Rough Cut Rides to the Rescue! Hash Hero Does it Again! Not only did he provide a warm, dry place for 18 hashers to gather, with Easy Strider for the assist he laid a well-marked four-plus mile trail around Leesburg, with enough mud and rock to keep it amusing. Intermittent downpours made setting amusing for our hosts, until E.S. shook both fists at the firmament and shouted, "Is this the best you've got?!" Allegedly, they were subject to nothing worse than drizzles after that. More news from the set: they had to stop at a grocery store and pick up additional flour. Imagine those two showing up in your baking goods aisle, soaking wet and squeaking clay across the floor.

Seven runners essayed the course, six forwards and one backward (on purpose), and they mostly seem to have checked almost every false trail, so that Jeffy Lube claimed almost seven miles on his GPS. Chip Off the Old Dick, exploring the mud with his usual commitment, wound up far behind the others, re-checking the falses and returning late, covered with glitter. He claims
he doesn't know where that came from, either. One colleague guessed mica in the rocks; another guessed strip clubs just across the state line.

Over on the walkers' side, they mostly toured Leesburg, with the Mufti and Ole Fud covering over three miles, including several circuits of the train store, and barely beating the runners back. No one got too terribly wet, though a steady drizzle ensured enthusiasm for dry socks back at the On In. There was also considerable enthusiasm for the pizza, the Oklahoma/Oklahoma game and the Heineken.
The Mufti was of course enthusiastic over his roll call, congratulating our host on his heroics as well as his 898th run, and the former Drill Me, Fill Me, previously known as Open Wide and Swallow, on his 300th run with its concomitant new name, which is either Dr. Jaws or Jawbreaker, depending on who was shouting the loudest. Mufti also asked, again and again, "Is anyone desperate to host next week?" Receiving a reverberant silence in response, he invited everyone to his and BC3's place for brunch. That's a
NOON START on Saturday.
