52 Division

September 8, 2007

The most recent edition of Sex Toy's annual lingerie run had a distinct international feel. Not only was the film festival in town but the hash was attended by 4 Yankees and 1 Red Coat. Representing the colonies were DrFuqsALot and Mount Me in the Mud (Buffalo), Cherry Trooper (Flour City), and Hypnotits (Pittsburgh). Representing Mother England was Dr. Doolittle (London). There was also someone whose name may or may not have been Vanala who may or may not have been from Upper Canada... and some guy in a Nacho Libre mask.

As has become custom, we gathered at 52 Division and spent half an hour gawking at tourists while Sex Toy and Ra went off in search of a place to stash our bags.

After introductions and a few brief words from the hare, the pack wandered off in the general direction of Baskin Robbins. The trail wandered up through the Grange, around Queens Park and into Yorkville where the hashers managed to upstage the silver screen's biggest stars. Outside the Cumberland Theatre excited fans had gathered, eagerly awaiting the appearance of Sydney James in town with the rest of the gang to promote the latest Carry On flick. Around the corner at the Four Seasons, a massive crowd overflowed onto Avenue Road hoping to catch a glimpse of Hollywood funny men Hope and Crosby. Ra and Wet 'n Dirty even managed to out draw Bill Bixby and Shelley Winters while striking a pose down the street from the newly renovated Sassafraz.

The trail also featured a spectacular Grand Canyonesque view check which was apparently more than Shadow could handle.

Also on trail the newly shorn 6" Under was taking digs at senior citizen Half Wit. Careful there young man or you may wake up 6" Shorter.

Humpday, reliving the summer of love in Yorkville got harassed by the fuzz for wearing his negligee backwards.

After a 1K sprint down Spadina the half minds arrived at Grossmans to the sprightly sounds of Dixieland.  While Moist Leatherette cut a rug on the dance floor in her revealing leopard skin print the rest of the pack replaced their body fluids.

At this point I was finally able to sit back and enjoy the fine sartorial display. First we had Back Door Buzz in a limb lifting Daisy Duke number. Not be outdone was Eager Beaver sporting lacy cut off PJ's which apparently had lace in all the wrong places. There was also Wet 'n Dirty in a, ummm... form fitting champagne coloured slip and Ra in a hot pink and black ensemble with sexy fish net stockings.

A short jaunt through Chinatown and the pack assembled at the Greedy Kitty where Sex Toy awarded prizes to the best dressed. Most creative was Cougar playing Anne Bancroft playing Mrs. Robinson (who by the way is her younger sister). The grand prize winner however was DrFuqsAlot who wore a crimson see through teddy. Down boy.

The Co Gm's handed out down downs to one and all. Most memorable was FLAB for being the FRB at the last two hashes.  In fact she was the only non hare at the last two hashes! Special mention was also given to Moist Leatherette whose son is apparently getting paid to polish the porpoise. Where can I get a gig like that?

It must also be mentioned that ESL teachers Eager Beaver, Half Wit, and Humpday were busy translating a few choice words from our hymnal for the wee Chinese lad.

Somewhere along the line H2Ho finally arrived preceded only momentarily by Hypnotits and Just Vanala whom Ra had plucked from the clutches of Ewan McGregor and Colin Farrell. Who knows what would have happened had he not arrived in the nick of time.

Thus began an overnight odyssey which didn't end until early morning croissants at La Bamboche on Manor Road. (Please excuse the shameless plug for La Bamboche... Wet 'n Dirty made me do it.)
