The latest anthrax scare, reported by my friend Tongueless, GM of Gypsies in the Palace H3, San Francisco: The complaint was posted to an on-line neighborhood forum. The ensuing discussion is interesting. First, you get some insight into public perception of the Hash House Harriers (reasonably positive IMO). Second, speculation on what the vandalism [...]  I don’t know … last time I went by a weekend tent revival, it seemed very loud to me, and I’m not at all sure the people who came to it had the “proper conduct expected for people who come in for the weekend.” —Flying Booger From the Roanoke Rapids NC Daily Herald: “Hash run” [...] I gave up drinking ten years ago this month. Not sure if today’s the exact day, but marking the on-oniversary on Saint Patrick’s Day seems appropriate, so I’m going with it. Erin go bragh!

Actually I’ve heard enough stories to make me puke. Running naked through bushes, getting pulled in the middle enough [...] Here’s a screen grab of a EuroWeekly story about hashing in Rota, Spain.
You can click on it to read the whole piece, but it’s so short I’ll just quote it in full and save you the click: IN case you ever wondered, hashing is a brisk walk or run through the [...] It’s fun to get mail from Half-Mind Weblog readers, but I have mixed feelings about this letter: Stumbled across your Hash Rants last night, and, suddenly, I’d spent a good hour or so reading.
