Sooooo… he doesn’t know what heat lightning is? No I didn't. I decided that I would do some research. OK very interesting, I need to go to bed now. On-On to the trashy telling of the 155th running.
So there I was, knee deep in a… Oops, wrong week.
There I was at work, trying to sneak out early. I've finally determined at work that the phrase I hate the most is "Just the man I've been looking for!" I'm trying to think of a good comeback, so I'll never hear it again. Might be along the lines of, "you know you should really stop looking for men" So yeah, trying to get out 15 minutes early ended up leaving work 20 minutes late. It's always those last minute items that come up are the most time consuming. When the last 3 hours have been slow.
After I let off a smoke grenade and snuck out, I headed over to Wal-Mart for a few items. Get ready for mismanagement! Problem there was that I believe people are intimidated by the rain. Rightfully so I guess, rain makes clothing damp. And people here like to slam on the breaks when there is a small puddle in the road or even a plastic bag.
Driving in the rain, leaving late from work still got me to the start before most of the crowd. Banana Grabber was there first working on some artwork. NFN Justin walked up to us from all the way across the parking lot. Why didn't he drive?
I later on received a phone call from Cotton Eye Ho on how to get to the start location. I remembered that I said if you call me for directions. I will kick your ass. I couldn't make the threat over the phone because she would have ended up in Nashville.
The hash was a pick-up hash. I noticed that having a wet ground sucks, because while I was trying to get B-check on the ground for flour talk. The damn check mark kept disappearing. The on-ons stuck alright though. But the 3 lines disappeared. It seems that my sanity started to disappear as well.
Great stuff already. So that rain died down at least and we had a nice pack going. Couldn't do anything about the humididty though. So myself being injured wanted to guarantee a beercheck. The GM position is awesome because you can bend traditions all you want and deny anyone else from changing traditions. Interested anyone? Trail left the bank parking lot, up the big ass hill and into the Embassy Suites area, straight into a central shiggy location where the beer check was. A lot of commotion was going on and there was a lot of focus onto where the trail went. The curve on this pick-up hash was that the first hare didn't get snared and there was a little confusion on who would actually take the trail after the initial hare.
A lot went on during the trail after I departed from the rest of the pack. I hate not being able to run. So myself and Shit Hits the Fan came back to the parking lot. We ran across Lydia who's dog has grown so big that she can't control it anymore. Later on NFN Dennis came by follwed by Plug N Grub who got tired of waiting on the pack so he took off. NFN Dennis and SHTF decided to get very exciting by talking about their military backgrounds. I was so excited that I took out a tennis racquet and started to bounce a tennis ball in the air. Beer in one hand, racquet in the other.
The pack finally showed up, I tried to take down the notes on who did what, but most of it was to no avail. Since I still had some arguments about it in the circle.
