Food for thought: 23rd April is also the birthday of England's most famous literary figure. He also died on 23rd April. I expect you can find out who he was but had he been hashing the day before his death as the cause of his death is widely held to be ...what?

RECENT RUNS; RUN #146 – 31st July, Masseube :
HARES: PISSOLES, assisted by ETHANOL
When the Hare reccied the trail a week earlier, Masseube’s idyllic, bucolic, surroundings were peaceful – not a car nor a human, nor even a hasher, in sight. Come Hash day – WOW!! – a cast of thousands emerged from the woodwork – but the vast majority were non-hashers, attending the annual fete and huge brocante, not to mention the fishing competitors now lining the banks of the GERS in what is normally the quietest woodland in the department! But a score of real GH3 hashers were made of sterner stuff and not to be put off by mere multitudes of the chattering classes, sedentary munchers, bargaining brocanters, delinquent dancers and, finally, comatose anglers.
Highlights
Good turnout: – 18, including a returnee and 2 visitors. The presence of 3 sprogs reduced the average age by several decades.
At the Circle, DOGGY dispensed wine from a very great height, much of which missed the target, GUMBOOT’s mouth, and soaked her t-shirt. What is it about GUMBOOT that encourages male HHHashers to destroy her HHHash t-shirts?
JAY was almost christened (see below) with beer but she demanded thé de mente.
3 REAL DOGS (the canine variety) were on trail: ♪♪.. One black one, one white one, & one with a bit of shite on .. ♪♪ … sniffing each other’s, and occasional hashers’, rear ends, especially DOGGY’s.
SPROUT introduced Joseph (1 y.o) to panachés before we could baptise him “PANACHE”. He was “over the limit” so (lest he be arrested for drink-walking) he had to be carried home.
Many thanks to SHEEPSHAGGER (R.A.), AIRHEAD (beer master) and TERMINATOR for barbecue duties.
Lowlights
NUFFIN’ ON was definitely not ON-ON when she was spotted SHOPPING during the run
SHEEPSHAGGER & FRUIT MACHINE quickly got lost. Were they SHOPPING too, or simply gossiping, thus missing trail-marks? But, sly as ever, they caught up easily by taking the kiddies’ short –cut route.
HEDGEHOCK drank us dry (before, during & after the run)
WELLINGTON pitched after the run, dressed for a cocktail party
SNOWY (née BATHTUB (née JAY), at christening, waved her arms like a windmill, sprinkling hhholy hhhash water, everywhere except on her hhhead !! Repeat baptism required?
DOGGY was reported sniffing dogs – (name & nature?)
On trail, neither BOOTSIE nor FELIX called “On-On” once. Later, they retired from the Circle to compete in the GH3 darts championship; result: missing Hash asset, viz: one dart …… er??
HHHEDGEHOCK drank us dry
DOGGY, the FRB, treated the whole trail as an Olympic training run – he was chief candidate for GH3’s HOLE OF SHAME, but PISSOLES forgot to bring the bog seat! A treat in store, DOGGY !! … At one stage, DOGGY complained he was “lost” and insisted that a rubbed-out false-trail mark still existed - well, the cunning hare had to slow him down somehow! … and that wouldn’t have mattered so much, until DOGGY told the rest of the pack that they were all lost too (They weren’t!)
DRUNKHOCK dredged us high!
Middling-( Piddling? ) lights
DOGGY kindly presented PISSOLES with a mug that pisses beer! A hole in the side of the mug, cunningly drilled exactly opposite a right-handed drinker – another wet t-shirt! Very punny! Had PISSOLES been a left-handed drinker, the mug’s hole would have pissed beer over DOGGY instead. Next time?
At the piss-stop, AIRHEAD & HEDGEHOCK scrumped and swallowed the entire stock of fruit from a nearby Mirabelle tree (was that because they had exhausted the beer supplies?)
FRIZZ had to leave the Circle in order to put little PANACHE into his cot (lucky PANACHE !)
Heavy-lights
TERMINATOR was a hero:- After several beers (grabbed before Hedgehock spotted them!), he still managed to shoulder 2 small harriettes (ENEMY & MADLY), for 30 mins., from piss-stop to the ON-IN.
