NYCH3 #13
HARES: Splat! and Just Holly
START: Essex Street Market at Essex & Delancey ON IN: Destination Bar, Ave A @ 13th St
SCRIBE: Just Kathy
Yep, I fell for the ‘you’re my best friend ever’ line that
Brittany mutters at the start of every NYCH3 on in to
obtain her scribe.
A hardy turnout for so such a frigid
and blustery day… all in all about 40 hashers braved the
fierce weather. According to weatherunderground.com
the temp at 3pm was about 17°F (which equates to a
‘feels like 5°F’) and wind gusts up to 10mph. Yet, a few
crazy hashers (named Bill and Devo) donned shorts for
the run.The trail had a chicken/eagle (aka Eskimo) split
which added about 2 miles to the established 3 for the
chickens. The hares proclaimed that all falses were
marked, which proved later to be a false statement
itself.
Complaints were bountiful on the Eagle trail –
running all the way east to Ave D (does that really
exist?!) and then up the East River in what felt like
30mph wind gusts. Speaking from a chicken that ran
in the back of the pack, the trail was well marked and a
pleasant digression from the recent runs over bridges
and through hellish tourist spots.
On In was at a cool
space in the East Village, Destination Bar, and hash
cash was discounted $5 from the normal $20 due to
hashers being on their own for food. Big mistake
because we all know we will always choose alcohol
over food with our extra $5 and we all know what
happens when our bellies are devoid of food. Poor Ed
Lunch looked horrified and didn’t know how to eat
enough for a week when no food was supplied at the
on in! There were plenty of down-downs to go around,
including:
· Hares – Splat and Just Holly (Hymn)
· Visitors & Virgins – PuppyLoveMachine from New Orleans and the 4 newbies (serenaded by PuppyLoveMachine with a NOLA song that has way too many verses for the NYCH3 to ever learn)
· Injured Hashers – Liz for getting a black eye from losing a fight with her bedroom dresser; and Roy who apparently hurt his manboob while falling during the Westchester Hash on Friday
· Steamer for trying to refill his ‘cup o’necklace’ with a glass of beer that was twice the size and then not knowing what to do with the extra (Bimbo)
· Returnees – Steamer (indefinitely returned), Spermatologist (who sadly moves to Seattle on Tuesday), Jumpin’ Jack Gash (headed back to Dubai for awhile) and Devo (moved back to NYC for now)
· YankIt for already completing his New Years resolution to be nice to others by picking up a hat someone left behind. (#1)
· Another down down for PuppyLoveMachine for chatting up two women civilians at the bar as soon as he entered the on in (Twenty Toes)
· AOTW – Ed Lunch for knocking FastAmericanDave out of the way on trail.
· Another down down for our hares who lied about ‘all falses being marked’ unless this trail was ‘on six’ rather than ‘on three’!
On Out.
