Trail Trash #98 - Flat and straight (unless you are Hugh)
posted Sep 14, 2020
A beautiful day to Hash in Rome. We mustered at, or near enough to, Armuchee (pronounced ar-MER-chee for you outta-towners) Baptist Church that anyone looking could find us. The crowd was formidable with a couple cars of Atlanta Hashers rolling in. We were pleased to welcome Slim Prickins, Aw Burnt Out, and a car load of ladies - Lick-O-La, Rama H. Poken and Double Suck. No Child showed up to as did long ago ChooChoo H3 hasher Cooter Hog. In fact so many hashers were there we sent our Bimbos to go get us a couple more cases of back up beer.
The Hares, Valcumrie and Lick & Felt Her were off at 3pm promising a shiggy level of 4.5! Joe had kids (and your mom) and we were off in 10 minutes down Little Texas Valley Road and across a wooden bridge above Armuchee Creek. The FRBs hit a Check Back 21 and as they sprinted past me the other way and on past mark 21. I began doubting our hares commitment to Sparkle Motion. After about 30 minutes of searching, and because Shitigation is a lawyer, Thirty Ragehole decided to go check the number and count again. I had already headed that way. Sure enough: 21. Ef it. I decided that I knew better and since Scenic Road was right there I may as well take it and go check the entrance to the Wildlife Management area. In the meantime, I am told, Double Suk discovered trail in the woods no where near the 21st mark and moments later, some other happy hounds also found trail along the creek having missed an early Beer Check. But not this guy. After Shitigation left me in his dust and I had found nothing in the Wildlife Area I turned right back into the triangle between 27N, Scenic and LTV Roads. This only to find the shiggy was Heifer nearly proof. It was at this point I was so concerned for my fellow pack members knowing Cooter Hog had even driven down from ChooChoo H3 I phoned a friend. TMI tells me they are on trail, somewhere. I decide to make for the creek but without a bush hog I was not getting there the way I was going. (Guess where I am laying trail next time wankers!) Anyway, as I neared 27N I phoned another friend and CBT tried to explain how she was drinking beer under a large road and eventually confirmed with 1st Cumunion it was in fact 27 and not GA Loop 1. Finally, I appeared from the shiggy to cross the creek and get a half a beer.
And then the pavement pounding started. After turning off Old Summerville I started muttering to myself that I had recently been to Armuchee Park for work - yes, my work, so lock and load. As the asphalt continued to pound my old bones and tendons I start muttering to myself how much I would like to be off this fucking pavement.
I suddenly spied In My Behind and Aw Burnt Out coming out of a farmers field near an enormous and oddly placed O/O [that's On/Over for those of you less knowledgeable than the rest]. I though there was hope, but no, just pavement. I then realized I was actually catching up to the walkers - finally - after ensuring I would at least no be DFL and leaving CBT and 1st Cumunion in by rear view (I probably need to be wary of that pair.) Anyway, finally to On In at, where else, Armuchee Park.
Circle was pretty fun and there was much singing and rejoicing. the Metro ATL miscreants brought out some fine verse and the R2H3 met the challenge. We busted NFN Matt from Michigan's cherry and I think we would have seen him again it it was not for Taint kidnapping him from his travels. The story being that Taint was eating lunch, thought the young guy looked cute so invited him to the hash. Good job there Doc. We also listened to Lick & Felt Her explain how he banged everyone's moms.
There was an on after at Riverdog Outpost, Rome, Ga as we so often do and Yes They Match had a few Birthday beers. Speaking of, it was also 1st Cumunion's b-day hash. Hashy Birthday to both of you.
And there you have it. There were plenty of down-downs with El Cumwiener FRBing, 1st Cumunion becoming Last Cumunion as DFL, we saw a ton of visitors and backsliders. Hugh drank for his phone a friend, and Thirty Ragehole got the beer-munity necklace and introduced the virgin Matt to the long arm.
So come out next month when you will hear YTM say, "I will punch the next one who swings low up in here!" or Shitigation ask, "How much beer does a guy gotta bring anyway?!"
Next trail is Oct 10 and hared by YTM. Hopefully it will be a 10/10. Watch for an announcement about some special activities at the end as there is yet another baby on the way!
