Okay, unlike a typical hash. There was no running for the pack attending. It was strictly armchair hashing. We set up a beer check at the base of heartbreak hill, thus to better watch the agony of those running the marathon. We ate. We drank. We watched. We cheered.
As the weather was good, and the hangovers lifted, there were at least 30 or 40 hashers present. I will not bore you with the names of those who were there EXCEPT to note the reappearance of some serious backsliders, or those who suddenly emerged after being AWOL all weekend.
First of all, Little Bear and Mud Muffin have a very good excuse for backsliding. They brought the new addition to their hash family … who was promptly named Little Little Bear (it will have to do until the tyke does something really stupid). Then Hard Lickher appeared … she is working on a similar excuse (she won't be drinking for a whole 9 months … talk about drying out). So, okay, I guess those guys have a valid reason for backsliding.
I Left My Heteros*xuality In San Francisco arrived to help cheer. He hasn't hashed in several months.
Hong Kong Spewy emerged after having the flu all weekend (and yes, she is leaving town for NYC!).
Swamp Thang appeared, she makes an annual appearance at the Marathon. Then long backsliding hashers, Call Girl and Yo Yo, turned up. Visiting Watergate (our former grand mattress from gosh, 10 years ago or so??) went over to talk with them. I saw many hashers run by … most but not all of them took a beer (I don't think Jizz got any beer, but he went by so fast, it's possible no one was able to get a beer to him??).
Viagra (with others?) had thoughtfully written down all the names in the road (there were a lot of them). I stupidly did not copy them. Here are some visiting hashers that either stopped or ran by: Mr. Blister, Captain Cramp (Boise H3, must have run by, since they were not at any of the weekend hash events, a smart move on their part??). Cavity Search (Tucson H3). General's Animal from some hash somewhere. Missing Rubber from DC. Gas Passer from San Francisco. Cherry Poppins (Boston H3) ran by … she hasn't hashed in around 6 months. You're Not My Daddy was running as well. Cockpit/HTH ran by, accompanied by Ching Ching. One Drunk ran it as a training run. Possibly these folks ran by as well: Son of Sh*t, Chamber Pot, Pubic Perm. Fucking Stupid Jr. on a bike, I think. Shit Eating Grin (ditto).
