Hash Trash
The semi-regular diatribe and record of the
Montreal Hash House Harriers
Volume 2, Issue 1, Run 31, January 26, 1997
Old Montreal
Well! Here I go again.... As usual I opened my mouth and volunteered to write the Hash
Trash!
It was a great day to run. The perfect day I might add... except for the ice all over the
place! Anyway, Yogi and Lucifer did not get one bit frightened by this weather and
proceeded to set the trail. They had great ideas but a few problems came their way. The
green dye used in a Windex bottle faded a lot during the run and it was difficult to find
the trail. At one point, they ran out of liquid and decided to refill from the gutter! A
man watching this, came out of his apartment and offered the two hares to come inside and
get some tap water saying "You don't want to drink the water in the gutter! It will
kill you!
A lot of snow balls were flying all over the place and Yogi didn't have great balance that
day. At the end of the run, Yogi had to sit on ice cubes during several long winded jokes.
Later, the bartender asked Yogi if he wanted more ice. The bartender didn't know what the
ice was for. But he surely picked the wrong guy to ask that question.
The draft was excellent but as the Grand Master put it "More expensive". After a
few calculations, it was determined that it was worth the price!
A few more jokes were said and I should have had my pen with me (at that point I didn't
know that I was going to write the Hash Trash) because the Frenchman (sorry, I don't know
his name) told a real good joke. I guess I'll have to ask him to tell it again for the
missing Hashers.
A word of wisdom to finish this Hash Trash....
"If you're anxious, depressed and find yourself down on your luck, don't forget
you're fellow hashers". Everyone in the Montreal HHH is always ready to meet for a
drink at Moe's. Give one a call. And if no one is available, there are always pictures of
Hashers on the far corner of the bar where you can drink your beer without feeling too
lonesome. If you're there long enough, on might show up!
The next Hash run is in Chateauguay and will be set by Red Dog, and sorry to say, at this
point in time, I don't know who is the other Hare. Fun should be had by all. (Other hares
will be Bill Cameron and Craig Miller. ed. note)
