LVH3 Roadtrip, Yuengling Hash, Bloody Valentines

Reading Hashers:

Greetings!

First, let me offer you my sincere thanks for *NOT* spamming up our yahoogroup. If you happen to belong to the Hbg-Hershey list - its been a bloodbath lately - mainly of non-hash related nonsense. Ours remains pretty free of non-essential posts. FART CONNOR is the exception because his postings are usually done as a result of a raised BAC. :p

Last weekend I represented the Reading HHH at the Lehigh Valley's 50th Hash. There was beer on a shiggy-ful trail followed by an apres at a dive bar. A good time was had by all. If you havent made the short road trip to our neighbors to the NE - I recommend it. Our Reading-LVH3 Interhash is upcoming - on world hash day - 6/9.

PEED BY ME was not spotted.

This weekend is the 2nd Anal YUENGLING HASH in Pottsville.
I have heard that BIGRIG, JELLO, JAFO, DOODLE & GLASS ASS will be attending the informal pissup at the Humane Fire Company on Friday night. Its all you can drink for $15 which includes a DJ and allegedly some serious rowdy fun.
Saturday's main event starts at 2P. See the Hash Schedule page for full info. If you can play a musical instrument or think you can - bring it along.

JUST LAYS THERE and I have postponed our 2/4 hash. Not enough time to get home for the game. I will probably do some drinking at Champions around 2P. Details will be posted for the boozin as well as the new date.

BLAWB LAWB LAWB LAWB has joined BETWEEN DICKS and LITTLE BITTY "I aint blowing no horn until football season is over" TITTY for the Bloody Valentines Day Hash on February 11th.

Keep recruiting. Our numbers are up but we always need new motivated wankers.

ONON to Pottsville!

Lehigh Valley 50th, Tumbling Bill

After a month of very mild weather, winter actually returned to Pennsylvania. Many people have said that the previous mild weather makes our current temps feel colder. That may be true but the weather on January 20th WAS cold.

Congratulations to the Lehigh Valley Hash on making their third attempt last for 50 trails. The pack gathered at a fish hatchery before busting brush (that's right, no pub crawl - not even a pub!) through some scenic and interesting terrain.

Several out of towners celebrated this momentus occasion including hashing legend, TUMBLING BILL whose mother hash is Kuala Lampur. This from the Columbia News Service, 3-14-06: In the United States, nary a city is without a hashing group. William “Tumbling Bill” Panton, although British, is the grandfather of American hashing. After 20 years in Kuala Lumpur as a soil scientist for the British Agricultural Department, Panton, who ran with the original Hash House Harriers club, started the United States’ second-oldest chapter in Washington in 1972. At 78, the retired Panton still hashes once or twice a week and travels around the world compiling a genealogy of the hash. To his knowledge there is a chapter in every large country except Chad and North Korea.

“That’s the way I waste my retirement,” Panton joked from his home in Chevy Chase, Md., “but it keeps me fit and it’s better than having Altzheimers"

Hanging on the wall above the bar was a neon light that a few months ago approached the status of work of art. Today it is almost obscene - it's "PRIDE OF PA" statement is enough to make some beer fans blood boil. F those big corporate wheeler dealers - at least the damned foreign owners kept #33 in Latrobe.

I just don't get why A-B chose to dismember this beer. Hopefully, people will choose not to drink this now that its made in New Jersey.

Today was a worthy road trip: good trail and people, fun, nice dive bar, a few hot bimbos and a living legend.
