Who's is this? That was the big question from last week, and the person will remain anonymous. SHTF? Will we ever know who's it was? This continued on for a little bit, but what a great weekend in hashing starting off with Friday night's Magic City Hash and onto the Anniston Hash in Oak Mountain. A few things that made this interesting was when the first few of us got to Oak Mountain. A park ranger came up to me and Cotton Eye'd Ho and asked if we were getting bothered by the chiggers. I blew it off right away, but CEH didn't. Gold Bond powder in the shoes, don't let anything that touches the ground get in your tent. (except for yourself) I love chiggers, when they actually get to you they are the most irritating itch ever. More than poison ivy, mosquitoes, flea bites, and bee stings. CEH told EVERYBODY who was camping about the chiggers and to put Gold Bond Powder in their shoes. We didn't have any powder of course and I said I was going to call somebody up to get some powder. Well time passed and I forgot. Man I wish I didn't forget, I was covered in chiggers. No not really.
The rest of the day went well. The trail wasn't too brutal, just very long. It did take over an hour for the frontrunners to get to the beer check and maybe 90 minutes for the chickens who took the short way. (They were walking) I'll move onto Tuesday though.
Going from work, I was wondering if there would be any highlight of the day during my 9 hours at the center. If I just heard a good joke, or caught somebody sleeping in the bathroom stall again, that would have sufficed. But there was nothing. Darn it, let's make the day exciting already! I went home and played Grand Theft Auto 4 for a little bit hoping I could complete the final mission. I learned something yesterday. I'm still a kid who throws temper tantrums when a game is kicking my ass. I was screaming at my failures on the game, left home pissed off and arrived at the hash pissed off. All because of Grand Theft Auto 4.
At the start, there was a good amount of the pack already at the start. Banana Grabber was all dressed up, dressed to not run, along with Bushwhacked. Backsliders NFN Jake and McBeaver pulled in. Sleazy Rider, Count Doncula, Betty Boobs, NFN Steve, visitor Just Sean, Dueling Banjos, and Creek Cheeks were there. I got to Billy's and wanted a beer, but I was scared to enter. Didn't want to run into a blast from the past meaning 2 hashers from over a year ago might still be employees there. I had Boop Job investigate for me… All clear! The start location was right outside of Billy's where Tina Gordon and Cotton Eye'd Ho put down the chalk talk and told us special instructions on finding the beer check. They did well on that part and beer check was successfully located. SHTF brought in the jello shots, some had chocolate.
As we were waiting on the 10 minutes NFN Jim runs in sporting a mesh t-shirt http://www.vulcanh3.com/hashflash/vulcan117/p1017927.html Well… I'm not sure if anybody gave him hell about it. I'm trying to figure out the logic and all I can think of is he wanted to wear a shirt with good ventilation.
Mountain Brook being the nice scenic area where I'm always wondering what these people do to live in Goliath houses like those. Beer check was in a small path that lead to a natural gas thing.. I really forgot what the word was.
On-On to the down-downs. Remember everybody. Hares need to plan for good down-down locations. That's the biggest limit for me on where my trails take place. When all else fails we can always drive to a down-down location. It does not have to be walking distance from the start. Not saying the hares didn't plan for it, but just FYI for our future hares.
The down-downs were in a yard of an apartment complex in around English Village.

Next Week's hash will be off Patton Chapel Rd in Hoover, check the website for more info. Don't forget…… Gold Bond Powder!
On-afters were at Café Ciao. 2 dollar drafts are always nice, plus listening to NFN Sam play is a great time.
I got home and decided to once again try to conquer the final mission. I will not say how long I stayed up, but darn it…. I got it! Highlight of my Wednesday morning!
On-On,

Mismanagement meeting next Tuesday from the start at 5:30. We will discuss a few items like haberdashery, Who's is this logo's, September campout (should we do it? just asking cuz people don't want to miss Alabama football... u know what? I'm going to call safety 3rds "safety 4ths".) There are tennis courts at the start so in case the meeting falls short I'm going to play tennis. Let's try to avoid that so think about a point of discussion, write it down or e-mail it to me now and we'll get something together. McBeaver is going to run the circle next week as well. Get ready! read those half-mind articles.
