Dikkus, Just Lyall (Double Hump's brother), and Annie of the Vancouver HHH, at the 'pre-lube' for the run.

Richard the Turd and Masterbacker keeping warm inside.

Sir My Cocks A Fallen showing off his fashion style in the Dark Side shirt, second edition.

Banged Up Between happy for a hug.

The Hare reassures The Turd that there will be enought beer.  The Hare is also our Brew Master.

Waiting for the event to happen.

Stroke Alone explains to Lakey how big ... the event seems to be, and Blue Balls and Masterbacker seem to be checking ... their watches.

The rabble is big, but not too big too circle up.  The back of Blue Ball says it all.

The festivities start off with hashers getting various items that shed light, to help them stay visible in traffic. .Whale Wanker from the Calgary Hash gets a small plastic pumpkin, with lit fibber optic hairs coming out of its head.

Our Hare, Premature Evacuation, evacuates flour from a water bottle to show his trail marks.

He says the trail marks are all there, ... somewhere out there, ... between here and the BC, somewhere out there.  It's the hounds job the find them.

Turd with a princess wand, and Deep Shit with his fiber optic head dress and a blinky wand are sure to be seen.

Good message for drivers, and some bike hash.  Hasher on foot need to be sure not to let themselves be run over when they cut off cyclists.

The Hares lost again!?

Cinderella looking to share his pumpkin with Annie, or ... just looking.

Just Rickie following the pack down Harbour Road just off Tyee Road.  Double Hump in close pursuit.

Sir My Cocks A Fallen with a optical fiber mohawk style headdress.  Fiber optics are mainly used for communication, so it seems appropriate to ask what is SMCAF signing; is it a 'sign of the horns', or did he really mean 'IL' in 'ILY', but missed the Y?

We're at the BC, and Dikkus is trying to give us the bird, but its a polite bird.  Richard the Turd is just happy for the refreshment.

We have hashers from all over; Proxy Tits from Portland is the only one looking at the camera, but off to the left in blue is Pissonya from Comox, Nipple Detector (back turned in yellow) is from Lund, String Cheese (in white) from Portland, and Clownmydia with his face covered by his left hand is from Portland.  I think next time the Hash Flash should shout cheese!

After a run through Vic West, everyone is at the BC now.  The BC was in Bernard Park, still in Victoria, but only one street away from Esquimalt.

Jack the Tripper in the dark.  Annie would be more concerned if he wasn't the 'Tripper'.

Just Debbie and Richard the Turd in conversation, may be over motorcylce sidecars.

A happy trio; drink, roses, and pumpkins.

That's Digger doing what he like to do most, ... other than brewing what he likes to drink most.

Whale Wanker from Calgary, Lakey, and Banged Up Between share a bench.  It was a long run.

Little Blow Peep tends the dogs, Little Digger a Ridgeback Cross, and Itchy Bitch a Golden Retriever.  The VH3 is going to the dogs with dog hashes starting this year.

Wet Taco, who is often travelling.  This is probably one of our first posted pictures of this hasher.

Just Rickie is being dragged away by a hound.

It looks like Sir My Cocks A Fallen has lent out his headdress.  Good colour sense!

Finding the cooler!

Lots of hashers in the dark;   seventy six people turned up for the 600th Weekend Dinner, as many as 35 turned up at the Dark Side #234 run.

Nipple Detector from Lund chatting with Boomerang and Baby from Calgary.  Lund is the home of the Lund SPLHash.  In 2008 the VH3 moved its regular run 454 to the SPLHash, thus we have a write-up about it.

The elusive Stoolie Andrews in aubergine, and some of our younger hashers, in blue Masterbaker and Hoopalong Chastity, and I suspect the man in black is Bag Licker.

Hasher make sure all their cans are packed away.  Hashers leave behind only flour, and good spirits.

Double Hump and Digger show off their wands.  Of course 'Double' has two.

Ears meets horns.

String Cheese, Proxy Tits and Poke Her Face from Portland, on and evolving sculpture by the folk artist Rich Rico.  Click here for a daytime image.

In the dark this art is not so clear, and it has faded since it was created in 2007. 

This hasher has the best cigars, and is conspicuous named Fireman in the Hole.  He's 'at large' because he doesn't have a home hash, or so we believe.

Digger the Dark Side RA, and prominent member of the rulling Dark Side Junta calls the hounds to circle up.

Poke Her Face from Portland has a birthday, so Premature Evacuation and Clownmydia decide to make a birthday cake for her.

A cylinder is used, flour, beer, an egg, if you have cholocate ... Preemie thinks a little extra flour might help.

Then after we sing Happy Birthday, the cylinder is lifted, with the predictable results.

Digger continues the event.  It seems that much of the flour stayed on Poke Her Face.

Boomerang shares a down-down with String Cheese.

Just Rickie is called in for punishment along with her pooch.

We name Rickie's dog "Double Vision".

Softwood from Whitehorse, and Baby from Calgary share a down-down.  Softwood says the Whitehorse Hash used the Victoria Dark Side or Victoria Hash as a North American model on how to establish and conduct the Whitehorse Hash;  however, I suspepect they dress more warmly.

Dikkus was a founder of the Dark Side, and also brought over from Vancouver to Victoria the hashing tradition, so we gave him the Dark Side's Wanker's bed pan to drink from.

Before the circle breaks up to go to on-afters, Jonners leads the rabble in a the Hash Hymn; 'Swing low, sweet char-i-o-ot, Cumin' four two carry me home...'

The evening end with lots of good food and beer at Spinnakers Brewpub, where the Dark Side started.  On On!
