Yummy Kippers and Erections!

The Beginning

As regular as clockwork, the annual Yummy Kippers run combined with the Erections for the group. A many dimensional event, we plan to celebrate Yom Kippur (atonement and repentance), enjoy some golden goldfish, have a run and finally, renew the CH3 mismanagement for another year.

The start location was Bitter Sisters Brewing Company. However, the have short hours on Monday’s, so it was decided to do the ceremonies in the back parking lot with a good streetlight. Sneak into Bitter Sisters prior to closing to enjoy a pint and enjoy the evening.

Hashers began to arrive. The smart ones parked behind the pub while the other ones chose to park in the front parking lot and walked to the run start location.

Princess Monkey Spanker called the circle to order and went through the announcements and introductions.

The hares were invited into the circle to describe the marks they have for the run.

With the marks described, the first mark was a check and the pack was released! Madly off in all directions looking for the true trail!

The Trail

From the staring point, there were many options for the trail to go. Initially, the pack went the “wrong way”, only to conclude that there were no marks to be found.

A snow collection was nearby, which could have been a snow ball opportunity. Opportunity not taken!

With many possibilities to explore, the pack was initially confused.

It was in the alley, and now the pack was on trail.

With the parking lot achieved, it was time to enjoy refreshments and prepare for the outdoor down down’s.

Snacks were available to compliment the refreshments!

The Down Down’s

The group continued to get organized. Chairs appeared and hashers were mingling and enjoying beverages in anticipation of both the down down’s and the Erections!

Stool Stuffer was guilted into performing the Religious Advisor (RA) duties. Some confusion on the timing of the recent Rocky Mountain Hash resulted SS and RB being no shows. Stoolie has volunteered to RA the Rocky Mountain. Thus, it seems reasonable to have Stoolie RA the run tonight!

Stool Stuffer prepared his program. Essentially this is a prelube the “big event”, the Erections! Stoolie declared that all down down’s would have the participants select their own song.

First off, a down down for the hares! A fine trail though the wilds of Kingsland resulting in a fine experience for those who participated!

Various and sundry offences were conjured up. Fashion, shortcutting, and other made up offences.

Menage-a-Trois had a milestone. She cunningly conscripted a stunt double to help with the middle part of the half yard.

With the down down’s done, acknowledged the RA, it was now time for the Erections! Hashmaster Insane Bolt went through the formalities of resolving the MisManagement for the next year.

Erections are a big deal. Volunteering to help the club continue to deliver a great hashing experience is good for the soul. It takes a village to run the Hash, and we can now have a new crew to see us through for another year. The painful details of who is doing what will follow. Short story – PMS steps down. Camshaft steps up. The rest of the bunch continue and all is well!

With the stress of the Erections done, it was off to Bitter Sisters to enjoy a pint before they kick us out.

Pyro even brought his own chair for comfort. There may have been a small problem with who had the keys to the car. Best seat in the house!

Trail Summary

A moderate trail of close to 5 km’s was enjoyed. Good temperatures and lots of marks made it all good! Thanks for Hardly and Twisty for setting an appropriate trail for us all!

CH3 MisManagement Revealed!

The Beginning

A lot to pack in to the last run in September. Not only was it orange shirt day everywhere, it was the annual Erections run where new MisManagement is announced.

The start location was the Marda Loop Brewing Company. As Marda Loop is in a perpetual state of reconstruction with associated detours and parking challenges. My GPS directed me on a road that was closed.

Thankfully, we new about the secret parking behind the pub, and all was made good again. People in orange gathered in the pub awaiting the start of the run.

On In and PMS declared that it was time to form a circle outside on the sidewalk. Another feature of the run was impending darkness. The shortness of daylight is becoming more a headlight required condition for enjoying the run.

On In went through the circle. Archives Mydol, No Hare and Hooplala. Snow Blower celebrating 250 runs. The hares were called into the circle to explain the marks for the trail.

Hot Cheeks pointed in a direction and the pack was released.

The Trail

The trail headed off into the streets and sidewalks of the Marda Loop neighbourhood. Many checks and false trail were included in the mix. Eventually, the trail was discovered and followed.

With the light fading, we eventually made our way to the regroup which was in a secret location.

A fine selection of refreshments were enjoyed prior to heading back to the pub for the down down’s and erections.

On In and Down Down’s

We had a section of the patio reserved for the group. As we got settled in, the fine Marda Loop Brewing products came out.

Hump the Shark was appointed as Religious Advisor and the refreshments were poured and made ready.

The choir was Skewbic Hair and Slow Clap. Between the two of them, they knew just about enough songs.

The celebration of the run started with acknowledging the hares. Then multiple offences and crimes before the big event….Erections!

And then, PMS took charge to announce the new mismanagement.

As mismanagement positions are highly desirable and sought after, the back room wheeling and dealing was complete and we had a team engaged to sustain the group for another year.

On In was thanked for his tenure as co Hashmaster, and Insane Bolt will fill his shoes. PMS was coerced in holding onto her Hashmatress role for “one more year”.
