2006 Santa Fu*k's The Hash

It's official - the Evil Elf #1 (NFB) has confirmed that this monstrosity will again occur. He says its a "traditional" hash which to him means not only an ontime start but no theme (except the fu*king of course) and little beer on trail.

Reading is a kennel that is rich in tradition and our wankers return each year, like lemmings, to Mt Penn on Independence Day AM as well as following the elves at Christmastime.

Maybe its the shared misery of being run up and down Mt Penn without purpose, of trails that just die with absolutely no clue where to go or maybe it's just the chance to sit on Santa's lap and get a gift and a grope.

Either way, its cumming soon - SATURDAY December 16th at 1PM.

Comments On The New Reading Pig

A male hasher says:

The new pig is pretty cool, and pays respect to the time-honored RH3pig (on his shirt) but it looks like he is WEARING NEW SHOES!

DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN....


A bimbo states:

OE,
I don't know how to tell you this but, the new pig looks like he's a type A fag on 'roids.

DC Red Dress Run

DC Red Dress #13
OE's Hash Trash
Saturday October 7th 2006



After several years of making DC an annual pilgrimage in October I was giving thought to making this my last year for awhile.

Years ago there were a bunch of Reading and H5 hashers who attended among the 1000 total. This year it was just me and VAGINA WHINER and the event was capped at 425.

If I had stayed home I would have been able to make the Hayride & Straub's hashes, spent a whole lot less money and done a whole lot less driving.

But then I arrived in DC and I knew that my addiction to this hash event was well worth it.

There is just something about Red Dress Weekend that is hard to find anywhere else. DC is such a crazy vibrant city - even BEFORE 100s of idjits in red dresses arrive. What a contrast to the 10s of thousands of runners who are also in town for the Army 10 Miler.

The weekend starts with Friday's lingerie hash - 125 people in their best fineries running the streets. Many people just skip the running and arrive in their lingerie and start drinking beer.

Saturday the red masses converge. This year the ONON was at a bar named "HR 57". HR57 is big news in the DC arts community as it has been under renovation for three years (and several 100 thousand tax dollars). Thankfully it is still a dive and the hashers couldn't harm anything.

Every conceivable type of red dress was present: from Strawberry Shortcake to coneheads wearing red to barely-there lingerie.

Not long after I signed in I ran into VAGINA WHINER. He was attending solo and was the sole representative of the Hbg-Hersheyt HHH.

It didn't take long for him to start having a good time.

A professional photography outfit was again inhouse and taking pics for anyone who wanted them. All included in your rego and you ended up with a nice 5x7 in a frame.

The steady rain subsided just before we circled in the trash-strewn back alley. The mob was off.

Remembering 2004 when I was at the back of the pack on the runners trail (with 3 bims) and we found ourselves in a back alley with a junkie shooting up ( a safe place to be with a few HUNDRED others but no so safe when it was just 4 of us) - I decided that my photographic proclivities would be best served on the walkers trail.

It always seemed wrong to run by so many fascinating things in DC with no hope of checking them out. The walkers trail was a whole lot more fun as I could take photos and check things out without falling hopelessly behind (and possibly being ass bungled or killed by a soulless back alley crackhead).

The trail soon came to the BC - a nice bar that didn't seem to mind our red-clad hordes. The beer flowed freely and we lingered for the better part of an hour. A DJ was kicking tunes and many people danced and interacted. It was great to see some of the friendly faces that I hadn't seen for a year and meet some crazy new wankers.

Somebody broke out a very red tube of lipstick and before long half the pack was covered in red smooch marks.

The pack returned to the trail and before long we were back at the dump. The food was being served and another DJ was somehow making the sardines dance.

At 8PM we got the boot and I heard several ON-AFTERs being announced.
I said my goodbyes and headed off into the darkness. Walking back I saw some odd things including the dimly lit Iraqi Embassy and a scene in the 2nd floor living room window where a well dressed older man was posing for a photo with a tall fugly transvestite. Even odder, the photographer was a pirate dressed completely in purple. Odd even for the Dupont Circle area.

If you haven't been to the DC Red Dress run - you need to go at least once. It's a hashing experience that you won't regret.

Hash Info Including The Santa Hash

Readingites:

Even though we failed to do something for HARRYBELLYFONTE's visit (he will be returning and we can have a 2nd shot) - we have a LOT of hashing upcoming.

This Friday, October 6th is a HAYRIDE HASH (carrying both a Reading and TMI trail #). Sounds like a great time. I will be in DC for the 13th RED DRESS RUN but I hope we have a lot of RH3 hashers in attendance.

Saturday is the STRAUB'S HASH in Wrightsville. That's one hour from downtown Reading.

Sunday the 15th is a LOW KEY HASH with low keyed hares BAD and UNCLE FESTER. ONON is at Stoudt's clocktower.

Sunday the 22nd takes us to Blue Marsh. No walkers trail. Expect a shiggy mess.

Then, its Halloween Hash time. Harrisburg and Philly start out with theirs on Saturday the 28th. The Reading Halloweenie will start with our participation in the 2nd Annual "Fitzy's Run" for brain tumor research. EVERYDAY and OE drank beer before, during and after (maybe the only ones doing so). Following this fun and meaningful and costumed event (EVERYDAY won best dressed for his prom queen getup) there will be a short trail to more beer and food.

Hares are needed for BOTH November Sundays. You? Yes, YOU! Lehigh Valley has their regular trail on 11/18 and their famous BLACK FRIDAY HASH on the 24th.

And, the #1 evil elf, NFB, has tentatively slated Sat December 16th for SANTA FU&K'S THE HASH. He warns this will be a "traditional" Santa Hash which in his terminogy equates to an ontime start, little beer on trail and pathetic greasy food afterwards. A true fu%king! But, the festivities at the apres make up for the f'ing as Santa calls each and every hasher to his lap for a wonderful gift.

As always, tell a friend (preferably a bimbo) about the hash. Our numbers are increasing. Reading kicks ass and its time we make that known. The first thing is for YOU to get out and hash.

See you on trail!
