| Hockessin Hash #1020: The Filthy Green Dress Run So, the slobbering pack gathered up at Paddy Wacks tavern on second and south, in the city of brotherly love, between 2 and 3pm on fine almost spring day of Saturday March the 15th for the annual Green Dress debacle. And though many of our active members were attending weddings and sadly funerals and such, a few of us managed to make it up there. Hashers that have ran with our group regularly that I remember being present include: Wickwacker, Butt-lite, Do Me on the Beach, Mary Fucking Poppins (who brought the good weather with him), Nucking Futz, Kum on Inn, Rug Burn, Just Tony, Just Maria, Just TJ, The International House of Virgins, Tits of Steel, Shop and Fuck, Wishboner, Cause for Blindness, Lickstick (who showed up really, really late again), and many, many others from The Philly Hash, The Ben Franklin Mob, The Lehigh Valley group, the Harrisburg Hersey, and a bunch of other kennels. Upon thus being informed that the event was to officially begin at 2pm, those of us who showed up that early were delighted for once to see Wickwacker there ready with our t-shirts, but equally dismayed to find out that the hash tab was not to be opened until after the run was over. And even though we paid fifty bucks to go to this thing we were on our own for the pre-lube. Thank the gods there was a special on Guinness at the bar that day. And to thus add insult to injury, we were required to sign a legal document, in which we were to agree to follow a few rules. That’s right rules! And not guidelines. Rule #1) No getting Naked ????@#!!!! Rule #2) No Glitter or Foam Spray For the Philly Chumps had lost their deposit at the last venue during their White Dress debacle do to that. Rule #3) No taking pictures. What goes on at the hash stays at the hash. In this case that only meant: No taking pictures of anybody breaking Rule #1. Well I guess that’s fair enough. And although I don’t remember seeing anybody totally naked, there were a few who were pretty close. A good look for some of them, but not all, as always. Anyway. the mob of about 120 people in their green dresses and costumes, eventually made it across the street for the chalk talk. Our hares of the day were the GM of Philly, Rear Engineer, and some other chap whose name I forgot. We were pointed in the general direction of the first mark. On! On! We ran down second street to Lombard I think. The FRB’s found the false trails pretty quickly, and we went up one of those streets named after a tree and then got back on South. Getting the attention of the usual onlookers, one of them asking if we had lost some kind of a bet. On! On! Trail went down some side streets and down into the area known as South Philly. You can easily tell when you’ve left center city and gone into South Philly, for that’s where all the trash on the ground appears. Too bad Dancing Fool wasn’t there that day, he would have had a great haul. On! On! We ran some other places, finding checks and falses. Until we eventually came to a park for a shot stop manned, no pun intended, by a Hold the Sausage and a 69th Amendment. We enjoyed some mint chocolate jello shots, along with some salty pretzel liquor and some other forty proof fruity tasting things. Your RA got to help pass out the cups, so that H4 can say they actually did something to help with this event other than bringing the t-shirts. Those of us who pre-lubed had a pretty good buzz going on by this point, which might be why I don’t remember this trail as well as others. On! On! The pack was off again following trail in the direction of Broad Street, we banged a right or a left and ran on the narrow streets cobble stone streets of Old City for a bit. On! On! Trail weaved into what is known in Philly as “The Gayborhood”, fitting for the occasion. We strode through the Jefferson Hospital making spectacles of ourselves, before breaking off to broad street and under William Penn atop City Hall. We then interrupted the skate rats at Love Park, before going underground to a parking garage for the first beer stop where we were treated to Tecate, the most Irish beer they had on them. Famished at this point we downed our beers rather quickly, before getting back on trail. On! On! I think I’m blacking out at this point. We somehow found our way to Arch street in Chinatown, and got confused at a check for a little while. Eventually trail went down to 6th and Chestnut where we strode past Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell before finding the second beer near mark in front of a building. Some people figured out that we needed to ride the elevator to get to the top of the building, where, Yeaaaaaahhhh!!! We had Yuengling’s waiting for us. But some of the people in the back of the pack missed out on that clue, and went directly back to the start. We enjoyed our brews for a long, long while, enjoying the scenery of the Delaware River from atop the high building we were on. After about an hour, it started to get cold. And we were back on trail again. On! On! Trail led us near Penn’s Landing and over to front street, before winding around the Society Hill neighborhood. Eventually we found Second Street and a whole lot of pre- St. Paddy’s day revelers, as we made our way to the bar. Finally the hash tab was open, and if you wanted, you could actually get a Guinness for the hash cash you paid. First time I remember that at a Philly GDR. The food was eventually brought out. The spread included roast beef sandwiches, baked Ziti, Caesar salad, and some Chicken fingers that went pretty fast. After the food was just about gone, and after a great deal of dancing and stripping commenced. We convinced the bar tender to lend us some cups and a few pitchers, so we could get the circle going. The type-A RA of the Ben Franklin Mob, Gay Matthews Lamb, ran a short and swift circle from a-top his perch of power on the balcony of the building. Though he, who I’ve seen run circle like a pro, was looking like an amateur this time perhaps do to much drinking. He quickly got the hares in and out, but then, I guess trying to take advantage of the five seconds that he had everybody’s attention, tried to bring the virgins, visitors, hash crashers and interrupters in all at once, to get it over with, before passing off the megaphone to whoever wanted to accuse whoever of whatever, and the usual chaos broke out, before the hash went in peace. Peace being another lively party. With more stripping and spanking going on, with some of our usual exhibitionists, like Wishboner. At some point Lick Stick finally appeared, bringing with her, her newly betrothed, from the Carolina hash. And so a good time was had by many. All and all it wasn’t the shittiest Green Dress Run I’ve ever been on, but it wasn’t quite worth the 50 dollar admission fee. Maybe 35 Stay tuned for Hockessin Hash # 1021 this Saturday. And since I won’t be making that one, here presents a golden opportunity for one of you to audition to be the next RA or take a crack at the hash trash. Remember, the AGM is only about 6 weeks away. On! On! MFP | |
