the last drop

The Beginning

We were pleased that we had volunteers to hare this run. A time to Celebrate with the clocks moving forward one hour. This means that we actually start the run “in the light”, though finish in the twilight/dark. This will continue to improve each week!

The starting location was Veranda at The Stables in the Garrison Green neighbourhood. This location promotes both Burwood Distillery and Vacay Brew Co. products. How convenient for the hash. Apparently, Vacay Brewing has a new location with a taproom in Marda Loop which is not yet opened. Stay tuned!

Finding parking and figuring out which door was the right one was somewhat confusing. However, being a smart bunch we figured it out and made our way inside.

Inside, we were directed to a section where we would congregate after the run was completed.

After sufficient milling about, we were instructed to go outside and form a circle in the parking lot to the west.

Hashers tormenting the photographer by feigning happiness

A good turn out, likely motivated by the daylight and the surprise snowstorm from the previous day.

Camshaft ran the circle and went through the announcements and introductions. We had a visitor for Los Angeles, Grandma’s Cookie.

The hares were called into the circle to describe the marks for the run.

Lazy Cummer uses his foot to point our key marks

With the instructions complete, the pack was released to find the marks for true trail.

The Trail

Off from the parking lot, the pack spread out to seek out the marks.

From the regroup it was back to the Veranda at The Stables to prepare for the down down’s.

The group settled in and waited patiently for the down down’s to begin.

The Down Down’s

Mr. PeeeeeNut volunteered to be the Religious Advisor (RA) at the previous run. As such, he had spent the week getting mentally prepared for the task.

The beverages were procured and prepared for some of the special awards this evening. In particular, we had two milestone awards involving a half yard vessel of refreshment.

Much car was taken to get the half yards loaded and ready to go.

With the preparations complete, it was time for Mr. PeeeeeNut to conduct the ceremony.

A choir was selected of Roaring Nancy and Booty Camp. They were recognized by singing themselves a suitable song.

Mr. PeeeNut went through his list of crimes, accusations and stories, starting with the hares.

The high point of the down down’s was the acknowledgement of 1600 runs, achieved by Hardly and Twisty. A monumental event worth acknowledging.

A fine display of half yard handling!

Subsequent down down’s included our visitor for Los Angeles, Grandma’s Cookie, who has come to visit. Important to ensure that the visitors are welcomed appropriately!

Visitor – Grandma’s Cookie from California

With the down down’s complete, we were declared “on the piss”

Mr. PeeeeeNut wrapped things up and we were declared “on the piss”. The group then settled down and enjoyed the company and the ambiance of the Veranda.

Trail Summary

A great trail of 5-6 km was delivered for the enjoyment of the group. Great job by Liquor Lots, Lazy Cummer and OPP in setting this up.

The Beginning

The group was having trouble with hare raising. The group is small and folks are busy with winter activities. Thankfully, Hardly agreed to do this run with the help of Dastardly.

The location selected was the Brickwell Taphouse, conveniently located the Thornhill neighbourhood off Centre Street, straddling the NW and NE boundary.

The group assembled inside and checked out the ambiance and beer/food specials.

Camshaft decreed that it was time to circle up. So outside we went into the cool evening. The air seemed cooler here than in the south part of town where is was quite warm!

Camshaft ran the circle and went through the announcements and introductions.

The hares were called into the circle to describe the marks for the run.

The pack was directed to where the first marks could be found.

The Trail

Off we go through the shopping centre. Marks were found and the pack was off to run the trail.

Off through the neighbourhoods to find the scenic views afforded by this part of town.

Peace Bridge!

The Beginning

Enthusiasm for setting trail improves as the days get longer. Thankfully, Booty Camp and Snow Blower were motivated to ensure the hash continued for another week.

The starting point was the west beltline area, 12th ave and 12th street SW at the Pig & Duke Neighbourhood Pub. Parking was a challenge, but not impossible.

The pub filled up with hashers assessing the venue and preparing for the run.

As the crowd arrived it was was time to head out to run the circle.

The circle formed with a reasonable turn out of hashers,

Insane Bolt ran the circle and went through the introductions and announcements.

After a thorough explanation of the marks, Snow Blower pointed the direction of the trail and released the pack.

The Trail

Off we go into the construction zones nearby. Searching for marks which were found!

In the circle, it was declared that there would be no regroup due to parking limitations. Apparently that was modified at some point, but most did not find the regroup that was hosted in an adjacent parkade. Some of us enjoyed refreshments in the warm.

The Down Down’s

We settled into seats, ordered beer and food, and waited for the down down’s to begin.

The Religious Advisor for the evening was Liquor Lots. She was a bit tentative initially, but she prepared a fine program to finish off the run.

A choir of Hardly and Insane Bolt were called up to start the singing of songs.

The hares were acknowledged for setting a fine trail.

The Beginning

We were pleased and Camshaft and Mmmmmm Lady Fingers volunteered to set trail on a fine February evening. They chose a location in a obscure neighbourhood of Crossroads NE, adjacent to the Deerfoot Trail and Trans Canada highway.

A neighbourhood with some history, we stated from Gally’s Neighbourhood Pub in a 1950’s strip mall. It had a special vibe to it and happy hour prices for those pre run beverages. The weather was horrible with cold and snow rolling in making highway travel difficult.

Inside, where it was warm and dry, the crowd assembled in anticipation of a fine trail and some urban exploring.

Insane Bolt called for the group to head outside to circle up in the snow.

Skewbic Hair and Mmmm Lady Fingers (again!)

Insane Bolt ran the circle, going through the announcement and introductions.

The hares were called in to describe the marks they had set out for the trail.

Camshaft pointed in a direction and the pack was released.

The Trail

Off like a herd of turtles, trying to find marks through the recent blanket of snow. Out of the shopping centre and into the neighbourhood. Marks were spotted and the pack was afoot.

Some fine views of the city were found. All made more romantic with the constant buzz of the Deerfoot Trail enhanced by the airplanes that were landing continuously.

There was some art to be found. Who knew that they had this stuff hidden in this neighbourhood!

There was mention of a shot stop. We were pleased when we found this!

Off again to find the trail. Some hashers invented their own way back to find the regroup. A fine trail!

Eventually, back to the parking lot to find the awaiting vehicle with yummy refreshments!

Back to the pub to prepare for the down down’s.

The Down Down’s

The pack assembled in the pub and settled down to order food and beer. The Religious Advisor, Lazy Cummer worked on his material for the down down’s.

With the program complete, it was time to beg for next week’s Religious Advisor. Liquor Lots said no, then she became a maybe with help from Camshaft. I am sure she will do a great job.

The Beginning

Insane Bolt agreed to set trail in the extreme North part of town. For those of in the South, to have a run set “North of Stoney Trail”, is like having to travel large distances to the run start.

Thankfully, Google Maps can tell you how to get there from where you are at.

The start point was found in the Creekside strip mall, which also harbours the Pet Plant store formerly owned by an ancient hasher, Knobby.

Inside the pub the group found some tables set aside for us to congregate.

Camshaft called the group out to form a circle outside. With the weather sill unseasonably warm, most of the ice and snow had been dissipated.

Camshaft ran the circle and went through the announcements and introductions.

The hare was called into the circle to explain the marks he has places in this northern neighbourhood for the pack to discover.

The pack was released into the parkland behind the mall to find the trails and the marks!

The Trail

Off through the parking lot to find the first marks. There were pathways in the dark where marks could be found.

OPP makes sure that Josh does not get too lost

After some confusion with the Eagle/Turkey split, parts of the pack managed to find the regroup vehicle and enjoy the adult beverages contained within,

The runners eventually appeared after their long distance trek to also enjoy refreshments.

After a fine regroup is was time to go back to the pub to find some food and refreshments.

The group found tables, food and beer and all was good again!

The Down Down’s

The beer was poured in preparation for the closing ceremonies. Camshaft was Religious Advisor for the evening. His long trip away in the warmth had revitalized his has spirit.

Tales and crimes were figured out, and it was time to go.

The RA was ready and it was showtime!

A choir was selected with Snow Blower and Mmmmmm Lady Fingers engaged to select the songs.

The Onesie of shame was acknowledged and dealt with. XXX Ray did a fine job of wearing the colours!

And now, for the main event, PMS has a milestone acknowledging 500 runs.

The Beginning

Dastardly and Hardly volunteered to set trail to honour two causes, Ground Hog Day and Lay’em in Snow Memorial Run (hence Brown Dog Day). Ends up being a very long run title. Lay’em in Snow was a long term hasher who passed away recently (3 years ago). He was know for having some sort of brown dog (Luna). He is in our thoughts.

The run started near the trendy neighbourhoods of Forest Lawn and Radisson Heights. With a surprising number of parks and schools, the set the stage for multiple playground opportunities.

The group assembled in the parking lot ready for the run start.

Camshaft ran the circle and went through the announcements and introductions.

The hares were called into the circle to describe the marks.

With the mark fully described, the pack was released to find the true trail. There were multiple Eagle/Turkey splits as well of multiple playgrounds.

RA: Skewbic Hair

Attendance: 11

Look what is having a birthday!

The Beginning

A fun Castle Mountain Ski trip was thoughtfully arranged by Hot Cheeks this year. Early booking meant that we got the chalet that we wanted. The Timberock Chalet has an upstairs, downstairs and a hot tub. What more could the hash ask for.

Once you have traversed the ice, the steps are rewarding!

Following tradition, a run was set for the Saturday evening. A numbered run, which heightens the hashing experience at Castle Mountain.

Shakesbeer volunteered to set trail through the community and the wilderness trails. A daunting task for one hasher to complete, but Shakesbeer came through after a tough day of skiing the mountain!

After skiing, T-baring, hot tubbing, steam showering, it was time for the group to get ready to run the trail. Rousing them from their beer enhanced lethargy was a challenge.

We are really not interested in running….

With suitable encouragement, shoes, ice crampons, hats and gloves were found and the ritual of putting on the shoes began.

Eventually, the pack formed at the bottom of the stairs of the chalet, eager to get this run started and finished.

The pack emerges from the comfort of inside

Collecting the group into a circle proved challenging. However, through perseverance, the stand in Hash Master, Skewbic Hair, managed to pull this off.

With the announcements and introductions completed, the hare was called into the circle to describe the marks for the trail.

With the instructions complete, the pack was released to the darkness and ice to find the marks.

The Trail

The trail headed off in an easterly direction toward the parking lot. Flagging marks were found and we now had a direction to follow along the road to the parking lot.

At the guest services (hostel) location, more marks were found to lead us onto the village trail. Footing was difficult and the marks were somewhat difficult to find for the runners.

As we continued through the forest, eventually stumbling upon more marks and the designated stop for the visit with our Ski Calgary Group friends who were also enjoying Castle this weekend.

After a bit of hospitality, we were back on the trail to complete our mission.

Eventually we found our way back to the Timberock Chalet, and proceeded inside to get organized for the down downs.

The Down Downs

With great anticipations, the group settled down into their comfy couches in anticipation of the down downs. The Religious Advisor was Skewbic Hair. A very busy evening for this guy.

Skewbic Hair was called into service to conduct the down downs. No choir needed, so lets just get into it!

To the host, Hot Cheeks for making this weekend happen!

Now, to the hare for setting such a fine run through the wilds of the Castle Mountain community.

Shakesbeer made the trail happen – Shitty trail!

We have a naming. The person formerly known as Just Rowena, receives here own hash name of Raw Weiner! The smile says it all.

Others were acknowledged for various crimes and infractions. We did have some drop in folks from the Ski Calgary Group who are interested in knowing more about our cult. Recruitment potential!

With the formalities over, it was time to get serious about T-barring, hot tubbing and beer drinking. These are the reasons we come on these trips!

Trail Summary

An epic meandering trail through the dark with plenty of ice and chances to fall. No one died and all returned safety. Thanks to Shakesbeer to setting the trail.

Introduction

Address to a Haggis
[…]
Ye Pow’rs wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o’ fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
That jaups in luggies;
But, if ye wish her gratfu’ prayer,
Gie her a Haggis!

Robert Burns

The Beginning

Hashers grabbed their passports, fueled up their cars, bought snacks for the ride and headed down to the deeep deeeeeep south.

The Circle

Insane Bolt led circle masterfully and we all found out (Blue Balls included) that it was a Blue Balls’ milestone! The man learned that he was getting 69’ed tonight (1369 was his magic number).

The Run

Hump, who typically likes to treat us to a long and hard one, surprised us with a slightly shorter than expected treat (but it was a little cold, to be fair).

The Down Downs

Here were some of the offenses that warranted these hashers a down down:
* OPP for being trippy
* Hot Cheeks, Twisted Sister and Blue Balls for being short cutting bastards
* Karate Klit for swinging her balls around (snow balls)
* Hot Cheeks for going down on Lazy Cummer (or going down under Lazy Cummer?.. something like that.)
* Insane Bolt for causing a muggle to rush out of her house in sweatpants and cowboy boots (now there’s the real crime)

The Highlight

The flawless singing by choir PMS and Coq Titty, despite the heckling by an angry lady.
