Above is our GM and co-hare Chicken Stuffer clowning around @ Holiday Club with Sugar Nipples and a local who only comes out when hashes are like two blocks from home (Nuttin’ B!tch).

Hash Trash:  1/13/08
Hares: Chicken Stiffer, Stupid man, Stab’em and Slab’em
Venue:  Holiday Club

The GM laid the trail live from the Holiday Club.  I planned the trail with STUPID MAN who was to be our sweeper today.  I warned him about the first check because the trail bent back on itself about 170 degrees.   I was told By JUST ROB and CALVIN that it was a good check and seemed to catch most of the pack unawares.  From here the trail ran back towards Wrigley and Graceland Cemetery since I was the hare I do not have many stories but I do know JUST I LEAN and JUST ROB II were complaining about some circle jerk that happened on trail.  They told me it really sucked to be out in front of people like LIFA but soon found themselves at the back of the pack?  JUST TYRONE was the one who burst through the crack house fence only to see it snap back on JUST ROB sorry but you got to keep your cranium up!!  I waited at the beer stop and soon the pack arrived with CALVIN and JUST ROB leading the pack in. 

VIRTUALLY HUNG, earlier in the day, had ripped of the doorknob to his back gate so many hashers got locked out of the beer stop until the proper keys arrived.  JUST MIKE and JUST SUSE seemed to enjoy the run today now would they enjoy the beer?  Everyone enjoyed the beer stop but HORN-E who seemed to have gotten lost once more, boy am I in for some poop.  It must have been that terrible trail I laid that even the virgins found?

We got back to the bar and CALVIN ran circle.  We said hello to long lost NUTTIN BITCH and SUGAR NIPPLES who have not hashed for about 1-year.   STAB’em and SLAB’em snuck gyros into the bar and we sympathize with STUPID MAN whose knee went out.  Hopefully he will be up and hashing in no time!!  JUST ALEX was our NRB and LIFA drank his usual good beer much like MILK MY YAK!!  PRINCESS LABIA showed up and was drinking Shirley temples today instead of beer.  She says she was saving her strength for the hash cruise in a couple of weeks.  BLOODY THIGHS purchased herself some new haberdashery, which looked great on her.  While SPECIAL HEAD GIVER came straight from Hawaii to run with us today.    After running the circle for a while hash pizza came and so we sang swing low.   The last seen leaving the bar was ITS TOO SOFT, JUST TYRONE, and JUST I LEAN. 

CHICKEN STIFFER

Hare(s): Stupid Man, Chicken Stiffer & Mystery Hare
Venue: Holiday Club - 4000 N. Sheridan 
 Hash Cash: $6 or €4.11 Euros - with the Dollar plummeting faster than Rex Grossman’s quarterback rating, the Hash is now accepting more stable currencies to reduce our overall forex exposure.

Come out for a trail that will undoubtedly show us ONCE AGAIN why Stupid Man has his hash name. Enough of stodgy Lincoln Park - time for a hash in trendy, slightly less full of yuppie shiggy and up-and-coming "North Lakeview" (what real estate agents call it, but it’s really more like Uptown). 1/2 price pizzas and beer pitchers!

Weather forecast Sunday is 90% chance of crappy with high of 36 and snow showers possible (36 I would bet more on rain tho) with crappiness continuing into next week but also getting colder - don’t you just LOVE January in Chicago? In essence, crappy weather, crappy trail and kickass bar - it just doesn’t get any better than this!
