The Event that Isn’t … or Is It?

Here’s a screen capture from the Half-Mind Events Calendar:

Normally I include links in calendar entries so that readers can go straight to the event’s own website if they’re interested and want to know more. In this case, however, the event’s own website turned out to be no good, so I linked to the [...]

Booger’s Hash Bag

A couple of items that have been bouncing around in the bottom of the bag:

Hops, he of Red Dress Run fame, shares my disdain for the widely-used “Drinking Club with a Running Problem” motto. It’s certainly true hashers drink (most of us, anyway). It’s certainly true we traditionally have beer after a trail. But [...]

Red Dress Wars: Hashers 1, Poachers 0

In a recent post I wrote about non-hashing running groups copying and co-opting our long-time hashing tradition, the Red Dress Run. In that post I mentioned efforts to head off a non-hashing RDR in Las Vegas, Nevada.

After the voting results were announced at InterHash 2010 in Kuching, the Kenyan [...]

Women and Other Undesirables

My friend Barterbitch sent me this message on Facebook last night:

“Last night I got kicked out of Melbourne H3, with whom I have been a paid member for 7 years now. [They] informed me my subs would not be taken and I was no longer welcome to be a member, as they were going [...]

Hash Songs & Circles

Parts of an ongoing conversation, mostly carried out on hash-l:

Chicago Hasher (responding to a hash-l message about skits at the upcoming InterAmericas Hash in Savannah, Georgia):

Speaking of skits, I was wondering if anyone was going to do something like this after the latest ruling from the White House.

Guest Post: Athleticism

After reading my recent post on athleticism and hashing, Pittsburgh hasher Fuk Stik sent me a long comment. He has so much to say, and says it so well, I decided to turn it into a guest post (with his kind permission, of course). Here it is, in Fuk Stik’s own words:

FB,

Here’s my [...]
