Last time I was at this bar was for a beer stop and we took over the bar for the 20 minutes we were there. Today was no different!!! The hares CROP DUSTER and JUST JULIA cleared the hash with the owner and we had $6 pitchers and they even reserved an area of the bar for us to use, Nice Job!!! WRAPPER SNATCHER and PORECELAIN GOD played the part of bag watchers in the bar because PORCELAIN currently has a lame foot and WRAPPER needed to play nurse to him. Tonight the hash saw another 30+ hashers show up and even a few from the bungle in the jungle weekend showed. JUST JULIA and CROP gave us a chalk talk and we were off!! The trail was awesome tonight a quote from JUST AMANDA. The hares lead us thru the scenic areas of downtown and then had a beer stop on the Chicago River. The first part of the trail ran north and UPLOADER, CHIP-N-DALE, and HORN-E seemed to be the leaders that I followed. The trail crossed the Chicago River and ran under Lower Whacker. Most of the pack seemed to be a little confused here because most did not cross the river but ran east along the river with HORN-E. JUST JOHN and I came up from lower Whacker and were on Michigan Avenue. The trail here ran behind a building and then back west. The hares set a check just east of Michigan and Randolph that most of the pack missed, truthfully the pack followed JUST JOHN and I thinking we were on and JUST NICK even called on when he saw a mark but he wasn’t because it was after a check. The pack really got messed up and people like BONER MALFUNCTION, JUST KATIE and others gave up because of the confusion and went back to the bar. It is unfortunate because the rest of the trail ran thru Millennium Park and over the winding bridge. JUST JOHN and I went back to the check and found true trail going SW and found the arrows pointing into the park. The hares did a great job sweeping, I know because on Tuesday before movie night in Grant Park I checked the trail and it was marked well. Just John and I soon heard HORN-E blowing in the park and he and I found trail going west on Adams and then thru the Finical district. Here it crossed the river again by Union Station and even ran thru the train station. JUST JOHN almost caught an AMTRAK to St. Louis this night or so he claims. The trail ran back over the river and the beer stop was in a park next to the river. It was fun seeing the back half of the pack cross the river twice before the made it to the beer stop. JUST SHAINA, JUST AMANDA, ITS TOO SOFT, MAGNETIC MUFF, MUDSUCKER, HORN-E, UPLOADER, 69-cent MAN should be commended for locating true trail tonight. We had BUD and BUD light at the stop and waited for the other half of the pack that never showed.
Back at the BAR JUST NICK, JUST ASHLEY, JUST CARLY and others were drinking and watching Mike Phelps win his gold medals. We got back and started the circle. Our FRB’s were HORN-E and I. Our DFL’s were those that never made it to the beer stop. JUST SHAINA and Beer mistress JUST AMANDA had a down down for talking about Mr. Phelps body in the circle. BONER and CHIP were our visitors for the day. JUST ASHLEY drank for finally drinking legally in our circle because last time she came and drank she was only 20 and with her mom, JUST LORI. Our virgins JUST CARLY and JUST RANKIN had a great time and we now they shall return. Our NRB’s were SNATCHSQUATCH, HOOSIER DADDY, JUST I LEAN, CUMS ON I LEAN, WRAPPER SNATCHER, and PORCELAIN GOD. ITS TOO SOFT was our rep from the Bungle in the Jungle party along with BONER. The circle was soon closed but we did reopen it to name some people. JUST JOHN is now “FREE VD”�, JUST JULIA is now “GINGER SNATCH”, and JUST AMANDA is now “POULTRY FUCKER” go figure.
The next day 10 hashers POULTRY F******, JUST I LEAN, JUST BILL, CUMS on I LEAN, SUPER STUF’HER, MOUTHFUL, CHICKEN STIFFER, ANAL ASSAULT, and W’ALL BANGHER, and JUST BELLA watcher “A TOUCH OF EVIL”� at movies in the park!!!

This is the second time the CHICAGO HASH has used this venue. The last time was POP in “2005”, and just like that day the skies opened up upon us and the wrath of MOTHER NATURE was taken out upon the trial and hashers. The last time at POP I can remember HAPPY ASS GRABBER as a neophyte hasher and SUGAR NIPPLES dancing in the lightening and rain on Marlins patio. If you do not believe me look at the pictures.

The Chicago hash had invaded SECOND CITY TERRITORY again and storm clouds were waiting for us!!! HUNKA and FUCKKO were blessed by CALVIN KLEIN our RA and they were off setting trail. GOLDEN EAGLE gave the chalk talk and explained to our virgins and regular Chicago hashers what the marks meant and we did a quick Father Abraham and were off. Well Some of us were off. THE PORCELAIN GOD, DICKIN CIDER, and I stayed behind the first two because of injuries the last because I was the smart one. MILK MY YAK and BARKS ON ALL FOURS went out and soon fifteen minutes later they were back. The Skies out west were black and rain was immient. We enjoyed steaks and burgers at the bar while those hashers tried to navigate the trail. The rains soon hit and it was “BIG FAT RAIN” as Forest Gump might say and still the hashers stayed out there. WE came to find out later that The two GM’s HORN-E and HAPPY were curled up together in a fetal position on someones porch trying to protect themselves from Mother Natures fury. CALVIN’s quote of the night was that the Sky was GREEN??? HAPPY said, “ You could actually feel the air pressure change rapidly and his ears even popped!!” The five of us back in the bar talked about sending out a search party but decided to keep eating our food. The First one back was ROTTEN WHORE, she said “ I have never run so fast back and it wasn’t for beer!!” Slowly the pack came back after tornado Sirens sounded in the suburb of Lyons!! MUDSUCKER wished he had eyeglass wipers so he could find his way home. HORN-E and even his horn was shaking in fear. All made it back safely and we watched the weather move in on Wrigley Field. The storm did pass and we did make it back out onto the patio for a circle. Remember hashers if you hear someone chosing MARLINS bar in the future for a hash be careful of what may happen. TWO HAHSES and TWO WRATH of GOD type thunderstorms is not a good sign!!!

ON ON

HASH TRASH
July 28, 2008 Bar Atlantic 5200 N. Lincoln

HARES: R-tard-E, Just I Lean
VIRGINS: Just Mary, Just Tina, Just Rodney
VISITORS: Flag No Pole “Aloha Hash”, Silver Spooge ( EveryDay is Wednesday DC
HASHERS: Chicken Stiffer, Corn Star, Just Mark, Just Shaina, Snatchsquatch, Just Lori, Just Joan, Sir Poops A Lot, More Tail, Just Amanda, Just John, Magnetic Muff, Virtually Hung, Super Stuf’her, Mouthful of Meat, Just Eileen, Just Brad, Just Jeff, Its Too Soft, Lower Whackoff, Horn-E, Just I Lean, Cums On I Lean, I Like Dick, Just Katy

TOTAL HASHERS= 32

The hash ran out of Bar Atlantic in the 5200 N. Block of Lincoln Ave. Again our translator of R-TARD-ESE, JUST I LEAN, did an interpretation of the chalk talk and then we were off!!! The pack was lead by VIRTUALLY HUNG and ran thru the alley behind the bar north. We came to a split at Foster and I caught trail thru the gangway of two buildings. JUST JOHN now was near the front with VIRTUALLY HUNG and I and we came to a check. I went east across Lincoln and found three marks that went between what looked to be some dilapidated public housing buildings, but no one followed.

It turned out that VIRTUALLY HUNG found trail west which was a major short cut but trail is trail so the pack followed him. MOUTHFUL OF MEAT said she heard and saw my whistle but decided to go with the pack. I followed trail and it wound around the cemetery on Western and than cut west on Bryn Mawr. I found a false trail that ended in man’s backyard and he was back there with a friend and a cooler of beer. I asked for a Cerveza and he obliged me.

I continued on and soon realized that the pack had to be in front of me and I was right when I saw true trail marks on most of the marks. I guess I ran an extra 1-1.5 mile tonight but that was all right. I ran through the River Park and saw BN and turned a corner the whole pack was cheering me on to the finish, ok maybe I am exaggerating but they were happy to see me I thought? I LIKE DICK had a cold Lite Beer for me so I was on my second beer stop!!!

We got to the bar in good shape and kicked a few bag playing people out of the backroom and started circle. SNATCHSQUATCH was the RA for today and he soon had the HARES in the circle and throughout the night we hear when one I LEAN drinks or Eileen’s drink. Man I guess she hates her name now!!!

We said Hello to FLAG NO POLE and SILVER SPOOGE along with SIR POOPS A LOT our visitors from parts unknown. Our Virgins JUST TINA, JUST RODNEY, and JUST MARY were shown how to do a proper down down by MORE TAIL, JUST EILEEN, and I LIKE DICK. VIRTUALLY HUNG even took a nap in the circle??

WE said hello to old friends that have been MIA LOWER WHACKOFF, MORE TAIL, SIR POOPS, JUST LORI, and MOUTHFUL OF MEAT!! CHICKEN was the DFL and VIRTUALLY HUNG was our FRB!!! SNATCHSQUATCH soon closed the circle and most people watched the CUBS finally beat the Brewers 6-4 Yeah CUBS!!!! Hope to see you next week!!!

HASH TRASH
July 26, 2008 @ THE PARTY CENTRAL SKYDECK 933 W. Wolfram

HARES: Its Too Soft & Super Stuf’her
VIRGINS: Just Mark,
VISITORS: I Pee Freely (CAIRO, EGYPT)
HASHERS: Batteries not Included, Just I LEAN, LIFA, THE GREAT LOCHNESS COCKSTER, 2 Tickets too a Pair of Thighs, Magnetic Muff, R They Real, Salty Gash, Just Genesis, PackHer Ass, R-Tard-E, Just Chris, Calvin Klein, Odor Eater, Snathcsquatch, Just Rob, Cums On I Lean, Chicken Stiffer, Just Tony, Just Carrie

TOTAL HASHERS= 24

The Second installment of the CHICAGO HASH on the 4th SATURDAY of the Month saw 24 hashers meander over to Party Central. Some showed up at 2 pm and didn’t leave until 2 am on Sunday. We saw one new VIRGIN JUST MARK and a visitor all the way from EGPYT showed up, I Wanna PEE and he was a SCOTSMAN to boot. I was happy to see The COCKSTER here today because when ONE SCOT DRINKS all SCOTS DRINK!!! THE LESSON ALL HARES SHOULD LEARN TODAY IS NEVER UNDER AND CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU LAY TRAIL BY BICYCLE!!!!! ENOUGH SAID!!! [Editorial comment, except when your co-hare shows up like an hour before the hash!]

The pack was small at first but grew after they heard the keg had arrived the trail itself was uneventful we wandered around Wrigley Ville and Lakeview thru alleys and gangways. Usually Lifa was in the lead but a times 2 Tickets too a Pair Thighs was seen near the front. Even Our Visitor took a turn at the front of the pack. The trail was long and miserable with 90-degree heat and a SUPER STUF’her trail of 6-miles the GM was tired and ORNEREY to say the least but CALVIN KLEIN gave the hares numerous down-downs so I was happy in the end.

The Pack made it back in one piece and the circle was conducted. The hashers were allowed to sit in circle today due to the tiredness of the GM and the fact this is the JV hash. The first three down-downs went to the hares so everyone was happy. The FRB was 2 TIKS and our DFL was R-TARD-E. Since we had a keg the circle went for 1-hour and SUPER STUF’her was cooking Chicken and Bacon-wrapped sirloin steak.

Eventually the circle did close and food was served and it was good and there was much rejoicing!!! LIFA soon left to meet up with his cousin for Lake Michigan Fireworks and he got a bullhorn full of crap from us as he waited on the el-platform. Some people left for the UNDERWATER PEOPLE show at the Taste of Lincoln and others stayed back to play FLIPPY CUP. R THEY REAL played and by the end of the night she thought she was at the LA hash! Keg was killed early (always the sign of a good time and the cutting crew got some more cases from the corner liquor store for the long haul. Overall the SATURDAY HASH has been a great success and we will do it again on AUGUST 23, 2008.

NEXT MOVIE NIGHT IS 7/29/08 GRANT PARK BLUES BROTHERS!

NEXT SATURDAY HASH 8/23/08 NEAR TASTE OF GREEK TOWN!!!!

Chicago JV Hash #2 – 7.26.08 @ Party Central SkyDeck

July 22, 2008 5:07 am / itstoosoft

Hare(s): Super Stuff’Her, Batteries Not Included and It’s Too Soft
Venue: The SkyDeck @ Party Central – 933 W. Wolfram, Rooftop
Hash Cash: Still only a mere $8 gets you trail, more beer than you can shake a stick at, and BBQ party at the on-in. Hells bells for that price you’re lucky to get 1-1/2 beers in the Lincoln Park Green Zone on a Saturday…

Even though it’s called a JV Hash it’s being run by another one of the CH3 Varsity team Mismanagement co-captains, It’s Too Soft along with utility infielder, Super Stuff’Her. Here’s a chance to party in the heart of the Lincoln Park Green Zone on a beautiful Saturday afternoon – weather forecast is 85 and Sunny.

A-A from the Party Central Skydeck where we’ll have a keg and hash cash will include BBQ tailgate party after the circle. For those interested after the hash we’ll be heading over to the 24th Annual Taste of Lincoln Ave which is arguably Chicago’s premier Summer street festival, just two blocks straight South from Party Central.

Trail will run by the fest entrance so those wanting to can get hand stamps and pay the $7 early bird admission rather than the $10 prime time after 4pm cost. Headliner bands include:

6:00 pm – Underwater People
8:00 pm – Hello Dave

http://www.chicagoevents.com/event.cfm?eid=117

And as a further bonus if we don’t kill the keg at the hash, there will be a post-festival party along with friends from the fest back at Party Central until we do kill it.

The CHICAGO HASH will be running on the last Saturday of each month in the SUMMER (except August which is a week earlier due to the proximity to Labor Day Hash on Sunday). Many CH3 hashers have said they can not run on Monday nights when we switched so here is your chance to stretch those legs on the weekend.

Environmentally-Friendly Public Transit ?
From Lincoln Park/Lakeview: Red Line to Fullerton, Brown Line to the recently re-opened Diversey stop (woo-hoo!!!), hoof it 1/2 block North up Sheffield and right (East) into the alley before Wolfram. Cross under the L tracks and into the first driveway to your left after the big fenced parking lot next to the tracks. Go up the back porch stairs to the Skydeck.
From Wicker Park/Bucktown: Blue Line to Logan Square. Hoof it a couplea blocks North to Diversey and take the Diversey #76 bus East to Sheffield.

Driving ?
Hop into your hooptie and cruise to Diversey & Sheffield. Side streets are resident zone permit after 6pm so best bet is Sheffield South of Diversey or Diversey West of Sheffield. Many meters in this ’hood are 9pm or Sunday check your meter before parking your precious sled.

Hash Trash
July 21, 2008, 7pm Weather Mark Tavern
HARES: Hoosier Daddy, Too Much Head
VIRGINS: Just Nick, Just Kyle, Just Terene
VISITORS: Corn Star (Tampa) but willing to learn the Chicago Way
HASHERS: Cyber Bunny Pimp, R-Tard-E, Horn-e, Snatchsquatch, Chicken Stiffer, Mudsucker, Milk-My-Yak, Just Katy, Just Bill, Just I Lean, Cums On I Lean, Magnetic Muff, Just Brad, The Enema Canal, Just Eileen, Its Too Soft, Just Julia, International Virgin
TOTAL HASHERS – 24
The Hash braved the extremely bad elements tonight and ran in very cold 75-degree weather. Oh MY GOSH I almost had to wear my sweatpants tonight!!! The pack used the now familiar bar called he WEATHER MARK TAVERN as its starting point. Our hares for the evening were HOOSIER DADDY and TOO MUCH HEAD. They had some ideas for their trail and seemed to execute them well with a beer stop near the CHINATOWN area. Circle was completed and our virgins and newbie’s listened well because none got lost on trail like HORN-E usually does. The trail ran south and finally west and CHICKEN STIFFER seemed to be the FRB for the first half of the trail. JUST I LEAN caught him up and together they found a check just west of CHINATOWN on 26th street? Here the pack followed the CHICKEN under the Dan Ryan and ran through the alleys of numerous Chinese kitchens and restaurants, my oh my were the smells pleasant. The hares decided to be funny and doubled back.
THE ENEMA CANAL and JUST KYLE were now at the front of the pack with the CHICKEN, but only for a moment. Quickly ENEMA and CHICKEN were lost on trail and needed help from some short cutters named R-TARD-E and SNATCHSQUATCH they gave us the correct coordinates and were soon of again in search of beer.
We found that the hares seemed to help the DSL’s namely MILK-My-Yak, MudSucker, and International Virgin because the miraculously got to the front of the pack? CORN STAR also was galloping along at a good pace going further west of Chinatown.
INTERNATIONAL VIRGIN was running with her buddy JUST TERENE who she brought to the hash and we are always grateful if you bring your friends to the hash. The trail turned north and I ran with JUST NICK across a bridge but it seemed we were off trail but we say JUST KYLE running across a railroad bridge over the canal so we took the next right and found the BEER STOP. JUST I LEAN was nice enough to pull the cooler off the tracks and he even threw the GM a beer!!! The rest of the pack came in with MAGNETIC MOUTH, ITS TOO SOFT and his camera, and JUST KATY. Yes we hashed from this bar a month ago but never crossed any trail from the previous time?? We sat at the beer stop for about 15 minutes and watcher AMTRAK park their trains by moving them pack and forth over the tracks, it was sorta annoying.
We finally finished the beer and proceeded to walk or jog back to the bar. Here many hashers enjoyed the $6 burger and pint special that the place offered. The Enema Canal got the circle going and we began to hand out punishment or down-downs. FRB was JUST KYLE our DFL was CUMS ON I LEAN, and or NRB was JUST JULIA. We greeted our virgins JUST TERENE, JUST KYLE, and JUST NICK, and said hello to a new transplant CORN STAR (TAMPA). The ENEMA CANAL kept the circle going and finally stopped it with the traditional Swing LOW!!!
