Mismanagement Meeting

Hey Wankers, the next CH3 MisManagement meeting will be on Wednesday May 20th at the Lion Head Pub

The big discussion items will refer to our Budget, the Memorial Day and 1600 Hash, Our Hash Calendar, POP,and WE NEED TO DISCUSS A NEW SHIRT and A NEW CH3 LOGO!!!

Happy Ass Grabber and I have been discussing the issue of a Chicago Area Hash dry-fit tank/t-shirt. Dry-fit shirts are more expensive than boring old cotton, which means a greater initial cost. CH3 and TH3 are inviting all area Hashes to include themselves on this shirt. We want this to have a simple design which easily and clearly identifies CHICAGO. After we decide on a simple design, we’ll add whatever Chicago Hash logo that would like to be represented, provided of course they help subsidize the cost.

The meeting agenda can be found on the CH3 Yahoo groups site, or I will forward you a copy if you have trouble finding it. Just ask.

TOTAL HASHERS – 32

There were a lot of things going against me actually running the hash last night. I’d only heard negative things about Are They Real trails. It looked like she would be taking the lead on telling our visiting hares Skunk Chaser and Pied Piper (was that guy even there last night?) how to get around this lovely city of ours. Well, expect she/they chose The Spot which happens to be off the Wilson Red Line stop. As someone who used to live off the Argyle stop, I know the Wilson area is one to avoid at all costs. I even got off the train at Sheridan and walked the extra four blocks to spare myself the possible mugging. I had a very, very good feeling that the beer stop would be at Snatchsquatch’s place and was I right. I saw the marks going from Broadway to just north of Belle Plaine to a little patio area. Alas, after seeing that Odor Eater would be joining us after 10 days in KansASS City, I would be a good little hasher and run the trail. Only I ran into some marks going south on Broadway just south of Montrose. I’m no FRB, but I was pretty sure those marks were waaay to close together. Especially with the gazelle aka Free VD on trail I figured we’d be at the B or the beer stop about 3 minutes after starting trail. Once I got to The Spot, I found all my fellow hashers upstairs. Though there were a lot of faces I didn’t recognize and one rather large belly that I did. It took Skunk Chaser about all of 5 seconds before he tried to feel me up. He’s no Hoosier Daddy and he’s a visitor so I paid him no attention. After mingling with everyone, seeing the awesome rego form for PoP that Mt. Schwiinga put together and putting my junk in MotorWhoreA’s trunk I joined everyone for chalk talk.

We were on out to the north and followed trail out of Uptown (thank God) and south to Wrigleyville. Eventually Salty Gash was at my side and we ran part of trail together. As we crossed over Irving Park and the Ann Sather garden (I think that’s where they grow the cinnamon rolls) Are They Real was there on her bike giving us short cut directions. Though I’m not too sure how much of a short cut it was since I didn’t think we were that far back and the pack was already where she told us to go. Along the way we saw some lovely Uptown gentlemen sitting on a bench. Once Salty and I passed them they asked why we slowed down. Well, for one, we actually ran here, we didn’t mosey on over to the bench to sit down and smoke and heckle passersby. We met up with everyone at the tit check near Wrigley Field. It’s always nice to run near landmarks, especially when we have visitors in town. After falling a bit behind since I walked near the “on two” call (my own fault), I ran back north and east to where the check actually led us. I saw Are They Real on her bike again and she gave me another short cut saying to go north on Halsted. Not knowing how much more trail was left, I said fuck it and decided to head to where I knew the beer was. Ahead of me on Halsted I spotted one of our virgins, Just Yassa (I’m pretty sure I spelled that wrong) and an almost virgin Just Valinda. I tried to catch up with them but they got to the beer stop before I did.

At the beer stop everyone was admiring the lovely artwork on the table that has been decorated by party goers at Casa de AssCapades and Casa de Snatchsquatch. I personally like the “O” that went from a letter in someone’s name to a boob to an eye to a baseball. What a bunch of Van Goghs we have in this group. After stalling and playing flip cup for 45 minutes and learning a new long song we finally headed to the B. We had to wait until it closed because they were staying open late especially for us since Are They Real has a close relationship with the owner of the coffee shop. Kahawa House Coffee Lounge was a great place. If you’re ever looking for anything other than a crack deal in Uptown, I say go there. We pretty much took over the entire place. Our soon-to-be on his own GM Erin Go Buff led circle. We initiated the virgins and made the visitors drink for being stupid enough to run this shitty trail. Some people noticed R Tard-E’s shiny shoes and made him drink from them. I only wish it was Crop Duster that noticed them. Once circle was over, we started doing what hashers do best – drinking. Erin Go Buff’s visitor T.J Hooker (who to me kinda looks like Cliff BangHer or Postage Tramp from Big Hump) starting singing some songs from Hawaii. Most hashers started leaving as TJ started his Alouette to Erin. Snatch started falling asleep and motioned to me to get the case of beer and head back to his place. I think the Original Hasher was on to me and tried to stop me, but I cannot be stopped. Once safely outside I was propositioned by a few bums for one beer. I thought about it for a second, but kept going. Eventually Snatch caught up with me and Schwiinga to let us into his place. Schwiinga went home, but MWA, EGB, TJ Hooker, Salty and Screwnicorn into a Dolphin (SID) made it by eventually. We watched some PG and SFW porn while finishing the last of the beer. During my wait for the Red Line I saw a guy hop on the Purple line tracks to pee over the edge. Way to keep it classy Chicago.

On On,
Fistful of Pricks

HASH TRASH

May 11, 2009

Chicago Hash #1598
VENUE: Kelly’s Pub- LIFA’s 1,000 Hash
HARES: LIFA, Erin GO Buff
VIRGINS: Just Pablo, Just Ashley, Just Laurel
VISITORS: Pussy in Boots and Just Norma New York
HASHERS: Just Christine, R-tard-E, Snatchsquatch, Poultry F*cker, Chicken Stiffer, Ice Princess, Just Steve, Horn-e, Fistful of Pricks, Hoosier Daddy, Mouthful of Meat, Hot Pants, Just Willow, Asscapades, Shiggy Packer/Half Fag, Lower Whackoff, Cheesus, Just Job, Ginger Snatch, Just Amy, Calvin Klein, Batteries No Included, Motor Whore-a

TOTAL HASHERS – 30

The hash was free today for those that showed up to run because LIFA was willing to cover everyone’s hash cash that showed to run his shitty trail. 30 hashers showed up for this memorable LIFA run. ERIN GO BUFF was his co-hare and he had to borrow $20 from me before the hash began to pay for the beer stop. That makes it a net loss for me before I even ran of $12!! Its funny to note that even though I put out that there was free parking under the EL next to the bar that most people choose to park on the street. GINGER SNATCH and JUST AMY two latecomers were the only ones to use the free parking that night and they were then able to catch up with the pack. The hares laid this one live and the beer stop was at the house of CHEESUS where JUST ASHLEY, a virgin, lay in wait to give the pack their beer. WE gave the hares 15 minutes cranium start and they really only needed ten-minutes. While they left we conducted a short chalk talk with our 2 virgins and at the correct time the hash was out.

I stayed behind to guard bags and point latecomers like the above-mentioned GINGER and really latecomers CALVIN and BATTERIES in the right direction on trial. Back at the bar MOTOR WHOR-a showed up and we watched the beginning of what would turn out to be an awesome BLACKHAWKS game before the pack returned to conduct circle.

When the pack did return our FRB was ICE PRINCESS followed in by GINGER SNATCH as our FBI. Kevin Kelly, the owner of the place, treated the pack to a case of Berghoff beer in the back donated to the hash. We also had pitchers of beer for down-downs, which were skillful brought to the circle by HALF FAG and MOTOR WHORE-A or beer wenches for the night. We said hello to JUST NORMA and PUSS IN BOOTS, in from NY, who said they never heard so many songs before in circle. We were kept informed of the Hawks score and knew it was 3-3 after the 2nd period. LIFA was brought in numerous times for his 1000th run and shitty trail but when one hare drank all hares drank so ERIN GO BUFF drank with him. CALVIN got angry at SNATCHSQUATCH because SNATCH accused him of screwing up a song so CALVIN made SNATCH drink but CALVIN had to drink with him because when one RA drink all RA’s drink. JUST CHRISTINE who survived Polish Constitution Day made it for her 2nd hash and even has paid for Memorial Day Hash.

Some reboots that made it out today included LOWER WHACKOFF, JUST AMY, GINGER SNATCH, HOT PANTS, and CHEESUS. BATTERIES birthday is this week and she turns 21 and can finally drink legally with the hash. Finally we did get around to JUST PABLO, JUST LAUREL, and JUST ASHLEY our virgins for the night. We welcomed them and they seemed pleased with the events that took place this night. MAKE sure you sign up for the Chicago Hash #1600!!! Eventually the circle ended and most ran inside to catch the end of the hawk’s game, which we now know, ended in a 7-5 score with the Hawks winning.

After the game, a circle was reconvened with the intention of naming JUST GENESIS, HALF FAG, SHIGGY PACKER, Shiggy Shagger (in Horn-e’s write up from red dress), so many names for one hasher. CH3 hashers for the last couple of weeks have been asking to rename him because people who didn’t even know him at a Moon Hash named him, and they wanted to be involved in the naming process. He also was named due to an incident that took place on a CH3 trail so we took a quick vote from those present like ICE PRINCESS, SALTY, MOTOR, SNATCH, ASSCAPADE, CHICKEN, FISTFUL of PRICKS, MOUTHFUL of MEAT, and HOOSIER DADDY, and the vote was unanimous in favor of renaming him. JUST GENESIS was also in favor of being renamed in the CH3 hash, why he was named at the moon hash in the first place, no one knows? Suggestions of Half Fag, velicaraptor, t-rex, sideways cocksucker were suggested but ultimately JUST GENESIS is now “SCREWUNICORN to a DOLPHIN,” Good luck with that one!

Next week the hash will be at “THE SPOT” and hared by visitors PIED PIPER and SKUNK CHASER from KC. The Spot is near the corner of Broadway and Montrose.

Chicago Hash #1597

VENUE: Red Apple
HARES: Cuma Slutra, 69-Cent Man, Virgin Banger
VIRGINS: Just Mike, Just Margaret, Just Christine, Just Nick, Just John
VISITORS: None

TOTAL HASHERS – 36

Today was the annual Polish Constitution Day hash. Milwaukee and Belmont were still recovering from the actually celebration of this event over the weekend when the CH3 came to this neighborhood. 69-CENT MAN, VIRGIN BANGER, and CUMA SLUTRA were our hares of record. The trail laid was a pretty familiar one if you have run this neighborhood before. We based by the major points of interest Churches, bars, houses, etc. and had to endure the markings of 69-Cent man to get to the on-in. FRB’s today were CHICKEN and LIFA but they were helped by HALF-FAG, ERIN GO BUFF, and HORN-E today thru most of the trail. Our DFL’s who didn’t see the 7 pm sharp start time were JUST DAVE and W’all BANGHER. Sounds like JUST DAVID will be leaving soon and make his way back to France. He will miss the best part of Chicago….SUMMMER! !!!

Their was nothing too memorable about trail except for the Drunk Guy in the beginning that BLOODY THIGHS stepped on or 69-CENT MAN trying to get the back of the pack to do the circle jerk portion of the trail or MOTOR WHORE-A and her Penis whistle or ASSCAPADE wearing the only none red shirt in the place or the Absence of Ruji or MOUNT SCHWIIIINGA announcing POP as June 18 or PETERBILT showing up or JUST KIP, STEVE, JOEL running the 2nd CH3 hash or SCHWIIIINGA running for more food when they were going to close the buffet or ICE PRINCESS showing up late and selling CUBS tickets for $5 or HORN-E cornering another virgin or did I say PETERBILT showing up, so actually NOTHING EVENTFUL happened at this hash, what a bummer!!

The hash shut down a little earlier than usual because the restaurant had to close by 10 pm so SNATCH, MOTOR, FISTY, POULTRY, ICE-ICE BABY and I went to relax for another beer before we went home to bed. Next week the hash returns to the lovely confines of Lincoln Park at Kelly’s Pub. ERIN go BUFF will be our hare with LIFA weather outlook looks good for running so I will see you there unless I see you at RED DRESS first!!

69 Cent Man

Environmentally-Friendly Public Transit ?
From the Lincoln Park/Lakeview “Green Zone”: Red Line to Belmont, Belmont #77 bus to Hamlin (just before Milwaukee) hoof it South on Hamlin to Milwaukee and turn left (SE) about 1/2 block to da bar.
From Wicker Park/Bucktown: Blue Line to Belmont. Cut 1/2 block South to Barry and either hoof it like six blocks West to Milwaukee or hop the aforementioned Belmont #77 bus to Hamlin, as described above, if you’re in a lazy kinda mood.

Driving ?
Hop into your hooptie and cruise to just SE of Belmont & Milwaukee. Parking is ludicrously plentiful in Avondale and you may even be able to score a space in the restaurant’s lot out back. As Milwaukee is a diagonal street, the lot is kinda oddly-shaped in a sorta trapezoidal way..

Tale of the Trail – Run to Remember 2009

Tale of Trail – Run to Remember 2009

So this morning the KGB, Happy Ass Grabber and I showed up
outside the Chicago Yacht Club and distributed the majority of a keg
of beer to the approximately 3300 participants of the Chicago Police
Departments memorial Run-To-Remember.

Seeing how this was our return to the event after not being
invited last year, I wasn’t surprised that the rest of the people
servicing the water station were a little apprehensive about the beer.
The woman who assumed command of the water stop was new to the event
and made it very clear that she was NOT a beer drinker. Nonetheless,
Happy and KG made good use of the empty water jugs laying around and
we built a formidable defense for the thirsty pack that would soon
assail us. Water Wench wasn’t pleased with our efforts as she felt we
were being far from discreet. …little did she know!

The FRB’s screamed past the 2.5K mark with no regard for refreshment;
Wankers! The next group merely chuckled at Happy’s announcement of:
“Ice cold BEER here!” then I’d guess it was the fiftieth runner to
pass by and exclaim: “hey! That really is BEER!” And turned around to
get himself a drink and the assault began. Happy and KG were passing
’em out faster than I could pour AND refill our jugs!

As we tried to re-load for the seemingly endless supply of thirsty
attackers, our Freshwater Sprite came over to stop us from shouting
“Free BEER!” and “Reward yourself for making it halfway with a nice
refreshing BEER! You’ve earned it!” some people just don’t know how to
be part of a team. Luckily, we were reaching the ‘walkers’ portion of
the race and needn’t get their attention so early, and they were much
more likely to stop and have a few beers and ask us why we weren’t
there last year. The Sergent and Captain looking types and their wives
finally shut down our Friendly Waterfront Nay-sayer when they told
her: “We love these guys! Their beverage is way better than that
tasteless stuff you’re peddling!” …the comment was made in jest,
bust the Hasher’s laugh was genuine!

After the racists/walkers finished passing by and enjoying our
refreshing BEER, the three of us selfless Hashers cleaned up the
discarded cups and stocked the remaining water jugs and said goodbye
to our faithful friend and provider of tasty, foamy, goodness. All
that was left to do was drink the remaining jugs of beer and head home
in the early afternoon!

…now does anyone have some aloe so I can relieve my sunburn? I look
like I grew up in Kentucky!

On-On!

Run to Remember 2009

Hey Wankers, I know it’s REALLY last minute, but I’m asking for volunteers to join me tomorrow morning, Saturday May 2nd outside the Chicago Yacht Club manning the water/beer stop for the Chicago Police Department Run to Remember.

We already seem to have a good track record with Chicago law enforcement after getting off the hook with an anthrax scare, but this is a great opportunity to maintain our good standing – I hope. I think I should clarify that there will be free beer for all the hashers – who volunteer. When was the las time the cops offered you beer?

The race starts at 8:00, so we’ll need to be there absolutely no later than that. I plan to get there by 7am to make sure the keg is well cared for. The water/beer stop will be outside the Harbor Master’s office at Monroe Harbor. Thats the East side of Lakeshore Drive at Monroe. All we need to do is stand around, look pretty, and distribute beverages.

If you’re interested in volunteering, please email me back at erin.go.buff@… or call my cell 808-349-8874

I’m trying to get 6 to 10 people to run this show. Please let me know as soon as possible, because if you fat lazy bastards don’t man-up, I’m gonna have to start asking civilians! Don’t forget, FREE BEER.

ON-ON!
