Trash for Hockessin Hash #1280
So the slobbering pack gathered up at the soon to be fine restaurant of Sonora at the Dave Finney Inn in Ye’ Ole New Castle on the fine Mid-winter Afternoon of Saturday, February the 2nd 2019 AD for the hash in honor of Dead Ends birthday and the 9th anniversary of the State of Emergency.  And while there was still a bit of snow leftover from the flurry or two previous during that week, it wasn’t much compared to what we had on that fateful day 9 years prior.
Hashers I remember being present at some point: NecroFeelMeUp, Lost Penis, Toxic Shock, Skidmarks, Devil Woman, Groper, Up Piss Creek, Mary Fucking Poppins, Biatch, RaidR, Cousin It, Magic Carpet Ride, Wet Lay, Bunion Butt, Cause For Blindness, Butthead (Later) Wishboneher ( A Little more Later), PubeHeAteHer (Much Later), and many, many others.
Our hares of the day included of course, Dead End, who Sin Seriously started planning this thing last year, along with help from Up the Rear, and Smells Like Hash Spirit again, whose place we were at and who was busy getting the fine, fine over the top grub ready for us.
Dead End, who par for the course decided to take up the mantel as hare, GM and RA.  And decided to give us a break from paying the hash cash this time.
And so we hung out at the bar in the tavern for a while sipping some brews and some wine while Skidmarks played bartender for a while.
Dead End eventually wrangled us up for the chalk talk inside.  And it was explained not to expect a long trail, but one a bit longer than 100 yards this time.  There was a Turkey option, which turned out to be even too long for a few hashers who hung out a point A the whole time or decide to run some errands during the 20 something minutes that we would be on trail.
Some time around 3:30, after being pointed in a general direction we took off in search of marks.
On! On!
Trail went down to Delaware Avenue all the way down to the Delaware River.  A check was found at the pier.  And big surprise it turned out we weren’t going across to New Jersey.  True trail was found going to the right.  Or the other right.
On! On!
The marks took us into Battery Park for a bit, then looped around back into the neighborhood.  We went down one of the streets that took us back to Delaware Ave.  And so the FRB’s were stalled for a few moments as it appeared we ran out of marks.  But then Up Piss Creek found a few going back to point A.
On! On!
We found Dead End and a Beer Near mark in front of the restaurant.  Though most of us, except for a few Turkeys decided to take his suggestion of completing the trail first before having another beer.
On! On!
Trail went around a block or two, then we found the On! In! mark, and we made our way back through those painful last steps.  Though Toxic Shock and a few others decided to go around the block a few more times to get their needed dose of exercise in.
And so, the hashers straggled back in, some much later than others because of a variety of misunderstood explanations.
After Dead End concluded that as many hashers as possible were available to give him attention, down down beers of above average premium ale were poured and circle was opened.
A few awards and penalties were dished out.  Songs were sung.  Down Downs were done.  This particular RA not being a huge fan of a long circle, a few things were skipped.  Somehow one or two people ended up falling or getting blood on trail, though I’m pretty sure Bunion Butt had that sling on his shoulder when we began.
Smells Like Hash Spirit was awarded a fine bottle of Italian Liquor for her efforts.  And the rest of the hares also drank for a few things, including the birthday boy, Dead End.  Cause For Blindness accused herself of something and got to drink for the first time in a long time after doing that.  One or two other people drank for one or two other things.  And during circle we were joined by the late cumming, authohashing Butthead and Wishboneher who were too lazy to even go on this short-ass trail.  Before announcements were made and the hash went in peace.
After circle we enjoyed first some fine fine appetizers prepared for us.  Including steak tar-tar with quail eggs.  Some pickled shrimp.  Crab dip and a number of other dips, and a number of tasty fruits. Then came the main course of Beef Wellington, creamed spinach, sweet potatoes, and a few other things.  This to go with our beer, still being served to us by bar tender Skidmarks, all the way up until I think we left.  There were also some fine fine cakes prepared for us by Wetlay, and a number of other tasty treats.  Eventually we were joined by the late-cumming PubeHeAteHer who was busy coaching some swim meet, and a fine time was had.
Stay tuned for Hockessin Hash # 1281, this cumming Saturday.
On! On!
