Hares: Just-10 Beaver with “guidance” from Dastardly
Where: The Weaselhead Bar and Grill Calgary, AB
RA: On In
Attendance: 22

Dastardly always enjoys de”flour”ing nubile young harrierettes and show them the ins and outs of setting trail. In this sense, he’s taken on Pyro’s old job.

Dastardly is a master baiter: he knows exactly how to turn the pack around and take us most unpredictable routes. Hopefully he let Just-10 have a say and she came out of this experience with added expertise.

The hares took us through many playgrounds:

Hash Test Dummy finally resurfaced from down under and kindly brought a little gift back for ball-breaker AP.

Hares: Cam Shaft and Mmmmmh Lady Fingers
Where: Dorset Pub and Eatery, Calgary, AB
RA: On In?
Attendance: 16

Our overachieving hares set trail #1 of their week of haring marathon. Cam Shaft treated us to a 5k trail with stretches of pure running (for the athletes in our midst).

The On-In was a British pub with a grocery section that sells British treats and delicacies. It is reported that one harrierette cleaned them out of their bags of Monster Munch.

Hares: Strap-On Crampon & Hot Cheeks
Where: Stonegate Pub, Calgary, AB
RA: On In
Attendance: 30 (or is it 15?)

The (short and curly) hares set out to give us a short and curly trail. However, as the first check had us coil around and around the pub, we had already reached one kilometer when we found true trail! In the end, trail was of regular length with just over 5K.

Down Downs were held outside at the request of the hares. Mmmh Ladyfinger received her 200th run prize (complete with misspelled name).

Hares: Booty Camp and Snow Blow ‘er
Where: Citizen Brewing Company, Calgary, AB
RA: Roaring Nancy
Attendance: 21 (including 4 kidlets)

This run was dubbed the “Best 2pm Run of the Week”! If that’s not high praise, I don’t know what is.

Today was a special day: Family Day and a 69er (which, as we know, is the prelude to how some families get started). In that honor, at least one person went down on trail. And back at the bar, there was some licking and fingering involved too, as Skoob wanted to get rid of the evidence.

Archive: Today saw the return of archived Tommy TwoThreefinger. We’re not sure what warranted the name change. We probably don’t want to know.

Regroup: Dastardly brought his usual growlers of Hot Chocolate (you know, for kids!). Because Dastardly knows how to live, he used a whole 3 1/2 scoops of chocky powder AND offered optional Baileys add-on. We have some photographic evidence that some of the kids hit the sauce a little too hard (see below):

Sexual offence: Strap-On Crampon and Booty Camp were caught “air scissoring” at the bar.

Hare: King Shit
Where: Cold Garden Brewery, Calgary, AB
RA: On In
Attendance: 21

Our old hare prides himself on being old. From the link he posted on the hash Facebook page, he seems to think that he falls into the category of “handsome and distinguished older gentleman”. 🤔 It begs the question: can one be a hasher AND distinguished at once?

Anyhoo… At circle, King Shit sold us a 4k trail with a few slippery patches towards the end, when in fact we slid through almost 6k of sheer ice.

Trail took us to the top of Scotman’s Hill for a stunning view of downtown, beautifully captured by Skewbic Hair.

Down downs were held at Cold Garden, on their heated patio.

Hares: Oozy Pizzle Panties & Liquor Lots
Where: Garrison Pub & Eatery, Calgary, AB
RA: On-In
Attendance: 23

🎶 OPP, how can I explain it
I’ll take you frame by frame it
To have y’all jumpin’ shall we singin’ it
O is for Oozy, P is for Pizzle maybe with a rimple
The last P… well… that’s quite simple
It’s what your call underwear not worn by men.🎶

Circle started off with kind words of remembrance for fellow hasher Lay’em in Snow, who sadly passed last Tuesday after a year-long battle with cancer. We will miss his kindness, positive spirit and wisdom. What a Mensch. On Up, Lem!

Our two harrierettes set a wonderful long(er) trail on this beautiful warm(ish) night. Times are tough and chalk is expensive so marks were few and far between: hares had to guide us through sections of it. Still, it made for a very enjoyable trail through Marda Loop and Sandy Beach, complete with a PG and on-trail smut!

Down Downs were held at the Garrison Pub, directed by RA On In, and songs were led by a S-H-I-T-T-Y C-H-O-I-R, shitty choir (they sucked!), shitty choir (the *really* sucked!). On-In likes his down down beers to be more than a mouthful so beer bitch Just-Ten Beaver, did as she was asked and filled ’em glasses!

Hares: Roaring Nancy and Dastardly
Where: Pizza Bob’s, Calgary, AB
RA: On-In.
Attendance: 16

For those who missed yesterday’s run, please note that this pair of hares will *never set trail together again* (best shouted in RoaaRrring Naaancy’s inimitable voice). We’re not sure what caused the discord as trail was quite wonderful: a mix of street and trail running interspersed with idyllic forest-like segments (see for yourself):

One complaint: the name of the run over-promised and under-delivered on the sex (and the polar vortex). Temperatures (see above) were almost mild in fact. It was even mild enough for people to disrobe, which may have upped the sex appeal, but alas, no one did.

Hares gave us many PG’s to play at and the Universe gave Insane Bolt and Hump the Shark an extra toy, which they both rode long and hard.

We ran near the Tom Baker Cancer Centre and had a thought for our fellow Hasher Lay’em In Snow who – we hear – is not doing too well these days. Let’s send him some love. We miss you, buddy. ❤️

Hares: Hump the Shark (and Dastardly)
Where: Stonewall Pub, Calgary AB
What: Wear your best Scottish getup
RA: On In
Attendance: 19

In honor of Scotland’s most famous bard, the hash organizes a special trail on (or close to) his birthday on a yearly basis. This year, Hump the Shark (the least Scottish hasher?) volunteered for the job. On-In (the Scottishest hasher) was RA and beguiled us with his own rendition(s) of Rabbie Burns poetry. Even after seeing the printed words, I’m not sure it is any more comprehensible.

Trail was true to Hump’s style: on the longer side at around 8.5km. Feel the Burns! Over achiever “Insane Bolt” is rumoured to have run even more than the hare covered as he set it, with check backs and all (11.5km).

Only a handful of hashers dressed the part, with kilt-clad Hardly being the most Scottish-looking (despite his strong Teutonic roots). Some (including myself, in the name of the “auld alliance“) wore some tartan accessories.

Oan oan!

Hares: Skewbic Hair, Hump the Shark, Dastardly
Where: Carburn Park, Calgary, AB
On In: The Station Pub and Grill, Calgary, AB
RA: RoaaarrRRring Naaancy
Attendance: 18

In loving mammary of Thunder Tits, Dastardly decided to hare this trail on the anniversary of her passing. And then he did his back in and called upon able-bodied hashers to do the work for him.

The pack met up at Carburn Park and the hares took us on a winding pilgrimage through Thunder Tits’s old stomping grounds. It was foggy and spooky.

Trail was a touch longer than people were comfortable with and only a couple of true athletes completed the “Eagle” trail while most settled for turkeying back to the car park.

A few archives came out for the occasion and we reminisced about the good old days of Thunder Tits.

May you rest in peace, TT.

Hares: Snevil
Where: The Dirty Duck, Calgary, AB
RA: On In
Attendance: 14

Who’s a dirty, dirty duck?

Cinderfella was supposed to hare this week’s trail but he must have gotten cold feet and his beautiful wife Snevil ended up doing him a solid and taking this monumental task off his hands.

Snevil is a seasoned pro, so she doesn’t like to set trail in her image (short and sweet).
