Goo’s Batavia Birthday Hash

This was a day that separated the hard core hashers from the pussy wimp wanna be’s!  Cold, snowy, windy, the day after BH3’s East Aurora hash, and 30 miles down the 90.  I had scouted and mapped out a 4 miler but ended up cutting it short to around 3 due to the conditions.  All the cool kids were there – from Buffalo: Crash, Goo, Udder, Hoots, Mount Me, and FukkenFartinFir.  From Flour City: Mudman, Robin Wood, 3-PO, WGAS, Copulator, Cap’t Crunch, Diarrhea, Psyche I’m a Dyke, and Horse Jerker.  The snow was steady as I set the trail using red chalk and flour.  Marks seemed to be holding up ok but as the pack started off I realized several marks were now buried by a light fluffy covering of snow.   WGAS ran past a false into the cemetery but he blows through false trails at every trail.  Copulator hit the 1st backcheck at Ellicott but couldn’t read the mark on the ground.  Eventually everyone made it into the 2nd cemetery entrance and marks were more legible.  Trail eventually followed a fence line to a hole in the fence and out toward a park and the Dewitt Rec area.  Goo was leading a large pack of walkers who were spotted by the short cutting WGAS and the pack followed the walkers along the very active tracks looking for trail.  A train soon approached and Mudman rushed everyone off the tracks and trail was picked up leading to the 1st BN.  It was located at the same spot as the last BN at the previous Batavia Hash next to one of the 3 lakes.  I downed a quick Schmitt’s and set out to live hare the rest of the trail.  The cooler also had Genny for the FC hash (I figure they must like it since they have it at every hash) and Molson Light that I accidentally bought last time I hared. 

Trail crossed back over the tracks to Dewitt Rec and out towards Cedar St. slipping under a fence and over to a brownfield and into the shiggy.  The shiggy emptied onto Florence Ave to a check where I could screw around with footprints in the snow, which worked in confounding the pack for a bit.  Trail was eventually picked up again down Harvester to Main and my favorite; the Singapore Back Check leading to the tunnels in the industrial area and the 2nd BN.  We were joined by a rottweiler that kept cumming back looking for a beer.  There was plenty of graffiti on the walls including a phone number for Josh who apparently needed to be told he was gay.  Horse Jerker called and Josh answered so HJ told him he was gay.  It was on in from there to warm up and circle up.

Everyone changed out of their icy clothes and Mudman started the circle around the pool table.  After the hares, Goo was called back in for her birthday and all January birthdays had to crawl through the never ending Flour City Mill, getting their asses paddled.  Nice Ass Mom’s co-worker joined us for a down down and we were on to accusations which included:  hashing 2 days in a row, driving in from Boston and Toronto, short cutting, peeing on trail, technology on trail, r*cing, sitting in the circle, molting in the circle, being bald in the circle, r*ce gear, sliding in the playground, hash crash, technology in the circle, and latecummers.  A wacky drunk blonde that had to pee really bad joined us for Alouette and we were on out to O’Lacy’s for excellent Pub Food.  I think everyone made it over there for great beer and great cheap food.  Thanks to everyone for celebrating Goo’s birthday!  Looking forward to Psyche I’m a Dyke's farewell / birthday hash next week!
