Edward’s Gardens

April 14, 2008

The promise of a good ol’ wet and dirty run drew a nice crowd of twenty to Edward’s Gardens on a sunny but chilly Monday evening.

Dr. Zeus came but left the bitch at home. Someday maybe Ocean will come and leave Dr. Zeus at home. We can always hope.

Half Wit was there as well, having spent the last two weeks on her back. Quick, get that woman some ointment.

Circle began just as Casket Case arrived compliments of a taxi chit from work. (atta boy)

After brief instructions from last minute hares Wet ‘n Dirty and Humpday, the pack took off west on Lawrence past the Bridal Path. At least most of the pack took off. Wet ‘n Dirty, Sex Toy and Cougar decided to go house hunting while Shadow used his time to case the very same homes for later that night.

Running behind Park Lane PS, hash mittenologist Casket Case bent down to pick up a glove that was apparently too grotty even for him. A short time later he tossed what will hopefully be the last snowball of the year. Even though Casket Case has only spent one winter in Canada he has become quite the tosser. I’ve even heard that he practices tossing with some of his new found gloves. Eeew.

As the pack mud-surfed down a steep embankment towards Glendon College, Nadia Cumaneatme lamented that she had just Shaq sized her environmental footprint. Does anyone else remember a nubile, young Nadia back in Montreal in 76? She was invincible. Now, although she can still do a mean cartwheel, her high bar skills have all but left her. It’s sad really. Anyway, perhaps she can join Birdbrian in his new cycling regimen as he fights to regain the slim, trim physique that once made so many women (and some men) swoon.

At one section of trail New Shoez, Shampoo, Half Wit and others gleefully bounded through a swamp, while others such as Didgeridoo and Dapper Sapper did all that they could to skirt the sloppy stretch.

Coincidently a short time later, the hares had arranged a little agility test for the hashers; a snow fence stretched across the Thomas Bata trail. Only a lithe Humpday was able to channel Perdita and leap the obstacle in a single bound... ya right! The beer check and circle were both held beside a billabong off Wilket Creek. Down downs were given to Casket Case for sticking it to the man and Half Wit for endurance. Prince Valium earned one for FRB’ing and a bunch of wankers got ‘em for dfl’ing and keeping a frostbitten GM waiting. COD didn’t get one. After announcements, the shivering horde gathered up the dead soldiers and headed home. All that is, except Shadow who had to take care of some business.
