Boxing Shorts Run on Boxing Day

The Beginning

A tradition in the Calgary Hash is to conduct a Boxing Day Run after Christmas, which hashers adorned with boxer shorts, a box, or other costume to celebrate this special day.

As this is an afternoon run, no headlights required. The group assembled at the Hardly Twisty residence in the NW community of Beddington.

The group of intrepid daytime hashers assembled in the Boxing day finery in anticipation of the run. With Boxer shorts and other box themed costume, the group was ready to run.

Conveniently, hashers Dirty Dancer and Mouthful live across the street from Hardly and Twisty. Not only were they in attendance, but the hash used their driveway for the circle!

In the absence of anyone that looked like a Hash master, Hash mattress or Past-it-master, Booty Camp conducted the circle. She know the correct number for the run and went through the introductions.

Booty Camp introduced the hares and we were given a description of the marks to expect for this run. Circles were replaced by squares The group needed some time to figure out what this meant, but eventually figured out that the squares were in fact boxes.

The hash was released to find the check backs that Hardly had placed at the beginning to destabilize the pack. Eventually, true trail was discovered and followed

The Trail

Beddington is on the side of Nose Hill. As such, there is an overabundance of uphill that was delivered to the group. No getting away from it.

Through the sidewalks, streets alleys and pathways, marks were in abundance.

Eventually, we were delivered to a plateau with a view of the airport. A group photo of those that chose to be part of the running faction.

The hair did not want us to think that the viewpoint was the peak of the run, there was more uphill to be discovered and the distance increased.

Some of the pathway features were quite interesting. Apparently, it is good practice to chain up your buffalo statue to prevent theft.

Rashy Bush was out to set a personal best with her speed and perseverance. How to go from front of the pack to the back of the pack with the discovery of some key check backs.

The walkers provided some evidence of live hares on the trail, plus some interesting Christmas decorations.

Thankfully, it was all downhill to the regroup where beverages and snacks were available.

Beverages and shelter for post run celebrations

The down down’s were conducted in the garage. A good choice instead of making a mess in the kitchen!

The Down Down’s

Skewbic Hair was pre-selected to be the religious advisor for the afternoon. He solicited material from the group and imagined a program for the celebration.

Normally tied up with photo taking for the run, Scoobie offloaded the task to Tighty Whitey for the down down’s.

Too bad we did not get the whole can of beer in the frame..

Scoobie requested that the group think of songs, as a choir was a bit much for the special group. The hares were called up first and we sang them a fine song about the shitty trail.

A number of offences were observed on trail and a series of down down’s were delivered,

The photographer declared that we needed a group photo to share with those that were not able to be here is person. Look at all the fun they missed!

With everything complete, it was time for Scoobie to declare “on the piss” so we could move on to the feasting portion of the day.

The Hardly Twisty’s put on a fine feast of pot luck goodies. Very yummy and tasty. Nothing like a big feast in the afternoon to bulk up for the post Christmas season!

Trail Summary

A challenging trail through the hilly neighbourhoods, lasting somewhere between 5 and 6 kms. Great views and plenty of uphill!

As you may or may not be aware, the is the location that donated the Christmas tree to the Alberta government MacDougall School this year.

Ask Auntie Frank if he has any idea how this happened……

The Beginning

With Christmas close, fitting in a bunch of runs in a row can be challenging. Thankfully, Booty Camp and Snow Blower volunteered to set this trail from a tap room in Ramsey. Evil Corporation Brewing was the start point for the run. We gathered inside in their space age venue and prepared for the run to get started.

The group assembled with a number of visitors who were in town for the Christmas season. This was balanced by a bunch of the regulars that were out of town. In all, we had 23 runners out which was quite a respectable number for this time of year.

A few inside picture of the gathered hashers in the better lighting.

Outside to the parking lot to get this show on the road. In the absence of our Hashmasters (PMS and Insane Bolt), Past-It-Master On In ran the circle.

On In went through the formalities and introduced the visitors and archives to the group. The hares, Booty Camp and Snow Blower were called into the circle to describe the marks that had set for the trail.

The hares point in a vague direction to the Southwest and the pack was released.

The Trail

Off into the streets and sidewalks illuminated with the soft glow of the street lights. We suspected that some hill climbing was going to be part of the run as there was mention of a view point.

Marks were found and followed to the best of our ability.

Yes there was some hill climbing and some long check backs laid out for the pack to enjoy. Eventually, we made it to the view point and spent some time taking it all in!

A display of some of the ultra reflective clothing worn by some. Slippy simply radiates…..

What goes up must come down. What do you think the chances of having a check back at the bottom of the stairs! 100%

Once the sheeple realized that the stairs were a set up, off we went to find more terrain and Christmas lights in the neighbourhood of Ramsey.

Eventually, the regroup was discovered and tasty libations were enjoyed.

From the regroup, the pack made their way back to the Evil Corporation Brewing location.

The Down Down’s

Evil Corporation Brewing had offered us the use of their boardroom as a private room for the group.

Plan B was to go the the open taproom as we had more people than the room could comfortably accommodate.

A bit of a chore to have the single owner/server deal with the group, but eventually beer was delivered to us all and it was time to to get the down down’s underway.

Tightey Whitey volunteered to be the Religious Advisor, and planned to run a Christmas themed business meeting.

A choir was selected and the Christmas song book came out of storage to support the program.

A detailed program was planned and delivered, much to the delight of those receiving down down’s.

After much rejoicing, Tighty Whitey declared us done and “on the piss”

The beer was good and we continued to enjoy the fine company of the group until it was time to leave.

A fine trail with great views that was close to 5 km’s. Great views and warm weather were a nice touch…..

Hash Extra

As we all know, hashing can be dangerous. One of our valiant hashers, King Shit, had a bit of a mis step resulting in a broken bone in his finger. We wish KS a speedy recovery from his injury.

Remembering Hardly

The Beginning

Remembrance Day is an annual reminder of those who have contributed to the country we have today. It is up to us to remember the sacrifices that were made for our country.

Hardly agreed to set trail on this special day. Coincidentally, his birthday, he had mapped out a long and hard trail that we would never forget. He chose to partially set trail, and conduct the balance as a “live hare”. As such, we did not see him in the circle as he was out setting and resetting marks to make the trail a success!

The Brickwell Taproom was the starting point. Up in the north, the location attracted a number of northern hashers that we have not seen in a while. A great turnout of 30 people, and weather that was not horrible set the stage for a memorable trail.

The venue was a good place to start from, but not so good for the closing ceremonies as they had a Monday Night Football crowd who had priority. Early closing did not help either, so down down’s in the parking lot.

We gathered inside until it was time to head outside.

The group found a suitable location in the parking lot to circle up.

A happy group who did a great job of remembering that Monday night is a hashing night.

Insane Bolt led the circle and all was well. Archives, announcements and introductions complete.

Insane Bolt resting between circle events

Eventually, it was time for Twisty to describe the marks to follow for the Remember Hardly trail. Hardly was hiding on trail somewhere ready to pounce as a “live hare”.

The Hash was released to find trail markings and follow the trail.

The Trail

Off we went in search of marks. Once found, the pack shouted “On On” and started what would end up being a trail to remember.

As we wandered through these established neighbourhoods, we stumbled upon Hash Test Dummy and Auntie Frank’s renovated property, marked by the “GM”, for the Garage Mahal. A property flippers dream!

Through the streets, bridges and neighbourhoods, we stumbled upon some great views and a playground.

After what appears to be over 9 km’s, the regroup was discovered and the group prepared for outdoor down down’s.

Down Down’s

The group prepared for the down down celebration. Abandoned Pussy was the religious advisor for the evening, and proceeded to pick a choir to start the festivities.

Choir: Scoobie, Mr. Peanut and Insane Bolt

AP got into her program and thanked the hares for setting a trail to remember. Other down downs to the archives and visitors, as well as birthday and trail transgressions.

Eventually, we ran out of material and were declared “on the piss”. Some enthusiasts retired to Citizen Brewing for a debrief.

Trail Summary

A long and hard trail that we will never forget. With checkbacks, some achieved > 9km. A great overachievement demonstration.

Attendance: 26

Hard to Imagine!

The Beginning

With Halloween approaching, the group had to figure out what to do. Some years we have done a pub crawl with full costume, while other years we have been more restrained,

This year, it was a half way “wear a Halloween Hat” theme. Snow Blower set trail with the emotional assistance of Booty Camp from the ever popular Two House Brewing Taproom and Pizza. Close to the elevated C-Train track and the Sunalta neighbourhood, a great location for a run.

Some of us were a bit tardy to the run start, so we were a bit rushed trying to capture the “beginning”. It would appear that many hashers sporting hats were present. Some went “full costume” as that is what makes their world turn. A reasonable turn out of 26 or so hashers was achieved. Did I mention that it is now dark when we start the runs?

A few shots to capture the enthusiasm of the group!

PMS used her best bossy tone to get the group organized for the hares to tell us about the trail.

PMS checking her flexibility and clapping to keep the evil spirts at bay

Fast trail making with the tandem technique

Snow Blow indicated that the first mark was the arrow head west into the urban darkness. The pack was released!

The Trail

Starting along 10 ave SW, in the shadow of the elevated C-Trail tracks, we headed west until we found the check at the C-Trail station. As expected, a massive check back was set up for the keen runners. A large group returned to the check after they realized they had been had.

Hot Cheeks was caught out on a raised access cover on the sidewalks. The went down on trail and was not pleased. I’m sure the city will drop by and fix the tripping hazard at their convenience. Hot Cheeks survived to finish the trail.

Tripping hazard, as demonstrated by Hot Cheeks!

Off through the neighbourhoods, there was endless climbing up to near 17 Ave SW. We were driven by the fact that what goes up must come down. Parks and decoration were enjoyed on the trail.

A viewpoint was promised and delivered.

Off through the neighbourhoods to check out the decorations. The size of the skeletons attracted the interest of some of the Harrierettes.

Camshaft and Booty Camp happy to be there!

On In and Down Down’s

After our regroup, we headed over to Two House Taproom and Pizza. Busy place with trivia going full bore. We had a reserved table, which was good. Food and refreshments were enjoyed, then we retired to the patio for the closing ceremonies.

As it appeared that trivia would never end, we headed out to the patio to conduct the down down’s. Hump the Shark was religious advisor. Tighty Whitey, caught bashing, was volunteered to be choir.

The hares were thanked, and many crimes and offences were dealt with.

There was much mirth and merriment focused on Booty Camp’s costume hat. An undue amount of attention to the dangling bits was quite a spectacle.

Eventually, the down down’s were done and we were on the piss.

Run 2367 – AP Does Mahogany in the Snow

October 21, 2024 The Scribe

Hares: Abandoned Pussy (AP)

Calgary, AB T3M 1N9

RA: Hump the Shark

Attendance: 16

Yacht Parking in Mahogany SW

The Beginning

Abandoned Pussy was pressured to set trail for the group. Happy to help, she chose her neighbourhood of Mahogany SE which is very far south. In addition, she arranged for the first day of snow to appear on the day of her run. Darkness is also a thing so headlights on at the beginning of the run is now a thing. In spite of all these opportunities, AP pulled it off and set a great trail.

Being this far south, you never know how long it will take to get there. For those living in the North, it was like an expedition. However, those folks that figured it out were entertained by a great trail in the modern new neighbourhood with complete with lakeside mansions and Halloween lights galore.

The start location was in a park called Central Park. Not to be confused with other parks in Calgary also named Central Park, that are not in Mahogany. Google Maps had it sorted.

With diminishing twilight, the runners arrived and a circle was formed.

The park had some interesting features including a significant slide and a hiding place that looked like an airplane fuselage.

As we got things organized, PMS commanded the circle into existence and went through the formalities. A few late cummers missed the circle, so not everyone got a souvenir photo to remember the event. Missed new boot Just Christian, Hardly and Twisty, and King Shit (Vinnie).

We went through the announcements and introductions. Abandoned Pussy was called into the circle to describe the run marks.

The run began in the direction provided by AP.

The Trail

Madly off to find the marks. Those marks that survived the snow dusting were difficult to see. Flagging was good it you knew where to look.

In this high density, new neighbourhood, lots of fancy lights and Halloween decorations. Playgrounds were tested and proved interesting with the new snow.

The fake lake provided some great views of the McMansions with personal docks for their watercraft. Who knew this existed in this part of the world!

Down Down’s

In the park, in the cold, in the snow. What a great set up for down down’s. As such, we opted for an abbreviated version to suite the circumstances. A picnic shelter (of some sort) has some cover to keep our ceremonies someone covert.

Religious Advisor was Hump the Shark. Songs from the group. Get this done!

Apparently there was a half yard celebration. Normally, we try to heat the beer to suitable drinking temperature using a volunteer hasher with the right equipment. Slippy Thong opted for the blanket approach for half yard warming.

Hares, other offences and ultimately the half yard performance made a great abbreviated performance.

LSOS was challenged by the coolness of the beer. As such, the consumption was attenuated to manage throat temperature. After some some, it was all done and we rejoiced! It was not a world speed record.

Normally would have the “its done” shot here. Slow process.

Eventually, LSOS completed his award and we were declared “on the piss” by Hump the Shark.

Some of the group retired to the warmth of the Blackbird Urban Pub for further celebration.

Trail Summary

The scenic trail was slightly over 5 km in length. Quite scenic with all the lights and decorations from this upscale community. Some of us had a longer distance as we did not stop our devices at the end of the run. Have the car travelled distance to the pub included in this rendition.

Regroup in Sight, Over there!

The Beginning

Liquor Lots and OPP volunteered to set the run for the week. They chose the Weaselhead Natural Area in the SW by the reservoir. An area notorious for critters, mud, water, dense forest, and steep trails. The perfect location for a hash run.

Both OPP and LL did their due diligence to ensure that the hash would be entertained by the trail they had chosen.

Steep terrain coupled with high water levels provided shiggy galore. We were warned to bring dry shoes and socks to change into after the run.

The other problem we had to deal with is the onset of darkness. This time of year sucks as each day is materially shorter than the day before. Blinding sun at the start of the run, and post sunset conditions at the end of the trail.

Hashers began to gather in the parking lot of North Glenmore Park Weaselhead access. A reasonable turn out of 23 intrepid souls ready to go hashing.

PMS called the circle to order and we went through the announcements and introductions.

The hares in the circle explained the chalk marks and flour marks that marked the trail.

Liquor Lots raised her arm and pointed in some general direction and the pack was released.

The Trail

From the parking lot, some choices on which pathways to take. We have been sucked into the huge steep climb down to the water in the past. We needed to be sure. The sun was blinding.

Many natural sights were observed on trail. Here is a selection of some of the experience that was had by the group.

More shots from the trail that show what a terrible part of the country we have to live in.

As the sun set, and twilight started to take over, we had some climbing to do before the end of the trail.

All good runs must come to and end. We set up the down down circle in the parking lot in anticipation of regroup and down down refreshments.

Regroup and Down Down’s

It was planned to be parking lot down down’s, so bring your own chair.

A bit of a delay before the keys for the regroup vehicle appeared. This was acknowledged with a down down later in the program.

Hump the Shark was the religious advisor, by unanimous consideration. He selected King Shit and Insane Bolt as choir. Photographic quality deteriorates as the sun goes down. People move way too quickly in the darkness.

The program was delivered with humour, panache and pace. A quick succession of crimes and punishments were delivered to the offending hashers.

In the dark, Hump the Shark declared us “on the piss”. Limited interest in off to the bar for more celebration, so an abbreviated version was conducted in the parking lot in the dark.

Trail Summary

A fine trail of somewhere between 5 km and 6 km. Appreciate the effort to set the wilderness trails, which become more difficult as the dark season encroaches.

Downtown View from Dover SE

The Beginning

Stool Stuffer volunteered to set trail. Weather was in transition from way to hot to summer is over. Apparently, the run was cool and windy, and the days are getting shorter.

The run start was Valleyview Park SE, in the community of Dover. Some might say it is on the wrong side of the Deerfoot Trail, but, as such, offers some great views. If you can look past the big highway, you can see downtown and the Bow River.

With school now in, our wandering teachers are now back in town, for the most part. An enthusiastic group gather in the parking lot and the circle formed.

Stool Stuffer and Rashy Bush explained the marks and what to look for on the trail. Be careful of the shiggy and prickly things.

Looks like: On, Check, Check Back, Beer Near, Beer Very Near and Regroup

The pack dispersed to find the marks along the trails and in the neighbourhoods nearby.

The Trail

From the parking lot, the trail lead into the neighbourhoods. A combination of streets and pathways as well as some of the finer amenities that the Dover neighbourhood has to offer.

If the feet are this big, imagine the size of the rest!

The city has adopted some of the hash markings for their local needs.

Eventually the trail ran out of marks and the trail was over.

The Down Down’s

Back at he parking lot, the chairs came out and the down down circle formed.

Religious Advisor for the week was Roaring Nancy. He was supported by a choir of Lazy Cummer, Snow Blower and Hardly.

Choir: Hardly, Lazy Cummer and Snow Blower

Numerous crimes were committed. Some of which included:

Hares – Rash and Stoolie, Racists – Slippy Thong and PMS, Triple X-Ray had no chair, so borrowed one. Daisy Duke and his horn, Hump the Shark – 300 runs, but forgot the 1/2 yard vessel. Hash Shit material.

As your hash scribe was absent for the run, the crimes and the pictures are not necessarily all there. Just goes to show you have to be there to take it all in.

Look what we found on the run!

The Beginning

Camshaft and Mmmmm Lady Fingers took a break from their hectic vacation and travel schedule to set a hash run for the group. The actual location was worth waiting for, as it was in a neighbourhood that we have not been to much. The community of Wentworth, in the SW is really far west. Think Canada Olympic Park and south. Thankfully, Google knew where to go, and access off the new ring road made this location very accessible!

A park in a new neighbourhood, with a basketball court, was the starting point. Parking was limited but available, once the fire hydrants were figured out. All was well and we attracted a crowd of 25 hashers.

The hashers arrived and a circle began to form.

PMS ran the circle and it was good. Hares, Camshaft and Mmmmmm Lady Fingers went through the marks for the trail.

PMS sharing a secret message for the hash

With the marks described, the pack was released. Playgrounds were promised.

The Trail

The pack found the marks and followed the trail. A combination of paved and wilderness trail was revealed to the runners.

There was a tunnel that we had to navigate under Bow Trail. Parks appeared and there was much playing enjoyment by both the runners and the walkers.

A particularly dangerous swing was discovered that had “hospital visit” written all over it. This was a source of great mirth and merriment for some.

Eventually, the trail wound down and the regroup was discovered.

Regroup and Down Down’s

Hidden in plane site, the regroup was tucked into the construction equipment close to the active building sites. High density housing is happening here!

Regroup with convenient seating on the adjacent equipment

Insane bolt testing the horn on the small loader

The group redeployed to the starting location and set up for a down down circle.

Lying Sack of Shit was appointed as Religious Advisor. A pink shirted choir of King Shit, Liquor Lots and Mmmmm Lady Fingers was selected to deliver the ceremony.

And so it begins. Crimes and punishments galore. LSOS had the liability of a hash shit that he wanted to move along. Multiple “big group” down downs ensured all the drinks were dispensed with.

Moving the hash shit along did not go as planned. LSOS had to make up a story the ultimately gifted the spanking monkey to the originator PMS.

PMS can not believe she got the hash shit back…

On the Piss declared and we are done.

The police dropped by to see if there was anyone disturbing us, as they had some calls. Our response is that we were not being disturbed and if we were, we would call them back! They liked are set up and told us to have a nice evening. Could have ended differently!

Viewpoint on the Run – Cliff Diving Opportunity?

The Beginning

We have to be grateful to the Pyro clan for stepping up to run setting in the peak vacation period. Pyro saved the Hash last week, and Insane Bolt stepped up to set trail. We have seen more of the NW in the last month than we have in the last year!

Insane is noted for setting challenging trails.

Hashers arrived at the Silver Point Pub parking lot in anticipation of a great trail. It would appear that there was an archive hasher that showed up, Veggie Wanker. Has not been out for some time. Sloppy seconds returned. He is becoming a regular hasher!

Insane Bolt explained the marks. There was an Eagle /Turkey split for those so inclined.

The Trail

Silver Springs community has an extensive pathway network along the Bow River. Some great climbs with spectacular views. Looks like the pack was going to find them all!

Eventually, the trail was done and the regroup/down down’s were ready to enjoy.

Trail Might Be this Way!

The Beginning

We thank Pyro for setting trail in August. Pyro saves the hash once again and we appreciate the effort. Close to home in the NW, Pyro chose the West End of Baker Park for the run start. Not to be confused with the “other” start point in Baker Park that Hump the Shark chose last month. A clarification e-mail confirmed the start point location and a group of 22 intrepid hashers showed up for the run!

Apparently, Lumberjack made an appearance. As he is now a Vernon BC resident, it was a while since he has enlightened the Calgary group with his presence. Lumberjack attracted another archive, Party Pumper, who came out to play. Perhaps a reunion of the Lumby dancers is in the works for a future hash?

The dusty parking lot was the start venue.

Imagine this as the start of the run (vs the end)

As the usual hash photographer and scribe was elsewhere, the notes and pictures were supplied by others. As such, not much from the start of the run.

I am sure that On In got the circle together. Announcements were conducted. Welcome if the archives, Lumber Jack and Party Pumper. Dastardly had a milestone run. The group went through the names.

Pyro was called into the circle to describe the marks he had selected for the trail.

Let the adventure begin and the pack was off!

The Trail

Down to the river. Explore the catacombs of urban design. Uphill and around about. Through the pathways and ravines of Tuscany.

No shortage of photo opportunities for the photogenic sector of the group. We should use this to promote new membership!

It would appear that the run was successful! The joy and satisfaction of a run well done was ready to be rewarded!

The Regroup and the Down Down’s

The circle of chairs was formed and the outdoor down down show was assembled. Creative creation of an outdoor table from a cooler lid and cases of beer!

Hump the Shark nominated himself to be RA. Choir was Hardly and Lazy Cummer.

Hump the Shark with the choir, Lazy Cummer and Hardly

This list of crimes and punishments was extensive. So extensive that it was duly documented by the RA. Crimes in the captions of the photo’s.

After an extensive number of songs and frivolity, the group settled down to some munching and drinking. On the piss was declared by Hump the Shark!
