Hash #112 was another resounding
success with 41 people turning up and enjoying an outing at Huay Sak
Reservoir. Besides the regulars there
were many teachers from the local schools, MFLU and even from Chiang Mai with a
large Princeton in Asia contingent.
The hares were Curly Beaver, Dam
Beaver and Bottom’s Up who audaciously decided to add a new type of check to
our usual V, O and X checks – the triangle.
The triangle was a mark for “a scenic viewpoint” which in reality meant climbing up to the
chedi on the top of the highest hill in the area. Of the 41, 4 managed the climb (and still
were able to finish at the front of the pack!)
The hares had also spent time setting false trails complete with chalk
art expressing a middle finger to let the FRBs know they had been had. Unfortunately for the hares, Bottom’s Up was
so concerned about not making the checks too hard, no one actually found any of
the false trails!
The FRBs were virgin Laurel, who had
competed in the CM marathon the week before, virgin Brian, a teacher who did
XTERRA triathlons, Oral Blaster who after a fast start, slowed
considerably after finding an attractive
young lady to walk with, Namron who needed to use his short cutting skills in
order to keep up with the 2 virgins and Goes Down Hard who made considerable
effort to outrun Namron but yet again failed.
The returning FRBs were greeted by No Name, Buffalo Bill, Ranger Danger
and Johnny Walker who had (wisely?) decided there was no reason to do a long
hot walk when you could have lots of fun just jumping on the trampoline
and swimming in the lake. Many of the
adults followed their lead and soon clothes were coming off. One hasher had so much fun she forgot to put
her pants back on and she may contact the scribe in order to get her pants back
(if she dares!)
The swimming delayed the circle but
finally Able Semen got things rolling.
Considerable time was taken with hash names as 5 hashers showed up for
their 3rd time. Alex – a
young, handsome, fit, Princeton grad was given the exalted name “Alexander the
Average.” Alan – a MFLU teacher who when
asked if he was the chair of the dept at the university replied “I’m not as
much of a chair as a loose stool” was given the rather crappy name of “Loose
Stool.” A Dutch retired Dick Tracy was
given the name “ Agent Orange.” Mandy, a
young lady who was a math major in college got the name “Manderbation” even
though many of us felt the name “Math Debater” was more appropriate. (Rocky Whore was especially vocal and said
“if I can get the name Rocky Whore what the hell is wrong with Math
Debater?”) The last hasher, a friend of
Mandy, got the name “Ode to Joy.” Finally,
one of the young Princeton in Asia hashers who just happened to be having his
22nd birthday on the day of the hash, rather astutely noted that
“The hash is the only place where you lose your virginity before you a
baptized.”
Sadly, the 112 hash was the final CR Hash for 8 of
our teachers who were soon to be leaving so in honor of them and to say thanks
for their contribution Namron put them all on ice. Curly Beaver was especially impressed. While Left in the Field was cooling her
derriere along with the other 7, Puck Off came into the circle and decided that
the name Left in the Field was not the most appropriate name for the softball
playing teacher who was reluctant to slide during games and also crashed during
the Christmas hash so Puck Off proposed we change the name to Goes Down
Hard. It was difficult for Left in the
Field to swallow but since there were no objections her new name eventually
went down. Finally after the circle finished, most of the hashers stayed
and enjoyed the buffet dinner put on by the Planet Wakeboard group. Overall an excellent event and a feather in
the cap for the Beaver crew.
